• Windows Forms AutoScrollMinSize doesn't set the scrollbar sizes correctly

  Hi, Did a search and can't seem to find an answer. I've got a custom paint control (derived from UserControl) that has AutoScroll to true. I hide and show containers (for navigation) and embed several versions of the custom control in there. I'm setting the AutoScrollMinSize and the size of the scroll seems to reflect changes to the view settings (the nofification works and the resize seems to be correct) but the scroll bars don't resize even though they should. The scrollbars resize correctly on a control that isn't shown, but not on the active control. The size is correct and I've even tried resizing the control to see what happens, but nothing. Can I force a resize of the scroll bars in some other way Does any one have any ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Forcing refresh of a Window object

  Hi at all I want to ask, if it is possible to force a repaint on a wpf Window object With WinForms there is possible to call Refresh() on a Form object. Is there a similar method to do this on the Window object Thanks for answering. The way with the worker thread i've canceled because i want a solution with a just one thread. the reason is when i have a second thread in which the UI component will be (time consumed) created, the application will throw an exception because the second thread is not STA. That means i need a solution with just one thread. But the when creation of the UI component is in the main thread (UI thread) it blocks during the creation time of the UI component the repainting of the first UI component. I've trie ...Show All

• SQL Server Passing array to stored procedure

• .NET Development Converting Access application to .NET

  I have an MS-Access application that needs to be converted to .NET. I know that there's an upsizing tool thru which I can convert Access DB to SQL Server 2005. Is there any tool to convert Access code to C# / VB.NET directly similar to converting VB6 code to VB.NET I believe there isn't as Access is different (VBA) than .NET. I could be wrong however but I am certain that you can't just "Convert" directly to C#/VB.NET - technology is different. What code is it you require to be converted from Access ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Why is the "Compare" item disabled?

  I am trying to get a specific version of a file by label. After I key in the lable and select OK, TFS starts the "flying files" dialog (a.k.a. "coffee time dialog") telling me it is getting a list of files to update. Eventually I get a "Reslove conflicts" dialog telling me the local file on my machine is writable and I need to resolve the conflict. So I click the "Resolve" button and a "Resolve writable file conflict" dialog appears. At this point, I only have two options. "Overwrite the local file/folder" and "Ignore conflict". There is a "Compare" dropdown on the dialog but the dang thing is always disabled. It sure would be nice to be able to compar ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista throttling to not overrun MaxSimultaneousWorkflows

  If I have a WF host running on a server in which I want to have asynchronous workflow execution, I assume I need to manually control how many instances I start to not overrun the thread pool I didn't see a count property on the runtime, so is the correct way to get this to call GetLoadedWorkflows and check the count on that collection I'm a little concerned this may not accurately represent the total number of threads in use. To put this another way, if I have a message queue being read by a Windows Service host, and each received message invokes a workflow, whats the correct way to optimally keep the Workflow thread pool busy but never overrun it Thank you, great post there I should have found it ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Recommended way to run C# application in the background? (Cingular 8125 device)

  Hi I'm trying to refresh myself on mobile development, haven't done much with VS2005. The device is a Cingular 8125 smartphone (HTC ). I want to write an application that runs in the background, and occasionally alerts a user to provide some input. What is the easiest way to do this without resorting to unmanaged code I think long term I can live with unmanaged code, but want to put a demo together quickly. It would be nice to make this easy for the user to close, if it's hidden and then want to shut it down. Are there docs/guidelines on this, from UI and tech perspective. I assume the today screen is sovereign territory for the most part and you shouldn't use up space there. Thanks, Brian Simply put up n ...Show All
