• Software Development for Windows Vista Printing Documents with Windows Vista

  I have a Lexmark X6170. They do NOT have Windows Vista Drivers, but I want to print something... I tried installing Windows XP Drivers using a compatibility setting of XP... Didn't work. I tried using Virtual PC 2007 Beta, but it doesn't support USB, therefore no printing support. I also tried making the printer a network compatible thing, but it doesn't work. The printer itself isn't found on the Virtual PC 2007 Beta. Anyway to print using Vista Hello All. nyforever: Well, buy a new printer Don't you just love OS upgrades Seriously though, if Lex doesn't have Vista-capable drivers, unfortunately you're probably out of luck. You might try and get ahold of Lex's tech support line and ask them ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WaitForSingleObject alwasy Object_0

  I have a case where my WaitForSingleObject is used by the root thread and Some other thread started by this root thread signals the Event object which WaitForSingleObject is waiting for. But the WaitForSingleObject seems always signaled regardles of the SetEvent function of the child thread. I have tried Manual or Auto Reset and the case is always the same and my Event is started as Non-signaled. Well sometime programming so dense is digging out my brain. I solved my problem But I want to share my experience Never give the same name to the Events that are created with CreateEvent that easy isnt it. Well sometimes jumping those little details puts you in trouble. The effect of CreatingEvents with the same name for different Object ...Show All

Like this: protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute(ActivityExecutionContext executionContext) { foreach (Activity activity in this.EnabledActivities) { if (activity is ControlFlow.ControlActivity) { ControlActivity controlActivity = (ControlActivity)activity; controlActivity.Closed += new EventHandler<ActivityExecutionStatusChangedEventArgs>(controlA ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) 3d

  is there a simple xaml sample of getting started in 3d, I do not want to use any 3d software to output the 3d. A simple box shape and camera viewport would do for starters. Any urls or demos, just cant find any googling it. Richard You probably want to head over to the WPF forums, since 3D isn't supported by the current version of WPF/E. However, I found this blog post to be a good intro to 3D in WPF: http://blogs.msdn.com/danlehen/archive/2005/11/06/489627.aspx ...Show All
