• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) BUG: Scrollviewer problems with mouse events

  ScrollViewer has problems with mouse events. In XAML I try setting a MouseLeftButtonDown handler. It doesn't respond to that event. MouseLeftButtonUp works though.

• Visual C# XmlReader question -- reading nested elements

  I have an XmlReader that's passed to a method while it's at the very beginning of an element elem1. ...Rest of document... <elem1 attr1="val1" attr2="val2"> <elem2 attr3="val3" /> <elem2 attr4="val4" attr5="val5" /> <elem2 attr6="val6" attr7="val7" /> </elem1> ...Rest of document... Here's what I want to do but can't figure out how to: 1. Stop processing immediately if the XmlReader is NOT at an <elem1> element with zero or more nested <elem2> elements.

• Visual C# Fastest possible update of a Bitmap

  Hi Assuming image is a Bitmap, is this the quickest way (outside of hardware) to manipulate the bytes bmData = image.LockBits(new Rectangle(0, 0, image.Width, image.Height), ImageLockMode.ReadWrite, PixelFormat.Format32bppRgb); scanline = bmData.Stride; Scan0 = bmData.Scan0; q = (int *)(void *)Scan0; *(q + offest) = someByte image.UnlockBits(bmData); Thanks Ah, yes... that is a good way.  I do something similar (but not quite that good--I'll have to update my approach :) You're correct that it doesn't require the use of "unsafe" code, but it does require Full Trust, which is almost the same thing... -Ryan / Kardax ...Show All

• Windows Forms Trouble copying files to network folder

  I am getting an error when trying to copy a file over to a network folder.  The file being copied is only a couple megs, and there is 25GB free on the network drive it's being copied to.  From the looks of it the user has the appropriate permissions setup to write to that folder. P.S. We are using Windows Explorer in XP Pro SP2, and going to a Server 2003 server.  The file is actually a JPEG and if the user opens the image and does a "file save as" he can save it to the folder no problem, just can't copy via Win Explorer. Any Ideas  I'm stumped.... Thanks! The error message I'm receiving is "There is not enough free ...Show All
