• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) PropertyChanged not always honored?

  Here's an issue from Windows Forms that appears to have crept into WPF as well. Any solution/workarounds are welcome! Consider a class with a property that enforces a business rule - such as that the value must be all upper case: public class Test : INotifyPropertyChanged { public event System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged; // ... private string _data; public string Data { get { return _data; } set { _data = value.ToUpper(); OnNotifyPropertyChanged("Data"); } } } Bind this to a TextBox and type in a lower-case value. The user continues to see the lower-case value on the screen, even though the object obviously has an upper-case value. The PropertyChanged event is bliss ...Show All

  Hi, I'm trying to make an application pass the AppVerifier test, but I don't understand the resulting error messages.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) creating complex lookless controls

  Hey, What would be the best practice for collecting events from the template controls for a lookless custom control. Say I have 3 text areas on the custom control whose text is bound to some properties. That part is easy enough to do, but say I want to know if any of these areas have lost focus, and which one lost the focus Since these controls that are holding the text are defined in the template I don't have an easy way of discriminating between them. I can handle previewlostfocus or whichever, but to determine which was the control that lost fous means to me I'm left with the rather unsatisfactory solution of relying that they have some identifier in their control name, or something of that nature. Is there any way of rerouting an even ...Show All

• SQL Server Problems with merging raw files opened as variables

  I have a group of parallel dataflow tasks that produce raw file outputs that I then want to merge together in a subsequent task. I use variable names for the raw file outputs because I want to the path to the files to be easy to configure for different deployment environments. Therefore, I've got a package scoped variable called pkgRawFileFolder and in each of my parallel tasks my raw file destination is derived from another variable scoped at the task level, called tskRawFileOutput which is evaluated as an expression equal to [User::pkgRawFileFolder]+"/RawFile_1" or similar (the name of the rawfile isn't important as long as each parallel task uses a different name). In the container task that performs the merge, I want a Foreac ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. missing Direct3D device???

  Help! I'm working on my first XNA Project: Learning how to work with 2D images/sprites. I follow the directions completely and I get this in the Main() module when it tries to access the Game1 module: Could not find a Direct3D device that has a Direct3D9-level driver and supports pixel shader 1.1 or greater. I tried downloading the Direct3D 9.0 SDK extras package, but it didn't help. I'm stumped. Dan No, Pixel Shaders are required because XNA uses them as a foundation. However, why are you so worried Graphic Cards that support Pixel Shaders (3.0) are only like $50.00. Here is one I found on amazon, but every card is around this price, and PCIe cards are even cheaper. http://www.amazon.com/eVGA-GeForce-6200-256M ...Show All

• Windows Forms Tab control and Bound textboxes

  I'm not sure if this is the right place for this question, but I'll try it anyway. I've got a tab control with textboxes on different tabs that are bound to a dataset. I am copying a row by using the loaddatarow method. Then I set the textboxes to display a few different values that what the row I copied had in it. This works, but when I change the tab before saving it, its like it reloads the textboxes to what is in the dataset. How can I keep it from 'reloading' these textboxes I want it to be enabled though, because I want to be able to view whats on the different tabs and also be able to change some of the values in the textboxes. ...Show All

• .NET Development A specialized String.Split but on a location instead of a character

  I am looking to split a string at a specific character count and return an array of strings from that, with the smarts of not splitting on a word.... The functionality would somewhat mirror string.Split which is used to tokenize, but instead of a character it would have a hard minimum line size. Any existing functionality to tap into or thoughts on doing it advTHANKSance Thanks James, My post could use tweaking to make it a better design document <g>. Word wrap is the key as with laying out text on a page so to speak...one would not want chop a word in the middle but move it down to the next line. So I guess the rule would be no more words over the line size with the knowledge that lines returned would be smaller or equal to the ...Show All
