Yes, Aero lies about the window size returned by GetWindowRect(). It is a rather important appcompat hack, without it far too many programs would have a client area that’s too small. Unfortunately there’s neither an API call nor a manifest entry that can be used to turn off the lie. The only way is to … Read more
Specifically, like this in C#: #if (DEBUG) Debug Stuff #endif C# has the following preprocessor directives: #if #else #elif // Else If #endif #define #undef // Undefine #warning // Causes the preprocessor to fire warning #error // Causes the preprocessor to fire a fatal error #line // Lets the preprocessor know where this source line … Read more
While the normal rule of thumb is to always call Dispose() on all IDisposable implementations, Task and Task<T> are often one case where it’s better to let the finalizer take care of this. The reason Task implements IDisposable is mainly due to an internal WaitHandle. This is required to allow task continuations to work properly, … Read more
I usually think about natural vs artificial quantities. Natural quantities are things like weight, height and time. These will never be measured absolutely accurately, and there’s rarely any idea of absolutely exact arithmetic on it: you shouldn’t generally be adding up heights and then making sure that the result is exactly as expected. Use double … Read more
Try this instead, remove the SelectCommand property and SelectParameters: <asp:SqlDataSource ID=”SqlDataSource1″ runat=”server” ConnectionString=”<%$ ConnectionStrings:itematConnectionString %>”> Then in the code behind do this: SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add(“userId”, userId.ToString()); SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = “SELECT items.name, items.id FROM items INNER JOIN users_items ON items.id = users_items.id WHERE (users_items.user_id = @userId) ORDER BY users_items.date DESC” While this worked for me, the following code also … Read more
What Alex says is the way to go. But I think its a little confusing to understand what he is saying. Assuming you have your project open in Visual Studio, open another Visual Studio instance and select Debug->Attach To Process. In the dialog which opens select XDesProc.exe (which is the XAML UI Designer) for VS2012 … Read more
Very late to the party, but this regexp works: /[ -~]/. How? It matches all characters in the range from space (ASCII DEC 32) to tilde (ASCII DEC 126), which is the range of all printable characters. If you want to strip non-ASCII characters, you could use something like: $someString.replace(/[^ -~]/g, ”); NOTE: this is … Read more
You can use the DataAnnotations.Validator class, as described here: http://johan.driessen.se/archive/2009/11/18/testing-dataannotation-based-validation-in-asp.net-mvc.aspx But if you’re using a “buddy” class for the metadata, you need to register that fact before you validate, as described here: http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/149264/377212.aspx TypeDescriptor.AddProviderTransparent( new AssociatedMetadataTypeTypeDescriptionProvider(typeof(myEntity), typeof(myEntityMetadataClass)), typeof(myEntity)); List<ValidationResult> results = new List<ValidationResult>(); ValidationContext context = new ValidationContext(myEntity, null, null) bool valid = Validator.TryValidateObject(myEntity, context, … Read more
Actually there’s 2 main reasons that the default project type for WPF applications is x86. Intellitrace debugging only works with x86 and that would look pretty bad if the default project templates didn’t work with one of their star features. Many developers were still not aware of the fact that their AnyCPU exe’s would run … Read more
You haven’t done anything wrong, this is expected to happen. If you want nothing more than your own DLL being added to a new .NET Framework project, you have to target .NET Standard 2.0 for your library wait for a .NET Framework version that natively supports both the API and assembly versions – which is … Read more
