• Windows Forms Deploying Files from Multiple projects

  I have a windows forms solutions with multiple projects that are built as class libraries...and a main winforms project...the class libraries have content files that are set to copy always and marked content. When using clickonce these files are not copied to the clickonce application. How do I copy these files in the published application without having to add the files manually to the main winforms project Thanks, rhorner While we did some testing to make sure that we picked up nested dependencies and references, we don't pick up nested content files. The way references work, these files aren't picked up by the project system either. As a result, the only solution is to add the files to ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Using Checkbox in a combo, or using Grids as combos?

  Hi; I need a class which will act like a combo, but will let the user select multiple items using a checkbox. Can this be achieved by using a combo I seem to remember reading somewhere that a grid can be utilized to act as a more advanced combo. Anyone can point me to the right direction Thank, Aleniko Depends on the number of records. If it is not too many then the native combo can do the trick with multi select turned on. If the number of records exceeds 100 or so then a grid (such as Marcias at www.tightlinecomputers.com ) OR Mike Lewis's SimpleList class works well. See http://www.ml-consult.co.uk/foxst-28.htm Mikes class is probably the easiest for simple selections, but Marcia ...Show All

  Hi all, i want to construct a custom work item editor with custom controls. I would also ike to reuse some of microsoft controls like the linkcontrol for example. i found the linkcontrol in the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Controls.dll assembly. Unfortunatly, i haven`t figure out ho to use it. If somebody could help me out, i would really appreciate.

Just thought I'd pass that along in case it helped you decide where to put your efforts. ...Show All

  I have a program that creates a cs file. I would like to access it's classes at runtime and create objects of it's classes and use them. How should I approach it.

• SQL Server DataFlow Task & Filters

  Hi, I am getting data from an external source. External data has a column called "Type". I have a variable in my package which contains the list of types as shown below: Filtered_type_List = 2,4,8,10,11 If this variable(Filtered_type_List) is blank, then I need all the data from the external source and if it is not blank then I only need the records matching to his list. How can I implement this in DataFlow Task Thanks You could do this in an expression. Something like: "SELECT * FROM MyTable " + (LEN(MySSISVariable) != 0 "WHERE MyColumn IN (" + MySSISVariable + ")" : "" ) That expression will (I think) add a WHERE clause if the length of the string inside the varia ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem with C# using XPathNavigator

Going to explain what the app is actually doing first.  I'm saving some file paths to an xml document.  It is pretty much like a config file.  I can successfully save folder paths.  If I try to save file paths, then for some reason it just doesn't write the info to the xml document(ex: C:\Windows\NOTEPAD.exe).  First I'm converting the string to unicode, then converting to Base64String, and saving. for ( int  x = 0; x < listBox1.Items.Count; x++) { filestring = Convert .ToBase64String( UnicodeEncoding .Unicode.GetBytes(listBox1.Items[x].Text)); } xnav.SetValue(filestring); //this i ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) x:Static works as element but not as attribute with statics from project?!?

  I'm running Vista RC1 and playing with x:Static in elements and attributes and noticed a behavior that I'm not sure if it is by design or not. Here's the minimal repro: Start with a Window and let's use a static from the system as its title, using attribute syntax. (The static can come from any referenced assembly in this case, just not from the assembly being compiled): < Window x:Class = " XamlTests.Window1 " xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " xmlns:s = " clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib " Title = " {x:Static Member=s:Environment.CommandLine} " > </ Window > ...Show All
