• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) FlowDocument Replace Paragraph

  Hi,   I am trying to replace Paragraph in one FlowDocument with the paragraph in another one. We have 2 FlowDocuments. What I want to do is replace the Paragraph "X" from fd1 with Paragraph "Y" from fd2. I tried finding the paragraph "X" in fd1, which is attached to RichTextBox and then assign ref of "Y" to it, but it doesnt like it, as I can see no changes. Do let me know hw it could be achieved. Code is as belwo Paragraph paraX = ( this .rtbTask.Document as FlowDocument ).FindName( "X" ) as Paragraph ; string fn = "c:\\FlowDocument1.xaml" ; XmlReader xr = XmlReader .Create(fn); FlowDocument fd2 = XamlReader .Load(xr) as FlowDocument ; Paragraph paraY = fd.FindNa ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Don't Forget MARS

  If you are triyng to do lazy loading direclty with the objects, you'll get an error when you try to load children cust.Orders.Load You'll need to edit the connection string to turn MARS on MultipleActiveResultSets=true Note - I have only tested scenarios with direct object context access, not queries, so I am not saying you have to do this with queries (yet) But I have to bolt, so thought I'd put this here. The key thing to remember is that while you are enumerating the objects that result from a query there is a DataReader open streaming those results from the DB. If you call .Load on a collection while you still have that DataReader open, then we will need to execute another query which mean ...Show All

• Visual C++ CreateProcess starting 16-bit Windows program problem

  I am calling CreateProcess on a 16-bit Windows program, followed by WaitForSingleObject on the process ID with a timeout value. The 16-bit Windows program shows up in the Task Manager but never shows its initial screen until after the timeout occurs and I put up a MessageBox in my parent process asking the user if I should continue waiting for the child process to finish executing. If I double-click the 16-bit Windows program from Explorer the program puts out its initial screen immediately. Does anybody have any idea what I have to do, without putting up a MessagBox in the parent process, to get the 16-bit Windows program to execute and put out its initial screen immediately. This appears to be a common ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to stop vs 2005 publishing vssver2.scc!

  How does one stop vs 2005 publishing the hidden system file vssver2.scc! Is this just broken, or is there a work around to stop vs 2005 spublishing this unwanted file.. Thanks. For those that have this problem, the following may help.. a) disregard the waffle in this tthread which si oof the point.. b) The probem is caused by vs 2005 WAP. c) This is not fixed in SP1. d) The problem is not likely to be fixed because 1. The VSS team dont see it as their problem, the vs stidio team dont see it as their problem, and 3. Knowbody owns WAP problems anyway.. Hence I suggest that you run a post script after publish to manually delete all the vssver2 stuff which only the VSS team knows ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Alpha Blending (deferred)?

  Is there a way using the sprite batch object that you can render several rectangles, but when alpha blended, it looks like the entire object was rendered first as a single opaque image, and then that image was alpha blended, such that you would never have known it was several smaller pieces assembling the final object Instead of normally seeing each rectangle blended as it overlays another rectangle. Do you think this is fast enough to be usable for GUIs where each frame would be its own render target This is a situation where you're talking about a new texture every new frame rendered. (at least if something on the GUI changed). Do you think they would be fast enough Or are they are fairly costly thing ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Best way to store variable data

  I am currently trying to write my first application not detailed in a tutorial or book, and I am having a problem determining the best way to store variable information. My application tracks flower arrangement and pricing. There are about 16 main arrangements, and within these arrangements there are anywhere from 6 to 25 different flowers that can be chosen in different quantities.

• Visual Basic optimise the project -> Exe finally

  What a are the steps to optimize the project so that it should be lightweighted [PE file] Thanks in advance.... well remove any duplicate code, make sure you are doing things efficiently and not creating your own way of doing things if the .NET Framework has a class that does it for you, or a combination of classes. Make sure that you are not P/Invoking as much as this can degrade performance and generally the functions are "managed" in the .NET Framework classes. Take advantage of using SQL Server stored procedures if your application is dealing with SQL Server and only open the connection when you need to as connections to databases, and executing queries etc... is expensive so be sure that you are not constantly open ...Show All
