• Community Chat OwnerDrawn TreeView Control

  This is a TreeView control, started as an experiment, which inherits from the standard TreeView control in .NET 2.0. http://codegallery.gotdotnet.com/Treeview2 It's source code only, as a standard .vb file. Add it to a project, add some nodes, add an Image List and play around with it. Note that all the drawing is done in the paint event. The coloring for the highlight is fixed, but is easily changed. Same with the parent gradient coloring. The horizontal scroll bar does some funky stuff; consider it a bug. You'll have to deal with it :) That's starting to look nice. If I may offer some constructive criticism, you should not let the selection box be interrupted by the icon like that. Either: 1) Just do not draw the po ...Show All

• Gadgets Looking for sample javascript (not vbscript) to access WMI Objects

  Specifically, I'm trying to get the readyboost parameters: "ReadyBoost Cache", "Total read bytes/sec" Thanks Peter Kellner http://peterkellner.net ASP.NET, MVP You'll be after "Win32_PerfFormattedData_EmdCache_ReadyBoostCache.TotalreadbytesPersec". But you won't be able to read this without Elevated Admin rights, so it's going to be pretty useless!

• SQL Server getting duplicates with Select Distinct (full outer join)

  I am writing a script to create a audit trigger on any table. I am getting duplicate rows inserted into my audit table, only for the primary key columns.

• Windows Forms PrinterResolution PrintDocument PrintPreviewDi

  Hi, I am wondering how one changes the PrinterResolution of the printdocument. I have need to use the full printer resolution, which is 1200 by 1200. I'm using the printpreviewdialogue component to show and then print. Problem is the PrinterResolution is stuck at 600 x 600. Where can I change this so that the printpreviewdiolgue has this resolution, as well as the printer I've tried stuff like this: this .docprint1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterResolution.Kind = System.Drawing.Printing. PrinterResolutionKind .Custom; this .docprint1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterResolution.X = 1200; this .docprint1.PrinterSettings.DefaultPageSettings.PrinterResolution.Y = 1200; But when the print ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Revision Control included in XNA?

  I heard XNA will include some sort of Revision Control, some kind of Perforce or SubVersion directly included in the package. Can someone confirm that Subversion is really nice source control. I especially like the fact that I don't need to manually "check out" files. ...Show All

• .NET Development Setp-Out and Exception filters

  One more followup question. If during a step-out, an exception is thrown, when the stepper completes, it appears that the filter frame is set up, and the IP points to a filter. Is this the step-out quirk you described that turns the stepper into a step-in That could be an consequence of the Step-out quirk. If the filter invocation acts like a Unmanaged --> Managed tranistion, then step-out would stop there because of this quirk. However, I just did a quick try with MDbg and didn't see that happening. If an exception is thrown and caught before the function returns, step-out will run past it as expected. If an exception is thrown but not caught before the return, the stepper will stop in the ca ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO SE + Office 2003 + VS 2005 Pro

  This is more of a Getting Started type of question. For some reason, I'm not finding any kind of basic tutorial that covers building an Add-In using VSTO SE (Beta) + Office 2003 Pro + Visual Studio 2005 Pro. The document that comes with VSTO SE Beta describes how to build a Ribbon, Custom Task Pane and a Custom Form Regin but all for Office 2007 components. I'd like to build an Excel 2003 add-in (or whatever) that displays a button to my end-user. Once the button is clicked I'll grab some data from the current/active worksheet, send the data to a web service and then take the results of the web service call and poke it back into the current worksheet. I've been able to do this in old school VBA (plus the now unsupported SOAP Toolkit) b ...Show All

• SQL Server What decides on the tables available for a partition?

  Hello, I am using the Partition Wizard. On the first screen (Specify Source Information) there are two tables listed. They are called: QMR_610_MembersOther_GrAmountAnalysis QMR_610_MembersOther_ReinsShareAnalysis Only one of those (the first one) is used as the fact table for the measure group that I am creating partitions for. So what I don't understand is why its making these 2 tables available for my partition. Can anyone explain how the Partition Wizard determines which tables are available for the partition Thanks Jamie Hi Jamie, think that the partition wizard only is doing the things his developers expected him to do - therefor the answer will be "this behaviour is by design"... ;-) ...Show All
