• Software Development for Windows Vista Installed June CTP and now missing activities

  I installed the Juce CTP after un-installing the Beta 2 version and now I am missing a lot of activities. The only activities that are in the toolbox are - Compensate, Fault Handler, Suspend, Snyc, Terminate, Throw, and TransactionScope. When I click on the Theme Configuration, the rest of the Activites appear, but that seems to be the only place. I tried adding or creating different types of projects, but the same ones appear. I did an uninstall, ran the WinFx 3.0 uninstall tool (July 2006 CTP), and tried to re-install, but nothing changed. I do have OneNote 2007 Beta 2. I installed the run-time components and extensions compatable with 2007. Is this correct Any help is appreciated. I had the same p ...Show All

• SQL Server Timeout expired.

  I have a linked server in a local SQL 2000 MSDE database. It connects to a SQL 2005 database on a remote server. When the user tries to download some fairly big binary files he gets the error "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." I have written the application in C# 2003 using the .NET framework 1.1. I am using the SqlCommand object and I am setting the timeout to 2700. (I think there was an error setting the timeout to 0). After about 10-15 minutes the timeout error is thrown.

• Smart Device Development Smart Device CAB Project dependency error

  I have a Smart Device CAB Project in VS 2005 that builds an installer CAB for my C#, .NET Compact Framework 2.0 SP1 application. The Smart Device CAB Project contains the Primary Output from my application's User Inteface project. Recently, the CAB Project stopped getting the latest output from my User Interface project. In other words, even though I had made bug fixes to my User Interface project and re-built it, the CAB project was still holding onto the old DLLs and EXEs that did not contain the bug fixes. I spent a frustrating day trying to figure out why my latest bug fixes worked fine on the Pocket PC Emulator, but did not work when I installed them on ‘real’ devices. When I discovered the problem, I deleted the User ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Listview: dynamic loading content possible?

  I've got a listview containing a GridView. I'd like to fill the content of this listview dynamically. So, instead of loading all my items (could be thousands) into an observablecollection I'd like to give the ListView the count of items, and just load those items that are displayed right now. To get this data from the database is no problem, but I need a way to know which lines I need to load to be displayed right now, need to know when scrolling, resizing or similar is changing these. Is there any known way to achieve this Thanks, Sam You could write your own descendent of ViewBase that adds paging You would also need a paging descendent of ObservableCollection Then you could notify the ne ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Assigning values to listbox items

  Hello, I'm wondering if there is any way in C# of assigining a value to a listbox item, but having it actually display another value on the screen. For example, I may have a listbox with an item that I want to display on the screen as "Under age 21", but I want it to actually carry the value of "uAge" or similar. Is there any easy way of doing this I'm doing this because I want to use the values in the listbox to identify database column names, but the database column names are not reader friendly. Cheers, Greg. Hi, It's quite easy for you to set the listbox.items[ i ].value diff from listbox.items[ i ].text. otherwise, when you use the way: listbox.items.add(obje ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why does ClientBase Dispose need to throw on faulted state? (Or, what's the difference between close and abort?)

  Could someone enlighten me as to why calling Dispose on a faulted client proxy needs to throw an CommunicationObjectFaultedException instead of just aborting the client   Essentially we have to do this: Client c = new Client(); try {  c.Foo();  c.Close(); } catch (Exception) {  c.Abort();  throw; } Instead of: using(Client c = new Client()) {  c.Foo(); } Yes, I've read the justifications in the SDK and here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=627970&SiteID=1  but the "summary of internal discussion" seems to be "well, that's what we're doing, so deal with it." I still don't understand why Close must throw instead of just, well, closing I know I'm going to have to live with i ...Show All
