• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF and shadows

  Hi, I am interested in generating shadows for several pieces of geometry in my 3D application, and I was wondering if access to the stencil buffer is restricted when using WPF. If this is the case, is there any way (built in or otherwise) of generating shadows at a reasonable speed Thanks in advance. WPF doesn't allow access to the stencil buffer nor does it have shadows in V1, sorry. Shadows have been one of our biggest feature requests. If the shadow is going to be on a plane, you could do something like find the silhouette edges, project them onto the plane, and draw the projection in black. ...Show All

• .NET Development Can I open an Access database from vb .net if the mdb file is opened.

  if I try to use the following connectstring "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\cse1\src\test.mdb;Mode=Share Deny None;User Id=admin;Password=;" I get the following error "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'test.mdb'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data." I was assuming that mode-Share Deny None would open the database in read-only mode, since I have to just display data and not do any updates. thanks.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XamlWriter customization?

  Is there a way to customize the XAML serialization of a class   I have public properties I do not want serialized (things like the Parent property in WPF classes).  In other cases I would like to serialize a reference to another object and restore that at the other end.  I can have duplicate properties holding the ids and recreate the object references after loading the XAML, but I still need to get the object reference properties excluded from the XAML.  I would really rather not use get/set methods just to deal with serialization.  Ideally there should be some attribute I can place on the properties in question. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 Debugger goes to wrong code

  I am trying to debug a problem in a control I have developed in design mode. To do this, from my control's assembly, I start another instance of the VS2005 IDE with a project which uses my control in design mode. The control is developed in C++ in a mixed mode class. When I try to debug my problem, at the point it is occurring, the code goes off into a completely different routine than what I am calling in the source. When I follow the debugger in disassembly mode, it is actually not even going to the beginning of the wrong routine but about 10 CPU instructions beyond the beginning. It is obvious to me that the code is going to the wrong are ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem while executing my Add-In

  Hai.....,     I have build an Add-In for VS.NET IDE. I 'm storing the information required for my Add-in to a file. The method i used to store is as follows; BufferedStream bs = new BufferedStream( new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write)); BinaryFormatter bf = new BinaryFormatter(); bf.Serialize(bs, hashShortcuts); //<--hashShortcuts here is a Hashtable bs.Close(); bs = null; bf = null;   For the above code to work, the data in the hashtable must be serialized and so one class has the Serializable attribute set to it, which is the one I store in the hashtable. Now ...Show All

• SQL Server Is there a way around using MAX Statement on Report

  I have a report that due to being unable to find a successful solution across the web relies on me using a value in a box as shown below; =MAX(Fields!budgeted_net_rent.Value) The problem I now have is that I have another field on the report and want to a =SUM on it and it tells me that you can't do that unless it is a header or footer and something about being part of an aggregate function. How can I fool SSRS into placing the value for this field into a sperate box so that I can complete the calculation I need to do. This report uses various drill throughs etc. If it is relevent, the value that I want to perform the calculat ...Show All
