• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListView, I would like somthing like SelectionMode.None ?

  I know it’s a little odd. But is there a way to make the ListView “readonly”. I was thinking something in the line of: ListView1.SelectionMode = SelectionMode.None; I know I could just ignore the SelectionChanged event. But the problem is that the styling shows that an item is selected. Best regards,   Thomas S. Andersen   BTW, as a workaround I'm using this at the moment: ListView1.SelectionChanged += delegate ( object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) {     (sender as List View ).SelectedItem = null ; };   Drew: I can’t change the style, because our application will support (runtime loaded) customer styling. But thanks for the xaml paste, it ...Show All

• Visual Studio Retreive Project location

  Is there a way to retrieve the location entered by the user when creating a new project similar to $safeprojectname$ ie File > New Project Or will I have to use EnvDTE to determine the path of the project Kosmo Hi Kosmo, IDictionaryService is used to access recipe arguments. In this case "LocalDirectoy" is not really an argument in your recipe but a VS expansion macro. If what you need is a recipe argument containing the path to the created solution then it looks like you should code a ValueProvider for this. We've have one in the Clarius SFT called "SolutionPathProvider" that does just this. The code for it very basic: public class SolutionPathProvider : ValueProviderBase ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Hotkey assignment

  I asked this question before, but it was somewhat hidden into another post of mine, so perhaps it wasn't noticed. The default hotkey in WDS 3.0 is Ctrl-Alt-M. In the previous version there was an option to redefine the hotkey. Are there any plans to re-instate that option I've seen there's still a registry key called 'Hotkey'. If I only knew how to set it ;) Thanks! Add my vote for a way to override the hotkey. The WDS 2.0 way was very usable; using Windows Key +S was my favorite. Tim ...Show All

• .NET Development Connection String problem with MSDAORA.1

  Hi. I have two connection strings for my application, one using Microsoft ODBC Driver for oracle, and another using Oracle ODBC Driver. I am getting "Object not found error( ASP)" when I use MSDAORA.1. I am using oracle 8i. Thanks. Sandeep Chanda wrote: Hi Paul, Its every line which has a CreateObject call. I'm sorry but that isn't enough information. What object are you trying to create Code would help. In any event, if this can't be resolved in the next response or so I think you're going to have to follow David's suggestion since this isn't really a .NET question. As much as I would like to help you resolve the issue I'd rather not continue to breach the forum etiquette. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Update UI Thread from Background Thread - Control.Dispatcher

  Hello All, Using the following delegate, and attempting to update the UI. There is no clear examples on how to pass multiple parameters though to the dispatcher. I keep receiving an exception (shown below). The code works if you invoke a method that only has one parameter, however it should work with multiple parameters. Maybe I am missing something simple. -------------- CODE FOLLOWS -------------- Public Delegate Sub MemberChatDelegate(ByVal member As String, ByVal msg As String) Public Sub UpdateChat(ByVal member As String, ByVal msg As String) ' Update UI Code here If Me.Dispatcher.CheckAccess Then ' Update UI Code Else Me.Dispatcher.Invoke(Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Normal, New MemberChatDelegate(AddressOf UpdateCha ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Need a Push in the Right Direction

  Greetings, I am not an expert game developer, but a hobbyist trying out XNA. I want to ask a graphical design question to the community as the best way to accomplish my task. What would be the ideal solution to my scenario Let’s say I have a cylinder or torus like object and the faces are textured with different materials so there are blocks of different patterns. I guess kind of like an Araknoid grid with the different colored blocks. I want to be able to destroy and remove blocks of this mesh object in the game. Should I make a "block" object and try to put a whole bunch of them together like Legos in an array and remove the object from the array if it is collided with I guess if I have one of these "blo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions form deactivates when using messagebox why? & how to work around this?

  Hello, I am new to VB Express and programming. I am making a single form application and I am using the form deactivate event to signal when a user switches to another application. The trouble I am having is that when control is passed to a messagebox from within my application, the form deactivate event is triggered. Is there another event that I can use that won't trigger when a messagebox is activated but will trigger if my application loses focus or is there a way to to use the "if then" to bypass the code in the "private sub form deactivate" if control is only passing to a message box e.g. if messagebox(has focus) then dont do anything thank for any help. ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL server connection error and cliconfg

  Hi Folks; I had a problem with connecting to an SQL server remotely: ConnectionOpen(CreateFile()). Client unable to establish connection I then tracked the problem down to named pipes. I found a solution in cliconfg by changing the network protocol to TCP/IP however this is not satisfactory as the problem exists with dozens of computers and the lab administrator doesn't want to have to run this on ever single system. I made another attempt on the SQL server end by running SQL Server Configuration Manager for SQL Server 2005. I enabled "Named Pipes" and restarted the service. Unfortunately this did not resolve the situation. So is there something else I can do on the SQL server end or is there a command-line paramter f ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development how to test Markup

  I want to test all the display elements and attributes defined for the markup in the spec. So i would like to verify the behaviour of each element and its attribute by verifying its expected behaviour in the screen (i.e the UI). Since the total number of style attributes for each display element are large in number. I would like to test the behaviour of say first 10 attributes and then capture the UI (of the markup)as a bitmap. Load next markup and run the next 10 atributes and proceed to capture the UI as a bitmap. Then i can study each bitmap for checking the correctness of elements and attributes. So my doubt is - In the above manner is it posssible to test all the attributes in a single stretch. If this is not possible. Is the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System HELP: Accidently deleted an important project and I need it back!

  [Originally posted under Version Control but it was suggested I ask this over here because I might have a permission issue.] Hi all, Here is the deal. I was attempting to move a project in TeamSystem to another project. I had everything checked in and I had a copy on my hard drive. I deleted the project with TFSDeleteProject.exe and then went to create a new one but when I set up my new Workspace and started to add my source I found my source was no longer on my drive. Ok. So I started to freak because this was approx 3 months work for me. We have nightly backups but I had left the backup to my systems team and they only backed up the databases. So I created a new install of TeamSystem on another machine and restored the databa ...Show All
