• Visual C# Attributes

  I just wanted verification on this. If I use custom attributes to document bug fixes in my code, will that effect run-time performance [ BugFix("01/01/07", "Fixed problem with calculation...")] [BugFix("01/04/07", "Added error-handling....")] public void MyMethod() { ................ I could use the XML comments, but I could also use the attributes, since they will generate with the SandCastle documentation. Also it allows the possibility of building a utility to pull the code modifications out into a report all by itself via reflection. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Where are the Windows Forms controls equivalents?

  Hi, I was wondering if we are going to see equivalents of the Windows Forms Controls and Windows Forms capabilities in WPF. Although WPF seems impressive, it lags the Windows Forms power and its also counteractive. Two things: 1) There are a set of controls and features that are simply lagging in WPF. DataGrid, MaskedTextBox, etc. These won't make it for V1, but we are *very* aware of their demand and plan to address the hole ASAP. 2) For certain other things (like Image in Button) previous replies get the idea. We think it's *more* powerful to allow people to put anything in a Button than to explicitly provide an Image property. (What if you want 2 images Do you need an Image2 property ) While ...Show All

• SQL Server Using IDTSEvents interface when running a Package

  I am running a package from a C# application. I would like to use the IDTSEvents interface to capture events from the package such as OnPreExecute, OnWarning, OnError, etc. I created a class (PackageEvents) that implements the IDTSEvents interface. I pass a PackageEvents object into the Application.LoadPackage call that creates the package. The package runs successfully as usual, but nothing happens in my PackageEvents class. None of the breakpoints hit (I put one in every function). What do I need to do to get the class that implements IDTSEvents to be called All the properties of the package object seem reasonable at runtime. Here is a code snippet that shows what I am trying to do: // Class that implements the IDTSEvents i ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Blend modes not supported in WPF?

  Are blend modes not supported in WPF With the recent release of WPF/E and the new CTP's for the Expression tools, my interest in WPF has rekindled.  However, after searching the Web and Newsgroups it seems that blend modes are not supported in the WPF.  I'm not quite sure what the rationale behind leaving this feature out of WPF was. (Purhaps time constraints )   I'm sure the developers on the WPF team know how to program support for blend modes.   It's pretty much well documented on the Web.   I've even written a few for a custom layering application I wrote for .Net 1.1. a year or so ago.   It's odd that they took the time to program support for filters such as drop shadow, blur, and reflection, but not ...Show All

  Is there a way I could display a custom error message when no matching location is found instead of: "Virtual Earth could not find a match for the location.
