• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Databinding IValueConverter magic

  I have an XmlDocument that I have bound to my DataContext for a screen. Then I use xpath statements to extract the information from the document, on of the xml element's contains Base64 encoded image data or it can contain just textual data or it can contain a string that represents a WPF color like "Red" Is there a neat way to create a Converter that could return the appropriate type and have a DataTemplate for each type e.g. <DataTemplate DataType="BitmapImage"> <Image Source={Binding Path="/"/> </DataTemplate> <DataTemplate DataType="Color"> <Rectangle Height="25" Width="25" Fill={Binding Path="/"/> </DataTemplate> etc.... ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Install order?

  I'm getting ready to setup a test box for a proof of concept. Most likely it will be running 2003r2. When I look at the instructions for SQL Express, it says to make sure .net framework 2.0 IS installed. When I look at the instructions for Visual Web Developer Express, or Visual Basic Express (or any of the visual express packages) they specificly say to UNinstall any versions of .net framework that you have installed. Is the .net framework included with the visual express packages Can these products co-exist Whats the proper order to install them in If you look carefully you will see it mentions to uninstall any BETA/CTP versions of the .NET framework.

• Windows Forms Eh... You're not going to believe this...

  Okay, I saw on the front page of WindowsForms.Net: ".NET Framework 3.0 released!" At first glance I was very excited because this meant a preview at what development for Windows Vista and the new controls are. Well, hell, I go to create a new WPF Windows Application, (Vista ) from the Visual 2005 .NET 3.0 extensions and all it shows me is an XML/HTML looking code. So I run it without debugging and it pops up with a blank form. Okay now I am thinking, WHAT THE HELL. There is no designer view......................... Its like coding HTML...................YUK!!! Well, what can I say I am VERY disappointed in Microsoft for making this move, it is terrible. It is terrible for programmers and it is just plain stupid. If anyone else has the tim ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Delete WorkflowInstance from Database Tables

  I use one DB for Persistence and Tracking. This database therefore holds all workflows started. These workflow were started for different portals used by different clients. So if a client needs to be setup from scratch, I need to find the according workflows in the database and delete them. The other workflows (for the other clients) should stay untouched. Because of the amount of tables created (Persistence only uses 2 tables, Tracking about 20) I wanted to ask if someone knows how to do a task like this. The table "Workflow" holds the different workflows. Now I have a reference (WorkflowTypeId) which I can use to delete the instances. Am I correct Thanks To be honest: not really. I ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WS-AT problem: The MSDTC transaction manager's WS-AtomicTransaction protocol service is disabled

  Hello, I have a very strange problem with the WS-AT controller. I call a simple transactional WCF service once from a WCF client and once from a Java client. When called from the WCF client, everything works fine, but when called from the Java client, I get an exception with the message "The MSDTC transaction manager's WS-AtomicTransaction protocol service is disabled and cannot unmarshal incoming transactions." From the service trace log / service message log, I have the headers of the messages sent to the service both from the wcf client and the java client.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How can a Vista user(non-administrator) work with app that uses ports

  Hi All, I have an application in WinFX which when run on Vista fails for the below two reasons: 1. The application writes to the local disk 2. The application uses callbacks to the WCF service(uses ports) and the user is a non-administrator. Is there a way out to solve this, since the users of my application are not given administrator rights to the system. Thanks, Mahalax. Standard users have write access to quite a few locations on the local machine (their profile, new folders off the root of the OS drive for example).
