• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListViewItem w/Context Menu

  I hope this isnt a dumb question, but I'm hoping someone can help me understand the expected behavior of right-click in a ListView. Here is the problem: If you have a context menu on a ListView in Multiple or Extended selection mode a right click to bring up the context menu will toggle the selection. I have mocked up a small repro using the ListViewCheckBox example in the SDK. I've inlcuded the modified XAML and the unchanged codebehind. All I did was add a contextmenu to the listviewitem. How to repro: 1. Select Multiple items 2. Right click on a selected item to bring up the context menu. This action will toggle the selection to unselected. The item is no longer viewable in your collection. Based on my observations the WP ...Show All

  Hi, i've added a .xml file to my xna project for windows, i've set it to be an embedded resource, how i can i them read the file n e attempt i make seems to try to read a file from the hdd or from a url many thanks You need to use the System.Resources.ResourceManager class. For example, System.Resources. ResourceManager temp = System.Resources. ResourceManager ( "MyGame1.Properties.Resources" , typeof ( Resources ).Assembly); object obj = ResourceManager.GetObject( "foo" , resourceCulture); byte [] myFileCalledFoo = (( byte [])(obj)); Since you embedded an XML file, it was probably embedded as a string rather than an unknown file (which is byte[]).

• Smart Device Development Will different network providers affect my codebase

  hi, This is query regarding different network providers for the devices If I am targetting motorola Q device, which is available with Alltel, Sprint, Verizon Wireless. What guidelines i need to follow to support all of these. Or there is no issues with different carriars. thanks in advance Rashmi Todkar There should be no differences with different carriers when writing a NETCF program if the device is properly configured to connect to the appropriate network. In general, you can test this by seeing if you can hit the server that you want to access through the browser. If this works then your NETCF program should also work. Thanks, Sandy ...Show All

• Visual Basic Same Settings for all USERS

  Hi. My question concerns settings class. I have a application in which i need to get/change/store settings for all users during runtime. If one user changes a setting then that setting should be changed for all users.   Is there anyway to make settings apply to all users The users working with the app, all have their own useraccounts in win. Kind Regards Alex  I concur. This is an annoying little problem for our current project. We have application wide settings that we do not want any of our users going into the app.exe.config file to change. We want to give them an interface to control all access to these settings. But it seems as though MS has taken this control away from us as well. I do not und ...Show All
