• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) NumericUpDown equivalent in WPF

  Is there any WPF equivalent of Winforms NumericUpDown control Maybe anybody has already developed it Yes, but there are issues. Buttons for Up-Down controls are very small and RepeatButtons have an inherent margin and padding (even with Margin and Padding set to 0) that restricts the content area for arrows etc. This is probably due to its internal control elements. Further, if one bypasses these issues with a ControlTemplate, then the built-in event-driven hover and click visual effects are lost. Solution: Use a ControlTemplate (e.g. with ellipse/rectangle) but implement the visual effects yourself ...Show All

• .NET Development How to dynamically change connection string in generated dataset class?

  I have a project with database classes which are generated from database objects. That is I add a dataset to the project and drag and drop a database object onto it. The problem with this is that I have to give a connectionstring which is stored in the code. This is ok while developing the application. But runtime I want to use another connectionstring, both for security reasons and because each user of the application will correspond to a database user (ms sql) and shall have a corresponding connectionstring. Is there an easy way to do this without having to restore to plain all datasets and do everything myself The name of the proper ...Show All

• Smart Device Development windows services for CE.NET??

  Due to a very complex network environment I need a Mobile ASPx APP can comunicate with a Unitech PA962 portable terminal running Win CE .NET 4.2. That communication must be established to print over a Cameo2 Zebra Bluetooth printer. The PDA has a AnyCom Bluetooth CF-300 and a Orinocco 802.11b card on it.

Hey Gheatza, The Media Foundation forum probably isn't the right forum for your question, since Media Foundation for Windows Vista will not have the support in-box that would be needed to source a live AVI-format presentation. That said, if you were so motivated, you could try to write a Media Foundation Media Source that is capable of sourcing a live AVI presentation; howev ...Show All

• .NET Development Advice on Parameter problem with Odbc call returning multiple result sets

  Hi all, I need some help with a problem regarding parameters to a stored proc please. To set the scene, I have a C# app that gets data from a database. To do this it calls a stored proc "getData". getData is called through a Microsoft.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand object that I have. The stored proc returns two result sets, I read all of the data in the first one by using IDataReader results  While (results.Read()) and I move on to the next result set (when finished above) by doing: results.NextResult() This has been working perfectly fine, however I introduced a parameter to the stored proc and I now get an excep ...Show All

• Visual Basic Edit And Continue won't let me make changes ... why?

  Hi, My main reason for downloading the Visual Studio 2005 professional beta was to get the edit & continue functionality that I miss so much from VB6. However, when I break into my code at a break point and start to make a change the IDE tells me that: "You have made edits to the sourcecode that cannot be applied.  Changes are not allowed if debugging has started via attach.  If you continue to debug, your source code and application will not match."
