• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Control

  What's the best way to create a  custom control purely by code force (C#) and no XAML I've seen ColorPicker control example, but I'd rather consider it as an axample of usage of XAML.

There you will not only get a faster, more accurate reply, but the answer will also go out to the commu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions New to C

  Hello. I was interested in programming in C and of course I bought a book. However the book is a little outdated, so they describe how to use the tools such as the compiler, etc. They teach you how to compile and link everything with Borland and Microsoft Visual C++. This book is C For Dummies, printed in '96. I downloaded Visual C++ and it has WAY more features than the one in the book has. I'm lost. Starting out he teaches you to do the usual "Hello world!" script, I started a new project, created a C file, typed in the code, saved it and... How do I compile I tried the Visual Studio command prompt, placed the C file where they told me ...Show All

  Just recently I've started getting errors 7694 which states that the backup command was not able to pause the fulltext catalog.

• .NET Development Type Fidelity and Web Services

  The company I'm a part of recently released a new verison of our distributed information processing system and while designing the thing I was presented with a few challenges that I'm now able to look back on and wonder if I did the right thing. The biggest design issue I had was wether or not it needed to be based on .NET Remoting or take the web servies approach. While I definitely would have liked taking the web services approach in partnership with WSE 2.0, because this system absolutely need a high level of type fidelity and was under the gun in terms of time, I decided to go the .NET remoting route and have a singleton remotable objec ...Show All

• .NET Development Using TransactionScope to share transactions between Methods

  Hi, Before we start: This is all taking place on a single database. And I really don't want the overhead of Distributed Transactions. If I want to have lots of separate data access routines that do work on the database. Sometimes I want these routines to take part in a larger transaction. Sometimes they will just be running in their own transaction. I looked at TransactionScope and I thought this would do the trick. I now realise I would need to pass an open connection object in to each routine. TransactionScope takes care of sharing my transaction but it doesn't help me with sharing connections. Becuase... If I have 2 connection ...Show All
