• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Expression Blend WPF WPF/E confusion

  I have downloaded and done the tutorials for expression blend. I have it integrated (lack of better terminology) with visual studio etc so I can create an EXE with a WPF UI. What got me excited though was a channel 9 interview which I cannot seem to find that spoke of WPF/E being a Flash type technology for the Web with a limited .net framework enabling you to code behing WPF/E in your .net language of choice. This was really exciting to me as I have been toying with Adobe Flex to create a web 2.0 UI and really did not want to have to learn action script. I therefore grabbed the WPF/E SDK to find that it's xaml tags seem different to what expression blend creates and uses and therefore xaml from expression blend will not run in the bro ...Show All

• Windows Forms Threading Problem

  Hi I have a winforms application which does some database processing and updates a progress bar. As it does the processing, it also writes to a log file using log4net. I would like to add a Multiline text box to the application which can be used to display the a "tail" of the log file. How can I do this You are accessing form controls in a secondary thread. That's a big no-no and will cause the kind of problems you describe. It looks like you're using VS2005, you probably set CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls to false somewhere in your code. Remove that statement. Check out the BackgroundWorker class in the MSDN library, it has excellent documentation. ...Show All

• SQL Server TRUSTWORTHY databases and UNSAFE assemblies

  To set up a managed sproc to act as a WSE 3.0 web service client I had to register the following .Net DLLs as UNSAFE assemblies: System.Configuration.Install.dll System.Web.dll Microsoft.Web.Services3.dll In order to register UNSAFE assemblies I had to set the database's TRUSTWORTHY property to 'true'.

• Visual Studio Team System SQL Server Barfing on TS project Creation

  I have tried several times to create a project using TFS. Each time, I have gotten errors similar to the one below. I've followed the tutorials/directions given for setting up a TFS admin account, but for some reason, I am still not able to create a new project.
