• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Application.GetRemoteStream() break in RC1

  just moved an XBAP app from June CTP to RC1. the app is making an Application.GetRemoteStream() call to download a file to parse on the client (with a relative Uri). this used to work in June CTP, but RC1 returns a null (not a SecurityException). in fact, it fails in both partial trust and full trust. any idea what has changed Thanks, casey what i've found is that i can load the resource from the main XBAP assembly in our app, but the call fails from any other referenced assemblies. it always returns a null StreamResourceInfo for the other assemblies. i tried different ways to reference the path (e.g. /doc.xml vs doc.xml) ... still null. Uri uri = new Uri ( "doc.xml" , Ur ...Show All

• SQL Server Determinism of UDF

  I'm having a problem getting SQL to recognize a UDF as deterministic so I can use it in a persisted, computed column. I'm using INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES to check the IS_DETERMINISTIC value and it is always NO. Why isn't the following UDF deterministic ALTER FUNCTION [dbo] . [SecondsToTimePart2] ( @part CHAR , @seconds INT ) RETURNS INT AS BEGIN DECLARE @hours INT , @minutes INT SET @hours = @seconds / 3600 IF @part = 'H' RETURN @hours SET @seconds = @seconds - ( @hours * 3600 ) SET @minutes = @seconds / 60 IF @part = 'M' RETURN @minutes SET @seconds = @seconds - ( @minutes * 60 ) RETURN @seconds END It does not use any DB objects, flo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Windows Classic themes

  In many applications, the style looks like the old Windows Classic theme, even when run under Windows XP. How can I do this in my application Is it possible Thanks, James. Hi, Vampire Using Microsoft Windows XP, you can define the visual style or appearance of controls and windows from simple colors to textures and shapes. You can control each defined part of a control as well as each part of the non-client (frame and caption) area of a window. The user can then use the Appearance tab in the Windows Control Panel to switch between the classic visual style and other available styles. A visual style is included with the Windows XP release.

• Software Development for Windows Vista What happened to the HelpDeskSupport sample app in .NET RC1 and WinWF CTP5?

  Dear all, The HelpDeskSupport sample was in the SDK up until Beta 2.2, but it seems to have vanished. It looks like it exists on the web, but the links to the source code from the documentation are broken. I used it to obtain classes for "simple" communication between asp.net and a state machine workflow. This seemed to work ok, so I didn't look into it to any degree, but under RC1, using manual scheduling, it crashes because the communication interface uses a class global static to keep track of the DataPipeList and this does not persist across re-starts. The idea of a class that abstracts to data pipes with defined message formats is a good one, although the implementation of it here is a bit clumsy. Is there a samp ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can a build ever end without a OnBuildDone event?

  I currently have some code in my Addin that relies on a build ending with a OnBuildDone event.  Does anyone know of any situation that may cause a build to end without a OnBuildDone event   It seems like most of the typical exceptional situations (user cancels build, build fails, I kill build process) throw a OnbuildDone event.  However I am starting to suspect there are situations where this isn't the case... Any info or pointers on where to find the documentation on this sort of stuff thanks! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Creating a Table Adapter from Access DB wrong date format

  Hey all. In my Access database the date format is dd/mm/yyyy but when I create a table adapter from my access db table it loads the date as a full time + mm/dd/yyyy format. An example from one of the rows: In my database the row has a date column which represented as 14/1/2007 and at the table adapter it returns the date as 11:07 AM 1/14/2007 and all the controls which are binded to this tableAdapter return this format. Where do I specify the date format for the table Adapter (Maybe in the select statement of the TableAdapter And if so, how do I accomplish this) Thanks in advance :) Thanks for the reply but its not working :/ My control is DataGridView and it is connected to &qu ...Show All
