• Software Development for Windows Vista Windows Workflow Foundation from a business perspective

  As a developer I am really enthousiastic about the new Windows Vista related technologies, and especially Windows Workflow Foundation. Being a developer, I have lots of stuff to read about this subject. There are many good-quality articles, whitepapers, webcasts and forums such as this one to help me get started. The problem is, however, that if I want to convince the management team of my company that WWF and WCF are the way to go (which I think it is), I can't seem to find (really) good information from a business perspective. All presentations directly dive into code on slide 3 or 5 or so, and most articles I found are too developer ...Show All

• Visual C# Fill a shape

  I have a shape like this shape , and I want to fill it with a color, can someone help me Greets, DIII cgraus wrote: I don't know why the GDI FloodFill function is not offered in GDI+. You could pinvoke it, or ( assuming you're still working on this drawing program ), you could accumulate an array of points as the user draws, and then use the FillPath function ( from memory ), which takes a Path built on those points and will fill it as well as draw it, with the brush of your choice. I think it doesn't work if it is an opened image. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Changing the "Working Area" of a screen.

  I am trying to develop an application that will act a bit like a second taskbar, in that it will resize the working area of a screen so that maximised applications do not cover over it, or simply get hidden behind it. Examples of applications that use this would be things such as Desktop Sidebar or JetToolbar. I am trying to develop the application in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition (using the .NET Framework 2.0). I have found how to get the current working area, but despite extensive searching I have not found a way to change it. Is this possible in Visual Basic Well done, Brendan.

• .NET Development C# Parameters NOT passing to Web Service

  In a revision of the Distributed Application Walkthrough located here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1as0t7ff.aspx , we have changed the WinForms app portion of the walkthrough the use the designer tools in VS2005 instead of a manual placement of the datagridview control and the Load/Save buttons. When we use the VS2005 designer tools to drag and drop from the DataSources window after adding a Web Reference to the project, everything appears to work fine. The Datagridview populates beautifully with the following code in the form class code: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); localhost. Service ws = new localhost ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cecil project from Mono : better than Linq ?

  Hello, Will the Linq team include the Cecil functionnalities It is so much more powerful than Linq. Basically every code is accessible as an expression, visitable, and modifiable at runtime. This links to my former proposal of being able to publish a select subset of variabl es then expresses iself as a subset of Cecil. Apparently Cecil is being used in db4o, an object database, which by the way, has what they call "native queries" which surprisingly ressemble DLinq queries :) Nicolas Rolland Hi Nicholas, I was just looking at Cecil myself recently, and to be honest, Cecil is nothing l ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can you do Duplex message exchange with netPofileTcpBinding?

  hi, I'm a bit confuse about this, according to the programming Indigo book by David Pallmann, it's possible. But when I tried to set the 'clientBaseAddress' attribute, a. the intellisense didn't register, b. at runtime I'm getting an error saying it's an invalid attribute. Can someone clarify this for me Thanks. -Andy You can. There is a difference, as you have noticed, with tcp bindings, which are inherently duplex. The code to set up http and tcp duplex channels would look something like this: InstanceContext instcon = new InstanceContext ( this ); WSDualHttpBinding binding = ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System manually remove a (failed creation) project

  Hi, I tried to create a new tfs-project, but got a very strange error message (see below). But I need to be able to reuse the name!
