• Visual Studio Regarding SortEventArgs

  I am trying to log all activity on my website for debugging purposes, and I need the logs to be human-readable. My current issue is with SortEventArgs.  When I catch the Sort event of the ReportViewer control, I receive a SortEventArgs object with a SortId in it. This SortId does not map to any of the columns in my report, and I would like to log the name (caption) of the column that was clicked. Does anyone know how to map this Id to ...Show All

• .NET Development XSLT 2.0 and XPATH 2.0 support?

  After much hunting I get the general impression that .NET 2.0 does not support XSLT 2.0 or XPath 2.0. But that version 1.0 is supported for XSLT/XPath and that XML processing performance has been significantly enhanced over .NET 1.0. Can someone please confirm these (The immediate implications of this concerns what XSLT reference book to buy.) thanks, david ...Show All

• Windows Forms Only downloading changes?

  Okay, so I'm using Clickonce for deployment of a project that has an executable, some DLLs, and two folders full of text files. I published to a web site, downloaded, and all went fine. I then made a few changes to the executable and republished, making the new version mandatory. When I started the application, it downloaded the new version as expected, but did two things that I can't stand. First, it downloaded the whole thing. I thought it was ...Show All

In XAML, I supply a property value like this: <gp:PlayfieldView.SlotModel>    <GeometryModel3D     Geometry="{DynamicResource TorusGeometry}"  & ...Show All

  I have an app that needs to be on the correct time of day and time zone. I have the code to set the time by a pinvoke call. I found an API call for Get and Set Time Zone but it wants a C/C++ struct that I am not sure how to create in C# the msdn docs call for WCHAR blah[32]; which if I am thinking right means an array of 32 UNICODE chars not a pointer to a string. and C# will not let me declare a struct with a fixed array size like c ...Show All

• Visual C# c# service with web front end...

  My program (when its finally done) will run as a service and doesnt have a windows front end. I have designed the front end in php + mysql (logon+pass+etc) hosted by a webhosting company.

My next idea was to have a php script query the database and return the rusults to the ...Show All
