• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XamlReader and {StaticResource }

  Hi, I'm trying to dynamically create a DataTemplate from an XAML string using XamlReader, but I cannot reference a value converter static resource. If I omit staticresource references it compiles and loads correctly. What is the correct way of linking the resources of the application into the xaml being loaded I have tried ParserContext with Parent set to the ListBox that the dataTemplate will be assigned to. I was trying xaml similar to this which works when used in the standard non-dynamic way. <DataTemplate xmlns="..." > <StackPanel> <Image Source={Bind XPath=@Id , Converter={StaticResource IdToI ...Show All

• SQL Server Store Arabic Date into the table

  Can anyone please tell me that how to store the arabic date into the table. I created a table with two date feilds, one for english date and another for arabic date. But i don't know how to inset the arabic date into the table. So please help me on this. Ragards Hanas Hi Hanas I think you are mixing data storage and data presentation . Data formatting should happen only when you present it to your user and in this case you can useConvert function with different convert styles: CONVERT ( data_type [ ( length ) ] , expression [ , style ] ) for example stype 101 will look like mm/dd/yy , o ...Show All

• Visual Studio Internet-remoting setup in VS 2005-client.

  I need to logon to a SourceSafe 2005-server in another part of the country. I managed to switch to the SourceSafe Internet-control, but when adding a new database, it asks for the URL (which I got, and I would belive works just fine), and a shared path to a SourceSafe-server-file. I got a little confused 'bout the last part, as the server is located on another network, with no access, but http. What to do  - Benne Miha is correct. Since the web service can serve multiple databases, you need to specify the known path of the VSS database. You don't need local access to that path, it is used by the ...Show All

  Hi, I have installed the VS SDK March 2006. While creating a project from the "Domain Specific Language Designer" template, the wizard crashes in the details screen.

• Windows Forms Installing 2 versions of the same application on the same machine with ClickOnce.

  Hi, Is it possible to install 2 different versions of the same application on the same machine with ClickOnce I would like to have the possibility to have a production version and a dev/test version of my app on the same machine, for obviuos reasons. I was hoping to achieve that by changing 'Publishing Location' and 'Product Name' in the Publish Option of ClickOnce, but doing that still installs one version on top of the other, it just changes the app name :( The only way I could find, using ClickOnce, was to change the output name of my application...for example: MyAppLive and MyAppTest. But I would rather avoid that...Is there ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Visual Basic Excel Project

  Ok, I have posted many times on this forum for this subject, but so far I am yet to find the answer I'm looking for. I am trying to create a very simple application with Visual Basic 2005.

How can I determine on whitch one of these controls the user right-clicked to get the context menu and select an option I gess it can be done in the menu option click event handler, but I do not know how.
