• Gadgets Overlapping transparent PNGs

  Hi, The gadget I am creating is using a transparent png for the body background. On top of that, I want to put transparent numbers on top of it, but I keep getting a pink outline around the numbers. Is there anyway to get around this It looks fine in Mozilla. :( Thanks! You need to use g:background and add text/images to it. For text use addTextObject (see this thread). And for images, use addImageObject (see this thread). ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Images with raw pixelsize, not DPI-relative.

  How do i display an image in it's real pixelsize If you just add an image in xaml it will be resized to the image's DPI / the screen's DPI or something like that. The best would be if there's some kind of global property so no images in my app will be resized, but a simple property for the Image will also work fine. It can definitely be done, but there isn't a simple property that does this for you. In designing WPF, we felt it was important to help applications move forward in terms of DPI-awareness. Apps could be high-DPI aware using GDI or DX for many releases of the OS already, but those APIs make it the default experience that apps are not high-DPI aware. With extra work, you can take DPI into acc ...Show All

• Visual Basic Object Test Bench

  in VS2005 Standard, when I right click a class in class view, select create instance, and say OK, I get "create instance failed", with details = 0x80004005. I've tried this with several different classes...which have warnings but no compile errors, and which I don't think are "generic" (because I don't know what that is and didn't try to make them that.) Any suggestions Thanks! The Object Test Bench is available in Standard (I have standard, and I have Object Test Bench). The only thing mentioned as being only available to Professional and Enterprise is the Class Designer.

• .NET Development Check to see if IpcServer exists

  I have an app that uses Ipc to communicate between instances of the same program. Everything works fine unless two instances are opened in very quick succession. The first would be the one that is supposed to create the server while the second would recognize one has already started and send an appropriate message to the first. However, the code to realize there is another instance running and send a message is shorter than the code that creates the server so the second instance tries to send a message to the server before the server exists. This throws a Remoting Exception. Is there any way to see if the server is running before I try to send it a message I was not able to find that property on my IpcServ ...Show All

Please suggest. Regards, Sudhir Chawla Actually, When you create table and add columns, at that time there is a "DESCRIPTION" field, where we can specify the comments for that column. So how do I include these column level comments to be present in my script. I can add my own comments using -- or /* adjkasjd */, but I wish to include column level comments in my script.
