• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Slider.Value and MethodParameter : type not supported

  I installed the RC1 bits and get an error on my XAML code :  Property 'Value' does not support values of type 'Double'.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office MAPI - Proper use of IMessage SaveChanges() flags?

  I've read the MSDN docs for IMessage SaveChanges() method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/mapi... and it says you use KEEP_OPEN_READWRITE to keep the item open after saving changes, and if that fails with MAPI_E_OBJECT_CHANGED you should retry with FORCE_SAVE. And it appears if you call SaveChanges with KEEP_OPEN_READWRITE followed later by another identical call, then you get the MAPI_E_OBJECT_CHANGED error. But in the real world of coding, if you have some complex logic it's quite likely you'll refactor code into several methods which could be setting properties and custom properties and you cannot necessarily guarantee the order of each method or whether they are called at all.

• Visual Basic Emails

  Is there a way to send emails through outlook all the email addresses are on a server. Rather than compose the message external to your application, you can just use the System.Net.Mail namespace: Dim smtp As New System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient("smtpServerNameOrAddress") Dim msg As New System.Net.Mail.MailMessage msg.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress(" sender@domain.com ") msg.To.Add(" recipient@domain.com ") msg.Subject = "The subject" msg.Body = "The message body" smtp.Send(msg) You can also use Office Interop to create and control an instance of Outlook in the background of your application. This would give you access to ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. I made a DirectInput (MDX 1.1) GameComponent...

  I've made a quick DirectInput GameComponent that supports "legacy" controllers through DirectInput. If anyone is interested I'll figure out a place to put it so you can download it (and hopefully improve it). Let me know. That sounds pretty handy, Khass.

• SQL Server 3 tier merge replication problem

  I have a 3 tier merge replication architecture that I am having some problems making changes to.  We have a 3 tier architecture with many laptop instances on the bottom tier.  It is exceedingly hard to coordinate having all laptop instances online simultaneously during non business hours with users present for local administration.  The requirement is to change the name of the top tier without effecting the replication from the middle to bottom tiers. I have so far renamed the top tier's instance, reconfigured publication, created a new top tier publication, and a new middle tier subscription.  The top tier article has been set to delete all data in the subscriber's table when applying the snapshot.  Making data ch ...Show All

• Windows Forms Modeless Dialog boxes that are Always in Focus

  How do you make a modeless dialog box so that it is always in focus with the parent window Like the floating menus in Photoshop, for example. Whatever I do, I haven't found a way to keep more than one window in focus at a time. Thanks, so they only make it look like they are always in focus by having it so the border colour doesn't change when they are out of focus. ...Show All

  I have a fast graphics API to support WinMobile 2003+ and I also want to support fast graphics on generic Windows CE devices (non-WinMobile). Should I be using DirectDraw for this If so, should it be provided by the hardware vendor as part of their CE operating system or can i just redistribute DirectDraw on my own.

• Smart Device Development Tracking windows mobile download site

  We are preparing to distribute our Windows mobile application (cab file) via several methods including many third party sites etc. Our application has to talk to our server to register the user and update data in the application regularly. When the user first registers we would like to track the source that they downloaded the file from. We could embed in each separate cab file a unique source ID but then we would have to resign each one at $35 a pop. (We have custom builds for each device so all devices times all sites really adds up). Is there a way to add or somehow appending this kind of tracking information that anyone has done in the past I could imagine if you are doing an install via ActiveSync you could perhaps include a sec ...Show All
