• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hard to do exact positioning.

  I've just learned the basics of WPF and XAML but I find it very hard to do exact positioning in my programs. I've found out that you can use a Canvas and then use the item .SetValue( Canvas .LeftProperty, double); -function to place things, but thats a real hassle. Adding another canvas inside a canvas with exact layout doesn't work at all. I'm looking for the easiest way to place things X% from the left (relative from the usercontrols left edge, not the windows) with a width of Y%, i want my programs to work in fullscreen on all resolutions. Could you please give an example of how to animate a percentual ColumnDefinition Width. I had a similar problem like the OP and never managed to get anim ...Show All

• Visual C++ Remove a given value from a list

  Hello all: Is this solution correct void remove(Node **node, int v) { while (*node) { if ((*node)->value = v) { Node *tmp = *node; *node = (*node)->next; free(tmp); } else node = &(*node)->next; } } If this code is correct, I have the following question: why can we just free(tmp) without making the collection between the previous node of tmp with the node after tmp Thank you " If you don't connect the node before the tmp with the node after tmp, you will break the linked-list." Correct. "NodeA(2) -> NULL NodeC(5) -> NULL" That happens if you set (*node) to NULL. If you don't set ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build & WAP - Only drops DLL-files, not any of the content - bug or by design?

  I finally got my WAP to be successfully built as a Team Build (which got references to files in another Team Project, so I had to mess around in TFSBuild.proj). But in the Drop folder I only got a Folder called Release with the binaries (the DLL files). What happened to all content files Aspx, ascx, jpg, gif, folders and so on A quote by ScottGu from 17 april 2006: "Yep -- we will support team build . There is an issue with the current RC with team build not copying content files." This sounds like WAP would support Team Build in version 1.0. If not.... how should I get the content files in the drop folder WDP is unfortunely not an option. My conclusion is this: -Team Build only produces the DLL-files. -Team Build does n ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting objects with events using TCP protocol in C++

  Hi I wrote a simple server application which remotes an object. The client application can register its own events to receive notifications from the server when the object status changes. Everything works fine while using the http protocol. But I get the follwing error firing events in the server if I switch to tcp protocol This remoting proxy has no channel sink which means either the server has no registered server channels that are listening, or this application has no suitable client channel to talk to the server. Is it possibile to remote objects with events using TCP protocol Following the configuration files for the server and client Server <configuration> <system.runtime.remoting> <application> <chann ...Show All

• SQL Server A Connection cannot be made

  Hello I try to build my cube on localhost by VS2005, while the data source is on the other machine. When I deploy the cube, it gives me the following error msg: The project could not be deployed to the 'localhost' server because of the following connectivity problems: A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. To verify or update the name of the target server, right-click on the project in Solution Explorer, select Project Properties, click on the Deployment tab, and then enter the name of the server. I tried to fix it by following the instruction, but it does not work. I think my target server should be localhost, since my cube is built on the localhost, is it right And I check my MS SQL ser ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Forced Proxies in MSN Messenger

  ok, i found it apropriate to post here that msn can no longer have forced proxies, would it be posible to reintroduce forced proxies because they are one of the most powerfull forms of making an addon I found a way to force MSN messenger to use your own HTTP proxy server, without any programming: Go download a tool that is called "Simp Lite-MSN". It dedicates to block MSN's direct TCP connection and force MSN to use its specific Socks4 Proxy server to encrypt the in-out text of MSN. So, after you install it, use a HEX editor to open 'Simp Lite-MSN''s launch EXE program, search the string 'SOCK4Server', change it into 'HTTPProxy". This prevents 'Simp Lite' from setting up it ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Not amused about the current Cider usability

  Hi everybody Now as Framework 3.0 was released I was full of hope, that the FormsDesigner Cyder has also make a big step for better usability. So I installed it this week on my maschine, in hope we can start with full power to design Windows and controls for our new application. But what I see on my "try & error" tour is not really funny : Disappearing "InitializeComponent" Method while building custom WPF Controls "Error 2 Name 'InitializeComponent' is not declared." Assembly '' was not found Error Error    2    Assembly '' was not found. The 'clr-namespace' URI refers to an assembly that is not referenced by the project. The FormsDesigner is not really handy. ...Show All

• Visual C# Kill a Thread in a Threadpool, how do you do it?

It will take time for all this rich stuff to settle down in my head. One comment: Why not just return from runWordCollection In some way it is a business decision. I feel sort of better that a thread is dealt with and the CLR knows that it is not needed anymore. Otherwise time may be wasted for GC to figure it out. Also perhap ...Show All
