• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) TreeView Multiselect - fishing for ideas

  I need a multiselect TreeView control. The TreeView provided in WPF doesn't have this functionality so I am going to implement it myself (as I did with Windows.Forms). So I have the selection logic already, I just need to implement the UI side and a way of keeping track of whats selected. In Windows.Forms I had a collection of TreeNodes that I painted when they were added to the collection, and unpainted when they were removed. TreeView is more data based so I need something different. I'm still climbing the learning curve with WPF, so I thought I would fish for ideas a bit. One Idea I had is that I have a Dependency Property like T ...Show All

• .NET Development Install service via Installer

  Hi all, I have a Windows Service project, and an Installer project to create a .MSI for it.  I'd like for the MSI to install the service after it is done installing the project.  I think I need to do this with a Commit Custom Action, but cannot figure out how.

• Visual Studio Team System Working folder already in use by another workspace on this computer

  I am getting this message on a computer on which there are no other workspaces for that computer. In addition, all of the working folders have been deleted for the workspace that I am working in. We do occasionally log into that box with another user name, but there were no workspaces defined under that login either. (Besides, can't we see all the known workspaces if you log into TFS as admin anyway -- BTW: I don't particularly like that "feature" under the standard workspace editing location for admins because its easy to grab the wrong one.) You may want to try running "tf workspaces /server:[ser ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Unhandled exception after modifying controls in designer

  I converted a project form VB7. After a little tweaking it builds without any errors. The program runs fine and publishes without problem. Where the problem starts is if you change the font size or move a control on form with designer the program throws an unhandled exception when you debug. If you undo the changes in the designer it still throws the exception. I have to delete the form and load an unmodified backup copy to get program to work again. You can modify the controls in code and it works fine. Anyone have experience with this problem. System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled Message="An error occurred creating t ...Show All

• Visual Studio More custom code questions

  I've been through Brian Likes's custom code blog entries and I can get code to work but only the easiest of examples. I'm using a local report rather than SQL reporting services so I think that a custom assembly might be easier in my case, and hopefully the deployment code (likely ClickOnce) will understand that there is a referenced assembly. But using a custom assembly or even just local code, I can get Hello World to work but I can't figure out how to pass the report variables such as Field!MyPerson.Value to the code in order to do anything useful. If anyone has a suggestion as the the passing mechanism I would greatly appreciate an e ...Show All

• Visual J# Difficulty of porting to J# from Sun Java?

  I asked the same question in Sun's web site, which got me some cold faces. I hope folks here would be nice. i m only seeking an advice. my app was originaly developed under Sun's JDK 1.1.4, but as i kept adding more fetures on it, it has been optimised to a 1.4.2 app, and some parts of the code are using 1.5's. Due to the fact that my clients mainly use windows and they only like Word(no open office), and i find it's really hard to deal with Word using java, so i m thinking of building a native app for windows and by using the .net library, let me generate word document more easily. we are just small company, we dont have enough man power ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Determining Channel

  Looking through the Intermediary Router sample, I was trying to figure out how the SoapRouter was called correctly. Specifically, there are 4 different ProcessMessages (e.g. 1 for simplex, duplex, request/reply, etc). Where is the logic that determines which one is actually called. It must be in the pipeline somwhere that I am not seeing. Thanks for any help, -Mathew Nolton Good that you figured it out. I am responding so others who have the same question can know how the sample works.

• SQL Server Configuration Manager ?

  Each time you start a SSIS project you have Solutions Configuration showing "Development". In the drop down box you can select "Configuration Manager..." Can someone tell me the use of this, and is it related to the package configurations somehow. I've tried to create new Solution Configurations like "Test" and "Production" with the purpose of binding different configuration files and deplymentfolders to each Solution Configuration but still it seems like this isn't the way i should be used... What you are asking and what cpgl described seems totally unnecessary if you only use the built in Configuration ...Show All
