• Smart Device Development working with threads - novice

  Hi, I'm new to this forum but I hope I posted inthe right section. I'm kind of new to C# so please be patient with me :) I'm tring to save my path (gps coordinates from my asus a636) to a kml file as part of a bigger project. I managed to save my present location but now I want to save a set of coordinates. I have 2 buttons for this task: startRecord - should start the while that writes to file the coordinates, and saveTrack - should stop the while. I have the following code for the save part. The problem is the WHILE. When in starts it never stops. Being kind of new to c# I searched and found that the problem is that the WHILE should be on a separate thread. Is this the solution If so...could you show me how to plac ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem mapping OutlineNumber

  I am trying to recreate the MSProject hierarchy in TFS. For that reason I want to map OutlineNumber to a TFS field of type string. However, when I add that mapping to TFS, I cannot create work items in Project anymore. When I select a certain work item (which has the mapped field) in Project and I leave the cell, the value I selected disappears. When I remove the OutlineNUmber mapping, there is no problem anymore. So, I know where the problem is, but I don't know where to find the solution. Surely, it must be possible to map OutlineNumber which is just a string to a string field in TFS String field types are not supported in the outline fields in Project. Only TreePath is supported. You can get more information at http://msdn2.mi ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) KnownType attribute being ignored on service implementation?

  Hi, [AttributeUsageAttribute(AttributeTargets.Class|AttributeTargets.Struct, Inherited= true , AllowMultiple= true )] public sealed class KnownTypeAttribute : Attribute I added a couple known types to the class that implements my service interface. When I generate the proxies, there are no proxies created for the specified types. To get the proxies on the client, I had to add the attribute to the base class from which the types derrive. ( The service method accepts the base type as it's argument ) Is this normal If you're working with interfaces, simply use the [ServiceKnownType] attribute. I can't at the moment recall what the actual difference is between the two, but I know that I used [ ...Show All
