This help ! Thanks !!!!

So how do I link a table of one db, to a the same table on a different db ... ?

It has to be up to date at ALL times... It's a sql database...

Hi there, I want a way to stream data from one table in one database to the same table on a different machine. Is there a way? Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Hugo

I've seen this before ... I think I might just user the old school method and go with something like:

StringBuilder SetSoundScript = new StringBuilder();

SetScrollPositionScript.AppendLine("<script language='javascript' event='onload' for='window'>");

// Do some sound stuff here on certain events ....
SetScrollPositionScript.AppendLine("</script>");

ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock(typeof(String), "setSound", SetSoundScript.ToString());

I HATE THIS WAY ! Why can't LiveControls just be FREE !

Hi all, Does anybody know a way of playing a sound when an event occurs. Please don't give me the embed and GDSOUND (or whatever) stuff... I need something that can play a sound when an updatepanel refreshes, or a timertick event occurs, or any event occurs... I found this LiveSound stuff, but that's WAY too expensive ... ANY help would be much appreciated, cause I can't find anything ... and i've been looking for a few days now ... I'll do ANYTHING for a way to do it .... C# please... Kind regards, Hugo

I hate you !!! (Previous dude) There is a LiveSound tool that you can use ... but it's EXPENSIVE !!!! Otherwise you'll have to use AJAX (Let my cry with you !) :,-(

ta

You don't even want to know what I had to do to fix this !!!! It's INSANE !

I remember having this problem.... I had to do some magic on the actual date time by hiding and showing the actual boxes....

Got snoop ... didn't think of using it. Why the DataContext ? If the DataContext is not the correct one, how does one go about setting the correct one ...?

Hi all, I have a simple listview that has a currently selected item binding as follow:

<ListView HorizontalAlignment="Left" Width="300" Name="ServiceListView" SelectionChanged="ServiceListView_SelectionChanged" SelectedValue="{Binding CurrentlySelectedService}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.Column="0">
<ListView.View>
<GridView>
<GridViewColumn Header="Machine">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label x:Name="ServiceNames" Content="{Binding ServiceController.MachineName}" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn Header="Service Names">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label x:Name="ServiceNames" Content="{Binding ServiceController.ServiceName}" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
<GridViewColumn Header="Service status">
<GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<Label Width="80" x:Name="ServiceStatus" Content="{Binding ServiceController.CurrentStatus}" Background="{Binding ServiceController.ServiceStatusColour}" />
</DataTemplate>
</GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
</GridViewColumn>
</GridView>
</ListView.View>
</ListView>

And obviously in the constructor I do the following to enable bindings:

DataContext = this;

The problem: The binding to SelectedValue="{Binding CurrentlySelectedService}" works 100% (well, sort of). In my DEV environment it works 100% and the currently selected item works 100%. But for some or other reason when I deploy this to a Windows server 2003 box (with .Net 3.5 installed), the binding doesn't work anymore... How can I debug this issue? Has anyone experienced this problem before? This is not my first time experiencing this problem. I've seen this a few times now, but it seems to be very PC specific. It will work 100% on one pc, and then completely FAILS on another. Any help would be much appreciated.

lol, I over complicated this a bit. The final solution I made was as follow:

<tool:DatePicker Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="8" SelectedDate="{Binding BirthDate}" ViewModels:PatronViewModel.DatePickerGotFocus="{Binding}" Height="34" FontSize="18">
tool:DatePicker.LayoutTransform
<ScaleTransform ScaleY="1.5" ScaleX="1.5"></ScaleTransform>
</tool:DatePicker.LayoutTransform>
tool:DatePicker.CalendarStyle
<Style TargetType="tool:Calendar">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="tool:Calendar">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" x:Name="Root">
<tool:Calendar x:Name="Calendar" ViewModels:PatronViewModel.OnCalenderLoaded="{Binding}" SelectedDate="{Binding BirthDate}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
tool:Calendar.LayoutTransform
<ScaleTransform ScaleX="2" ScaleY="2"></ScaleTransform>
</tool:Calendar.LayoutTransform>
</tool:Calendar>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</tool:DatePicker.CalendarStyle>
</tool:DatePicker>

So by simply scaling the DatePicker, I got a cool touch screen DatePicker....

ok, after A LOT of struggling, I managed to make a work around... but, it's not pretty !!! An easier solution would be much appreciated. What I did, was the following:

