• Windows Live Developer Forums Polylines opacity with Firefox

  Hi all, We are experimenting problems with alpha setting for thick polylines. With Firefox alpha parameter is ignored and the line is solid. We've already seen a report on this on the forum. Is this a known issue Is there a plan for a fix Thanks! Paolo the "color" parameter when you construct a VEPolyLine takes an object of VEColor.  You can set your alpha level in the VEColor to what you need.  Try inserting this line var x = new VEPolyline( 12 , new VELatLong(46.21758,-69.08529), new VEColor(255,0,0,1), 1 ); Hope that helps ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. GraphicsComponent.AllowMultiSampling

  What does the AllowMultiSampling exactly do It says Specifies whether to enable multisampling if available So i tought this mean it enabled multisampling when available and disables it when not available.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding ListView to infinite lists

  Out of pure curiosity I decided to try the following on a ListView since I heard it uses the VirtualizingStackPanel. I bound the ListView's ItemsSource property to a getter property defined as public IEnumerable<int> InfiniteList { get { int n = 0; yield return n++; } } It only displayed the first item. How does the ListView populate itself from a databound collection I thought any collection implementing IEnumerable would be fine. Cool question. The problem is in your iterator. It is only returning one value and then it's done. I changed it to: public IEnumerable<int> InfiniteList { get { int n = 0; while (true) { ++n; yield return n; } } } However, my CPU just s ...Show All

• SQL Server Invalid Descriptor Index error

  I'm testing db to db transactional replication on a box ( all on the same box ) and the distribution agent fails with the above error. I know it's something to do with the physical server as this test works on other servers fine. SQL2k Ent sp4 on w2k3 ent sp1. ( clustered ) Server and Agent accounts are in local admins, tried push and pull, named and anonymous. Replication also fails if I use the default snapshot location. I suspect policy restrictions ( maybe on the sql service accounts ) Any pointers would be helpful - there are no errors other than above, sadly. Its seems like this may also be the problem I am having. What I wondered if there is anyway to do this without rebuilding the replication ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Inheriting Composite activity

  I'm having a problem inheriting from a composite activity - here are the details: 1) I created a composite activity and it worked great. 2) I then created another activity that inherited from my first composite activity. 3) The VS 2005 designer re-initialized my custom properties, etc... so my project wouldn't compile. 4) I manually deleted what was basically being initialized twice and it then worked great. I compiled and ran my project without problems. Now here's the issue: if I use VS 2005 to edit my inherited composite activity (for example let's say I add a code activity), the designer will once again add all of the code to re-initialize properties, etc... Again I get a bunch of errors since these objects are now initi ...Show All

• Visual Basic tabcontrol pages collection within splitcontainer question

  I would like to have tab pages in a collection on the right side of a split container be dependent on which tab page is selected on the left side of the split container. If I have 6 pages in a tab collection on the left side of a splitter then; 1. If the left most tab of the control on the left of the splitter is selected, then 3 specific tabs of the rightmost tab control should appear on the right. 2, If the next tab (second from the left) is selected on the left side of the splitter, only 2 tabs should appear on the right of the splitter and are different tabs than the 3 that were displayed previously. Is there a way to achieve this at design time If not, how would I achieve this at runtime. Thank you, -Greg ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Problem with updating a recurring all-day appointment

  Hi folks, I'm trying to modify an previously created appointment. This appointment is an all-day event and recurs by some simple rule. Updating the basic attributes ( like start time, end time, subject, location, and so on ) works perfectly. However this is not true for changing the recurrence rule ( which by the way works if the all-day-event flag is not set ). It is not even necessary to change any data. Right away when I call IRecurrencePattern::GetRecurrencePattern() and releasing this interface again, it is not possible any more to call IAppointment::Save(). It gets even stranger: This scenario works perfectly on a PPC 2003 device. It does NOT work on a new Windows Mobile 5 PPC. I've tried to change the order of the update calls, like ...Show All
