• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF & Thread.CurrentPrincipal

  In a method which is attached to the loaded event of a window I am setting the thread.currentPrincipal to a custom principal object which I manually create. If i try to access the same thread.currentPrincipal in a method which is attached to a button click event the thread.currentPrincipal in this click method is automatically set back to a generic principal. Why In retrospect if I set the thread.currentPrincipal to my custom principal in one button and access it from another button its fine and is never reset to a generic principal... Anyone have any idea whats going on Actually, you are encountering an intentional feature of WPF. The Dispatcher is the central pump that keeps things moving in the applic ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to communicate from Workflow Webservice to Console Workflow host?

  Hi, Newbie question ... I am trying to write a solution that has a console application hosting the workflow runtime, and exposes a webservice, which, when called, creates a new instance of a long-running workflow, to be added to the runtime running in the console app. (the webservice is running on the same machine as the console app) I have created and exposed the webservice without a problem. However, I don't understand how to get access to the workflow runtime running on the console in order to create the new instance for the new long-running workflow. I'm SURE it's a dumb question with a REALLY simple answer, but any advice would be gratefully received. Cheers folks. Once you have expo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Trouble getting Started...

  Hi all... I am trying to create my first report that accepts parameters and I'm following the tutorials provided. My problem started after adding the CrystalReportViewer object. The tutorial says to check View >> Other Windows >> Object Browser to see if the ConfigureCrystalReports() method was automatically added. First, I don't have the menu option Object Browser ANYWHERE, second that method was not added. When I create the method manually and add the code they provide nothing works. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition, so I know that this should work. Any suggestions Don't worry, there must be a mistake because I don't have that option too but I followed the tutorial and it w ...Show All

• .NET Development How to Find Yesterday's date

  Hi, I have a need to find yesterday's date. A datasource our app needs requires us to FTP a file from a remote server to the location where it is processed. The naming convention used on the file is filename.Mddyyyy . (filename.8242006, for example). The filename is constant. The catch is the file is created at 10PM and not made available until 2AM, so just doing a straight ToString() on "today's" date won't work because it will always be the "next" day : string date; date = thisDate.ToString( "Mddyyyy" , DateTimeFormatInfo .InvariantInfo); We use the filename.Mddyyyy to tell our FTP service which file to download. I've got to use yesterday's date to FTP the correct file. Any idea how to do ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UserControls in the same project

  I'm using the RTM of WPF but still don't have a clear understanding of how to access usercontrols withing the same project in Xaml. Is there a way to do this or not I've been getting by with instantiating the controls in code behind, but I noticed that the release note whick explicitly states this is a bug is now gone in RTM. What exactly in the syntax for doing this ! ! No. The tools for Visual Studio are still CTP, even though the framework is RTP. We apparently will not be getting another version of "Cider" for VS 2005 either... it will be for the next version. ...Show All

  Hi, To bind the parameters in the web test to a select statement.I have used web test plug in and am making connection to the SQL Server.

• Audio and Video Development How to play 2 or more clips in one title

  Hi, All! I want to convert my standard DVD into HD-DVD. I see that I can rename my *.vob files to *.avi and create XPL with corresponded Title sections. It works (in iHDSim)...But I need to have only one title (main movie title divided on several VOBs on standardDVD). I want save chapters timestamps also - without recalculation. Is it possible Thanks. You can combine multiple EVOBs into a single title in HD DVD by simply listing them one after the other as PrimaryAudioVideoClip elements. You add chapter marks to the title as part of your XML Playlist. I do not know of an easy / automated way to convert from SD to HD. ...Show All
