• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Dynamic XAML

  Hi, Have played around with the WPF/E plugin and static XAML for a while now. But what I really want to do is to generate dynamic XAML on the server with WPF and push it to the client side. What do I need installed for such a scenario and are there any good examples on how to generate dynamic serverside XAML for the WPF/E plugin Tim Hi Shawn and thanks for your answer. I've had similar thoughts but the idea of working with strings on the server instead of real WPF objects isn't really very attractive. A compromise would be to work with pure XML but for complicated graphics (mostly paths, lines, ellipses) a true object model would make it much more clean. Of course one could create custom ...Show All

• Visual Studio Remove .NET Language Pack

  Hi Having automatic Windows Update turned on (which I changed after this experience) the .NET Language Pack (German) was installed on my machine and after that half of my VS is german, the other half is english. More than that the german translations are more confusing than helpful. Is there a way to switch back to having everything in english without re-installing VS completely. I have tried to uninstall the language pack - no change. Thanks Alex If you refer to VS, you can go to the Tools, Options menu, Environment, International Settings node and change the language of VS. If that fails you can try to delete the German resources of VS (backup them), close all VS instances, open a VS DOS ...Show All

• SQL Server Sequential UPDATEs to a single row from XMLDOC only UPDATEs the first XPATH queried element found...

  It appears that we may have fallen foul to the msxml change under the covers between SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 here. The functionality that we would expect is that we can UPDATE one row in a TABLE multiple times based on the number of XML elements found in the XPATH Query. This worked in SQL 2000, but seems to only UPDATE the first element found in SQL 2005. In Easy Speak: 5 elements in xml doc 1 row in table is updated by the first xml element found The same row in table is now updated by the second xml element found The same row in table is now updated by the third xml element found .... and so on until all xpath queried elements are done... In SQL: CREATE TABLE #debug ( id int, col1 int, col2 int, col3 int, col4 int, col5 int) DECL ...Show All

• Windows Forms Change field-Values in Edit-Mode

  Hi, I try to implement "What-if"-scenarios in a gridview in its edit-mode - which means, one should edit a value in a column and instead of updating that one in the database I would like to adapt the other ones. E.g. column1 shows '1', column2 '2' and column3 the sum of these -> '3'. If the user changes the value in column1 to '3' and clicks 'Update', column3 should be adapted to the sum again -> '4'. My approach just to change a fields' value (to set the value to e.g. "100"): Protected Sub GridView_OutOfStock_RowUpdating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewUpdateEventArgs) Handles GridView_OutOfStock.RowUpdating Dim  value As Int16 Dim row As GridViewRow = GridView_OutOfStock.Rows(e. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Automatically add classes

  Is it possible to automatically add an existing class when creating a new project I have a bitmap font class that will be used in every project and I don't want to have to go through the hastle of adding it every time. The best way to do that (either with your class as part of the project or your class an attached dll to the project) is to create a new project. template. To create a project template, get a project base looking how you want it to look with all the class and dlls you think you will always want for future game projects. Then once you are doing creating that project, click on the "File" menu and select "Export Template". This will open up the template export wizard. Walking ...Show All

  While trying to install >NET Framework 3.0 I got several errors: 1) NGEN.exe -- Entry point could not be found: "The procedure entry point CorGetSvc could not be located in the dynamic link library mscoree.dll" 2) Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: "Programs: C:\Documents a...

• Smart Device Development breakpoint issues

  I had this before and resolved it but cannot seem to resolve this one. I upgraded a .NET CF 1.0 project to .NET CF 2.0 (C#) and all seems ok. The thing is, everytime I place a debug breakpoint on any part of the code, it never gets hit and I Get the "the breakpoint will currently not be hit" etc..... Any ideas I know there have been posts here before but I pretty much tried most of them and didn't seem to help me unfortunately. Wondering if I should start a new project (big project) I also did create a new blank project and re-added all the files but that didn't seem to help at all unfortunately I had a similar issue but in C#2005 web project, turns out that SQL Debugging was broken for some reason (and was causing co ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sending an Event

  Hi folks, I'm just curious to know how i can send an Event to my own Form In particular, I'd like to send the Focus | Leave Event for a textBox control, even though that Event may not have actually occurred. A better question is what will fire this event Do you want a timer or the user presses a button to start the process Or is this something outside the actual program.... If it is within the program such as a button press, or a timer, one doesn't have to actually send the event , just call the OnFocus( ) method directly and place nulls/nothings into the arguments. Unless of course the arguments are used by the method then fill them in appropriately. Note if it is in a timer and one is doing screen up ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro a newbie's question: how to mark columns in 2 databases with same values

  Guys, I'm a newbie of foxpro and I'm bad in English. I'm using Visual Foxpro6.0. Now I have two databases A and B with three same fields: id, lac, cell. I want to mark the the columns in these 2 databases with the same values of id, lac, cell. What's the command to do that Thanks a lot.   Alen Add a Field to the second table called "flag". UPDATE table1 SET MARK='Y' WHERE id+lac+cell IN (SELECT id+lac+cell FROM table2) I think this is what you are looking for… But I don’t see how this makes it easier for “Next time”.

• SQL Server Reporting Services custom authentication and web reportviewer - familiar question

  This is a subject that has been brought up before but I have not seen a definitive answer/solution. We have implemented a custom authentication extension (forms authentication) for reporting services and it has been working just fine under "normal" conditions; "normal" being users logging in, viewing reports, and then moving on. Recently some reports were created by our report group and they contain Dundas gauge controls for "dashboard" style reports. These reports are meant to be up all day and they post back every few seconds because the data they present is mission critical. This of course exposed the inability of the reportviewer control to stay in the context of Report Manager when it comes to the cookie ...Show All

• Visual Basic Checking a web page for specific value in VB.NET

  I am most confused on the requirements for looking at a web page for a certain value. I do know the coordinates of the information and the possible values that can appear at the spot. My question is: what avenues show I be exploring in order to retrieve a value from a different window (in this case, a web page). Provided the window is active, visable, and I have the handle to it.
