• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Load XAML with an Image from a zippackage?

  I want to parse an XAML file from a zippackage and display on the screen. It works just fine untill i have external media linked to the XAML file. It worked just fine in Sep CTP but in Nov CTP it seems like the parser don’t find my image file. So my question is how do i write an releaive URI for my image /Christer Can you elaborate on how you are loading the XAML page If a ParserContext is involved, does it have the right BaseUri One would assume relatively referenced files are relative to that base Uri. Is your image in the zip archive or elsewhere How are you referencing the image in XAML Regards, Ash ...Show All

• Visual C++ Convert Visual Studio 7 project to Visual Studio 6 project

  Hello, Am I wrong or are the projects from visual studio 7 not backwards compatible with those of Visual Studio 6 or is there a way to convert them I'm using visual studio 7 and are developing a project together with a visual studio 6 user and he can't open my visual studio 7 project files. Thx, Steven Your best bet might be to use basic make files to ensure compatibility... or just get the other developer to upgrade ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Is it possible to shell an application seamlessly?

  I need to be able to run an application such as notepad or calc in the same way that I can start a browser inside my VB app ie. make the spawned program appear to be just another window in my program. Has anyone done this before   This isn't what's happening. The Webrowser control has been supplied as a wrapper for the Active-X webbrowser and you are using that. There are no such analogs for the utilties you mentioned.     ...Show All

• Windows Forms Is it possible to create a Wizard from Windows Forms?

     I am creating an application in MS Visual Studio C++ .NET 2003 Standard, that gives the user utilities to create, modify, print, and view files of data.     The data acquisition part follows a standard process, similar to filing taxes, you don't start at the end. This data acquisition could have numerous options and depending on the options selected it may provide a different set of questions or objects.    For this application I felt a wizard would be helpfull, but I have not been able to get it to work. So, I used windows form added a panel at the top for the title and description. Then ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Maximized borderless forms on Pocket PC

  Hi, after migrating an existing application to .NET CF 2.0 I experience an ugly behaviour with my maximized, borderless forms: I'm displaying stacked modal forms e.g. one modal form opens another, then that one closes etc. The not-so-nice thing is that now under CF 2.0, the Windows Start menu is briefly visible between the close of the child form and the redraw of the parent form. This was working nicely under CF 1.0 and seems to be a problem of CF 2.0. Any ideas or workarounds Thanks, Detlev Hi Detlev, Have you been able to solve the forms issue. I've just migrated from VS 2003 CF 1.0 to VS 2005 CF ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Mobile Distributed Application in Application Diagram

  I've a quick question: how can I design a mobile solution using VSTS In AD there's not a mobile application and using a Windows Application instead I cannot implement it usign a the mobile application template. Also in LDD there's not a Device Client (I've used a windows client). For a BizLayer component (for windows application as well) I cannot use a Windows Application because it cannot be implemented usign a Class Library Project template. I need to create a new SDM for Mobile Apps (and for Biz/DAL Layer component) or I've missed something Maybe in this Beta2 there aren't many SDM for mobile, components etc For time now, I've used ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Read specific line from a file?

  Hi, Is there a method to read a specific line of a text file The StreamReader class does not seem to have a method to do so. The Peek method isn't what I'm looking for either. Would appreciate your help. Thanks. Will threading help If you know in advance what is the file to be processed, you can start a thread to index it first. I did a simple test program, and indeed, with indexing, reading any line is extremely fast. In my program, if the user wants to read a line that has been indexed, the result is displayed immediately, otherwise, a timer is started to repeatedly check if the line has been indexed.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Error C2248

  I searched for other cases of this error, and could not find anything similar to this. The online help hinted at the cause but the solution did not work. I was unable to paste into this form (Win 2000, IE 6 SP1), so I have pasted some code samples at http://spaces.msn.com/members/robertjohnson/ If anyone can be bothered to read through this turgid example I'd like an opinion on how to get it to compile. It worked on VC 7 compiler, and it's probably me not understanding the error message. Thanks in advance. Well I'm glad the team fixed the bug in 7.1. So when's 8.1 coming out   I'll give it another go! ...Show All

I have a fresh setup of winxp sp2 without nor previous versions of .net framework 2.0 beta neither any other .net framework installed in this machine.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) C# 3.0 Feature Suggestion - symbols

  I was playing around with ruby the other day and was reminded of the ":" symbol as in "abc".send(:length), although ruby doesn't care if the :length symbol actually exists on the target, it gave me the idea that we could really use a language feature that would have compile time checking for class members to be used as an alternative to passing around field/property names as strings that are later used in reflection apis, O/R mappers, rule engines, WPF, etc. Reflection can be useful way to remove clutter from the domain model and make the code simpler it can also introduce hard to find bugs (if your tests aren't good enou ...Show All
