• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ComboBox bound to an XmlDataProvider

  Hi there, I have an Xml document which is bound (using the standard {Binding XPath=...} syntax) to a bunch of controls. One of those controls is a ComboBox. How can I then bind a list of possible values to that ComboBox ItemsSource such that when one is selected it's value is pumped back into the Xml document Binding the ItemsSource isn't the problem, rather having the selected item reflected back in the xml document. So the xml document that i'm working with might look something like: <xml> <container> <somevalue>myvalue</somevalue> </container> </xml> And the ComboBox is bound something like: <ComboBox SelectedItem={Binding Source=xmlDataProvider, XPath=xml/container/somevalue} I ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Quick question about keyword CPC

  In essence what I would like to do is tell MSN that for this keyword I'm willing to pay $$$ maximum. It should then decide what the cheapest price is for me (I want this independent of the match type) and only increase the price to make sure my ad appears. Now the other confusion I have is related to the different match types. I want my CPC to be for all match types but the option of having the different match types is intriguing. Does it mean that I may end up paying more or less for different match types Is it possible to give the MAX (which is what I'm really looking for) for all different match types I'm basically trying to get the same type of logic that we're currently using on Google to MSN. Google has the notion of highest bid we' ...Show All

• SQL Server data are not allocated in the properly NDF. Why?

  Hi everyone, The followings actions works fine. But only the first NDF (PRIMERO) is growing up.

• SQL Server Trigger- dump 'inserted' table to temp table

  I want to pass the 'inserted' table from a trigger into an SP, I think I need to do this by dumping inserted table into a temporary table and passing the temp table. However, I need to do this for many tables, and don't want to list all the column names for each table/trigger (maintenance nightmare). Can I dump the 'inserted' table to a temp table WITHOUT specifying the column names It is hard to implement this type of auditing code. Unfortunately, the inserted/deleted virtual tables can only be accessed within the trigger code and only within the body of the trigger as static statements. So this means these tables are not visible even in dynamic SQL code executed from trigger body or SPs that are ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot use TFS Team Explorer and VSS2005 alongside

  We are unable to use VSS2005 alongside TFS Team Explorer. If we change source control plug-in in Tools to VSS2005, and then try to load a VSS2005-controled solution, it automatically switches to TFS and cannot connect to VSS2005. If we try to switch source control again to VSS2005, after the solution is loaded, it thinks it's a new solution and tries to add it anew into VSS2005. Basically, it gives preference to TFS whatever ways of loading VSS2005 solutions we try. If we uninsall TFS Team Explorer, VSS2005 works again ... not good enough ... You're right, the solution file had the old bindings for TFS. We had the following scenario with this solution: 1. Was checked into VSS6 2. Was checked into TFS 3. Was checked into V ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Fullscreen and Alt+Tab

  Hello, I have encountered the problem that the GraphicsDevice.DeviceReset event is not called, when I run my program in fullscreen mode, switch to another program by Alt+Tab, and open my fullscreen program again. But the DeviceReset and DeviceCreated events of the graphics component are called. All managed resources get lost, it seems that the device is disposed and recreated. Is there a way to let the graphics component keep the device and only reset it My test program is based on the Windows Game (XNA) template of XNA Game Studio Express Beta. Hmm. The logic in GraphicsComponent is that if the Reset failed then we tear down and recreate the device. Can you hook the DeviceReset ting event and see if ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Product Key to migrate from TFS Workgroup edition to Standard edition

  Hello, we have TFS Workgroup edition (supplied along with MSDN subscription package) and successfully used it in our development process . Now we want to upgrade it to Standard version (5 CAL is really limiting us). As says this article ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404848(VS.80).aspx) the only thing we need is the right Product Key. To get it, we bought TFS and 25 CALs for it and received yesterday electronic version of licenses. BUT, as we were told in our local Microsoft’s technical support, this product DOES NOT HAVE any activation keys itself and therefore they can’t give us any Product Key to upgrade from Workgroup. The only thing they suggest is to install it from the scratch, but we don’t want to do ...Show All

• Visual Basic need help saving a print image

  In my program I have a print routine that prints one or more graphics pages using the PrintPage event. This works fine with print preview, page setup and all the normal things. Now I want to add the capability to create and save a bitmap of the print image instead of printing to the printer. Clearly, all the code is in place to create the print image, I just need to save it. It does not make sense to me to make a bitmap from the screen.
