• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is it OK to implement IValueConverter on the custom control class itself?

  I have a custom control that displays a lot of lines as a Polyline (to display a histogram ;-)). Therefore I implemented a IValueConverter, that converts my histogram to a PointCollection. My question is, is it OK to implement the IValueConverter on my custom control class itself as I sometimes need some more information during the conversion that is only available in the control class It is ok to implement IValueConverter on your control class, but i wouldn't recommend it. IValueConverter is a concept used to abstract UI from the underlying application logic, and by making your control implement IValueConv ...Show All

• SQL Server Setting DTS DataType on added column: codepage.

  When writing custom component, and and adding a column to the output, the DTS DataType must be set using SetDataTypeProperties. One parameter is codepage (int). What value(s) can I enter there  Where can I find this information   It will really depend on where the data originates, but I should say it would be a good bet for most situations, as people normally work in one codepage accross most applications. Unicode would be easier still! ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Executing SequenceActivity's without a workflow

  In the "ActivityValidators running on compile" thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=238313&SiteID=1), Jon Flanders wrote, "...

I haven't found any documentation regarding this yet, and wonder if someone could either point me to some or provide a bit ...Show All
