• Visual Studio delete is not calling Mergedisconnect

  Hi, I have generate double derived set to true for a class and was successfully able to override canmerge, mergeralate method. But for some reason mergeDisconnect is not getting fired when i delete that class element.The same thing happens with connector class also. Is there anything additional setting that i am missing. I need to be able to take certain actions on delete that i need to override the default delete implementation. thanks MergeDisconnect is not used for deleting, it is used for reparenting (e.g. when you drag an element out of one swimlane into another). If you want to modify the delete propagation behaviour, use the delete behaviour section of the Dsl Details window. You ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Bluetooth anyone???

  Does anyone have or know of where I can obtain exaples of bluetooth communication set up in vb.net I am attempting to set up communications between a bluetooth mobile printer and a handheld device, so if the example where compatable with the compact framework I would be that much more excited. I have been looking for a while now and have hit a few dead ends (dead links) and am begining to get frustrated. I am suprised at the lack of information on the topic considering how great the technology is and how many hardware solutions are out there. I have a Toshiba (Qosmio 25) which has its own BT stack. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with my Blackberry 8700. So I uninstalled the Tosh stack, then added just the Tosh piece necessary to sta ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook: MAPI fields versus User Properties

  Hi, I want to improve an outlook addin which is using mapi fields (a lot) and this is generating abnormal behaviors in outlook, so now I'm in doubt to quit all use of mapi fields fo User Properties but I need some recomendatios or comments about using "mapi fields vs user properties" (or viceversa). Thanks, Mauricio. When you work with MAPI properties, you need to make sure you release items promptly so that you don't get conflicts between an item still held in memory and the item the user sees in the UI. It may even be necessary to force GC.Collect. ...Show All

• Gadgets z-index with <object> and <g:background>

  I'm nearing completion of my gadget, but I have one last feature which is stalling me. My gadget is using an ActiveX control to stream video from a webcam. Everything is working great, however I'm running into the old problem of not being able to catch onclick events on the <object> tag. My workaround so far has been to use onmouseover, which works fine, but it is less than perfect. While messing around with g:background, however, I noticed that if the z-index is higher than the z-index of the ActiveX object, I suddenly can right-click on the object and get the normal gadget context menu. Usually, that does not work. Also, the onmouseover event on the object stops firing, which leads me to believe that in some wa ...Show All

• SQL Server security newbie

  Hi, I'm building an asp.net website using web developer express and I have a SQL 2005 express install on the same machine. Using windows security, everything works fine for development. Now I need to get it working at the client site, where the web server and SQL 2005 server are on different machines. I'd tried using windows authentication but that didn't work, probably wasnt' doing it correctly. I'd like to try SQL Authentication, since I can replicate that on my laptop at home easily I think. I created a new SQL login but was really baffled by the screens showing roles and schemas, etc. I did turn on remote connections and mixed-mode authentication, the probably now is my asp.net membership provider login page isn't authenticating corre ...Show All
