• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Proper documentation for WPF?

  Hello! Is there some proper written description of WPF somewhere, for instance for download from the Microsoft website. Concerning proper I mean some documentation which present a complete conceptual driven presentation of WPF with operational directions of examples. I think the SDK browser is very poor in presenting an overview of the area. I think it works much better for situations holding only a small amount of information. By the way the search feature of these forums also works incredibly poor, for instance the same thread may show up a whole lot of time for a given search. A question for you who may answer questions in her ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL2005 SP1 may fail on Integration Services

  I ran across this issue the other day and thought it might be helpful to others who have or will experience the issue.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DataContracts do not transmit properly (Feb CTP)

  Hello, I am building a simple chat client to evaluate the applicability of WCF to our current project. However, I am having a problem where a custom class (Fig. 1) appears to send out the data stored in it just fine, as far as I can step through anyway. But on the receiving side, the class arrives with all data fields nulled. I am using the NetTcpBinding and synchronous messaging. I am also using the SvcUtil tool to generate the metadata and proxies. Figure 1.

• Visual C++ Newbie: Can't use WinAPI because included twice

  Sorry for this lame question, but I've spent hours trying to solve this ridiculous problem. I'm trying to use the Windows API GetGUIThreadInfo, but because (I believe) it is declared twice (in winable.h and winuser.h, which I believe are implicitly included) I cannot use it. I get an identifier not found error. What do I do so I can use GetGUIThreadInfo I haven't used C++ for a long time, and I'm not sure if I ever encountered this problem before. Please help. TIA Problem fixed! Seems that the problem was in the definitions #define WINVER 0x04 #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x04 in the program's main head ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Bug in MS Project integration

  In project, when you import items and then select the task column, the dropdown arrow appears but then disappears almost immediately. In order to get it to stay selectable I have to open the properties for the item and then close them and the drop down arrow stays visible. Jeff Jeff, It appears that this issue was reported and fixed before the Beta3 bits were released. Can you please confirm the version of the Team foundation server and client you are using Thanks! ...Show All

• .NET Development Deploying WSE3 to servers using GPO

  I have successfully deployed the WSE3 runtime to all my client systems using a GPO with the runtime MSI. Now, I would like to automate the deployment of the WSE3 to my servers. As part of the deployment, I want to install both the runtime and the admin tools, not just the runtime. Is there some way to use the full WSE3 MSI to deploy to my servers Thanks, Erick Hello Erick, From my knowledge, there is no way to do a silent install of the full WSE3.0 application. I think you only have that options for the runtime-package. I'll do some research on this a little later and post back to this thread if there ...Show All
