• Visual Studio Does installing Studio do anything to IIS? If it does how can I duplicate these changes without installing Studio?

  Trying to install my Studio 2003 c# ASP.Net application on another server. It does not seem to work even though I have installed everything, and set up everything as I would on my own server. One difference I am aware of is that my server has Studio 2003 installed on it, was as the target server does not and can not. well without really knowing what problem you are facing, I can confirm this, but apologize if you are already aware of this: WS2003 -> installed IIS with ASP.NET 1.1 created a virtual directory in IIS called "test" copied over a simple ASP.NET application in this virtual directory (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test) logon to: http://localhost/test/index.aspx and works very well. This is without VS i ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I limit ticks is a checkListBox to one at a time?

  Hi, I am trying to use a checkListBox to select one of three options. I only want any one option at a time. I have found the following 2 instructions, which, I would have thought, would have done what I want, but I can still check all three boxes. this .checkedListBox1.CheckOnClick = true ; this .checkedListBox1.SelectionMode = System.Windows.Forms. SelectionMode .One; Incidentally, I tried this .checkedListBox1.CheckOnClick = true ; this .checkedListBox1.SelectionMode = System.Windows.Forms. SelectionMode .None; and this did whatI expected, I could not check any of the boxes. So, any one know what I am doing wrong Many thanks for being there John. Hi PJ Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XamlReader.Load is not finding named elements for loose XAML

  i've got an app which loads Loose XAML using XamlReader. the problem is that named elements cannot be found by triggered animations when loaded using XamlReader.Load(). but if i embed the exact same XAML into the app ... it works fine. so how is XamlReader not parsing it the same e.g. the loose XAML has a named element in the content like this (it's an excerpt from playing video on a 3d plane). the exception this will throw when it tries to render is "'mediaElement1' name cannot be found in the name scope of 'System.Windows.Controls.MediaElement'." <GeometryModel3D> <GeometryModel3D.Material> <EmissiveMaterial> <EmissiveMaterial.Brush> <VisualBrush> ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListView SortDescriptions for "uncomparable" properties?

  I've followed the ListViewSort sample WPF program as a pattern to sort my own GridView on a GridViewColumnHeader.Click event. I've modified the code slightly such that the string parameter to the SortDescription constructor is the Binding path to the property (i.e. not the header title as in the original code). string header = ((Binding)headerClicked.Column.DisplayMemberBinding).Path.Path; Sort(header, direction); This is working for properties that are strings, ints, and bools. However, one of the properties I would like to sort on is a Systems.Window.Point. Attempting to sort the grid view on this Location property causes an exception to be thrown (InvalidOperationException, "Failed to compare two elements in the array.&quo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Determine if List is displayed for ComboBox

  I have a situtation where I need to not let the mouse roller change a value in a drop down list. I was able to accomplish this by trapping the 'MouseRoller' event and canceling it for a ComboBox. However, now my users want the mouse roller to be enabled if the list is displayed for a ComboBox so they can scroll through the items. So I was wondering if there is a way to know if the list is being displayed for a ComboBox editor I am hoping to use it in the 'MouseRoller' event and not cancel the event if the list is in fact being displayed. Thanks in advance. Try the Infragistics forum . ...Show All

• Smart Device Development TrackBar dilemma ...

  I using a TrackBar to show current elapsed time of audio. As the audio is played back, the trackbar will be updated. The trackbar also used as seek function. However, here come the issue. Whenever the trackbar 's value is updated, the position is been changed. There seem to be chicken and egg problem. private void uiTrkTime_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { control.currentPosition = uiTrkTime.Value; } The trackbar revert to startpoint whenever the audio play a while because of "deadlock".

Please do tell me how to resolve this issue. thank When you are updating your trackbar's value on your timer tick ( ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Grid columns populated with incorrect data

  I have a grid with a bunch of columns. First, I suspect that the control source for the columns in this grid 'resets' itself to 'none', but I am not sure about this. Second, When I manually fill in the control source for the columns, some of the columns get populated by the next field in the cursor regardless of what I have specified in the control source. Help... Aleniko Aleniko, In your code check for a location that resets grid's recordsource. For example: .recordsource = "myAlias" or: select * from someTable into cursor myAlias && where myAlias is already used as grid recordsource ...Show All

• SQL Server transaction inside a data flow task

  We are designing an ETL solution for a BI project using SSIS. We need to load a dimension table from a source DB into the DW; inside the DW there are two tables for each source dimension table: a current dimension table and a storical dimension table. The source table includes technical columns that indicate if each record was processed correctly by ETL procedures. Each row in the source table can be a new record, or an exisisting one. If it's a new record, a corresponding new record should be inserted into the current dimension table of the DW; if it's an exisisting one, a new record should be inserted in the storical dimension table and the existing record in the current dimension table should be updated. Furthermore for each ...Show All
