• Visual Studio Including different app.config in different build configurations

  I've created separate solution configurations because I need to publish my app (for ClickOnce installation) at multiple locations and each has it's own URL, file location, etc. So that works great. But, I also want to have different app.config files for each deployment (since they also have different connection strings and other settings), and I can't find a way to do that. Any ideas Thanks, JR I've ended up using VSS and shared projects to work around this. I just branch app.config for each different project. If there is a cleaner way to do this, I'm all ears. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Adding a New XML TextDocument

  Hi, I'm new the extensibililty interfaces and have managed to figure how to dynamically add a new TextDocument to the application's Documents collection.  I was wondering how to create a new XML document -- meaning the XML editor is managing the new document window   Thanks very much. - Erik The XML Editor has it's own EditorFactory, so you can just call  IVsUIShellOpenDocument OpenDocumentViaProjectWithSpecific with the XML editor factory GUID which is FA3CD31E-987B-443A-9B81-186104E8DAC1 and LOGVIEWID_Code if you want to be sure to get the XML text view rather than some associated XMl designer. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting the content of a WPF button to System.Drawing.Icon

  Hi, Is it possible to set the content of a System.Windows.Controls.Button (or other WPF element) to a System.Drawing.Icon Doing so only seems to display the text '(icon)'. When you add an icon to a WPF applications 'resources.resx' file, the designer code behind it exposes it as a 'System.Drawing.Icon' class. Thanks Here is an example (maybe not the best ont but it works): XAML: <Window xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:m="clr-namespace:TestWPF" x:Class="Window1" xmlns:IcoToImageConverter="clr-namespace: ...Show All

• Visual C++ separate class files for namespaces

  I'm writing some C++ library classes that I plan to use in my applications. Making a DLL. I write the classes in my_class.h, my_class.cpp file pairs. If I wish to organize these classes into namespaces, how do I do it without cutting & pasting the code text into a suingle translation unit Should I be using a MFC library object or a .NET class library Could you clarify your question What do you mean by "single translation unit" Namespaces are a logical organization of code and are unrelated to physical deployment. i.e. One DLL or assembly can contain one or more namespaces and a namespace can be spread ...Show All

• SQL Server Conditional MDX ?

  I've got a solution where I need to apply some adjustment to a measure for a given scope: Scope ([Organization].[Organization].&[13], [Product].[Division Temperature].&[Frozen], [Measures].[FOB]); This = [Measures].[FOB] - 1.25; End Scope ; This works fine, but given that this solution uses role based security to limit access to specific dimension data, there are some roles that don't have access to the [Organization].[Organization].&[13] and the MDX fails parsing. Is there any way to make a conditional MDX that I can use to only apply the given MDX SCOPE when the role has access to the dimensions used in th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Designers built to access fields only?

  Designers for activities like InvokeMemberActivity and EventSinkActivity show only fields (member variables) in the drop-down list of available choices for parameters. These lists do not include public properties. Why It's always been our practice to make member variables private and control access to them through public properties. I can manually type in the property name, but the designer tries to add a field to the XOML file (which clashes with the already-existing property). If I remove the field entry from the XOML, everything compiles and runs just fine. So, in other words, the flow engine can use properties just as well as fields. Bu ...Show All
