• Windows Forms ToolStripPanel

  Our VS 2005 Toolbox has a ToolStrip and a ToolStripContainer, but no ToolStripPanel. Must ToolStripPanels be added with code Hi, you could create ToolStripPanel from code (when form loads) or if you want to use it at design time, you could add it to your toolbox manually: 1. Right click the toolbox and select "Choose Items..:" - the Choose Toolbox Items dialog will pop up. 2. In the filter textbox, enter "ToolStripPanel" - the Compontents list should filter out to show the ToolStripPanel Control. 3. Check ToolStripPanel control and press OK button - the ToolStripPanel control will be added to your Toolbox. Andrej ...Show All

• Visual C# MSMQ bug?

  I have two applications that uses MSMQ for duplex communication, host and client. The host has an in-queue (Q1) where the client sends messages to the host. When a client sends a "register"-message, a new queue (Q2) is created by the host, where the client can receive answers from the host. The procedure in the client is like this: 1. Client connects to the hosts queue, Q1. 2. Client send a register message to Q1. 3. Client waits until Q2 is created with: MessageQueue.Exists( path of Q2 ) 4. MessageQueue.Exists( path of Q2 ) returns true. 5. Client creates a MessageQueue object (MessageQueue q1 = new MessageQueue( path of Q2 )) 6. Client registers formatter, event ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Mixing DataContract with Serializable attributes

  The documentation at http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.datacontractserializer.aspx indicates that the DataContractSerializer will throw an exception when asked to serialize a class decorated with both the DataContract and Serializable attributes. However when attempting this myself I didn't experience any such problem. Is the documentation incorrect The reason I ask is that I need to be able to store objects retrieved from public Web services via WCF (i.e. decorated with the DataContract attribute) in the ASP.NET session state server (which requires the object to be decorated with the Serializable attribute). Actually, it is allowed to mix [DataContract] ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development How to set default button and global variables?

  Two questions: 1. Total 3 menus with several buttons in each of them. how can I return to the correct menu with correct button focused after playing through each clip 2. If I have several .js file, where should I set the global variables that could be shared among all .js during disc playback Many thx! Easiest thing to do is to remember who has the focus when you leave one menu, and store it in a variable. Then when you load a page, use a simple animation to set the focus correctly: // When leaving the page: var focusedButton = GetFocusedButton(); if (focusedButton != null) resumeFocusId = focusedButton.core.id; // When loading the page (ie, setMarkupLoadedHandler) document.setXPathVa ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Can get IP from router, but cannot connect to Internet

  I have installed Winows Vista Ultimate (32-bit) on an HP Pavilion a1610n with the AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 dual-core CPU. 2 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD. My wireless NIC is a Netgear wg311v3 PCI card, and my wireless router is a Netgear WPNT834 RangeMax 240 (802.11b/g). I am running DHCP and Shared WEP (128-bit) on the router. I can connect to the router and get a dynamic IP address. However, I cannot ping the router and I cannot ping the IP assigned to the NIC. I can ping localhost (127.0.0.1). In Vista network settings, the WLAN shows up as "Unidentified Network", Access is "Local Only", and the network keeps switching to Public, even if I manually switch it to Private.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with Listview, XAML and hover

  Hi, I have a program that is done in XAML with C# code behind. I have a ListView that is employing the GridView layout. I need to be able to detect the ListViewItem over which the mouse is hovering so that I can make another form pop up (similar to a ToolTip) displaying information relevant to the user contained in that item. The ListView is instantiated in XAML, so the GetItemAt event only allows me one argument, index. I would like to be able to use mousePoint.X and mousePoint.Y to get the item that the mouse it currently over. I tried this event handler: grdUsers.AddHandler(ListViewItem.MouseEnterEvent, new MouseEventHandler(Tip_Opening)); however, it doesn't give me the ListViewItem as the sender, but, instead, gives me the ListView it ...Show All

• Windows Forms Include the parent control when a child is cut / copied and pasted.

  Hi all, This is the final step in what became a rather involved process. The big picture is that I need to present a container control at design-time which does NOT clip its children. So yeah, I want for instance a child button control to be able to draw beyond its parent's bounds. I've gotten it to work by implementing an "envelope / hub" mechanism, where the hub is the above-mentioned container, and the envelope is its parent, another container which sizes itself to envelop the hub. When the user needs to "float" (ie. un-clip) the child button, it gets re-parented to the envelope and now has free reign to paint over the hub's bounds. All that to say, I have one final problem: when the hub is cut to clipboard, ...Show All
