• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) color space?

  Hi all, does anyone have any experience with WPF and color spaces (i.e. Adobe 1998) I'm finding that images loaded into my app keep their color space fine (in this case, adobe 1998), but i'm rendering a bitmap from on the fly compositions (some layered canvases) using RenderTargetBitmap. I encode to Tiff and save to harddrive and find the colors have changed dramatically. Not sure how to keep the adobe 1998 colorspace/ assign a colorspace /or even possibly assign and difference colorspace than the original. can't seem to find anything in the sdk docs or the forums... thoughts thanks, steve FYI, in order to reference a ColorContext when saving a file, try this: static class Utility { p ...Show All

• Visual C++ /MTd and /clr options are incompatible. Why?

  Ok, here is the long story. I have a nice C++ component which statically links to about 10 libraries as well as links to ATL, C run-time library and MFC. Component is multi-threaded and it actually runs couple of threads inside but everything is nicely wrapped into one DLL which can be called from any .NET program. It was all fine until I tried to migrate this project from VS 2002 to VS 2005. After migration at first I got this message: Building MFC application with /MD (CRT dll version) requires MFC shared dll version. Please #define _AFXDLL or do not use /MD I checked settings and saw that migration changed runtime library option to Multi-threaded DLL instead of just Multi threaded. Well, I have no intention of having 10+ DLLs instead o ...Show All

• Smart Device Development PROBLEM : Connection to emulator device using Microsoft Loopback adapter !

  Hi, I'm trying to get a solution for the following problem : I'm developing an application where I have to send data to an emulator (or an PDA connected to a desktop pc) using XML-RPC. To use this, I need the emulator to have an IP-address. I searched on the internet and found something about the Microsoft Loopback adapter. So installed and configured the adapter using the following configuration : - IP address : 192.168.1.1 - Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0 - Gateway : no - DNS : no This seems to work without any problems, I can see I have 2 connections running (my internet and the one using loopback adapter) To configure VS.NET 2005 I did the following thing : - select TCP-IP Transport (instead of DMA-transport) as the em ...Show All

It makes me to imagine the command-line execution tools. However, the code is input to a TextBox control. According to your demand, I found an article in code project titled Compile and run VB.NET code using the CodeDom that demonstrates "run-time" compile and execute of VB.NET code, using the CodeDom.

• Software Development for Windows Vista ASP app failing to create COM objects on IIS7

  I have an ASP app that I'm trying to run on Vista/IIS7. The ASP page creates a COM object that provides some content to the page but this is failing to create with the error: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad' ActiveX component can't create object: 'ProgID....' The COM object is installed/registered and can be created with oleview. If I run procmon (sysinternals) looking at the registry access for w3wp.exe, I get entries where it's looking at HKCR/ProgID.... but returns NAME NOT FOUND. It obviously exists because Oleview can create the object. The IIS website has anonymous authentication enabled and this is set to the same user that I'm logged on as.

• Visual FoxPro Hiding deleted items on grid

  Hello What I want to do is to hide deleted items in a grid in real time. I have a grid bound to a PRODUCT table. The grid displays all the products I have. I have SET DELETED ON in the Form's Load event In the grid's INIT event I have SET FILTER TO NOT DELETED() and in the DELETE event I have Thisform.grid.Refresh, to refresh the grid every time I delete an item. In a button called "DELETE PRODUCT" I have the following code DELETE So, when I choose a item in the grid, I click the DELETE PRODUCT button and the grid behaves a little weird, 1- The last record in the grid gets deleted not the one I chose. 2- The grid gets refreshed only when I click in another Item inside the grid.

• SQL Server Help Passing Complex Variable Types to a Web Service Task

  I need a little help here and appreciate any insight into this issue. I am building an SSIS package that retrieves data from a database to use in a web service task. So let me give you a little more broad overview of the package so you can understand how this is supposed to roll. A database is queried and those values are dumped into a recordset. A foreach loop uses each row of variables to call the web service and dump the returned values to another database. The first database holds a bunch of fields, but the four fields of interest are: a StartDate (DateTime), a StartFormat (single char), an EndDate (DateTime) and an EndFormat (single char). The output from the query of the first database is the input in the signature of a web servic ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to perform explicit Validation?

  I've implemented a validation object and successfully bound it to an input control (textBox) in XAML such that when I modify the UI, the validation fires, and prevents the value from being updated. I would like to trigger the validation explicitly, so that I can perform it as the result of a user click (eg. a Close button) and condition the closing of the window on successful validation. I tried doing this in code. Specify the UpdateSourceTrigger to "Explicit" in XAML in the Binding and validation declaration and then do the following in the click handler for my close button.            BindingExpression be = textBoxPosition.GetBindingExpression(TextBox.TextProperty);   ...Show All
