• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can't get Image Source property to work.

  Hi, I don't seem to be able to load images in WPF using the <Image Source="myImage.bmp"/> xaml syntax. I have tried using the images as both resources and content and as neither. I have read everything I can find on the matter and no-one else seems to be having this trouble. This is even happening with sample code that I haven't modified. As an example: When I try to compile the code for the WPF sample called wordgame1 and then click on the design window I get an error message saying "Images\Start.Gif" cannot be assigned to "Source". The offending line is < Image Source = " Images\Start.gif " Height = " 300 " Width = " 300 " HorizontalAlignment = " Cent ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to create a windows service property sheet

  Hi I would like to create a property page that could be merged into an existing property sheet to provide customization inputs for users for a Windows service we are developing. Can anyone point me to an example of how to do this in C++ I am creating a windows service which has dynamic parameters that the user can change. Instead of creating an administration application I would like to include the parameters in a property page and have it merged with the default property pages provided by the windows service control manager. Microsoft does this same sort of thing with their SNMP service in XP. If you look at the properties of this service you will see extra tabbed pages that contain configuration parameters that the u ...Show All

• Visual C# Need help with .Split()

  I've actually got two situations with this method. The first is with the .Split command. It works with the majority of the names it's passed but a few are not being processed correctly. For instance, the majority of the name fields entering this routine look like this: Holt, James; however, a few look like this: Harden, Jr.,James, which the .Split doesn't process. I've tried several configurations, {' ', ',', '.'} for example and still nothing. The configuration shown below is the last attempt. The second problem I'm encountering is an indexing error. When I click on a name in the Tree, then click on a letter above the name I get this error: "Index was outside the bounds of the array." The tree looks like this when th ...Show All

• .NET Development DataSet problem

  Hi, I found some really interesting problem and I don't understand it. As you can see in the documentation, DataSet class is a descandant of the IListSource interface. This interface has the System.Collections. IList GetList() member. But if you try to compile this code: DataSet ds=new DataSet(); IList iL= ds.GetList(); you get this error: 'System.Data.DataSet' does not contain a definition for 'GetList' How can this be Hi, As Ilya shown above the IListSource interface can be accessed by casting the dataset to the interface. GetList is not available directly because the Dataset class implements IListSource explicitly. From msdn: A class that implements an interface can ...Show All

• Visual Basic need help saving a print image

  In my program I have a print routine that prints one or more graphics pages using the PrintPage event. This works fine with print preview, page setup and all the normal things. Now I want to add the capability to create and save a bitmap of the print image instead of printing to the printer. Clearly, all the code is in place to create the print image, I just need to save it. It does not make sense to me to make a bitmap from the screen. But how do I create a bitmap from the PrintPage event Ryn, According to your description, I will give you’re a piece of code sample and an article which will help you. The following example prints the file that is specified through the command line to the default printer. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Licensing Question

  Hi I have read the Licensing document on Team System and it says you do not need CALs for accessing the Team Project Site (WSS) on TFS. So if I host a Web App, hosted on the Server same as TFS, that interacts with TFS for creating Work Items and customizing Workflows etc. and if there are users accessing it from Intranet I don't need CAL for those users! right Please clarify According to Rob Caron's post in this  thread, any user who accesses the TFS data in an automated fashion requires a CAL. Hope this helps- Cheers, Adam ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF and C++ integration tool.

• SQL Server CLR test script SELECT returns no row data

  Hi, The test.sql scripts I write to test CLR stored procedures run successfully, but when I want to display the resulting data in the database with a simple "SELECT * from Employee" I get the result as: Name Address ---- ------- No rows affected. (1 row(s) returned) But not the actual row is displayed whereas I would expect to see something like: Name Address ---- ------- John Doe No rows affected. (1 row(s) returned) I have another database project where doing the same thing displays the row information but there doesn't seem to be a lot different between the two. Why no results in first case Thanks, Bahadir You maybe still have the ...Show All

  Hello, i have a problem rotating an ellipse. In previous versions of .NET I rotated them using Graphics, but i couldn't find an example, how to do it in WPF. (Only some XAML examples). Maybe the solution is really simple, but it's late here. :-) Thanks.

I want to rotate it during runtime (some C# code). ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sort with gridview

  Hello, I have been trying to get this to work now for 2 days and I must be missing something cause I don’t think it should be this hard. I have a gridview that I fill without using a datasourceid.

• Visual Basic Decimal separator and other strange questions

  Hello, everyone, I've found several threads about decimal separator, but I couldn't figure out what to do with that info. I'm new to Visual Basic, but I have some basic knowledge of it, also a basic knowledge of C++ and a very good understanding of Actionscript. My friend has to write a thesis and he asked me to create an application to calculate something that has to do with quaternions. The user has to input 8 values and then the user has to press a button, so that a result is presented in a textbox by using a formula. Everything is going great, but I'm hoping on the good working of my friend. But now I want to make sure, that he can input nothing but numeric characters and that the decimal numbers are placed behind a comma. I have no id ...Show All
