• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Path & Data

  Hello, I just sow some XAML examples of dealing with Path's Data like: <Path Data="L 100, 200 ..."> I wonder if I can do the same by code The only Path's Data I can see is of Geometry type and it doesn't allow for XAML-like simplified syntax. Thanks. Yes you can. Assuming this Xaml declaration: < Path Name = " _path " Stroke = " Black " StrokeThickness = " 2 " Fill = " Lime " /> just add this line in your code: _path.SetValue ( Path .

• SQL Server "Too low memory" and XML in cache

  Hi, I've read that the parser can use 1/8th of the available memory for the xml-cache, but I've run into this limit much sooner than I'd expect. I'm not using "sp_xml_preparedocument", but rather operating on columns with XML as datatype. This means I don't have the handle to the document and can't use "sp_xml_removedocument" to free the memory. It's a simple application written in C#, so should it be sufficient to "reset" the sql-connection or how should I do it *I've tried to keep the post as simple as I could, but I might have simplified it too much * ...Show All

• .NET Development Using TransactionScope to share transactions between Methods

  Hi, Before we start: This is all taking place on a single database. And I really don't want the overhead of Distributed Transactions. If I want to have lots of separate data access routines that do work on the database. Sometimes I want these routines to take part in a larger transaction. Sometimes they will just be running in their own transaction. I looked at TransactionScope and I thought this would do the trick. I now realise I would need to pass an open connection object in to each routine. TransactionScope takes care of sharing my transaction but it doesn't help me with sharing connections. Becuase... If I have 2 connection ...Show All

  Is there any way to change the image "Report is being generated" to something else or at least change the location of it.  I have a report that is very long and our users have to scroll down to see that.  They think the report is frozen when in all reality it is still generating.  It is postioning in the center of the page and I want it to position at the top.

• Visual Studio Team System Coded Webtest - capturing failure, taking action

  I have a coded Webtest that basically traverses my entire Content Management hierarchy, just looking for simple things like not going to error pages [thanks for the ValidateResponseUrl JoshC] and making sure all images load. When I view the results in the testing window when I run the test, I can see (1) if it failed my few validation rules, and (2) if any images are broken within the page. I think I'm missing something simple, because all I'd like to do, is when the current iteration of the WebTestRequest runs, I want to be able to see if it failed or not. If it fails, I want to do some action such as logging which images broke, just ...Show All
