• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Glyphs.FontUri and installed font files

  Hi, Is there an easy way to retrieve the font file for a particular font, so it can be passed to Glyphs.FontUri Specifying the filename (e.g. "c:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf") is works but doesn't seem very future-proof. Thx Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. The application is a 3D surface chart using ViewPort3D. I want to paint the axis numbering on the axis-planes of the graph. The best way I could see to do text like this was create a GlyphRunDrawing, wrap it in a DrawingBrush and apply that to a material. The GlyphRunDrawing object requires a System.Windows.Documents.Glyphs object to supply the font definition and text, with the font face specified by Glyphs.FontUri. Specifying the fo ...Show All

• Visual Basic restarting aborted threads.

  is there any way to restart a thread that has been aborted I've coded all my work to be done in a thread in the background to keep my gui responsive so basicly a button click starts the thread with thread.start() and another button click cancels it with thread.abort() however when I try to run the thread a second time I get an exception stating that I can't restart an aborted thread is there any way around this Abort is not for logic flow, it is for exceptional circumstances.

• Visual Studio Invalid argument for database

  Hi, I have a report that is connecting to two different databases and retrieving data from a stored procedure in each. My problem is that when I try and set the destination of the database at runtime, I get the following error: Invalid Argument provided. Failed to open a rowset. Error in File C:\DOCUME~1\JAMES\LOCALS~1\Temp\temp_{5E8F9D66-6EFF-47E9-96F7-65D32A761DCC}.rpt: Invalid argument for database I have other reports connecting to the two databases and I am setting their destination at runtime with no problems.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cascading Deletes

  Folks, I've read elsewhere in this forum that retrievals of associated objects must be done explicitly by invoking Load() on the association. Is the same true for deletes Are deletes cascaded If they're not, I would expect to be able to override the implementation of an Entity's Delete() method. I'm using the August CTP. Entity.Delete() is a concrete method. I would have to shadow the implementation of Delete() with a new implementation of Delete() in my entity classes in order to cascade the invocation of Delete() on an aggregate root to members of the aggregate. If cascading deletes is already there, how does it work If cascading deletes is going to be done explicitly as the retrieves are, will the Delete() method on Entity be made vi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Best way to prevent event proc from running multiple times.

  Hi all, What is the best way to prevent for example a button click event procedure from executing multiple times. Sometimes, users sit there clicking the button multiple times while the procedure is running. Then the procedure wants to run for each time the user clicked the button. Before I implement something, I want to make sure that the way I do it is the simplest yet most effective way. Thanks in advance, -Andy you could just disable the button then reenable it once the procedure has finished executing or display a "please wait...." message also. It depends on what you mean by procedure. If you mean running a process outside your application (calling 3rd party app) then you can wait for the exit of that p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Managing documents from Custom Task Pane

  I have been experimenting with VSTO 2005 SE and Office 2007 and would appreciate if someone could help me with the following: I would like to open different documents using a custom task pane and switch between these documents. I can create and open the first document. When it comes to the second document, it gets created on a different window (where my custom task pane is not visible). From the immediate window in the document VBA I can easily switch to another windows via Application.WIndows(index).Activate command. However I can't achieve the same result through the Add-In. Furthermore, the second document does not respond to the Ribbon button that toggles its display. How can I programmatically switch to the sec ...Show All