<Controls:DatePicker Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="6" SelectedDate="{Binding BirthDate}" ViewModels:EmployeeViewModel.DatePickerGotFocus="{Binding}">
Controls:DatePicker.CalendarStyle
<Style TargetType="Controls:Calendar">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Controls:Calendar">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" x:Name="Root">
<Controls:Calendar x:Name="Calendar" ViewModels:EmployeeViewModel.OnCalenderLoaded="{Binding}" SelectedDate="{Binding BirthDate}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
Controls:Calendar.CalendarDayButtonStyle
<Style>
<Setter Property="Button.Height" Value="50"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Button.Width" Value="50"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Button.FontSize" Value="20"></Setter>
</Style>
</Controls:Calendar.CalendarDayButtonStyle>
Controls:Calendar.CalendarButtonStyle
<Style>
<Setter Property="Button.Height" Value="50"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Button.Width" Value="50"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Button.FontSize" Value="20"></Setter>
</Style>
</Controls:Calendar.CalendarButtonStyle>
</Controls:Calendar>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
</Controls:DatePicker.CalendarStyle>
</Controls:DatePicker>

Then I made attached properties for the DatePicker and Calendar as follow:

private Calendar _calender;
private DatePicker _datePicker;

Hi, I have a DatePicker, where I set the CalendarStyle (I'm using mvvm). The issue is, when I select a day on the calender, nothing happens (Looks like the Click event just never fires, or something.) The Control looks as follow:

<tool:DatePicker Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="8" SelectedDate="{Binding BirthDate}" CalendarStyle="{DynamicResource CalenderStyleNew}"></tool:DatePicker>

Where the style looks as follow:

<Style TargetType="Controls:Calendar" x:Key="CalenderStyleNew">
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>
<ControlTemplate TargetType="Controls:Calendar">
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Center" x:Name="Root">
<Controls:Calendar x:Name="Calendar" SelectedDate="{TemplateBinding SelectedDate}" Background="{TemplateBinding Background}" BorderBrush="{TemplateBinding BorderBrush}" BorderThickness="{TemplateBinding BorderThickness}">
Controls:Calendar.CalendarDayButtonStyle
<Style>
<Setter Property="Button.Height" Value="50"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Button.Width" Value="50"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Button.FontSize" Value="20"></Setter>
</Style>
</Controls:Calendar.CalendarDayButtonStyle>
Controls:Calendar.CalendarButtonStyle
<Style>
<Setter Property="Button.Height" Value="50"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Button.Width" Value="50"></Setter>
<Setter Property="Button.FontSize" Value="20"></Setter>
</Style>
</Controls:Calendar.CalendarButtonStyle>
</Controls:Calendar>
</StackPanel>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

I need the buttons bigger, because it's a touch screen app... Test this in your app, and you'll see, nothing happens when you select a day... Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Hugo

OK, so what I basically did was to abuse the fact that the card reader functions like a keyboard. I basically obtain all the devices on the computer and display them the the user. The user can then select which device is the card reader. I intercept all the messages coming from the card reader then, and set focus to the correct text box (etc) as required. A nice little thingy that I saw was, that most magnetic stripe cards end with the "return" character. So when it hits the last character, I can simply test for a return (enter), and it will fire off events that obtain my required data from the database... Thanks for all the help ! MUCH appreciated ! :) PS: For help, email me or send me a msg, I'll gladly help.

Yes you can ... this works brilliantly !

Thank you very much .... I suppose I will abuse the fact that it works like a keyboard... with the same events, etc. This fact works well for me ! Thanks for your help !

Hi, How does one go about, catching the events of a USB card reader... Currently, when I open notepad and swipe a card, the information on the card is printed automatically in plain text.(Windows installed standard drivers). How do I go about obtaining the data event, where the data is written? How can I obtain the data written via a simple C# application. Does anyone understand my question. If vague, plz ask. Any help or starting point (documentation) would be much appreciated. Kinds regards, Higs

Hi, I created a service with the config file of the client set as follow:

<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<netTcpBinding>

openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"

<identity>
<dns value="CN=bonkers.gendac.co.za" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
</system.serviceModel>

Now, I need to be able to set the EndpointAdress in code, which is simple

myService.Endpoint.Address = new EndpointAddress(textBox3.Text);

But, this make the EndpointIdentity NULL... So one can set the EnpointIdentity as follow:

myService.Endpoint.Address = new EndpointAddress(new Uri(textBox3.Text), epIdentity,
System.ServiceModel.Channels.AddressHeader.
CreateAddressHeader("ConfigurationManagerTcp",
textBox3.Text, 1));
