• Visual Basic Controls Transparency

  My purpose is to display rotated text or image on the running movie. For that I have used windows media player control in .net.   I add the AxWindowsMediaPlayer (Windows Media player Control) on my form and set dock properties to fill. And put the Label and set the BackColor to Transparent. But instead of displaying the movie as background its displays the BackColor of the form.               I want the background movie run in background and display the rotated text amd image on that without background color of the text and image.   Thanks in advance. Hi, You may need to force you rotating item "ON TOP" through calling o ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista UndoEngine and multiple IDesignerHosts

  Hi! I am rehosting the WF designer and I'm trying to get the undo/redo capabilities working. Other than in most of the examples I have not a single design surface, I have multiple each one on a separete tab (like in VS). I'm managing these using a DesignSurfaceManager. The ctor of the UndoEngine (my DesignerUndoEngine which derives from UndoEngine to be exactly) expects to find an IDesignerHost in the IServiceProvider it gets. But in my case I have multiple IDesignerHosts, each surface is one for its own. How can I get the UndoEngine to work Do I have to create an UndoEngine for each design surface If so, how can I get a "global" undo across all surfaces How does VS do it Thanks! ...Show All

• Windows Forms .NET app checks for original install location before running?

  It appears that when I install/deploy my .NET 2.0 app using a Deployment Project within my app solution, the first time my app runs it checks the the MyApp.MSI in the location from where the install was originated. Is there any way to prevent this behavior My app is NOT deployed as a ClickOnce app and is not published so I don't understand why this check is happening My deployment files are: Setup.EXE MyApp.MSI CRRedist2005_x86.MSI What I usually do is combine these three files in a single WinZip self extracting to produce an end result of MyAppSetup.EXE. This all works fine with ONE exception, WinZip self extractor will remove the above 3 files from the temp folder it creates. This becomes a problem because when I click on th ...Show All

• Visual C++ windows.h not found...

  WOW, I can't believe this information isn't easier to find.  I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2005 Express, and then downloaded and installed the Platform SDK SP2.  NOTHING WORKS!  The Directories are not found and there is no apparent way to set them.  Apparently users have found a hack to make it work, but this is crazy.  It seems like the first Microsoft person to install this would notice that it doesn't work and would raise the flag to the appropriate people so they can take the steps to fix it for their users.  Or at least document it on the very first page where it is downloaded, or the very first page of the documentation.  A user shouldn't have to hit forums to find out how to make a product ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Help on layout

  The code below displays among other things a canvas called drawSurface. This canvas is added as the last child and has fixed size. As the window is resized, and when the window becomes larger than the canvas, WPF positions this canvas in the center. So far so good. My question is how can I find out the canvas's left top coordinates relative to its container. The reason is that I need to track this in my application. I appreciate any help on this.

• .NET Development msi .NET dependency

  Hi, I've created setup and custom installer(C#) projects using VS2003 to package and deploy an application to a mobile device, but some users are reporting that unless they have .NET 1.1 installed, when they open the msi, they get the following message:- "This setup requires the .NET Framework version 1.1.4322. Please install the .NET Framework and run this setup again..." I know that in general .NET apps run against the version of .NET they were compiled against but this can be overridden in the app config file, but is a similar thing possible in the context of the msi These users have already got .NET 2.0 so they should not be forced into installing 1.1 just to install something on their PocketPc device.
