• Windows Forms Custom control, creating a border when the Auto scroll is on.

  I've created my own custom control, i'm trying to set the border using the ControlPaint class, however because of the scroll bar i have two problems. 1) When i scroll the border moves with it. (I think i could work this one out) 2) The border does not encompass the scroll bars. 3) The controls in my control seem to be above my border (something to do with z-order ) and so only part of the border display's Is there an easy answer to this Here is the code i've used (in the paint event) Graphics myGraphics = this .CreateGraphics(); ControlPaint .DrawBorder(myGraphics, new Rectangle (0,0, this .Width, this .Height), Color .Black, ButtonBorderStyle .Solid); myGraphics.Dispose(); ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Is there any way to figure out the width of text in WPF/E?

  I've been trying to figure out a way to get the width of a TextBlock in WPF/E. <TextBlock x:Name="tickerText1" Canvas.Top="3" Canvas.Left="0" FontSize="12" Foreground="#FF5A5A5A" Text=" How wide am I " /> I dynamically change the text within the textblock using Javascript, but I have to get the width so I can append things to the end. I have seen comments in the WPF world to use Graphics.MeasureString, but: 1) That is not a static method. 2) I don't have access to a PaintEventArgs since WPF/E does not have a CLR yet. "The following code example is designed for use with Windows Forms, and it requires PaintEventArgs e , which is a parameter of the Paint event handler.& ...Show All

• .NET Development C# xpathnavigator: how to retrieve element names

  Hello, At the risk of being criticized for not comprehending reference materials I will ask one last question, then I’m going to take the brute force method and write a parsing routine of my own in C# since I can’t seem to get XSLT or the built-in C# features for processing XML to work to my satisfaction. After reading and re-reading all the information you people have provided I’ve decided to use xpathnavigator in my C# program. Here’s some code: string XMLquery = @"/df:xtvd/df:programs/df:program[df:title='NOW']/df:title" ; try { XPathExpression query = xPath.Compile(XMLquery); XmlNamespaceManager manager = new XmlNamespaceManager (xPath.NameTable); ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies xp files & transfer settings problem

  Hi, I had a problem with my PC and I basically had to reformat and then reinstall xp and the other pre-installed software. I used the files and transfer settings wizard to copy my stuff onto the desktop. I then burnt the dat files onto 3 dvds ready to transfer after the computer was reformatted etc. Anyway, the reformat and reinstallation was all smooth. I opened up the transfer files & settings to copy the old stuff to my new pc. However it keeps coming up with the following: "The location you specified does not contain stored information. Please type a valid path into the edit box. If you entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive." I have tried copying the files into the USMT. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums How to iterate an ArrayOfAdCenterAccount and/or an ArrayOfAdCenterCampaign?

  Hi there, I am wondering how I can iterate such types of objects. I need to get all my accounts and for each of those accounts, retrieve all the campaigns and ask for a keyword performance report. It is nice to have get an ArrayOfAdCenterAccount but I don't see any method to get the size of this array or how I can instanciate an iterator over this array in order to get all the account ids. The same for the ArrayOfAddCenterCampaign. From an AdCenterAccount, I can retrieve the ArrayOfAddCenterCampaign. But for getting a keyword performance report of these campaigns, I have specify an ArrayOfInt with the campaign ids. Once again, how do I instanciate an ArrayOfInt from the ArrayOfAdCenterCampaign Did I miss a point or are such methods not a ...Show All

• SQL Server Why is TOP executed last?

  Hi. I have a complex SELECT query with a few joins and some millions of rows to deal with. However, I only need one (and any) result, so I added a TOP 1 clause. When I look at the query plan with Query Analyser, I see the TOP action last. The impression I get is that the query is analysing the whole of the results before poping me the first. Is this right What I'd expect it to do is to stop as soon as it has a single result. Is it possible to enforce this type of behavior Thanks in advance Carlos GlennAlanBerry wrote: If you don't really care what you get back, you can try using TABLESAMPLE to dramatically reduce the required IO.
