• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Data Binding involving UI specific transformations

  If my database returns data which I fetch into an object - after which I need to apply certain formats before I bind each property of that object to corresponding fields on the UI, or for that matter change radio button/checkbox values, what is a good pattern for this - should I build a wrapper "UI" object around the data object which records all the transformed values and binds two-way with the UI and then reverse-apply the changes to the base data object to dispatch for Save) or is there a better pattern. Appreciate someone's advice on this. Hi, If you need to convert value while binding, you can use 2 properties definied on Binding : Convert which is of type IValueConverter Co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Add New Stored Procedure results in endless dialog loop ???

  I had a couple of my devs install CTP4, and now they're trying to use a Database project that's part of our solution, and make changes to it. Specifically they are trying to add some stored procedures. They right-click on the Stored Procedures node, Add -> Stored Procdure, they enter the name hit OK, and it brings up the Add New Item dialog with all the file type choices (procedure, trigger, constraint, etc) with the name they typed in still there (with a "." on the end), if they hit OK it just brings back the same Add New Item dialog over and over again. It doesn't do this on my machine which is also running CTP4, but I have 2 fresh installs on other boxes here that are both exhibiting this behaviour. What could be the pro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Windows SDK July CTP breaks documentation - again

  Windows SDK July CTP has once again borked my documentation. This time neither my MSDN Library nor my Visual Studio Combined Help documentation works.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error Accessing Registry while compiling VB COM component in Vista

  I am trying to compile a VB based COM component and I got the error - Error accessing registry". Even though the DLL has been generated.

• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF runtime refers old workflows

  Hi, I have deployed WWF in a console application(Host). While developement, i have created some un-wanted workflow for testing purpose. In this machine WWF is working as expected. Later I had to copy the project in a DIFFERENT machine with only the relevent workflows. Also I have restored the DB s - WorkflowPersistence -WorkflowTracking from the 1st machine. But as I have mentioned, I created some un-wanted WF in the 1st machine, hence after copying the project in the 2nd machine(new), workflow runtime still trying to load the un-wanted workflows. But in the new machine I never copied the un-wanted workflow. Hence WF runtime is not able to load the un-wanted workflow & giving error. I have deleted the unwanted workflow r ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Numeric performance on 360

  A question for the framework/VM guys... I have ported one of my simpler benchmarks to the 360, and find that the numeric performance is running 5x slower than my 2.8GHz P4 desktop. Now I was expecting a drop in performance on the 360, allowing for the difference in CPU implementation (in order execution / branch prediction etc), but nothing like this magnitude! The benchmark simply transforms a source array of Vector4s to a destination array of Vector4s, using a 4x4 matrix. Have you guys done any benchmarking of pure numeric perf, and if so is this in line with what you get Andy. What's sad is that, traditionally, the PPC architecture has been better than Intel at FLOPS and lower latencies. How ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Service Broker Support

  I see basic SSB support has been added. But as you will know, there are always 2 sides involved in SSB communications and large parts of the configuration depends on the other side. What's the recommended way of keeping multiple DB projects synched and what other features will you provide in the future to help aid in this The "Service Listing Manager" supplied by the SQL2005 team is quite buggy and there does not seem to be any more enhancement being done on it. Maybe it should be integrated into this project-type and create/update the elements needed to communicate with the "target" service. Even though pieces are devided up between two or more database; the main schema elements, mainly message types and co ...Show All

• Visual C++ VC8 complains when calling a method in a VC 7.1 assembly taking an interior pointer

  I am trying to use C++/CLI to compile some managed classes that use types from an old .NET 1.1 assembly that was compiled with VC 7.1. The old VC 7.1 assembly classes contain methods that take interior pointer arguments that were declared as follows using the old Managed Extensions for C++ syntax.
