• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Commands ignored when FocusManager.IsFocusScope="True"

  The SDK documentation for FocusManager.IsFocusScope says that a focus scope can be set to keep track of logical focus among child elements. However when I set a focus scope on an element it looks like the change of focus is being ignored by the command system. In the example code below I have a toolbar with buttons for cut, copy and paste commands, and two RichTextBoxes. When I select text in the RichTextBox with IsFocusScope="True" the cut and copy buttons are not enabled. If I select some text in the non-focus scope box the the cut and copy buttons are enabled. If I then change focus back to the box with focus scope enabled the cut and copy buttons remain enabled. If I click the paste button, the paste is always performed o ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to bind values to the Grid in WPF?

  I have created a Grid object and added column and row definitions to the Grid. I want to bind the data for the grid columns. Is there any way to bind the data for the Grid as like normal VS .Net 2003 (i.e. DataGrid1.DataSource = ds) If it is not possible in WPF, how can i bind the values to the Grid in WPF. OTHER IMPORTANT Thing is I want to create a DataGrid which is to be good look-and feel (Which should not be like normal WinForms grid, instead it should be good style as with moulded borders, using nice colors, and should also perform event handling.(such as mouse move, mouseover,dragover..) It should also allow us to add any type of controls(such as Calender control, dropdownlist, popup menus, context menus). It also ha ...Show All

• Visual C++ serialPort.Read

  I have been playing around with the serial port class for about a week and have managed to learn a small number of different ways to read the data in and then act upon it. I have just successfully written code to use the serialPort ->ReadByte() method. My problem with this method is that no matter how large (number of bytes) the data is, it will only read one byte at a time when data is received. I want to read a small data packet which contains three characters. I have attempted to use the serialPort->Read() method, but I keep getting a null error. My code is: private : System::Void serialPort1_DataReceived(System::Object^ sender, System::IO::Ports::SerialDataReceivedEventArgs^ e) { int offset = 0; int count ...Show All

• SQL Server automated replication scripting

  We create replication scripts on a regular basis, saving them to a warm standby server as a precaution. Is there a way to automate (i.e. in a job) the scripting of replication Right-clicking in EM is becoming tedious with the number of servers we have (80+ of them SQL Servers). My manager does not want to go through just restoring msdb on the standby; he says there are issues with that. I am new enough to replication to just go with his guidance, which is why we are taking this approach. You can take a look at RMO programming. For example, Publication object has a method Script() that can be used to create a script (see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sqlserver.replication.publication.script.aspx ).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bullet Hell Tactics - Shoot'em'up game created with XNA (video and screensots)

  Hey! For the last couple of months (5 to be exact) I have been working on a shoot'em'up (shmup) game with XNA and have now come to point where I can show what it will look like and how it will play. I have screenshots and a gameplay video that can be found at http://shmup.blogspot.com . (Remember that this is work in progress, and a lot of stuff is missing). Here you can also read about the development and progress of the game. I don't yet have a playable demo for download (sorry). Later on I will have a beta for download for those of you that wish to try it. It has been a WHOLE lot of work to get this thing play (I know maybe it doesnt look like much work when you see it but trust me - it is!) Almost all the gameplay element ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to send SMS to mobile from WorkFlow?

  Dear all, I need to send automatic SMS(any country) to the customers(bank) once each task is completed in the WF.How can i achieve this Which is the best way to do this Invoking the webservice or is there any activity like we using SendEmailActivity(for sending mails) or is there any other way If so..please guide me to do this providing some code snippets too. Waiting for your valuable inputs, Thanks in advance, Sunath One more thing I forgot to say - as a design choice it would be better if you have this code within a custom activity rather than in a code activity. You can then share that activity with other workflows in your application, or create designers for it, and visually model it. A code activity by itself d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to count the number of CheckBoxes Checked

  Is there a way to count the number checkboxes that have been checked on a form and when a certain number as been reached disable any remaining checkboxes Regards LVB This alteration of Manan's code should work for counting checked boxes: Dim i,count As Integer For i = 0 To Form1.Controls.Count - 1 If TypeOf Form1.Controls(i) Is Checkbox AndAlso Ctype(Form1.Controls(i), Checkbox).Checked Then count++ End If Next If there's a huge number of checkboxes involved, I'd put in the check to see if count exceeded the value you were checking for, but it is not necessary if you're just looking at 20 or so controls.

• Visual Studio Team System Overwrite Drop Location and keep output from project files!!

  Hi All, Is there anyway that I could by pass drop location and keep the output as I set in the project files Best Regards, Andy, Let's see if I have this straight. I am assuming that you wish to have builds occur but you want the output binaries to be staged in the folders defined in the project build configuration's Output path If this is the case you have to do some significant spelunking and modification in the Microsoft.Common.targets file. I wouldn't recommend doing this. If you can give some insight as to why you need to override the drop location with the location set in the project files, I'm sure we can find a way to help you. ...Show All

• Windows Forms help with DataGridView

  hi all. i set my DataGridView.DataSource=MyDataTable after i update a field in the DataGidView and Clicked on another field, i wanted to get the changed rows from my MyDataTable . (MyDataTable.GetChanges) but it is NULL. only if i press the TAB or exit the grid(after updateing a filed), it will be updated and i'll get the changed rows from my MyDataTable. why Hi, When you call the Update method or exit the grid, you are basically committing changes to the data table (AcceptChanges is implicitly called). In such a case, the GetChanges method will not return any data. What you can do is: verify if there are any changed rows by calling the HasChanges method of the dataset (create one based on the datatable). Reg ...Show All

• Visual Basic ListBox.Items.Add() doesn't work for me

  Hey everyone, I'm trying to add data to a listbox, but I get a object reference error.
