• Visual Studio The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode

  I have only one window open and it is a vb document. I never use design mode for anything (with exception to SOME windows GUI interfaces... but none in this project). IF I am not in design mode... and ONLY use text editors... how can I get this message: The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode. Is this a MSFT BUG or is there a way to be in design mode without actually using the designer, attempting to engage it, or actually using anything non-text to write a program Your name sounds very familiar... a while ago I saw a product Q&A Session for new features in VB .NET 2.0 (I can never find the same thing twice on the microsoft site... don't know why). Is that where I might have seen your name ...Show All

  Hi, I'm trying to put the odd rows in gray and the even rows in white in a Listview, I found a similar sample, but it was done with a list box and the style triggers where data triggers. Is there a way to have a conditional trigger with "If row%2 = 0" then Background="gray" or am I forced to do it dynamically in the code The sample is: < Style TargetType = " {x:Type ListBoxItem} " > < Style.Triggers > < DataTrigger Binding = " {Binding Path=State} " Value = " WA " > < Setter Property = " Foreground " Value = " Red " /> </ DataTrigger > < MultiDataTrigger > < MultiDataTrigger.Conditions > & ...Show All

• Smart Device Development which connection is the active connection?

  Hi, I am using the connection monitor application block in my project. In this block, the ConnectionMonitor class has properties called ActiveNetwork and ActiveConnection. It seems like that when a new connection is discovered, the state changed event is fired, so if the connection was DTPT and later Wifi is turned on, the active connection would become wifi (and vice versa) Is this the expected behaviour Does this active connection agree with the connection used by the OS i.e. In the above scenerio, if I open a TCP/IP socket to an ip address, and the active connection is Wifi, would the socket go through Wifi (even though DTPT was there first) Tim This forum is intended to deal with issues directly rela ...Show All

• .NET Development -Using Sproc to insert rows in the DB and the Sproc returns identity columns to my dataset

  If we use sqdataadapter to insert data from a datatable into a table in the database using an SPROC. The Sproc also returns the identity column values that are created by the database. If those identity columns are called “IDcolumn” in the physical DB but in my dataset I call them “MyIdentity”. So IDcolumn is an output of my SProc I use : Pm.Direction= ParameterDirection.Output Then I use pm.SourceColumn property : Should I use IDcolumn” or “MyIdentity” Like this: Pm.sourcecolumn=”IDcolumn” or like this: Pm.sourcecolumn=” MyIdentity” Thank you No, it's always the column name in datatable/dataset. In the above scenario, it would be Pm.sourcecolumn=” MyIdentity” ...Show All

• .NET Development How to make global data thread safe ? Please Help...

  Hi friends, I seem to be stuck in a peculiar problem. I have a public static class with public static members (different array lists). The members are thus global in nature and accessible across the namespace. I have a worker function which is called asynchronously (so that there are several instances running per second) and which reads the different global members at different points of execution (not the entire set at any one point). I have a writer function which is used to set the global members and this is the only one in the application writing to these variables. It will write the entire set of globals when given control through a GUI event. I need a mechanism where if one instance of worker function is accessing any ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get 64-bit MIDL files to work right?

  I have an IDL file that I wrote that builds and runs fine.  Now, we have a requirement to make our server run on 64-bit.  According to the MIDL compiler docs: "Use the /env win64 switch to generate 64-bit stubs only. The default is to generate dual stubs that run on both platforms." However, I do not find that to be true.  If I specify /env win64, I get 64-bit stubs.  But, if I don't specify anything, I do not get dual stubs, I get 32-bit stubs that have this: #if !defined(_M_IA64) && !defined(_M_AMD64) So, they won't build 64-bit. Help! We ran "MIDL /app_config xxx.idl" for the 32-bit files and then "MIDL /app_config /x64 xxx.idl" for the 64-bit files. ...Show All

• SQL Server DMX vs Visual Studio

  Hi Are there any (important ) advantages of using data mining through DMX instead of Visual Studio 2005 on the SQL server 2005 /Dennis DMX is the only solution for querying the mining models, and BI Dev Studio also uses DMX in the prediction query builder. In general, as far as mining object manipulation is concerned, DMX and the XMLA-based Analysis Services Scripting Language (aka DDL or ASSL), the script used by BI Dev Studio, have similar features. There are a few differences, however, mostly deriving from the fact that DMX is designed as an extension for SQL, for application developers and, therefore, it is more concise (so that it can be embedded or generated by applications). ...Show All
