• Visual Studio SwimLane as custom parent

  Hi, I have two unmapped swimlanes. When I add modelelements to these swimlanes via the toolbox items, I override the method ChooseParentShape as follows: public override ShapeElement ChooseParentShape( ShapeElement childShape) { switch (childShape.GetType().Name) { case "ServiceModelComponentShape" : return this .ServiceModelComponentLane; case "ServiceContractShape" : return this .ServiceContractLane; default : return base .ChooseParentShape(childShape); } } All works well until I reopen the diagram, I get following exception "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." during the ElementAdded method of the FixupDiagram class. ...Show All

• .NET Development Sort method acts as I hope

• .NET Development C# + Access Database Problem

  Here's my issue. I have a program in C# that creates and track help desk PC tickets.It saves and loads data from an Access database that I created. Everything works great, but I have recently decided that I need to add some more things like the ability to input the date that the customer was called on the form as well. So what I am trying to do is create another couple of colums in the already exsiting database using Access, then create textboxes on the form and have them link to the new colums in the database. The best I have got so far is to create a new database, but I don't want to have to retool the entire form all over again if I can help it. So, my question is, simply put, is there any way to update a Access database already in use ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Timers not triggering in "resuming" power management mode

  My application relies on some timers which have to trigger when expected. I noticed that when the device is in resuming mode, the timers are not being triggered correctly. After some more investigations I think that there should be a "device" that handles this, since in other power management states (like "unattended"), this thing doesn't happen. Does anyone know which is the device on which I have to call SetPowerRequirement ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Not able to reference to custom control in another dll (RC1)

  After installing RC1 I am not able to initialize custom controls created in another project even by using mlns:customControls="clr-namespace:XYF.Controls.WPF;assembly=XYF.Controls.WPF", although on I can add the same control via code behind but in Xmal it pukes. Also in the xaml if I am creating a name of panel using name="XYX" I am not able to reference them in code behind. Any ideas why it is happening. Thanks Atul Wait, can you compile the project, or is it just the editor that's saying that things can't be found The editor hasn't been able to properly resolve types out of the generic xaml namespaces as far as I can remember, so it underlines them and says tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Deploying LanguageService ColorableItems on customers machine

  Hello, We have created our own entries for text colorizers for our language service. All of this works fine and shows up in the "fonts and colors" area of Tools->Options from development machines. This is because we have the ability to reset our experimental hive, so it will see our changes. From our experimenting, we have found that doing a "devenv.com /setup" will register our items on the target machine after doing the install. However, this command has been known in the past to "turf" a users settings for the entire environment. Is there a better possible less destructive way to make sure our colorizers show up in tools/options kind of along the same line as "devenv.com /installvstemplate ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development When is ready picture in pixelbuffer

  Is it posible to check for a moment, when the picture is loaded to the pixel buffer and when can i start animation in script At the moment i am using a timer and for a short time waiting, but this is not an exact method. The presentation engine is not allowed to display a "partially decoded" resource, so it won't update the display until the image is decoded. Depending on the player, it may keep processing application ticks during that time, or it may not (off the top of my head I don't know if the spec says either one is required). One option is to set yourself a 0-frame timeout in script so that you will be called back on the next available tick; if the player stalls waiting for the image to load, this will work since ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Create New tables in existing DBC in specified directory or path

  I have never used Foxpro before until now. I am able to create a set of stored procedures to create two new tables from existing tables for reporting purposes in a DBC. I am using Visual FoxPro 9.0 for working. What I am trying to achieve: I want the client to execute a stored procedure which will create the two new tables in the same directory (or path where this database currently resides). Issue: The tables are generated successfully but the physical files reside in the wrong path. For example: there is a DBC in Z:\DATA\ABC\ and all the tables are in this path. I want to create the two new tables for this database and make sure the physical files are created under the same folder. Attempted: I have been able to get the client t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Basic Express edition 2005 freezes during setup.
