• Smart Device Development Deploying and accessing lots of images

  Hi, my application uses lots of images to display. Currently the user has to manually copy the data to his device and then specify the path to this. The data is stored in subdirectories, like \category1\image1 \category2\image1 \category2\image2 ... Now manually copying works, however it's quite uncomfortable. First idea was to make those files automatically copy by putting them in the .CAB file. However the CabWizard gives a build error. Searching the web revealed that the problem might be, that there are to many files (all in all around 2000 images, each around 5k). But even if this would work it's not a very elegant solution. The best thing would be to package all those images in some kind of si ...Show All

• SQL Server Refresh default value

  Hello, I have report parameters B with default from query. This query depend on other report parameters A that updates befor report parameter B. While user open the report and update report parameter A, the report parameter B get default value with the right default value but when user change his selection in parameter A, the default value in parameter B doesn't changed Any idea Smashing values that the user selected (either explicitly or implicitly by not changing the default) is usually considered to be a bad thing.There exist uncommon cases where the author of the report can reasonably know the user would expect their previously selected value will be overridden. Unfortunately, RS c ...Show All

• Commerce Server Extending Baskets and PurchaseOrders

  If I want to add properties to both the Basket and Purchase Order classes, do I have to extend each of them separately The Documentation says not to extend from OrderForm directly. Also, if the answer is that I indeed need to extend both the PurchaseOrder and Basket classes, how do I map the basket changes since there doesn't appear to be a Basket class for the storage mapping anywhere. Thanks, Dave Colin, My issue with the basket extensions is that if I have a custom property like "OrderType" that I use to search for baskets/purchase orders by on the front end, and with the orderManageMent context only supporting the basic filtering (equality based search parameters) I'm itching to write my own queries against th ...Show All

• .NET Development instead of answer

  Hi All! I'm having an interesting problem according to TCP communication within .NET framework. I'll include the whole application code here. It's a sample application that I created for testing this interesting behaviour. At my place (at my home computer) it works once in 4 trials . I'm a universitiy student actually, so I turned to my teacher with this problem. I brought the code to the university lab, and I couldn't show the problem because there I tryed it for almost 30 times and everything worked fine. What the code should do: There is two projects in my solution, one of them is the server, the other is the client. Each of them contains only one Program.cs file, the main program. First the server should be started: it starts listenin ...Show All

• Visual C++ MFC Toolbar Button Size Corruption

  Hi, I've just run into a problem porting an MFC application from VC++ 2003 to VC++2005. The application contains a toolbar. The toolbar has the extended style TBSTYLE_EX_DRAWDDARROWS One of the toolbar buttons has the style TBSTYLE_DROPDOWN. The toolbar is contained within a ReBar When a WM_SETTINGCHANGE message is received by the toolbar it seems to increase the size of all the buttons in the toolbar, causing parts of all button images to fall off the bottom and right edges of the toolbar. I've bugged this on connect.microsoft.com, ID229061. There is a code sample in the bug report Has anyone got workarounds for this Trapping and ignoring all WM_SETTINGCHANGE messages is not something I want to do. Steve. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Bugs in VS Orcas

  Here's a list of bugs we are running into using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Orcas Technology Preview - .NET Framework 3.0 Development Tools 1.0. Wondering if for each of these issues there is either 1) a workaround, or 2) a fix in the next version The XAML parser for the designer locks the dlls referenced by the xmlns tags so they can’t be recompiled without dropping Studio. For example, adding this declaration locks MyWorkInProgressDLL.dll when studio opens up the XAML editor: xmlns:v = " clr-namespace:MyWorkInProgressNamespace;assembly=MyWorkInProgressDLL " Can’t create xmlns declarations to namespaces defined in the same project (the XAML parser complains that the dll can't be found - well it hasn't been com ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to use DependencyPropertyConverter

  I have a need to procedurally get a reference to a DependencyProperty, and all I have at my disposal is a string. In the past I have been successful in doing this through creating a DependencyPropertyDescriptor, constructing it out of the name, owner type, and target type, and then simply reading its DependencyProperty property. It seems however (in theory) that using a DependencyPropertyConverter would be a superior solution to the one listed above. The documentation states that it can only convert a DependencyProperty to and from a String. It also says to use the following format in specifying the string: namespacePrefix : className . propertyName . Here is the article I am referencing: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-au/library/sy ...Show All
