• .NET Development ObjectDataSource: Dragging more than 1 property generates compile error

  I have created an ObjectDataSource for my report and I can drag the properties of the object inside a list on my reportdesign. Nice.... However, whenever I drag a second property inside the list on the same report and try to compile, I get the following error: More than one data set, data region, or grouping in the report has the name ‘RZ_Agora_MarketInformation_Win32UI_Registration_MarketSegmentReport’. Data set, data region, and grouping names must be unique within a report.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cache returns partial results

  Assuming I have two following queries, in different places in my application; one can run before another, the order doesn't matter: from p in db.Posts select p; from p in db.Posts select new Post() { PostId=p.PostId,Title=p.Title }; Post, by definition, contains PostId, Title, Body and Image. Since the second query interprets as select PostId,Title from Posts while the first one contains all fields, and since DLinq uses cache, when running 2nd query before 1st one, post.Body and post.Image are null. I guess that occurres because the cache contains key with Identity column (seems to be the reason for the problem here ). I think this key should contain a list of fields. Or DLinq should know when to fill the instance t ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I get the color and location of a painted line using GDI+ when mouse clicked?

  Hi I have painted a line using GDI+ and would like to capture the color and location of the cursor when the user mouse clicked on the line. Does anyone got any suggestion as to how to do it Thank you. Soh Normally you should store the drawing information as it is drawn as there is no way to retrieve the information after the fact. However if you really want to get the color information given an arbitrary pixel on the screen then you can create a new bitmap in memory, use the Graphics.FromImage to get a Graphics object for the bitmap, use Graphics.CopyFromScreen to copy the pixel information from the screen into the bitmap and then use Bitmap.GetPixel to get the color. There might be an easier way ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Changing a Client's Endpoint Address on the fly

  There's a sample in the SDK that demonstrates how clients can pass WS-Addressing reference parameters to a service. The client uses an EndpointAddressBuilder to assign an EndpointAddress back to the client's Endpoint.Address field. This works fine if it's done before the client sends the first message. If, however, we want to modify the Endpoint.Address in a similar way after the first message has been sent (e.g. because we want to include parameters in the second that we didn't want to include in the first message) this has no effect on the subsequently sent messages. What I did now is that I just recreated the Channel in my implementation that extends ClientBase, i.e. if I detect a change between Channel.RemoteAddress and Endpoint.Addre ...Show All

• Visual Basic tabcontrol used in Visual Studio

  Is there any way to have a tabcontrol that looks similar to the one used in the Visual Studio IDE The existing tabcontrol provided by .NET 2.0 doesn't look nice.
