• Windows Live Developer Forums adding pushpins gets progressively slow, even after deleting them

  i am wondering if others have this problem too. i have a bunch of points that can be added to the map by categories that are toggle-able, but the more you add and delete pushpins, the slower it gets to add new ones. i have read the posts on the memory leak issues, and i understand that i can refresh the site and start over with map.dispose(), but i do not want to force the user to refresh everytime the site gets slow (therefore losing their process within the application). does anybody know of a work around is there a "smart" way to add and/or delete pushpins thanks hi john, that's good stuff! i took your code and modified it a bit to try to mirror the behavioral problems i was having (wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating popup panels like Blend

  What would be the best way to go about creating 'popup panels' like Blend does when you click on one of the tools on the left side In Blends case it looks like it's a Menu but I'd like to be able to have any Control magically appear, allow the user to interact with it, and then disappear. For example, I have a color rectangle in my app. If the user clicks on it, i'd like a color selector control to magically appear. The user can then interact with the control and then click anywhere outside of the control to close it. Is something like this built into WPF I've tried just manually creating a control but I'm having trouble with getting the popup to automatically close when the user clicks anywere else.

• Visual Studio Visual Basic Debugger Crash

  I have just recently installed Visual Studio 2005 and in my GUI Design class we have opted to use Visual Basic. The problem I am having is that whenever I try to use the debugger by setting a breakpoint, everything goes well until I actually reach the breakpoint. When my program reaches the breakpoint, everything freezes up. I am unable to force quit the program or Visual Studio, or alt-tab to any other applications. The only thing I am ever able to do is bring up the task manager with ctrl-alt-del, but I am unable to kill processes or anything from the window, as it too freezes when I click on the window with the mouse. This is on a fresh install of Visual Studio 2005 on a fresh install of Windows XP Professional SP2. I have all the updat ...Show All

• Visual C# Referenced DLLs - How to dynamically update the path of the reference dlls in another solution?

  Hello, I am working with 2 C# solutions right now, 1 is the main application we are creating (let's call it MainSolution.sln for now), the other is a unitTest solution (UnitTest.sln) created as a separate solution file, as the main solution consists of too many projects and compiling it takes a long time. It was created separately also because different groups of developers can work on the respective solutions they are tasked to do. In the UnitTest solution, we create unit tests for the main solution classes, hence, for each project in the unitTest solution, I've added references to the respective main solution dlls. A typical full path of the Main solution's DLL is C:\MainApp\<foldername>\bin\Debug\<filename>.dll I'm cur ...Show All

• SQL Server basic SQL question

  I'm not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but I have a basic question. Currently we have are doing calculations via stored procedures and then returning the results back to the client in either a web page or a winForm style application. There are times that the stored procedure takes 20 minutes or 3 hours to run. Now, our database person says that all the calculations needs to be removed from SQL and put in either the web applications code or the winForms code (based on what is calling it) the db person also states that SQL is not intended to do any kind of math (calculations) and they should all be done in the application. I think the calcs should be done on the db and its going to take 20 mins to 3 hours for these things to run n ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO RemoveCustomization

I have tried to accomplish the following but with no success: Using Visual Studio 2005 Pro., VSTO 2005, and Microsoft Office 2003 Pro., I have designed a Word document as well as a usercontrol.
