• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to use UIElement.AddToEventRoute Method ?

  I want to do same thing of ToolBar as behavior. I was not able to find the sample. Does not the change in the routing of the event use AddToEventRoute I wanted to customize the route of the event. At that time, I thought that it was able to achieve it if this method was used. The event is received with CommandManager.AddCanExecuteHandler and CommandManager.AddExecutedHandler now, and RaiseEvent is done routing ahead. Is there a better method ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to show a XAML-defined window

  I was doing a test of making a XAML only Window (no code-behind). But in other code, like in an event handler for a button click, how do I show the XAML-defined Window Do I have to place it in a resource dictionary, give it a key, and pull it that way It would be nice if I could simply say in the Window's XAML that the Window is MyNamespace.MyWindow class and then create/show it via code like: new MyNamespace.MyWindow.ShowDialog() I'm just asking because for a simple Window, I'd prefer to not to have to make a code behind file. Thanks in advance! Yes it is possible to declare a Window in markup only. You're almost there in your approach. The code that declares the window should also call InitializeComponent on the win ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro CursorAdapters and UDF in FoxPro 9

  Hi, I like to know if is possible to create a Cursoradapter (ADO) with a select CMD using a function. For example if I have a function concat(par1,par2) that returns par1+par2. I like to use as select command something like select concat(lastname,firstname) as name from personal Thanks Ivan Thanks for your answer. Using the builder interface I can create cursoradapters with functions in the SelectCMD with NATIVE cursors, but I can not do it using ADO cursors. It sound logic because ADO is using external FOXPRO programs or DLLs, I was wondering only if there is a way to intercept or extend those DLLS, but in the same way it sound more complicated. I think that with NATIVE cursor are good enough. Tha ...Show All

• Visual Basic Embedded MP3 (in resource file) playback

  Hi! I want to embed a MP3 as a resource in VB05 and play it with DirectX. I don't want to use any coms (e.g. Media Player ActiveX control). Any suggestions Alternatively, how do I playback a embedded (in the resource file) MP3 file with the Media Player ActiveX to playback media files in WMP, you can include the WMP 9/10 in your application if you want to playback media files, this can be achieved by installing the WMP SDK and adding the AX control on your form. Alternatively, have you looked at the Managed DirectX SDK Alot of cool stuff in there and I believe there are examples on how to play back audio.   you may want to check out this article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/gamedevelopment/beginning ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Save as FILTERED html

  Is it possible to use VSTO to save a Word file as a filtered html document Also, before the file is saved I would like to manually mark the location of each page break (info which is normally lost when saved to filtered html). Thanks in advance for your replies. No kidding! The required parameters were difficult enough to sort out without having to deal with the missing ones. Fortunately I was able to get it to work using the following code: object fileName = @"c:\foo22.html"; object fileFormat = Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatFilteredHTML; this.Application.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(ref fileName, ref fileFormat, ref missing,     ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, ref missing, r ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Re-hosting the Workflow Designer tool

  Vihang, I have reviewed your article http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnlong/html/WFDsgnRehst.asp and was wondering if xoml only workflows with namespace references can be used with it BTW: Have you considered a web based version of this product I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, John Portnov The x:Class attribute tells the WF Designer about the DesignTime type systems defined in the WF and hence is absolutely necessary. Basically the WF type system looks for the DesignTime types defined in the type provided by the x:Class. Hope this helps! Thanks, Kushal. ...Show All

• SQL Server How to send a report on data change?

  I have this report that uses one table. At some random times during the night this table will be updated. Is there a way to trigger the email report whenever the table changes its data Arent data driven subscriptions triggered by a scheduled routine at a certain time I dont need the email list to be dynamic, I need to send the report to the same mailing list whenever the report data (i.e. the data on this one table) changes. I tried firing the report whenever a new snapshot is taken but then the report is sent every time I take a snapshot (snapshots are also bound to a schedule), not when the new snapshot has different data, so this isnt good for me either. Any ideas ...Show All
