Visual C# Docking problem
Hi, I've got a mdi form with a toolstrippanel(+toolstrip) left and one on the right. I've also got a panel between the toolstrips. I want it to dock(fill) it, but when I do this, the panel is filled also behind the toolstrippanel instead of only between the toolstrips. Anybody how to solve this The containers of the toolstrips (any panel or whatever) should have the same z-index with the panel you want to be displayed in between. May be you are setting the dock property of the wrong containers. First select the toolstripcontainers dock property to right and left then insert a new panel on the form. After that if you set the dock (fill) property of the panel it should be in between the toolstrip con ...Show All
Visual C# Customize Solution Explorer context menu
I'm probably being dense, but I can't find how to customize the context menu for Project items in the Solution Explorer. It's got a whole bunch of SQL Server stuff I don't want in it ("New Mining Structure", "New Cube", I mean, wtf ) which is making it necessary to scroll to get to "Properties", and it's driving me MAD. Any help getting rid of these SQL items would be deeply appreciated. And, hello, people who designed this in the first place Ever heard of sub-menus Seriously. Mark, I posted a walkthrough of customizing the context menus in VS on my blog a bit ago ( http://blogs.msdn.com/ansonh/archive/2005/12/09/502020.aspx ). It should be the same steps in this case, except that you'll want to c ...Show All

hi, how can i realize animations on multiple rectangles within the same event. I want to define this within a style in my XAML. My idea is, if a certain event takes place, multiple animations on different rectangles will be started. i tried the following: < ControlTemplate.Triggers > < EventTrigger RoutedEvent = " Button.MouseEnter " > < EventTrigger.Actions > < BeginStoryboard > < Storyboard > < ObjectAnimationUsingKeyFrames Duration = " 0:0:0 " Storyboard.TargetName = "rect _Normal " Storyboard.TargetProperty = " (Rectangle.Visibility) " > < DiscreteObjectKeyFrame KeyTime = " 0:0:0 ...Show All
Visual Studio Express Editions Problems downloading Visual Basic/Visual C++
I recently restarted my system, which had visual basic 2005 express edition, and i downloaded it with no problems. However, when i restarted the system and tried to download Visual Basic or Visual C++(from http://download.microsoft.com/download/C/E/3/CE3EB81B-12FE-4503-A566-0E0F49E4A5ED/vbsetup.exe ), nothing happens.

I have internet explorer 7 beta 3, and i downgraded to 6 and temporarily disabled pop-up blockers and firewalls, but it still didnt work. What could be the problem ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) select in IEnumerable<>
Hi, is there a way to do similar: var userStates = from u in db.Users where u.UserID in (1,2,3) select new UserState {u.UserID, u.FlStateID }; the list (1,2,3) is an IEnumerable, IList or more general a "not in db"-collection. there are ways to join for sure but the performance is unusable. The join actually is not calculated in the db. thx, Jorg Blaumeiser The current bits do not allow that syntax. As you stated, you could do it as a join on the client side, but I understand the performance implications. The issue has been brought up and the team stated that they would take a look at it. You may wish to check the archives for more information. ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Need guidance for a STS implementation
Greetings, I am quite new to WCF, and i would like some advices about how to implement a STS. I need a STS which will issue SAML tokens based on user credentials (Username and password). I think it is pretty standard but if there is a STS SAML QuickStart in WSE3, there is none for WCF. I am still trying to figure out what is the closest sample available out there from which i could start. I don't want to use InfoCard as my services clients are Web site applications, and i am using the Jan CTP version. I have seen a Federation sample in the SDK which is using a certificate to authenticate users and also i have seen that MS released the "Federated Identity and Access resource kit" in september.

Visual Basic Datagridview binding
Can I bind a populated datagridview control to a datatable In other words the datatable will contain the dgv's contents. design_omega, 'When its form loads, the program makes a DataTable object and adds some columns to it.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Easiest way to create a laser effect for a board game conversion?
Just as the subject says, I have a couple of projects in the works where I need a laser effect for board units. One thing that I'll need to do is have it reflect off of objects. If anyone have any suggestions/ideas I'd greatly appreciate it. Assuming you already know where you want to draw your lines and are just looking for suggestions as to how to draw them - you could draw the line segments using rotated and scaled sprites. Use a texture that is 1 pixel high and a small number wide (say 16 or 32, depends on how wide you want your beam), the texture should contain a profile of your beam (perhaps a gradiant in the alpha channel). Then use a bit of trigonometry to convert the line start and end points into angle and distance and ...Show All
