• Windows Forms How to trap the mouse events (move, hover, etc) for the designerhost?

  I've implemented a custom form designer based on MSKB 04 sample. I'd like to perform some actions when cursor moves over the designer. How can I trap these mouse events Or should I take a different approach for this kind of task Thanks, Alan Martin, I din't get a chance to try out the global behavior yet. Thereis a bit learning curve I need to go through on it... Behavior seems to play a big role in design time of 2.0. Thank you again, Martin. Alan ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Create new condition rule from the designer

  Hello, I am hosting the WF designer (beta 2) as shown in the WorkflowDesignerControl sample. The only difference is that I don't use the property grid for setting activity properties. When I select the IfElseBranchActivity and I try to run the RunConditionDialog for creating the condition rule, I do as following: public RuleExpressionCondition NewCondition(Activity activity, string coditionName) { RuleExpressionCondition condition = new RuleExpressionCondition(coditionName); RuleConditionDialog dlg = new RuleConditionDialog(activity, condition.Expression); if (dlg.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) { c ...Show All

• Visual C# Localization tool

  Hi, I am looking for a tool which helps to do a localization of an application. My idea is that it is an interactive tool which is looking for strings in source code and makes them localized. When such tool is started it offers each string found in source and asks if the string is translatable. If yes, some identifier is supplied by user to name this string in resources and new record is created in resources. The string in source code is replaced by method returning the string from resources. Such tool would decrease time needed to localize bigger application with all strings hardcoded in compare of doing all this work manually without an ...Show All

• SQL Server For each container - performance problem?

  I have a for each container configured to iterate over files in a directory (around 2600 files). The for each container contains only one data flow task. The data flow task is very simple. Only 3 steps. Read from file using flat file source (ragged right), format column values (eg. converting YYYYMMDD into yyyy/mm/dd and TRIM spaces - 13 such conversions) using derived column transform and inserting them into a table (23 columns - mostly nvarchar, few numerics and few dates) using Ole Db Destination. The table has one non-unique clustered index on nvarchar(18) column. Each of the 2600 file has at an average 750000 rows. It seems to me ...Show All
