• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) AddVisualChild question

  I have a design where I want to load a visual dynamically from an assembly (a plug-in system). I won't know which assembly or namespace ahead of time, so this has to happein in code-behind and not in xaml. I have created a class that derives from FrameworkElement called PluginHost. PluginHost loads the visual from the assembly and creates it just fine, but I can't figure out how to get the visual instance added to the PluginHost. AddVisualChild doesn't seem to do anything. VisualChildrenCount still shows zero and nothing appears after the call. Can someone help To add visuals to your class you need to ...Show All

• Smart Device Development _AFX_NO_PRINTING_SUPPORT and MFC8 for WinCE

  now in the MFC8 the _AFX_NO_PRINTING_SUPPORT is defined and all the printing mng is not available anymore for MFC8 under WinCE (for Example the definition of the CPrintInfo, all the BeginPrint etc for the CView is missing). I've ported an application from EVC4 that was using these functionalities Now, instead of hacking my MFC8 version (recompile it for every) I'd like to know if this is going to be implemented again in the next upcoming service pack or not thanks I can not see that it is defined. I see that there are #ifndef _AFX_NO_PRINTING_SUPPORT, but since this is not defined ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Service Identities in February CTP

  What exactly is the relation between following identies in the context of a WCF service: System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity ServiceSecurityContext.Current.PrimaryIdentity ServiceSecurityContext.Current.WindowsIdentity Are they all referring to the same identity when a service is configured with Windows security Thanks. I had a different story. I configured IIS to be the host and it is running under ASPNET on xp. The virtual directory for WCF service is set to both anonymous and integrated windows authentication. The service method is not enforcing impersonation through attribute or coding. The service is set to message ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions .Net Framework 2.0 Fails Installation

  I am having extreme difficulty trying to install VB 2005 Express Edition. The software appears to install ok until near the end when the log shows the 1603 error. I am running winxp on a Inspiron 6000. .Net Framework 1.1 is installed, but I have read should not prevent 2.0 install. .Net framework 2.0 beta has not been installed and there is no evidence that it has. The failure seems to be in the .Net Framework 2.0 installation. It fails due to an internal exception during install operation: 0xc000001d at 0x746A8C34 (See Log). I think the "1D" error is STATUS _ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION. I have tried numerous things I saw in other posts to ...Show All

• Visual C# Issues with service uninstallation

  Hi, I have written a service using C# then linked an installer to it as per article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ url=/library/en-us/dnvsdev05/html/vs05d1.asp and everything is OK as far as the installation is concerned, the service also starts and stops as expected. However, when I try to uninstall the service, the installer removes all the files associated with the service as expected, but does not remove any of the corresponding entries from the registry. I am therefore left with a machine where the registry no longer matches what is installed on the machine. The only way to fix it is to manually remove the entries from the re ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Convert std::string to LPCWSTR (best way in c++)

  Hi! How can I convert an std::string to a LPCWSTR What is the best way to do it in C++ Thanks. "Ciao guaglio!" FabioDeSantis wrote: How can I convert an std::string to a LPCWSTR What is the best way to do it in C++ Instead of using a std::string, use a std::wstring (also called a std::basic_string<wchar_t>). I get the feeling you want to pass a std::string type to a Win32 API. Those APIs don't take LPCWSTRs (or even LPCSTRs), they take a LPCTSTR (long pointer to a tchar-string). In this case, your question should have been: "How do I convert a std::string to a LPCTSTR " Inst ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Need automatic notifications of bugs and work items via emails

  We've got two offshore teams using the Team Foundation Server remotely. Sometimes, it's not easy for them to access TFS remotely via Visual Studio due to connection speeds and disruptions of connection in foreign contries. It'll be great if automatic email notifications can be set up for Team Projects on bugs and work items so they could stay on top of their tasks/priorities. Individual users can sign up for Alerts on Work Item and Version Control changes by opening Visual Studio, connecting to the Team Foundation server. On the Team menu select Project Alerts ...
