• Windows Forms ListView gridline rendering issue

  I've got a ListView that fails to correctly repaint gridlines when the vertical scrollbar is clicked. Dragging the thumb works fine, but clicking anywhere in the scrollbar region results in either too many "compressed" gridlines, or too few. This is on WinXP.  Is this a known issue   set DoubleBuffered = true; to reduce flickering and hook up scroll events in listview, this works rather well for me.

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) WPF/E vs. XBap

  Hello Community! I was recently trying to evaluate why there is seemingly two ways to write web-based applications with WPF. Am I way off Can anyone explain to me when I would use an XBap over a straight up WPF/E application Thanks, Alan Alan Z wrote: I was recently trying to evaluate why there is seemingly two ways to write web-based applications with WPF. Am I way off At the moment, yes you are way off. WPF/E has no UI controls, no layouts, and no ability to write code (other than Javascript). These things may be added to WPF/E at some point in the future, possibly before it's released to the world. So you can't "write web-based applications" using WPF/E... Unless ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Timeout through ADO but not from Query Analyser

  I have a strange problem running a stored proc in SQL 2000. The proc returns XML and I'm using ADO to call the proc and return the data as a stream. When I call the proc through ADO, it times out because it is taking 40 seconds to run and my command timeout is set to 30. I can increase this no problem but the strange thing is that when I run the same proc from within query analyser, it completes in under a second. I put profiler on it tracing the command start and finish events and it's definitely taking 40 seconds between start and finish. The proc is used with various input parameters and the timeout is only occurring for some combinations of inputs, but it always seems to take much longer than it does when run from query analyser. Can ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 and changing an image in a different frame

  We have a series of GIS mapping applications that run using ESRI's ArcIMS software with a javascript based html viewer. We use a series of frames on a single page to display the base map, legend, table of contents, and an overview map. The applications have been running for about 4 years without any major browser issues. However, the document object coding that we use to update and switch the overview images does not work in IE7: < SCRIPT LANGUAGE =JAVASCRIPT > < !-- ... parent.OverviewFrame.document.images['ovImage'].src = 'image.gif'; ... //--></SCRIPT> Anybody know how to get this working again Thanks!

• Visual C++ Linking an app in debug mode (with /MDd) against static lib built in release mode (with /MD)

  I remember this sort of mixing used to work fine prior to VS2005. But now it doesn't seem to. This suggests that one has to have a debug and a release versions of each library to be able to compile a debug and a release version of the application. The following short example results in an access violation exception: Compile A.* into a.lib in release mode with /MD (it doesn't matter if compiled with or without optimization): File A.h: #include <vector> class A { public : std::vector< double > v; A( int x) {} ~A(); }; File A.cpp: #include "A.h" A::~A() { } Compile app.cpp in debug mode with /MDd: File app.cpp: #include "A.h" void main() { A a(4); } The ex ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Vista 'Sleep' Issue

  Hi All, I am facing a issue with 'Sleep' mechanism in Vista. I am doing certain asynchronous I/O operation on my device when I receive 'PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND' through 'WM_POWERBROADCAST' message. 'PBT_APMRESUMESUSPEND' is the message we get from Window's when it comes out of sleep mode. But while doing so I receive 'ERROR_IO_PENDING' error. Are anyone facing similar problems I did not face any such issues on Windows XP and 2000. I have read that in Vista 'Sleep' is replaced with 'Hybrid Sleep'. Does that make any difference Regards, Anmol Hi All, The error is not IO Pending but it is 'The system cannot find the file specified' or sometimes it is 'Device Not Connected' Sorry for the wrong informati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Attaching an attachment from one bug to another

Thanks for any help... For v1, TFS delegated attachment downloads to the default web browser (essentially returns a url). Please note that downloading attachments via our code is not a supported scenario - even though it is possible through laborious means If you want to attach the same file to another work item, you would need to write an HTTP Get Request to download the file locally, then attach it via the Object Model to another work item.

• .NET Development How to set UseDefaultCredentials to true as default for webservice

  Is there a way to setup a webservice so when it is instantiated, the UseDefaultCredentials is automatically set to true Maybe some setting in web.config I have a web service that requires authentication, but I want the ObjectDataSource to be able to bind to it. I am not sure about your first question.. But the way I handle the ObjectDataSource issue is to add code to the ObjectCreated event of the datasource. In this event you can get an instance of the object and set the properties you need.

• Windows Forms Problem with big form

  I try to make big form but i cant make it bigger than 1036; 780. I set property MaximumSize to 1200;1200 but still i cant make bigger form than 1036; 780. Please help me :) Hi, It's a problem. But you can add such code to your application. protected override CreateParams CreateParams { get { CreateParams cp = base .CreateParams; cp.Height = 2000; cp.Width = 2000; return cp; } } You can set the height and width to any pixels. Then the limitation is gone. Thanks the anonymous user in this post . ...Show All
