• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Canvas

  Hi, I would like to know how do you get the position of elements without calling Canvas.SetLeft() etc. Canvas.GetTop, Canvas.GetLeft, etc. only seem to work when you have used Canvas.SetTop, etc., and not on elements that are positioned with Layouts like the stackpanel, gridpanel etc. I would like to know how do you retrieve the position of elements added within the .xaml file and not in the code-behind. Example: (Assume the code works) <Canvas> <Grid Height="30"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="20" /> <ColumnDefinition /> </Grid.ColumnDefinition ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Drill down in free form designer or sequential workflow designer

  Hello, When using the State Machine workflow designer, after you add a supported activity (e.g. EventDriven) to a State activity, you can double click on the child activity and the State Machine workflow designer will update; all the top level states will be hidden and the user sees just those activities that are children of the selected activity (e.g. EventDriven).  For example, if you have a State Machine workflow with five State activities, and the first state Activity contains a StateInitialization and an EventDriven activity, if you double click the EventDriven activity, the workflow designer will change, showing just the E ...Show All

• Visual Studio Building dbgmetric.ilb with wchar_t native on?

  The VSIP B2 read suggests fixing the wchar_t problem by rebuilding dbgmetric.lib setting the option "Treat wchar_t as Built-in Type" to "Yes".

How would it worlk in a SOA at all Well, let start by asking whats your definition of SOA I like this one: A service-oriented architecture is a collection of services that communicate with each other. The services are self-contained and do not depend on the context or state of the other service. They work within a ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to to let 2 projects communicate to each other? (MVC)

  I have an addIn project and a webform project. If something changes in the addIn project, the webproject should be notified (Model View Controller) and vice versa. One solution to this is using sockets, but I am no so sure if that is the best solution. If I make in my webform project a reference to the addin project, a copy of the addIn-dll will be made. So this won't work, because the addIn project should be able to notify the web project. Suggestions Regards With a service you mean a Windows Service of Visual Studio I guess. But how can I subcribe both projects to the third (Windows Service) project (wihtou ...Show All
