• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) WPF/e vs. HTML

  After reading Mike Harsh's blog post What WPF/e Really is . I'm kind of disappointed with the approach that the Architects are taking with WPF/e, as in that it augments HTML instead of replacing it. Why not Personaly I find that HTML slows me down in producing rich content for my users (something that WPF promises). Sure its easy, its fast, and we should keep it (not every website needs rotating letters). However, as I see .NET being used -alot- for mission critical application, I would only EXPECT WPF/e to take the fore front and upgrading the way we provide commericial services on the Internet in a fast, uniform way. Flash is doing this, Flex is not 'augmenting' the Web, its rewriting it. Share your thoughts. I thin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System branching files twice to the same branch

  Hello, We are moving our source code control system from pvcs to tfs. During this process I encountered the following strange behaviour during a branch operation. I'll list the actions I performed. 1. create a directory with a file under source control : $repository/main/A/file0.txt 2. branch the 'main' folder to branch 'test', using the branch UI. This generates $repository/test/A/file0.txt 3. I then found out that I forget to add file1.txt to directory A and to branch that too. So I created $repository/main/A/file1.txt 4. I did exactly the same branch operation as in 2., i.e. branching main to test 5. The result is not that $repository/test/A/file1.txt is created as pending branch checkin, but that the entire main ...Show All

• Windows Forms Image Manipulation

  I have a application that allows users to upload image files to the server. The form for doing it contains a PictureBox and a Browse button. Clicking the button opens the FileOpen dialog, where user can select an image to upload. There are a few things I would like to know. Although I can set the filter criteria for images, the user can still select a non-image file by typing *.* in the File name text box. Attempting to assign a non-image file to picturebox generates an 'Out of memory' exception. Can I display a message to the user after he/she selects a non-image file without explicitly checking out the extension of the file. I also want to manipulate the image before uploading it. Specifically, I want to convert it to jpg format (I know ...Show All

• SQL Server Printing differences between RTM and SP2

  Using SQL Server 2000 SP4 and SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services I'm using the code from http://blogs.msdn.com/bryanke/articles/71491.aspx and have discovered a problem with the printed report between the RTM version of Reporting Services and SP2. Our development server had not been upgraded to SP2 and using Bryan's code the reports were printing without any issues at all. Now the server has had SP2 applied the report footer is missing and data on the right-hand margin is truncated.

• Visual C# Passing parameters in C#

  Hello Members, I am trying to call a sql function in C# ,it work fine when I call for SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT dbo.Calc(1, 18, 4) as totalCost ",cnn); But when I try to so the same with calling parameters it doesn't show the result. e.g SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT dbo.Calc(Par1,Par2,Par3) as totalCost ",cnn); Any answers You'll need to pass the values of the 'parameters', not the names: SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT dbo.Calc(" + Par1.ToString() + ", " + Par2.ToString() + ", " + Par3.ToString() + ") as totalCost  ",cnn); Also, it's highly recommended to use stored procedures rather than constructing sql strings in code.

• Smart Device Development TypeLoadException - need help with loader log

  I have a CF project that has been working for quite a while. Recently, I began doing unit testing of some CF assemblies from a desktop targeted project. For some reason, the code no longer runs on the device. It gives the following exception: Could not load type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1' from assembly 'mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=969DB8053D3322AC'. I'm not sure if I've somehow used generics in a way thats not supported on the CF but yet is still allowed to be compiled (since it runs from the desktop unit test projects). I have no idea what's going on. I've tried reinstallation of .NET CF 2.0 SP1. Here's a portion of the output of the loader log: ====================================== ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Can anyone confirm this potential BUG with Spritebatch / RenderTarget...

  Hi all, I'm experiencing a strange problem that I can only attribute to one of the following... 1) My own incompetence :-) 2) A flaw in the Spritebatch code. Can anyone confirm that it is the latter please. Some background... In order to ensure the correct look when running at a variety of resolutions and aspect ratios I am wanting to spritebatch all of my 2D stuff to a RenderTarget and then spritebatch the RenderTarget to the BackBuffer in the correct scaling (either full screen for widescreen or not quite full height for normal TV). I am creating a Texture2D as a RenderTarget of 1280x720, Default resource, 1 level, SurtfaceFormat.Color, etc. The problem... I stash the backbuffer, set the rendertarget to ...Show All
