• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cannot set Image Source from IValueConverter?

  I'm trying to use an IValueConverter to pick an image to show. In this case, I have images of country flags that I want to show next to the country code. I also have a tooltip with the full country name. Here is the Xaml I'm using. This Xaml shows a hard-coded image name that works and another image whose source is set from the IValueConverter. The tooltip is also set via an IValueConverter and that works great:  <ControlTemplate x:Key="CountryCodeWithFlagTemplate">   <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"     ToolTip ="{TemplateBinding Property=ContentControl.Content,       ...Show All

• .NET Development Thread.Abort can interrupt reference assignments?

  In a Usenet discussion regarding the evils of Thread.Abort, I was informed of a possible danger in the following scenario: IntPtr ptr = IntPtr.Zero; try {     ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(100000); } finally {     if (ptr != IntPtr.Zero)         Marshal.FreeHGlobal(ptr); } Let's assume this code block runs in a thread that is subject to a ThreadAbortException.  Is it actually possible that this exception interrupts the assignemnt expression in the try block   That is, could AllocHGlobal have succeeded without having assigned its result to ptr That's a very nasty situati ...Show All

• Visual Basic Connecting to a server

  im using the exportXML command in Microsoft Access 2003 to export a .xml file to my website. I have been experiementing with the exportXML command and have been able to export a table to a folder at my website. The problem is that before the table is exported i get a connect to website dialog box where you enter your server user name and password. Once submitted the .xml file is exported successfully.

  Platform: .NET 1.1, Visual Studio 2003, C# I want to put the following element in the app.config file but I get a runtime error. <add key="ExcelOleDbConnectionString" value="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=""Excel 8.0;HDR=YES"""/> The error is : "This is an unexpected token.

• Visual Studio Team System Added new states, do I need to add new ref names?

  The MSF Agile comes with three states for work items: Active, Resolved, and Closed. In my custom template, I have changed these to In Analysis, In Development, Dev Complete, In QA, Passed QA, Closed. Now In order to track and report the full life cycle of a work item, do I need to add new fields and ref names The fields related to event dates defined in MSF Agile are State Change Date, Activated Date, Resolved Date, Closed Date. They seem to match the states so this leads me think I might need to define my own fields and the related ref names such as Dev Complete Date, Pased QA Date etc in order for the reports and queries to be accurate wh ...Show All

• Visual C++ Changed the COM signatures....using ildasm.....

  Hi, I have a .exe COM which I used in .NET but some signatures got changed....so I opened it with ildasm and changed the signatures so that it should return something from the function....This is the error I'm getting now.... The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at 0x79e8aff6, on thread 0xb4. The error code is 0xc0000005. This error may be a bug in the CLR or in the unsafe or non-verifiable portions of user code. Common sources of this bug include user marshaling errors for COM-interop or PInvoke, which may corrupt the stack. Any Ideas.... Thanks, Harsimrat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Nested Solution Folder Parent?

  I am creating an unbound reference. In my IsEnabledFor method I am trying to see if the current item is a SolutionFolder, and if so, if its parent is also a SolutionFolder with a specified name. For some reason, I can get to the logical parent of the current solution node, as it is in Solution Explorer. I can easily test if the target is a SolutionFolder, but the problem is testing its parent. Project project = (Project)target. - OK project.ParentProjectItem - yields a ProjectItem for the same node project.ParentProjectItem.Object - yields the same object (SolutionFolder)(project.Object) - yields the solution folder interface (SolutionFolder ...Show All
