• Windows Forms Floating tool window

  I'm looking for a way to implement a C# form which hovers in the same manor as a C# floating toolbar, but my hovering form will never be docked. I'm hoping not to use the Interop functionality and do it all in .NET. For instance the Solution Explorer window in Visual Studio .NET if it is not docked to the IDE will hover/float above the IDE so the end user will always see it while Visual Studio .NET maintains focus. Once Visual Studio .NET loses focus to another application (for instance the standard windows calculator application) the other application window/windows will be on top and be able to hide the Solution Explorer window. I've tried using the TopMost property of a form but this is not a solution since it will keep my tool wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I am so fed up with WPF and .Net 3.0 !!!!

  I have dutifully followed the development cycle of Vista WPF and .Net 3.0 through over a years CTP's and although it all sounds great, the delivery from MS is very poor. It's strange how a xbap application will work, then suddenly not work and then I have start a new application with the code from the old one and it works. The documentation provided by the SDK is so technical and incomplete it's virtually impossible to decipher and errors fly thick and fast through the Extensions to VS2005. I have a entire book shelf of now obsolete .NET 1.1 Framework ... volumes and volumes of it which was outdated before I even got it and was over $600. Now .Net 2.0, and .Net 3.0 Come on MS, where the hell are you going and how the hell do you thi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Streaming audio/video

  I want to create a server that can stream a video to a client but i have no idea where to start. Should i stream the entire file or encode it and then stream it and how can i do that with WCF I'm not sure if MTOM is good choice for streamin, I think it will have to accumulate stream in order to attach it as attachment to the message instead of streaming it inline. May be using binary binding it would work better. ...Show All

• Windows Forms MSB3187 Referenced assembly ' ' targets a different processor than the application using MageUI but not in VS2005 build

  I have a C# application that I'm trying to deploy, it contains a number of dlls one being a C++ dll. When I build the application (referencing the C++ dll) in Visual Studio 2005, it builds and publishes without any problems. I want to move the application to a live server so I'm using MageUI to change the Start Location. When I load the application manifest and then load the files; I try to save the manifest and get the MSB3187 error. I checked the C++ project and the Target Environment is set to "Not Set" and the my application is set to Any CPU. Are these compatible and if not do anyone know what they should be Regards Alan That is strange. I have an assembly that generates the same message i ...Show All

• Smart Device Development void __cdecl _com_issue_error(long)" and Win CE 5.0

In this DLL I am creating few smart pointers as shown below. _COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(IMarkers, __uuidof(IMarkers)); _COM_SMARTPTR_TYPEDEF(IMarker, __uuidof(IMarker)); This is creating problem for me during Linking, I am getting few linking issues error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl _com_issue_error(long)" ( _com_issue_error@@YAXJ@Z) I knew its something related with C++ style of exception handling, which was not supported in Win CE 3.0. There are lot of query is there related to same issue, but most of them are talking about Win CE 3.0, they are proposing to implement a dummy function to handle this issue.

• Visual Basic PrintForm tool problems

  I'm having a strange problem with the PrintForm tool. I created a Windows form with just a button, that loads a second form, with a docked image, in a PictureBox, and a button, to print the form. It works fine, BUT... after saving the project, closing VBE, and openning it again, it won't work!

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) location changed event required

  I have grid controls on the window and these grid controls are moveable, mean, user can drag them on the window. Now when the grid control change their location (top and left) then I need their event (Grid's event which tell me that location of the grid has been changed) in which I could handle the desired tasks on their move. I know this is the stupid question :( but what I do here b'coze I am stucked.. Cheers, Kahn OK - that doesn't actually use a Grid. It uses a Canvas. And since you have to add all the code shown in that article in order to make things move around, you already know exactly when things are being moved. So just add whatever other code you need into the place where that code moves th ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Using server's date/time.

  Hi; Is there a way to make VFP use the server's date/time in the different date functions I have XP stations on Win2003 server and some machines sometimes have a messed up date. Transactions are updated with the incorrect date because the stations are not set to the right date / time. Thanks, Aleniko The only reliable way I have found is: -Create a file on server, get its creationtime, erase -Compare that time with local time. If difference is over some threshhold (ie: 5 secs) then set local computer's time. PS: In my applications I use an option ([ ] Synch local station's time with server time). If checked I do that. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Checking in - Developer Comments &amp; Other Comments

  When checking in code, we put a requirement in that developers must comment what they did in the "Developers Comment" section (Check-in Notes). This is not displayed anywhere, in any email or on any web page in TFS. Regular comments are. Is there a way to display "check in Notes", or instead of doing this, require that developers put comments in the "Comment" section where they see the files they're checking in This way our CSR's can see what our developers comments are when they check in code. You'll need to install the dll on all of the developers machines the VS\common7\ide\privateassemblies directory should do. You also need to create a registry entry under: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8 ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting Query Analyzer message display buffering

  I have a process that runs in query analyzer, that has some print statments in it to note progress. The problem is the output of the print statements does not appear until the job finishes. I am guessing there is a buffer setting somewhere that is set to queue up these messages to a limit before displaying them, but I have not been able to find anything like that. Is there a way to force a print message to display sooner Thanks Is this in any way related to Analysis Services What kind process is that Edward. -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ...Show All
