• Audio and Video Development XPath spec issue -- iHDSim/player compatibility

  Identifying the following issue took hours... for the XPath/spec gurus, any idea why I get this behavior Who's "to spec" and who isn't This works in iHDSim but crashes the Toshiba player (directly from your blog, Peter!): <cue begin="//button[state:focused() and count(//button[style:opacity()='1'])=0]" end="defaultNode()[state:focused()=false()]"> <set style:opacity="1"/> </cue> However, with this minor modification (or workaround, as the case may be) the player now works fine: <cue begin="//button[state:focused() and count( class('overlay') [style:opacity()='1'])=0]" end="defaultNode()[state:focused()=false()]"> <set style:opacity="1" ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying to return DISTINCT COLUMN data with varying information

  I'm trying to find the best way to return distinct data from a column (Message). The problem is that the messages are not distinct. Ex. Message1 - An unhandled exception occurred type 123456 Message2 - An unhandled exception occurred type 346742 Both of these messages are being returned since they are not unique. Now I was thinking about doing a character length and dropping the message after x number of chars, however, there are other issues like the unique data in the message isn't always in the same location. Any ideas of how to query this would be much appreciated. You can easily do a distinct based on a substring... for example, if you wanted to do something like: select distinct substring(Message, 1 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Drag and Drop in the Same TreeView

  Hi, Iam trying to move nodes in a Treeview using Drag and Drop on the same treeview. When i try none of the Events Like Drop, DragOver get fired. When i try to drag an item from Explorer etc and try to drop it in the TreeView the events are fired ie drag and drop from an external source works fine but when the source is same as the target the events dont get raised. I will like anyone to guide me on how to drag and drop in the same TreeView. Actually, I have found a solution to be to start the DragDrop with SelectedItem in MouseMove when button found pressed. Then when drop, use DataObject from FrameworkElement.DataContext as target object. http://blogs.infosupport.com/blogs/willemm/archive/2007/06/11/Implementing-Simple-drag ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Remote Connection

  Got into a little hot water with this one. I finally moved into a laptop. I used to work on my app on my desktop, which is where the SQL Server resides. Any how when I moved to my laptop I ran into a little snag, I can not specify the database to SQL on the desktop.

Can you work with a remote database file What am I doing w ...Show All

  Hello, I am trying to host DynamicPropertiesActivity (the one available at http://blogs.msdn.com/ghenap/default.aspx ) inside the Designer Rehosting sample application (presented by Vihang Dalal). The problem I am experiencing is that added dynamic properties do not appear in the property grid. Anyone solved this issue Thanks in advance Edmundas I, too, am interested in a solution to this. I did notice that if you save to an xoml file and then load the file, the DynamicProperties do appear in the property grid. So I am focusing on the differences between adding elements to the collection via serialization and via the dialog. Glenn ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Hosting Multiple Services

  Hi, First, I want to host over 50 different services each with a seperate interface, how can i do that in WCF using the same endpoint and the same service host. Second, can a service dynamically add a service to be hosted, for example lets say i have created a new service is there a way i can dynamically host this service without recompiling the service host code. Ok, how can i do that especially that when you create a service host it asks for an object or Type of the service that will be used. This is mainly tightly built around the service i want to publish. Secondaly, in the endpoint section in the config file you also define one contract (interface) how can i define multiple ServiceContracts each with its own implementa ...Show All
