• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Relative bindings for nested UserControls

  Hi all, Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I've trawled the forums and net for an answer, and just can't find what I'm looking for. I've created a XAML UserControl in another library that has binding defined for its element, however the DataContext for that control is specified in parent XAML form that is hosting the control. I'm using a XMLDataProvider as a test harness and I'm specifying the DataContext in the hosting XAML page (lets call this Form1) and then I'm creating an instance of the UserControl in Form1, then wanting to shift the DataContext to a contained element in the binding XPath. XML Data: < Items > < Item > < Number > 10001A </ Number > < BillTo > < Contac ...Show All

• Visual C# class for handling exceptions

  hi everyone! i need to control exceptions in my win applications, I already have a lil knowledgment about exceptions and i' ve been searching some good examples about the best practices for handling exceptions, but i havent found any complete example. Someone can help me showing me some portion of code, maybe the class you created to manage exceptions and the way u catch it. Hope to find some help. Best regards. Joseph I see exceptions as a two layer model. The first layer is to attempt ot catch the exceptions explicitly for the job being done. For example you are attempting to do a File IO operation. It should be surrounded by a try catch construct coded explicitly for "only" ...Show All

• Windows Forms InitializeNewComponent: How to override?

  The code below will not work because InitializeNewComponent cannot be declared 'Overrides' because it does not override a sub in the base class. Removing 'Overrides' causes it to state that this method shadows an overridable method in the base class 'ControlDesigner'. To override the base method, this method must be declared 'Overrides'. So, how can I override the InitializeNewComponent method Thanks, Trausti <Designer( GetType (MyDesigner))> _ Public Class MyControl End Class Friend Class MyDesigner Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner Public Overrides Sub InitializeNewComponent( ByVal defaultValues As IDictionaryService) MyBase .InitializeNewComponent(defaultVal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSS Migration hanging TF60047 - how to move forward?

  I am in the middle of running VSSConverter to migrate our source (~2GB) from VSS to TFS. It has been hanging for an hour or so with error # TF60047. The error message says there could be a problem with the network connection or TFS connection. I am running in a single server setup so TFS and SQL Server are all on the same machine, and all are running, incl. all SQL Server service - I checked in Configuration Mgr. One problem earlier was that there was huge (~800K) memory usage by w3wp.exe which was being run by the TFSService account. So I shut down IIS. Now, even though memory usage is down to acceptable levels, the migration is still not moving forward. Any ideas on how I can proceed here Or if I were to start afresh, how do I do that ...Show All

• Visual Studio Generate C# 2005 project files

  Hello, I am looking forward to manage some C# projects programatically. Precisely, I am generating C# files and I want them to be added and removed from their projects on-the-fly. It would be very useful to add VSS checkin and checkout compatibility in the process. To achieve this, I think have to be able to at least generate C# projects as well. What is the most efficient way to write these files Is VS 2005 SDK suitable for that task It would be very nice if I could use a method that offers maximal compatibility with future versions of Visual Studio. Thanks! Marc Lacoursiere RooSoft Computing yes, writing them by hand is easier IMO. If you edit the file in Visual Studio (any fla ...Show All
