• Smart Device Development Draw nice line Compact Framework

  I want to draw some lines and basic shapes on screen in Compact Framework. I've used the Graphics class and a bitmap, and then added the bitmap to a picturebox. The problem is the lines look like *** when they are not going straight up or to the side, and by *** I mean that it looks like stairs. Anyone know how I can fix this problem Something like this: ScreenBitmap = new Bitmap (640,480); DrawImageGraphics = Graphics .FromImage(ScreenBitmap); Point[] PointsToDraw= new Point[5]; PointsToDraw[0]=new Point(0,0); PointsToDraw[1]=new Point(50,100); PointsToDraw[2]=new Point(300,200); PointsToDraw[3]=new Point(340,10); PointsToDraw[4]= PointsToDraw[0]; ...Show All

• Architecture UIPAB - Open Navigation - Strongly typed state class

  Hi All, I am trying to implement strongly typed state class in UIPAB. In Graph navigation I am able to achieve the same.

How can we have individual state class for every open navigation views Is this possible or is it a limitation in UIPAB Thanks Niranjan ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Metod call authentication

  Hi all! I need some Principal / Identity guidelines. I'm about to design a business/data layer (of a small application) using WCF. The user will have to login with a username and a password that will be checked against information in a database. The user will also be assigned different roles depending on what the database says. The clinet will be a winforms app and (as I said) the business/data tier will be a WCF-service. So, let's say there is one login method in my WCF service looking something like this: public GenericPrincipal Login(string name, string password) { ... } The client application will start off by asking the user for a name and a password and call the above method. A GenericPrincipal will be returned telling wh ...Show All

• Visual C# passing an event to a Compossite control

  How I can pass an event to a compossite control Is it that you’ve got a control on your composite control (aka user control) and you want events raised by it to be also visible by the users of the user control If that is the case... you’ve got two main options, you can either make the internal control (of the user control) publicly accessible to users of the user control so that external code can register for events directly with the source... this method generally isn’t preferred as it exposes too much information. The ideal solution would be something where you create a little code stub that looks like the SelectedIndexChanged event... but is part of the parent control and when adding/removing even ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build a WIQL query on iteration paths

  Hi,   In our team projects we always use the same standard iteration paths. So we came to the idea to build a query which shows i.e. all work items associated with a certain iteration. As this query should be executable for all projects, my idea was the following: SELECT [System.Id], [System.Title] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @project   AND   [System.IterationPath] UNDER @project\iteration X   Unfortunatly this WIQ does not work. There is an "expected end of string" error on executing the query. I guess it's because of the "@project" in the iteration path. Can anybody explain how such queries will work   Thanks,   DaFi   ...Show All
