• .NET Development XSLT 2.0 supported in .NET 2.0?

  Hello, is XSLT 2.0 supported in .NET 2.0 If not, is there an easy way to create the same results as with " xsl:result-document" Kind regards, Daniel Hilgarth The .NET framework class library does not suffice, as said it has only support for XSLT and XPath 1.0 and some extension functions but not for XSLT and XPath 2.0 and stuff like result-document. So you need some additional library like the Saxon library. I think Oleg's nxslt processor based on the .NET XslCompiledTransform also has support for exsl:document. So that could be an alternative to Saxon if all you need is multiple result documents. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Soft-edged brush

  Hi, Can we draw using a soft-edged brush just like what we have in Photoshop or GIMP or the like Coz, usually when we call a pen, it will draw an hard-edged stroke. Thanks in advance. Mmm... i see i haven't tried those. i did tried passing the HatchBrush with 75% style and using a fg color with transparent bg color, but it doesn't give that soft edges effect. Not really sure how to use the LinearGradientBrush to create such effect. But how about TextureBrush... can it accept a gif transparent file. (i'm thinking maybe create a small dot with tranparancy edges) thanks ...Show All

• Windows Forms Did Bill forget document.selection for WebBrowser control?

  I'm wondering why Bill didn't implement document.selection for WebBrowser control in C# as it's the case for JavaScripts ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/obj_selection.asp ). How can I get the selected text of a WebBrowser now :( Hi, I can't get Cut nor Copy to work in C++ ... and am wondering why as MSDN says it should. I've tested ExecCommand of IHTMLDocument2 and exec of IWebBrowser2 with the IDM_CUT and IDM_COPY. Both doesn't work. Really disapointing... Fred ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Connecting to TFS from EXCEL

  can somebody please assist me how to connect to TFS through EXCEL and get the count of the various work items like active bugs, resolved bugs etc.. Its a very urgent . thanks in advance ratz To connect to TFS and to get list of workitems in excel, checkout "Building Work Item Lists in Microsoft Excel" section in this msdn article . Basically you'll have excel addin when installing tfs client, and from Excel you'll see menus to connect to TFS (under Team main menu) and to import items. If all you need is to run queries for count, the work item picker dialogs that comes up during "Add workitems" menu will help, but making large queries has perf implications.

• Visual Basic Is there any way to make VB programs run w/o the .net framework?

  I try to develop professional applications. When I give my software to somebody, it is almost embarasing to say that they will need to download other software that I did not make in order to run my programs. Is there any way that I can force the .net framework away from my applications If you write something in a .NET-based language your users will need the .NET framework installed to run it. If your users are keeping their system up-to-date with Microsoft Update (or they are running Vista) .NET should already be installed. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mouse / Keyboard Events when using SimpleFramwork on a windows form

  Hi, Has anyone managed to get the latest version of the Sample Framework (Feb 2006 and Dec 2005) to work with full mouse and keyboard events. (I have added my code at the bottom of this post) I have been trying now for 2 weeks with no luck. I can see the mouse messages on the form and by adding hooks to the mouse on InitialiseGraphics() I can also capture the mouse message in the directx application but I am not sure how I can pass this onto the framework to process so that when I press the left mouse button and move the mouse the model will move on screen. This works perfectly if I use CreateWindow but not if I use SetWindow. I am using Simple Animation from the SDK browser and have removed the CreateWindow(..) and replaced it wi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development PictureBox displays white background

  Hi, I need to develop a menu form which contains icons and when user clicks those icons they will be directed to respected forms. Easiest way is to use PictureBox and set PictureBox.Image property to icon images. For this, I'm using .ico format of images since PictureBox can accept that. Then i handle the click event of those PictureBoxes. It works just fine except those PictureBoxes can't display transparent background, instead they display white background. No matter what color I chose for the BackColor property, they still produce white bground. It took me hours to think what is going wrong. I googled this problem and some say PictureBox can't display transparent bground. Kinda weird here, it is not just fail to go transparent, Pi ...Show All
