• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Text alignment?

  Is there a reason TextAlignment isn't supported for the TextBlock element If so, I hope the reason is simply a matter of "not yet implemented", since I believe this to be an important feature that needs to be supported for the first release. Particularly when wrapping is involved, this is something that needs to be provided by the basic text rendering functionality. No, I can't -- particularly when wrapping is involved. Imagine a labeled icon like you find on the Windows desktop. Or something that should wrap as follows: The Antidisestablishmentarianism Annual ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to debug a XOML-Only Workflow?

  Hi, is it possible to debug a dynamically loaded workflow (XOML-Only) Did somebody done it Thanks Thank you SonaliC for the advice. I tried it out and the problem I encounter is that the "wrong" .xoml window pop's up. I think the reason might be the way I implemented the dynamic loading: I didn't used compilation for this purpose but rather I "inherited" from an empty workflow and loaded at runtime my .xoml instance (mean no x:Class property). So the loaded .xoml window is the one of the "base" workflow and not of the instance. Does anybody know how to handle this case Thank you! ...Show All

• Visual C++ cout not working with CString

  I am using Visual C++.NET V7.0.9955 When I use the following code CString name = "John"; cout << name; Rather than getting the name on the counsole I get a hex value, probable the address of the location of name. Of course if i change the code to cout << *name; I get the first letter of name. Why wont cout work for CString. I thought it should. Thanks Lachlan. I guess you are struggeling on characters sets. By default VC2005 uses unicode. So you should use wcout. What you see is the address of name. You can call the operator which returns the address of the character array: (LPCTSTR)name. You can also add an operator for ostream and wostream: std::wostream ...Show All

• Visual Studio Corruption in VSS2005 database

  A week ago we created a brand new database in VSS2005, containing a very large amount of code. The resulting database is about 1 GB in size. Yesterday I started noticing the following error when opening SS Admin: "We recommend that you run the Analyze utility at this time. We have detected the following conditions that may lead to integrity issues in your SourceSafe database: - An incomplete operation was detected for the following users:" (followed by a list of users). I was forced to run an Analyze right away because SS Admin would not let me add users. After running Analyze, the error went away and I was able to add users again. But today, the message is back again! I understand the importance of analyzing the database r ...Show All

• SQL Server Convert hexadecimal value to real data type

  Hi , I want to convert hexadecimal to numeric data type. Using directly Cast or Convert function is not working. Please suggest an alternative how to retrieve the numeric value of binary data . Thanks in advance Regards Srinivas Govada Srinivas, Please show us what does not work for you. The following is fine: declare @n numeric(10,2) set @n = 1.23 select cast(@n as varbinary(20)) -- returns 0x0A0200017B000000 select cast(0x0A0200017B000000 as numeric(10,2)) If you are trying to convert binary representations of [float] values to [float], you can use this code: declare @b binary(8) set @b = 0xC094D954FB549F95 declare @s bit declare @e smallint declare @m float set @s = case when substrin ...Show All

• SQL Server Change the WHERE conditions dynamically

  Is there a way I can build a case statment or similar to handle different where conditions I know I can do it dynamic sql but it would be nice to have a method where I can create the querries directly in a normal statement Someting like: Select c1, c2, c3 From Table WHERE Case @Condition WHEN '>' @SelColumn > @Limit WHEN '=' @SelColumn = @Limit WHEN '<' @SelColumn < @Limit END I know this doesn't work so an example that do work would be nice. Can't you use a T-SQL IF statement instead IF @Condition = '>' SELECT ... FROM .. WHERE @SetColumn > @Limit ELSE IF @Condition = '=' .... WHERE @SetColumn = @Limit This will get you the best performance if ...Show All

  VB.NET 2005 Express and SQL Server 2005 Express - NOT saving updates to DB - SOLUTION! ----------------------------------- The following article is bogus and confusing: How to: Manage Local Data Files - Setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy' http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms246989.aspx You must manually copy the database file to the output directory AFTER setting 'Copy to Output Directory' to 'Do not copy'.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Xbox 360 Official Dev Kit vs. "the XNA thing"

  Here goes, The official dev kits intergrate within Visual Studio and compile on PC and send the executable to the machine and launch it via remote debugging. This also allows for breakpoints, steping thru code, etc. Will this new XNA subscription and Game Studio Express be similar to this idea I'm dreading things like relying on Windows support and burning it to a CD to play it on the 360. (For example) Q: How can you debug XNA-based games running on the Xbox 360 A: Debugging on the console is supported through a remote debugging connection from a Windows desktop running XNA Game Studio Express.

• Visual Studio UNDO no longer working...

  I was working ASP remotely (bad network connectivity) and when I returned to the office, the UNDO feature no longer works. That's to say, whenever I'm in the editor (VB) and I code, the UNDO button no longer ENABLES itself and, syntax errors take a while to reveal themselves. Being in the office. I'm just a stones throw from the development server... Connectivity shouldn't be an issue... In fact, browsing the pages of the project using Internet Explorer reveals little to no lag. Is there a setting perhaps that was tripped because of my recent remote outing ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel cell data validation dropdown

Ideally I would like to add a named range to a drop down list AND default the selected item to a value from my database. There isn't much information out there regarding doing this in c #.
