• Windows Forms Control TextChanged Event Question

  My group is in the process of creating a few common forms that we will use as templates for all the applications we create. Basically, instead of inheriting from System.Windows.Forms.Forms we will inherit from these subclasses. One of the common features we would like available in the form is when the TextChanged event fires on any TextBox or Combobox on the form, we would like to mark the form as IsDirty and enable a Save button. Because these ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Proxy setting non-binding for localhost

  Using declarative webtest, proxy setting is being ignored when making localhost connections. In the webtest, you can specify the proxy host&port in the webtest properties, or if your IE proxy setting is set before it is launched, it is automatically populated in the webtest. Requests do seem to be passed through proxies - except when making calls to the localhost. It looks like the proxy setting is ignored by Visual Studio when mak ...Show All

NHibernate has a run time variable that is created when the web app starts up that all the sessions use to create querys, etc. Its a good practice to only have ony application variable because of 2nd level caching, etc. My question is how would I go about getting access to this application variable inside windows workflow.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Proper documentation for WPF?

  Hello! Is there some proper written description of WPF somewhere, for instance for download from the Microsoft website. Concerning proper I mean some documentation which present a complete conceptual driven presentation of WPF with operational directions of examples. I think the SDK browser is very poor in presenting an overview of the area. I think it works much better for situations holding only a small amount of information. By the w ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 401.1 unauthorized access error with Windows 2003+IIS 6.0+WinFx Runtime Feb CTP

  Hi There, I am not quite sure I should post this question here. I assume there is co-working issue between IIS6.0 and Indigo. Our indigo service hosted with IIS 6.0 behaves kind of weird: when accessing our Indigo services after the server has been running some time (let's say, 10 hours, 12 hours overnight), 401.1 unauthorized access error occurs. Not only the indigo services, any access to public websites on this server gives the same pro ...Show All

  I'm looking for a way to extract rows from a table where the row's primary key is an UniqueIdentifier using the "where . . . in" clause of the "select" statement.
