• Visual C++ VC8 complains when #using a types from a VC 7.1 managed assembly that has static const members.

  I am trying to use C++/CLI to compile some managed classes that use types from an old .NET 1.1 assembly that was compiled with VC 7.1. The old VC 7.1 assembly contains classes that have static const members that were declared as follows using the old Managed Extensions for C++ syntax. public __value class DPoint3d { public: double x,y,z; static const DPoint3d Zero = DPoint3d(0.0, 0.0 ,0.0); But when compiling my new C++/CLI classes that utilize the old DPoint3d value type the compiler complains: S:\src\Mozart1\msj\mstn\mscore\clr\Internal\Tests\ElementAccess\ElementAccess.cpp(97) : warning C4393: 'Bentley::Geometry::DPoint3d::Zero' : const has no effect on initonly data member; ignored OK. Is this saying that somet ...Show All

• Windows Forms Give me some feedback from this "rude" Drag and Drop

  I'm trying to make a drag and drop of a button from a panel to the form: private void button1_GiveFeedback(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.GiveFeedbackEventArgs e) { label1.Text = "TOBOGAN"; button1.Location = new Point(MousePosition.X-10,MousePosition.Y-47); } private void button1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { button1.DoDragDrop(button1,DragDropEffects.Move); a = new Point(MousePosition.X,MousePosition.Y); } It does the drag and drop no problem, to anywhere on the form but the mouse cursor when i press and hold in the button it goes to the upper left corner of the button but it makes the drag and drop. Would like some comments on this. Sorry the bad english Tiago Matos ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Image button source

  Hi. May be you can help me with this. I want to make a image button rollover. I want to trigger a event on mouse over event. I've a control template using a Button. My problem is that I want to pass the image source that I'm going to use in normal and over state. In this case I send only the normal state (1.png), but I want to use a user defined image so I could change the image. May be with a attached property but I couldn't find the way. Any ideas Thanks a lot.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Configuring Elementary Security

  I'm trying to just get a service working from outside a domain and am getting nothing but headaches trying to get it going. Here's my configuration for now: < bindings >    < wsDualHttpBinding >       < binding name = " wsDualHttpBinding " >          < security mode = " Message "/ >    </ wsDualHttpBinding > </ bindings > This works locally, but I get an error on the client saying it couldn't work out the SOAP security. As I understand it, WCF uses Windows credentials by default for wsDualHttpBinding and this would make sense because it works locally, but not on the other computer. To get around this, I tri ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Updating a self-hosted service

  Context I'm designing a windows service to run a self-hosted scenario of services that are loaded from GAC. I've created a "drop" folder, in which to drop the .dll of the service I want to host. My service watches this folder and when a file has been dropped in, I install it into the GAC and load the ServiceHost. Now, my trouble is that when I'm "updating" an existing hosted service, it does not reflect the updated code that I've installed to the GAC, even though I close the ServiceHost and create a new service host from the GAC. It seems to cache to original service somewhere until I actually restart my Windows service. Question Is there a way to dynamically change the hosted service without ...Show All

  I am building a custom form designer. I need to serialize the code compile unit, and later deserialize and reload the designer surface. I believe that I need to implement the IDesignerLoaderHost Interface to extend a designer host to support loading from a serialized state. I am looking for samples, examples, snippets and / or guidance in order to get this to work as soon as possible. Thanks, Octai ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System The onmouseover javascript property isn’t replayed by Visual Studio.

  During the recording process, the onmouseover property was clearly captured. This was meant to change the status of a product from ‘approved’ to ‘work in progress’. However on playback, that wasn’t displayed and more over, the ensuing screen was still the one displayed before the corresponding request. I expected a screen titled ‘work in progress’ in addition to other changes subsequent to the onmouseover action. Hence the validation for the text in the expected screen, as well as the web test fails. Even though the action is executed it is not displayed on the playback browser screen. Hence the appropriate screen does not appear. Instead of displaying a pag ...Show All
