• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Modifying default style/template for subclassed control

  Hi, I would like to subclass the MenuItem class and add a HighlightBackground property which would make the highlighted background of the control configurable. Currently, the background can be set by using the Background property, but the highlighted background is hard-coded in the framework. My first approach was to use a Style and add a Trigger to set the background based on the property IsHighlighted. This did not work. My second approach was to provide a custom ContentTemplate for the control. I used the template for MenuItem posted in mshelp. This template, however, is not the one actually used by the class. The one used by the class displays a popup with squared corners and check marks. The mshelp version displays a popup with round ...Show All

• Windows Forms Drag outside window and get drop path

  Hi,  Im trying to find out how i can get the path of a drop when you drag an item off the form and drop into a folder or desktop. Im using C# if that makes any difference. Same as lets say winrar where you drag a file out and it extracts it into the location you dropped it. Thanks for any help,     -Dave It is the other application, the one that created the window onto which your dropped the object, that gets the drop notification. That would be the Windows Shell. Writing Shell drag and drop handlers requires C++, it cannot be done in C# or any other .NET language. This is a technical limitation of the shell that probably won't be resolved for a while. Here's a good project ...Show All

• SQL Server How to refer to the whole cube while using the filter of the cube browser?

  Hello! I've got an accounting cube with balances as measures and amongst others a time dimension. There's also a calculated member which should show the balance of the previous year. This calculated member uses the PARALLELPERIOD-function. So far everything works fine! But while using the filter of the cube browser and selecting a certain year, I can't refer to other years than the selected year. So how can I get the balance of the previous year Thanks for any help! Hello Tigran! Thanks for you advice! But I defined the calculated member inside the Measure Group. So I think that it's called calculated measure. Am I right So do you know any solution in this case I have to use the filter o ...Show All

• Windows Forms Unable to cast object of type 'X' to type 'X'

  The actual projects structure is: + MyServerFramework |---QueryComponent.cs ... + MyServerFramework.Design |---QueryComponentDesigner.cs ... The MyServerFramework.Design project has a reference to MyServerFramework, and is compiled alone in its own solution which also contains MyServerFramework, and then placed in a folder that is referenced the SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AssemblyFolders key so the IDE can find it. The MyServerFramework project is then used in other solutions which don't contain the MyServerFramework.Design assembly. And here is where I'm seeing this error. This happens in the following line, which is in the verb handler in QueryComponentDesigner: QueryBuildStorProcDialog dlg = n ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sharepoint design Question

  Hi, We are going to implement Sharepoint 2007. Over the point we are thinking about having 2 Sharepoint 2007 server. One for intranet and internal stuff and the other for the website and extranet. My question is how much flexible sharepoint 2007 is in terms of design and customization. Can we do asp.net programming and AJAX with it or is that functionality disabled. I might sound a bit stupid but the last time I checked Sharepoint 2003 with asp and i was trying to use Includes, it didn't work. Also since sharepoint 2007 have great content management, would it be a good idea to use it for websites as we might have to develop about 3-4 websites. Last but not the least Can we change the design and give the main sites the feel like any ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is ExceptionValidationRule broken?

  When I try to bind a tooltip to a custom exception thrown in a setter of a business object (picked up by a ExceptionValidationRule), the binding shows: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".. instead of "age must be between 0 and 100" or something like that! Reflector shows the ExceptionValidationRule explicitly throwing the NotSupportedException in its ValidationResult. Is this the correct behaviour Graeme Just been shown a way to get this working using a UpdateSourceExceptionFilterCallback that is applied to the binding that may be throwing argument exceptions. The filter looks for the NotSupportedException and takes the InnerException if found. Feels like a very ...Show All

• .NET Development InfoTip Help!

  I am attempting to create an InfoTip extension in C#. I have looked in many different places and have come up realtively emptyhanded. First off I am wondering if I have it registered correctly (.usc is the extension I want the tooltip to show under) the Default value of HKCR\.usc\shellex\{00021500-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}is the GUID of my class. From the documentation in MSDN I think this is correct. Second I wanted to know if my interface definitions are correct: [ComImport, Guid("0000010b-0000-0000-C000-000000000046"), InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIUnknown)] public interface IPersistFile { void GetClassID(out Guid pClassID); [PreserveSig] int IsDirty(); [PreserveSig] void Load([In, M ...Show All
