I am trying to emulate the preview that is in this app... The app I am referring to is an app for the iPad. I am trying to do this for my own touch screen WPF app. What I am wanting it a panel of some kind that I can pull up that shows a zoomed in version of a specified area that the user clicked. I have tried layout and render scale transforms the problem that I run into is that when the "preview" area is zoomed in and the user writes the "note" area shows the ink in the wrong place... Also the "preview" area looks terrible because of the scaling the background image is very pixelated. Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated thanks for you time. http://www.use.com/8cfcfc554a15fbba702e[^]

First of all I have a listbox in which I am using a data template to show a stackpanel with a textbox and buttons(one for each day of the week).. The question I have is because these stackpanels are added dynamically to the listbox is there some way that I can know the index of the item in the listbox from which a button is clicked. Using the button click event I don't see a way that I can tell if btnSunday is from row 0 or row 1. Any help would be appreciated thank you. Humble Programmer

I am writing a touchscreen application in WPF the tablets we are targeting are multitouch. My question is are there built in gestures in .NET or another Microsoft sdk. For instance what I would like to do is capture a long press event and a swipe for and possibly something like an X or Check. Humble Programmer

Could I maybe overload it with another parm? Humble Programmer

Can I change what the SHOW statement does.... For example it runs a certain SQL statement that is defined somewhere in mySQL. I wonder can I change that statement to do something different or maybe make it call a different statement. Humble Programmer

This may be a stupid question but is there a way that I can a statement in mySQL. I need to change how the SHOW statement works. I realize I could do this with a different function of my own but I am needing to use the existing function if possible. Any help is appreciated. Humble Programmer

I am fixing to begin writing an app the obvious design is simple however it will most likely not scale very well. What I am trying to do is have an app that notifies a user when an action needs to be taken. My initial thought was to have a table that it read based on user and showed new actions. I will have about 1000+- user hitting this app I want it to be fairly close to real time. So my question is how are other doing this? I have read about WCF however it seems convoluted and possibly overkill. Another thought I had was to have a service running on a server that could send messages out to the other apps it would only need be a one way communication. Are there other ways to accomplish this? I have read WCF has quite alot of overhead as well is this correct? Thank you, EDIT*** This a winforms app FYI. Humble Programmer -- Modified Tuesday, May 10, 2011 1:49 PM

Does anyone know of a way to read a IO stream from the .net adobe pdf viewer control. I am trying to extract entered text from a pdf. I realize I could do this from a pdf file however I would much prefer to do it from the viewer in memory. Humble Programmer

The best thing about coming back to work from a week off is reading all the code project emails... Daily news was awesome last week lots of very interesting stuff. Humble Programmer

Well.....Personally I avoided MSDN like the plague until the redesign. Now if I want to look at the members of an object I hit up MSDN. FOR EVERYTHING ELSE like learning how to use the object....it is first: search of code project if that doesn't work search Google if that doesn't work ask questions on code project.

There is nothing wrong with VB.NET and I said VB.NET as a language the problem lies in the fact that so many VB6 developers converted to it and don't know what they are doing. Personally I love both C# and VB.NET and hate VB6 with a passion. Humble Programmer

The "config" file I was going to use was under the settings tab. You are talking a little above my head I will research serialization and config files and try to get a better idea of what you mean. Thank you Humble Programmer

I am trying to emulate the way that many sql front end tools save profiles of connection information. For instance the user sees my log on form and has a drop down to select "Testing", "Development", "Production" etc and when they select one of the profiles the rest of the information is populated. It would be easy to do this in a table but I am trying to do so using a configuration file so that the entire solution will be self contained without the need for tables. Any insight into how I might do this would be appreciated. Humble Programmer

yorn What is that you ask...... Yes or No....dumb We also have a set of classes we call the blue classes because they all start with smrf. Bad thing is the little smurfs keep multiplying. Humble Programmer

I got this..!!!!! I used Opera for a while the most under rated browser in the market... If it was more compatible I would use it only. The I started using Firefox because all the things I loved about opera could be added as extensions. I will not use a browser that does not have them...For example I wanted to use chrome but couldn't because of the missing addons. So I use.... Firefox with adblockplus, Speeddial, SecureLogin and SQLLite manager... I can go to all my normal websites and check my emails with about 15 keys pressed on my keyboard and never touching my mouse.

It was really meant as a joke but in my personal experience there is alot more "sugar" in VB.NET that makes things easier to do than in C#. The same things are happening behind the scenes it is just less coding in VB.NET the code in C# makes you write the stuff behind the scenes. Humble Programmer
