• Windows Forms DataGridView and TabControl bug?

  I've come across some odd behavior involving DataGridView controls and TabControls. Have I stumbled across a bug, or is there something I don't understand about these controls My app uses a TabControl with five TabPages. Each TabPage has its own DataGridView, which I bind to DataTables in the main window's FormLoad event. I  set the HeaderText property of each column of the DataGridViews at run time, because I don't know in advance what the columns will be. I get the header text from the DataColumn Caption properties in my DataTable. Data binding works fine on all grids, as do other properties, such as caption alignment for the DataGridViewColumns. But the HeaderText assignment only works for the grid on the first TabP ...Show All

• .NET Development Namespace prefix " SOAP-ENV" not defined

  I am working on an application that is getting the above error (Namespace prefix " SOAP-ENV" not defined) on an intermittent and non-reproducible basis. The application is trying to obtain data from an external source through web service proxy code generated from WSDL obtained from the service provider. The code may run several (non-specific amount) times successfully and then fail. Or it may fail the first time after a rebuild and then if executed again right after the failure, will work fine. Any ideas what is cousing this Mike We'll need a little more information to diagnose this. Do know what web services platform the service is running Do you have any message traces from t ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bug in texture content importer (alpha generation)

  It appears that a texture will be made chroma-keyed, even if you don't select the chroma-keyed texture processor. When importing a pre-saved DDS from Photoshop, pure magenta color turns to black (which in DXT1 can mean alpha), even when using the plain "texture (mipmapped)" processor. Bug filed at: https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=237899&SiteID=226 First of all: Chroma keying is an evil, that shouldn't happen at all. It is very ill defined in the case of filtering. If you want alpha, you should author alpha in the first place. I can see how you might use it in 2D sprites, just because of inertia, but having it turned on for model textures is just a Really Bad Idea. Second: If I ad ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista InstallLocation in registry uninstall information is not being written when using VS2005 Deployment Project

  Per Vista test case 19 of Vista Logo Certifications, HKLM\Software\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{ProductCode}\InstallLocation can not be null. I am using a simple Setup and Deployment project in VS 2005, and I dont see any option to make that happen. I would have suspected that it would do it by itself. Use msitran.exe (from the Windows SDK) to apply the transform. So, the whole process is: - Open your msi in Orca. - Select Transform/New Transform - Create new row in CustomAction table: (Action) (Type) (Source) (Target) SetLocation 51 ARPINSTALLLOCATION [TARGETDIR] then add a new row to the InstallExecuteSequence table: (Action) (Condi ...Show All

• Visual Basic a program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected

  If I add a custom action to run a console application during setup, I get this error: There is a problem with this Windows Installer package: A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. How can I successfully get a console application to run during my product's setup Hi, BobishKindaGuy, "Managed" custom actions (that is, custom actions written using managed languages such as VB.Net or C#) are problematic. Windows Installer prefers native DLLs, a native EXE, JScript, or VBScript. For more details on this, use your favorite search engine on "managed customer actions" (there are some pointers online for how people have gotten this to work) and also check o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO SE, Vista RC2, Caspol, Oh My

  Hello, I've been playing with my VSTO 2005 SE Outlook addin under Vista RC2 using Office 2007 B2TR and the VSTO 2005 SE beta loader (I also run around a lot with scissors) My first issue has been with the installer. I get a 'Error: 2869' that requires my users to go and either turn off UAC (can you imagine!) or run the MSI with 'Run as Administrator'. Obviously I don't like this and would feel bad for lots of good reasons. What seems to fail is some custom action [RunInstaller] code that allocates the .NET Security Policy around my wee Add-in assembly. This code seems to work fine under XP before. I had a look at how the VSTO Team recommends doing it and saw the tutorial/examples of SetSecurity/CaspolSecurityPolicyCreator. I ...Show All
