• Software Development for Windows Vista Hiding the error icon in Workflow Design Surface

  Hi! I would like to use the WorkflowDesigner Control (see Sample Hosting Workflow Designer) to show the user the workflow. Since workflows have sometimes errors in it, a red error icon appears in the right upper edge of a state activity for example. I would like to hide those icons generally. Does anybody know how to achieve this Thanks! Gerald Hi! Thanks for your reply. No matter where I try to put this in my code, I get the following InvalidOperationException: Theme properties can only be changed in the Theme Configuration Dialog. But if I create a new WorkflowTheme and set the ShowConfigErrors to false, it is working! WorkflowTheme customWorkflowTheme = new WorkflowTheme (); ...Show All

• Smart Device Development MSMQ Over http in .net cf 2.0

  Hi, I am trying to use msmq over http (or srmp) in a smart device application (.net cf). I have been able to send messages over http in a desktop application ,but I am not able to do the same in .net cf. Is msmq over http supported in .net cf 2.0 For Windows Server 2003 I had to install a msmq over http component , is there something similar that needs to be done on the device/emulator Am I missing something here Thanks, Deepthi Hi, I am trying to send messages using msmq over http.

• Visual Studio Creating solution folders which do not appear on disk

  Is there a way I can create true VS2005 solution folders using the GAT - i.e. the folders are virtual and appear in the solution but do not appear on disk The .vstemplate for solutions says that using the <SolutionFolder> element will create a disk folder too and I really don't want that to happen. We are hitting the 260 char command prompt limits of MSBuild and so are having to trim some characters from our directory path structure but we don't want to loose the visible categorisation of projects within the solution shown in VS2005. Thanks, Sara Hi Sara, I don't think you could avoid the physical folder creation using .vstemplates. I know you can if you use DTE for creating them instead. ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Script Error

  Hi, This problem has always been bugging me. When I sign into my user account and open up User Accounts in control panel I don't have any problems but when I go to any other user account and do this, no matter if they are computer admins or not, they encounter an IE script error with no description and this popup does not go away whether you click yes or no. It's not just the User Accounts menu in the control panel, it's other applications too. Is there a fix for this problem or any ideas I have already disabled script debugging in IE. I also disable the alerts for script errors in IE too. Same issues!  We use Windows XP Media Center Ed.  Those issues only occur on my Wife's login ... mine works fine.  To futher that, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how to access attached dp through UIElement (on panel for instance)

  I've built a panel that uses some extra information for the layout of a child. That extra information is bound on the datatemplate through an attached property. During the measurements, I would like to access that information. The only thing I have access to is the Children collection which holds items of type UIElement. I would have expected the attached property to return a correct value, but it does not. This must be a common scenario. Is there any way I can get from an UIElement to the actual item Okay, that was it. Getting to the object that indeed had the DP set: DependencyObject o = VisualTreeHelper .GetChild(uie, 0); Thanks! ...Show All

• .NET Development A design problem

  Hello, I'm currently writing a part of an application which must translate a sequence of bytes (read from a network connection) according to its structure. The whole sequence is considered as a unique value, except for the first 2 bytes which identify the type of the value (numeric, string, or structured), and how the value should be parsed (the value itself can eventually be a list of values). I was thinking of inheriting from System.IO.BinaryReader for the parser (using a System.IO.MemoryStream for the byte sequence), having an abstract base class for the sequence content representation (class ContentBase), and different concrete classes which inherit from ContentBase (for example ContentInteger, ContentString, ContentListString, etc).

• Visual C# DataTable + delete selected Rows

  Hi I have a data table , which gets populated at the end of a certain transaction with say 30 Rows. Now depending upon the condition the user selects, i wanted to delete certain rows as given below.But the thing here happening is, first time the fifth row gets deleted,the row count is getting changed in the table to 29, which is playing the trick here as we can see that when next delete statement isencountered, there is no row with index 29 which is throwing an error and some times the row which i want to delete is not getting deleted, instead another row with altered index is getting deleted.How can we have a workaround for this situation My intention is just to delete the rows at the specified index from the original output ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VC# hangs after creating new project

  Okay, this problem didn't happen the last time I installed VC# (some 6 months ago). Recently, I downloaded the VC# Express ISO (2 weeks ago), and installed it. But it hangs as soon as I create a new project. Did Microsoft change the ISO files or something Here are all the wierd things that are happening in my VC++ Express and VC# Express 1) I installed VC# Express first, it hangs immediately as soon as I try to create a new project. It just says it's creating a new project and hangs. 2) I tried uninstalling every sign of VS Express and then reinstalled first VC++ and then VC#. The problem still persists. 3) Right now, my VC++ Express install fails to install the MSDN Express Edition component. 4) Even after closin ...Show All
