• Software Development for Windows Vista Implement a Workflow Parameters Editor

  Hi, I want to implement a Workflow Parameters Editor, like the one in the 1.2 beta version. When the developer click on the "Ok" button of the editor, it will analyze if all the properties have been written, else it write them. Do you think that it is possible without writting lots of code lines Thanks for you help! This is acheivable, but not trivial. You will have to write a fairly big amount of code to parse code beside file and issue missing parameters. Using codeDom will simplify code parsing task, but will introduce additional issues and challenges. This is not easy to accomplish. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "Render loop", performance

  Hi, I have a little scene with 517 diffuse polygons that I animate in a Page using: protected override void OnRender(DrawingContext drawingContext) { //...create rotateXform this._modelGroup.Transform = rotateXform; base.OnRender(drawingContext); this.InvalidateVisual(); } I get terrible framerate, about 4 fps, and I've seen more complex scenes (like http://thewpfblog.com/ p=36 ) perform at least 20 times better. Is the render loop above bad or is it probable that it's something else in my setup I can post code tomorrow if needed. Thanks, Jonas The answer was to use the VisualTarget.Rendering event. It doesn't give a very steady framerate, and there seems to ...Show All

• .NET Development Windows App from .Net 1.1 to 2.0

  I recently installed VS 2005. I converted my 1.1 windows app to 2.0. It debugs fine on my machine (no errors). The release runs fine on host machines with 2.0 (and 1.1) but it crashes on machines w/o 1.1 installed. The release runs fine on my machine even after I've uninstalled 1.1. I don't know what the difference could be. The debug report on the host machines contains no useful info to me. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. are the computers with the same OS Well, hmm some features are not available in Windows 2000 SP4 apperently, and can cause the InvalidOperationException. Then again, the except means that it cant do something because its not there - can either be the OS being used OR (most likely ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Attaching Pictures?

  I made a Tic Tac Toe game that is composed oof PictureBoxes, that when clicked, display the user's image : either an "x" or "o". The Picturesboxes get the image because when clicked, they get the image as their background from a filepath location ( ex:"C:/bob/bobby.bmp"). The only problem is that when I try to play it on my other computer, the files aren't there ( I know why)! Is there someway i could attach the pictures as a part of my project SO it can be used anywhere you would read it from the resource stream... http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=942182&SiteID=1 http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=558761&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• Visual Basic Storing variables outside of RAM?

  I'm writing a program that stores values in variables, but I need those variables to hold their values after the program closes, as I am making an organizer for things. I was thinking of writing them to a text file then retrieving them, but I know there's a better way. Thanks. Just to add my 2cents to the other responses. If it's just simple values (strings, bools, etc ...) then I would go with Application Settings. It's supported for just this sort of operation and it will take care of all of the nitty gritty details of when/how/why to store user and application settings. ...Show All

• SQL Server Who cand add users to the db_securityadmin role ?

  I have user which is a member of the db_securityadmin database role. It has no other permissions applied to it. When I login with this user, and try to add some other database users to the db_securityadmin role, I receive an error stating that I don't have the permissions to do this: User does not have permission to perform this action. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 15247) Is this the normal behaviour, or is there something wrong I am using SQL Server 2005. From what I know, this works fine with SQL Server 2000, but it doesn't work as I expected with SQL Server 2005.

• Smart Device Development Unable to create cab files in visual studio 2005

  Hie, i think i am facing the same problem, so i just reply here instead of starting a new thread. if this isn't the same problem, i will create a new thread later. i followed the how to article on using smart device cab project to create the cab files. i successfully created the cab file and when i copy it to the device via activesync, it install successfully. but when i package it into a installer and use ce application manager to install, it say this is an invalid setup file. so i open the cab file and compare it with the sql ce cab file. and guess what, it is different. In the cab file that i create, it doesn't have a *.999 file, but all the other cab files like sql ce, sql ce client, and compact framework have. so, what am i d ...Show All

• .NET Development HTTPChannel problem when upgrading from 2003 to 2005

  Hi all. I have a project in which there is a line of code : Dim channel as new httpchannel(8080) That worked fine in a vb.net 2003 project. When I upgrade the code to vb.net 2005 the compiler complains about it. The nearest match I can find in 2005 is: Dim Channel as new system.net.httplistenerresponse(8080) But the 2005 compiler says "Type system.net.httplistenerresponse has no constructors". 1. I need to know which library replaced the system.runtime.remoting.channels.http one. I can type this into 2005 (as an Imports ...) and the compiler doesn't complain, but then i suffer the problem above. 2. Although this is not part of the problem, I'd like to know how to solve an error that is "xxx has no constructors" Many tha ...Show All
