• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What's a good way to Render to a bitmap that is a different size to the Visual?

  I've got a fancy looking chart control I've written, and people will use it to generate plots for Powerpoint presentations, so I need to be able to copy the plots to some fixed size like say 1024x768. Say I have a button "Copy Plot To Bitmap". Ok my code will look like this: private BitmapSource RenderToBitmap( double width, double height) { double baseHeight = this .ActualHeight; double baseWidth = this .ActualWidth; this .LayoutTransform = new ScaleTransform (baseWidth/width, baseHeight/height); RenderTargetBitmap rtb = new RenderTargetBitmap (width, height, 96d*width/baseWidth, 96d*heig ...Show All

  Hi. I'm trying to use a code library written in C# in visual basic, but i cant figure out how to do it. Here's the library: i want to be able to use the functions in it in VB. I've tried compile it into a class library and then add it as a reference in visual basic, but it still doesn't work. mattias Where is the library There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to import and call a C# library from VB.NET, in fact to VB it will look the same as if it was also written in VB, as it's been compiled to the same IL.

• SQL Server Is copy of database and log file enough for backup?

  Hello, i would like to copy the SQL Server Express database .mdf and .ldf files for backup. Is this ok Autoclose = true and recovery model = simple.

• Visual C# MCE Remote Control

  Hi! I'm new the forums, so please excuse me if this has been brought up before. Anyway, my question is if anyone knows how to directly receive codes from a eHome Media Center remote that comes with many new Media Center PCs. The reason why I ask is that I'm attempting to write a WinLIRC server for the remote. While some commands on the remote already output as "normal" keystrokes, some however do not; for example the Play button. The only thing I've been able to find online is a link to MSDN ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnwmt/html/remote_control.asp ) that shows me what some of the Win32 messages a ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Aligning an ItemsPresenter inside a Grid

  I am playing with the TreeViewItem control template, trying to align a tree node header and node children along the left side. The template is a 2x3 grid with the header taking up last two cells on the top and the children taking up the last two cells on the bottom (as an ItemsPresenter). The problem is the ItemsPresenter has some indentation that I can't seem to remove. I have set Margin="0,0,0,0", HorizontalAlignment="Left", and Padding="0,0,0,0" on every element involved where it is legal and still there is some indentation. A possible solution to align the two is to move the header right, but this give ...Show All

• Visual C# Help me : Recognise a word by press Ctrl+ right mouse click

• .NET Development Add datacolumn to the datatable at a specified index

  Hello, I have a dataset that gets its data from an olap server database. the columns I get is Description, 2002, 2003. however I have my criteria for selection as 2001, thru 2003. the database restricts the columns that have all 0's in it. hence i have the missing 2001. This is for faster processing time. Now I am trying to add the columns 2001(in between description and 2002) with all 0's in its rows. I see that there is Table.columns.Add, but none for AddAt. How do i Achieve this. I need to add a new column at a specified index. in this case i need to add column at index 1. I do not want to add it to the end of the collection, as my next l ...Show All
