• ericrtodd Positioning elements generated by a data template on a Grid or Canvas

  I'm trying to use an XML data source and a data template to generate some TextBlock elements from this data and present them using an ItemsControl. The TextBlocks are generated correctly, but I can't figure out how to position them on a Grid or Canvas panel. It seems the attached properties (Grid.Column, Grid.Row, Canvas.Left, etc) that I define on the TextBlocks are somehow ignored. This is the XAML code I'm using: <StackPanel xmlns="http ...Show All

• Alexander Mossin Help with VSS

  Hi, Please forgive me for asking here, I realize this might not be the right place to ask but somebody here surely might have an answer for me.  We are using VSS 6.0d.  Here is my question: I have a server where we have all our VSS databases on.  The server has been having 'issues', so we have a new server with more memory, bigger hard drives, and a better processor where I need to move the VSS databases to.  My question:& ...Show All

• Scott P. Clearing Report Parameters

  Using VS 2005 B2 and C#.

I've tried clearing the parameters with: myReportViewer .LocalReport.SetParameters(nul ...Show All

• Russell Christopher - msft Possible to remote an Expression tree into Yukon?

  So this crazy idea came to me over lunch. Yukon hosts the CLR.  It can also host a web service.  Provided that the CLR hosted has access to all the stock .NET framework, I wonder how worthwhile it would be to: 1. Create an expression tree at the client side. 2. Transmit the tree to a service on Yukon. 3. Have Yukon execute the tree in the context of the database (security being managed, of course). 4. Transmit the results back to the c ...Show All

  Well, I gave up on the december CTP, and trying to install on XP. So I've moved to Vista (build 5271) and getting this development environment set up is so far even more fun :) I can't even get the first part installed - WinFX runtime - it keeps stopping saying the BITS service isn't available. But I've checked and the service is there, running, and so are all of it's dependency services. No errors in the event log about any problems with the ...Show All
