• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DataTriggers and DataTemplates oh my!

  I've got a simple list of objects and I want to create a "details" panel that displays the object that is selected. Is there a way to create a template for each type of object in the list and place it inside a Panel. I've done it with ListView but can it be done for things that don't contain lists of things Another approach: For each different type, add an implicit template to the panel's resources. (An implicit template is one whose DataType property matches the type of your item.) Here's a sketch... <StackPanel Name="DetailPanel"> <StackPanel.Resources> <DataTemplate DataType="{x:Type myapp:Widget}"> <!-- Note: do not use x:Key here --> ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to play a video fullscreen?

  Hi all, I'm using VB 2005 and want to play a video in fullscreen mode. I've read lots of articles about it and now i'm confused. I've read about DirectX and Windows Media Player 9 and 10 and 3rd party tools, and now I don't know which one to choose I did not find any comparison overview to see the (dis-)advantages of each solution. I still need to generate the videos so I don't care about the format supported as I could create avi, mpeg, divx or whatever is supported. Maybe someone could post a recommendation what to use Many thanks! JRQ, ahmedilyas, many thanks for your advice. So I will check Windows Media Player then. Just one further question: Currently there are 3 different versions available: 9, 10 ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Controlling Messenger from other program

  Hi, I'm trying to figure out the proper way to control Windows Messenger from a java program. I think about starting conversations, find out whether a user is online and so on... 1) Is it right that this is usually done through COM 2) Is the Messenger Object the right point to start at 3) Are there any java libraries that already do this job The only libraries I found directly communicate with the Server. This is not what I wan't to do. I think that it's more comfortable for the users to use the installed messenger. Sorry if this question is stupid, but it's a bit hard to find the information I look for. Your marketing department was just too busy finding new names for the same things the last few years ... ...Show All

• .NET Development Advice needed - persist data during a session without a database?

  If I have a list of things I want to have a user manipulate (add, re-order), but doesn't need to keep between sessions (no db storage needed), what would be the best way to go about that I'm quite new at .NET. Thanks.

• Smart Device Development Soft Input Panel

  Hi, How to make the Forms resizable and shrink when you activate the Soft Input Panel Place a Panel (or any other container control) on the form. Size it that way so it fills the entire screen (Anchoring all sides will help as well) Add an InputPanel control to the form and add a event handler for the EnabledChanged event. In the event handler change the height of the panel based on the size of the SIP. Instead of placing your control on the form directly, place em on the panel you added. Sample: public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1 () { InitializeComponent (); } private void inputPanel1_EnabledChanged ( object sender, EventArgs e) { if ( this .inputPanel1.Ena ...Show All

• SQL Server Select Into help

  I want to select from a table with the following columns ( title , firstname , surname , email, state , pcode , question1 , question1a , question1b , question3 , dob , timetocall , contactname) into another table which has a few more columns which should just have null because they don't have equivalent columns in the table i want to select from.

• Visual Studio Team System Hi~~ About String.IsNullOrEmpty

  Hi all: If I want to make the rule: If a programmer want to test if a String variable is null or not, he should use String.IsNullOrEmpty instead of just typing " someone == null ", so my question is: how to find the " someone == null " in the IL code... For Example: the method is: public void testStringAdd() { String a = "a"; if ( a == null ) { } } could I find the " a == null "'s corresponding IL code thank you~~~ There isn't a single "a == null" IL pattern. The compiler can chose to implement this in many different ways. Off the top of my head I think "a == null" can look like a load (like a ldloc, ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro pass contents to C#

  hi! this is sort of connected to my other post regarding Foxpro and C#.. in the foxpro program i will type in a name and when i call the C# program it will also contain the name entered in the foxpro program. is this possible How can i do this thanks! From C#, you use ADO.NET, connect to the database that contains the data and query it. There is nothing to it, and it is not related to VFP. A SQL Server database is a repository of data. Which client you use to access that data is immaterial to SQL Server. So it is perfectly OK to insert data from a VFP front-end and retrieve it from C# as you want to do. If you are unfamiliar with C# and ADO.NET, there are forums here for them where you can ...Show All
