• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating a RoutedEvent using reflection on an object

  So I have code where I am using reflection on an object, looking at all of its RoutedEvents, and then hooking all the RoutedEvents up to a pre-made AllPurposeRoutedEventHandler. My problem is the AddHandler method wants a RoutedEvent as an arguement, and I cant think of a way to go from an EventInfo or EventDescriptor to a RoutedEvent. My dream would be if AddHandler took a string as an arguement, something like AddHandler(eventInfo.Name, new RoutedEventHandler(AllPurposeEventHandler)); but alas, Addhandler demands something like AddHandler(ROUTEDEVENT, ....) Any ideas Hate anwering my own question...EventManager gives a RoutedEvent[] of all routed events, and you can compare the name of the EventInfo to t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Controls Collection

  In VB6 when a control was part of the Controls collection of the form, even if the control was on another container (eg. a Tab control, picturebox etc.). In WindowsForms a control is part of the Controls collection of its direct container.So in order to iterate through all controls on a form you have to make a recursive method. However, a UserControl also has a Controls collection and exposes all controls contained in it. Is it possible to discern the controls that was added directly on a form, even on a seperate container, from the controls that are part of custom UserControls Maybe this code is useful: Public Class Form1 Private Function AllControls(ByVal from As Control) As List(Of Control) Dim lst As New List(Of ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to Serialize individual Ink Strokes?

  Hello, I am just wondering how to serialize individual ink strokes. When I attempt to I catch an exception stating that the Ink.Stroke object is non-serializable. I would love to not have to save the Ink object and serialize the entire thing, but instead simple grab a single stroke and serialize it. Does anyone have any information that may help with this Thanks again! Hi, you can serialize an individual stroke by copying it into its own temporary Ink object. Then you can call Save() on that Ink object - see code below: byte [] SaveSingleStroke( Stroke strokeToSave) { Ink tempInk = new Ink (); Strokes strokesToSave = strokeToSave.Ink.CreateStrokes(); strokesToSave.Add(st ...Show All

• SQL Server How to Setup JDBC for SQL2005 in Webshpere 6.0

  Does anyone know the steps on how to get SQL2005 to talk to a Websphere application via the MS JDBC We are trying to setup the Niku Clarity system with a new SQL2005 Database. Thanks This works great when creating XA data sources in WebSphere 6. Thanks. (By the way, if the one warning you received was for the "url" custom property, I got that to go away by naming the property "URL". Apparently case matters.) However, has anyone tried creating non-XA SQL Server 2005 data sources in WebSphere 6 I've tried and I keep getting: DSRA8101E: DataSource class cannot be used as one-phase: ClassCastException: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver, error code: NOT_A_1_PHASE_DS.

• SQL Server Column compression

  Hi, I was looking for a column compression functionality in SQL Server Compact and it seems that it doesn't exist (maybe I'm wrong ). I wonder if the SQL Server Team plan to implement column compression and if yes, when can we expect it Thank you for your help! There is compression functionality for SQL Server 2005 (http://www.codeproject.com/cs/database/blob_compress.asp ). The problem with SQL Server CE is that it does not support stored procedures and you will not be able to use this functionality. If you don't need to update the LOBs in your mobile device you can compress them in SQL Server, replicate them and decompress them at presentation time... but to answer your question we (the SQLComp ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development WMP11 not giving mousemove events in full-screen mode

  WMP11 Beta breaks my application that works well with WMP10. I am using the WMP ActiveX control. I receive Mousemove events in full-screen mode in order to provide a custom control panel that appears when the mouse is moved. This works well with WMP 10, but in WMP11 Beta, I get no mousemove events in full-screen mode. Is this by design (although I can't imagine why), or is this a bug that will be fixed when WMP11 is released I need to know if I should find a way to work around this (no ideas yet) or if it won't be an issue with the release version. Any help on this issue will be much appreciated! Your post belongs here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/defaul ...Show All
