• sKuljit Help with Remoting Sample

  From what I've read about LINQ, it seems like it might indeed be pretty cool. However, when I ran through the LINQ Preview, all of the samples seem very 'Hello World-ish' and I don't have much information yet on how it would affect me directly.

I work with very fa ...Show All

• Alex Suzuki xml files as data sources

  We are using an Object-relational tool called N-Hibernate with the hope of having our developers program against objects and not SQL. Sounds like a good thing to do but we are having a problem with how to handle reporting. Reporting services will handle object input but only simple types and we have many subclasses within subclasses so this will not work. The fallback is to serialize the objects   and their associated instance data and fee ...Show All

• Colin Josey Documenting Contracts

  I wonder how is the best way to describe a WCF DataContract so that the rest of the world can easily understand it. If i run Svcutil and generate an XSD then i have a documentation of the data structure of my contract.

I want to add anotations to my XSD schema so i can generate a good looking documentation of my contract. But the problem is when i c ...Show All

• Gurbhajan setting mouse position relative to screen or controls?

  How is this possible I've seen only a GetPosition function, but there's no SetPosition function or Position property for the mouse. I think it's a really basic thing, isn't this supported by Avalon (I wouldn't like to think so). Maybe changing the mouse cursor when that's being performed would be a nicer operation You can use Mouse::SetCursor for that. If you really want to hide the cursor, just pass in Cursor ...Show All
