• Visual Studio Windows SDK July CTP breaks documentation - again

  Windows SDK July CTP has once again borked my documentation. This time neither my MSDN Library nor my Visual Studio Combined Help documentation works.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SOAP intermediaries and message security

  Hello. I’m developing a SOAP intermediary service for a scenario where message security (using the WSHttpBinding) is used. I’ve used the following technique: 1) The SOAP intermediary service (SIS) contract has only one operation, with a Message parameter and returns a Message. The current implementation simply forwards the message and the reply without any modifications. 2) The SIS uses the WSHttpBinding WITHOUT security and has a service behavior with ValidateMustUnderstand set to false. This way, all the security related headers are ignored by the SIS. The SIS also communicates with the ultimate receiver using the WSHttpBinding WITHOUT security. 3) The SIS endpoint dispatcher uses a MatchAllMessageFilte ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sizing content to Parent StackPanel

  Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to make content inside a StackPanel to automatically size itself to the size of the StackPanel. This is possible in a Grid, but I do not know how exactly to implement this with a StackPanel. Thank you, Jaco Thanks, that will work, but is there a way to do it without binding the properties The reason is that according to the people in WPF Land, a lot of bindings has a big performance impact. I will be having a variable amount of stackpanels, this will easily get huge. ...Show All

  Code sample below. My buttons are acting kinda screwy. I can activate them by clicking, but they exhibit the focus and active states only when I click. Focus is not happening when I mouse over.

• Software Development for Windows Vista wmp video dsp plugin

    hi everyone. I want to modify the video dsp plug-in sample from the wmpsdk. what I need is to present an image on top of the presented streaming video. the image needs to be created dynamically by input param like: width height location color and text. the final image will be a rounded rect. with text. I thought that the way to do this is to create a bitmap in the memory and paint it with gdi and then to load  the value of each pixel to a buffer. with the values in the buffer I can change the values of the presented frame. to change the pixel values of the frame to diferent values is very easy and i know how to do this. but i do not know about the rest!!! is there a bet ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) What's likely to be in the WPF/E 1.0 release slated for first half 2007?

  Browsing these forums I've seen a few comments suggesting that the first 1.0 release of WPF/E will be in the first half of 2007. If thats true, can we assume that 1.0 will offer similar features to the February CTP - ie basically limted XAML and Javascript I've also seen the odd comment saying that WPF/E is not due until 2008. If thats true (which I hope it isn't otherwise Adobe are going to win the RIA war before its even started), is it likely that that release would contain far more features such as a proper XAML layout and UI widgets and a proper CLR I'm just trying to figure out what the Roadmap is for WPF/E as currently the CTPs seem to be at such an embryonic stage that there seems little point in trying to build anything with ...Show All
