• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Canvas Callback without Background Set

  In the following example, the MouseDown callback works fine (example is from a browser app): <Canvas Height="500" Width="500" Background="Aqua" MouseDown="OnMouseDown"></Canvas> Removing the Background property seems to disable the MouseDown callback, the callback doesn't fire: <Canvas Height="500" Width="500" MouseDown="OnMouseDown"></Canvas> Is this expected Is there a fundemental reason why the background property would effect the mouse callbacks (Using Windows SDK RC1 on XP) Thanks for any help! I think some one has pointed out that WPF has a quite unique way of handling mouse event, it internally uses hi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Clarifying Forum Expectations...

  We've had some confusion about what expectations you should have with respect to the MSDN forums. This thread is an attempt to clarify that confusion, at least as far as how the folks from Visual Studio Team System (VSTS) interact with you here in the forums. Q: What is the VSTS goal for the MSDN Forums A: The forums provide a community-driven mechanism by which customers can have questions answered about Visual Studio Team System. In addition, they are a feedback mechanism for the product, the product documentation, and product-related activities. Product group members, Customer Support Services personnel, and MVPs will respond to questions here, but we also hope that the community becomes self-sustaining, and that ...Show All

  I receive the following error when compiling using Visual C++ Express Edition: Project : error PRJ0002 : Error result -1073741502 returned from 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.exe'.

• Audio and Video Development Applicative mode (Styling)

  Hello Everybody!!!! What I get from Spec is that the Applicative mode for styling uses an Xpath Expression to select the nodes. At each tick the style is re-initialised for the node and DOM tree can change.Thus, evaluated node set can change dynamically, thus a node may/maynot have applicative mode applied to it depending on the Xpath Evaluation. Is this understanding correct. 2) The Applicative mode is over-ridden by referential and inline style. What is the usage scenario for this mode Thanx in advance. Thanks for the answer. Another question : a) ( ~~Just to be sure~~ )Referential style applies to Loaded DOM BTW, the applicative mode is applied for 1 tick only i.e. it is similar to <set select="xpath" dur="1frame"> ...Show All

• SQL Server Migration to SQL Server 2k5

• .NET Development Recordset to DataTable Problem

  Hi All, I am having the strangest and most frustrating time trying to load a recordset into a data table more than once. For some reason, when I execute the following code, the first messagebox displays a record count of 2 and a second call to it displays a count of 0. Why the inconsistent result. The recordset seems to be open and I even perform a MoveFirst, etc. Nothing works. Should it not consistently return a record count of 2 since I am executing the same code twice. The code is extremly simple, but for some reason, it seems as if the recordset object itself becomes invalid after the .Fill operation is complete. The only way I can find this is to perform my BuildDataSource (real world scenario involves connecting to a database, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Storing Stuff

  Dear All, This may seem a little simple to some of you but its been slowly winding me up for a while now, so any pointers or advice would be greatly received. What I'm looking to do is store information inside my application, with out using a database (I mean Access, SQL etc.) I have used *.bin files in the past but I'm not sure that they would meet the needs of what I need to do. The project is for a small charity and so far has about 850 records that they wish to store, they mainly use open source or freeware and need to be able to move the data between desks and back it up on a daily basis. Also some times they are not connected into the network so a local copy of the said information needs to be copied to the local machine. ...Show All
