Best wishes, Andy It's only a good idea if you're having some problem with your existing version. They should be binary compatible so I don't think it would be a risk updating to them. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't get collection derived from CollectionBase to work

  I'm stumped. I've got a class inheriting from CollectionBase. The element class is marked as Serializable, as is the collection class inheriting from CollectionBase. I've got the Add method and indexer implemented, but the damn thing still barfs when trying to pass it over the wire via WCF. What's really weird is I cannot get a more defining error from WCF than System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: The socket connection was aborted... blah blah. Useless for figuring out what is really wrong. I'm dying here. Any help Oh, one more thing: if I pass an empty collection, it works. It only throws up when the collection actually has an element in it. Sure, here's the code. First up, the element class, d ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Routed Events & ScrollViewer

  Why ScrollViewer blocks routed events (MouseDown in particular) A have the following hierarchy: Grid A -- ScrollViewer ----Grid B When I click on Grid A, Grid B doesn't receive that event notification. Once I take off ScrollViewer in the middle, everything starts working... Another strange for me thing is: if I put a Label on top of Grid A an click on it, rather than on Grid A, Grid B does receive a notification event with a ScrollViewer in middle!! :) Can anyone suggest on the solution   Thanks The actual label was added directly to the grid B bypassing SV, that's why it did translate the events.. As of the rest I'm still confused. Thanks ...Show All
