• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Item Activation in ListView

  Hi, I was hoping for some kind of ItemActivated event in the ListView class, but cannot see one. I want to be able to detect users double-clicking or otherwise activating an item in the list view. What is the simplest way to achieve this I tried the ListView.MouseDoubleClicked event but that of course fires anywhere in the ListView. There is the ListViewItem.MouseDoubleClicked event but that only works for double-clicking, not for pressing enter on a selected item. Thanks, Kent Boogaart Hi Rei, Ironically, you posted that right as I was finishing a post for my blog: http://kentb.blogspot.com/2006/12/listviewitemactivated-event-in-wpf.html I believe my solution to be a little cleaner as it ...Show All

• .NET Development NetworkStream.Send doesn't throw exception on disconnect

  The problem in brief: When I pull out the network cable on a PC with the client app, the appropriate exception, on the server app, gets thrown on NetworkStream.EndReceive() and NOT on NetworkStream.Write or EndWrite(). Some more detail. I've done a fair amount of research on this topic. I understand that the only way for TCP to know that one side of the connection has failed at a low level, (i.e. hardware failure or perhaps below level 4 in the OSI model), is for several packets to go un-acked when one side sends some data. I understand that retransmission timeouts get progressively larger, and that by default, Windows sends 5 retries. In my case, I'm using NetworkStream.Write() and NetworkStream.BeginReceive() and EndReceive(). Everything ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions SQL Question

  I have a few question about SQL. I'm used to MySQL and PHP to start off. Now I went along with Video Tutorials and Help that I saw on the VBEE Start Page.

How can I connect to a Network Database. And links to tutorials would help Thanks, Wellnow To connect to a SQL-Database in a Network it's pretty easy.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Device is being used by a thread other than the creation thread.

  Hi, My engine design is to create the Dx device and manage lost devices on the same thread, and to handle all resources operations and draw calls on another one. The application is responsible for all synchronizations between the two threads and ensure that no race condition could occur. Given that, D3DCREATE_MULTITHREADED flag is not needed because resources are always created, locked and used on the same single thread. So why is DirectX debug version sending me few warning messages "Device is being used by a thread other than the creation thread" on every Dx calls Is there something wrong in my design Thanks Guillaume >>A warning is just that, a warning. I totally agree. The ...Show All

• SQL Server Reports behind a domain with SSL

  Greetings, SSL was recently applied to the domain the reports are behind. I have been trying to get the "unsecure dialog" to not appear when viewing a RS report. The report is embeded in a div tag in the aspx page. When accessing the site via https everything still works, if left unchanged, except the "unsecure content" dialog is displayed before the report renders. When I change the URL of the div tag to https:\\<RSSERVER>\<REPORTCOMMAND>, I get the following error: "Content was blocked because it was not signed by a valid security certificate." Anyone know what I need to do to make this work http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345223.aspx needs to be followed. ...Show All

• .NET Development Performance: Passing large arrays from .NET to COM components

  Hi, I am working on a COM component in C++ that will be used by .NET clients. Clients frequently pass large arrays of points in Cartesian coordinates (i.e. XYZs) to the component. I'd like to know the most efficient way to do this. My tests show conformant arrays are ~7 times faster than safearrays. Safearrays were ~6 faster than sending the array's data one point at a time. So I'd like to use conformant arrays, but I want to make sure they are "safe." Here is my IDL struct Vec3 { double x; double y; double z; }; HRESULT SendData ( [ in ] int numPts, [ in , size_is (numPts)] struct Vec3 pts[]); And it is called from C# with code like this: GCHandle gcHandle = GCHandle ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista will localiztion verison also get vista Logo ?

  Hi , I have a question. If our english version application got Vista Logo, should localization version with the same version need to got it again , or it also can applied the logo of english thanks you My understanding: If it is the same product and a patch is created in minor upgrades then retesting is not required. If it is a different product and/or major upgrade with new components then recertification would be required on the new components. I will confirm this because I heard this not from the actuall Logo team and will confirm with them. But for now this gives you some idea of how it most likely works. ...Show All
