• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Best way to approach clickable duplicating lines?

  Hi everyone, I have a basic drawn using PolyLines. At each datapoint, I am planning on having a vertical bar that can be clicked on to display some value associated with that point. For example, let's say I have an array of data that contains the following: { 10, 20, 30, 50, 60, 0, 100 } There are seven pieces of data, and those will correspond to the seven data points. So there will be seven vertical bars, and when I hover/click over a particular bar, I get the array value associated with that point. I have a good enough idea on how to create both the duplicating lines + event handler using WinForms, but what are the best ways of doing this using WPF Thanks! Kirupa ...Show All

  Hi, I am just trying new DLINQ features. And I was cretaed a WinForm App. I am using the DLINQ designer and then drag&drop the objectdatasource to Form surface to automatically create necessary bindingsource and binding navigator objects together with textbox and other controls that are databound to fields of objectdatasource.

• SQL Server Need sql script or statement to extract all relations from one tree

  Suppose I have a table with relations (REL). In this table there are relations between parent en child, so the columns are: Rel_Id, parent_Id, child_Id. Example: 1, A, B 2, A, C 3, A, D 4, B, E 5, C, F 6, G, H 7, G, I 8, H, J I need a query which returns all relations from REL that are in the same tree as the input unit. In the example, giving D as input unit, it should return relations 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, because A, B, C, E and F are (in)directly related to D and belong therefore to the same tree. Giving H as input, it should return relations 6, 7 and 8. (with a tree, I mean that a parent can have 0, 1 or more children and a child belongs at most one parent.) Thanks for your help in advance!

• Visual Studio Team System tf get from linux

  Hi, I'm currently developing an application that centralizes compilations, the thing is, that the compilation is performed inside build servers, so, one compilation is fired from my application throw SSH in an windows NT server, another in a windows 2003, etc. Each build server performs an MSBuild, Nant, ant,bat, etc script, which performs a tf get from Team foundation server and then compiles the source code.

• SQL Server Problem accessing MSDB in a cluster

  I'm new to sql clusters, but i've been asked to set up an SSIS job on a cluster. My wish is to import the dtsx package to MSDB, not to "File System". This works fine in my non clustered test environment, but on the cluster, I can't expand the MSDB node. When I try, I get a pretty long error message, I don't have it here right now, but i says something about that the reason could be the lack of a default instance on the sql server. I'm not the one who set up the cluster and to be honest, I don't know how default instances works in a clustered environment. Does anyone recognize the problem A related question. Should I connect to "the cluster" or to the node with SSIS installed when I upload the dtsx package I'm a ...Show All

• Visual C++ How do you declare Enumerations for ATL projects using embedded IDL
