  • Visual Studio 2005 is configuring the environment for first time use

    Every now & then I would get the first time launch message appearing when I was starting up VS 2005, which wasted lots of time & I finally got around to googling a solution. It turned out that it was a problem with using roaming profiles ( I switch...

  • How to set SharePoint People Picker default value to current user through javascript

    I found this great POST by the SharePoint Designer team for “Using Javascript to Manipulate a List Form Field”. Unfortunately it didn't work very well for People Picker fields which is exactly what I needed to do today. After some trial...

  • Metallica's Sick of the Studio Tour

    I was very lucky to attend the Metallica "Sick of the Studio Tour" on Sunday 8th July 2007 at Wembley Stadium, I was even luckier to be watching it from the comfort of Microsoft's Executive Box. There were a number of people there ranging...

  • WPF Missing In Action - The Button PerformClick Method

    PerformClick is one of the many casualties of a move from Windows Forms to WPF. Of course, it's probably not something you would need to use often, but just in case you do then there is a way. It's not a very intuitive way and - had it not been...

  • WPF: How To Hide the Minimize and Maximize Buttons

    For some time now, I've been promising myself that one day I will create a list of what I like to think of as "WPF MIA" - those basic elements that I am totally familiar with in WindowsForms, but which somehow seem to have disappeared into...

  • Tables in a Windows Presentation Foundation FlowDocument

    vbCity Leader (and Microsoft MVP) Ged Mead showed how to create a FlowDocument in his article published on devCity.com. I got the challenge recently to display a data inserted in a table in a flowdocument. So I embarked on my quest. I knew that what I...

  • Automatically resize a Windows Presentation Foundation Form.

    Once again it seems that a post from vbCity is to be fodder for a post here. Although not part of the original query by vbcity member quicksun, the question of getting a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) Form to be resized as the expander control...

  • Setting background colours with Windows Presentation Foundation

    I don't think I will ever get over just how much easier it is to do some things in a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) application than it is in a Windows application. I was messing around with changing the background colour of a button to see...

  • Get list of site users in InfoPath form

    Having got past the last hurdle I then had a need for getting a list of all the site users into a Drop Down list which has spawned this second article

  • View State Analyzers

    I have recently been trimming down View State from some pages in an ASP.NET application and was looking around for tools that could help me decide where the majority of the View State was coming from. I have found some Gems and figured I would list them...

  • Another Gotcha! - Select Case Using a Range of Integers

    I never cease to be amazed at how many ways you can fool yourself into thinking that your code will do one thing, but in fact it does something completely different. Sometimes the subtlety of the error is so fine that you can spend ages trying to work...

  • TabControl with WPF and Visual Basic.NET 2008

    A while back I posted up about showing more interesting content on that tab of a tab control using Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). In the example that I posted, I created the custom look of the tab control just using XAML and I thought that it...

  • TabControl with WPF and Visual Basic.NET 2008 revisited

    When I last visited the TabControl project, I changed it so that the look of the Tab content was done via VB. One thing that has been niggling at me since was how the first Tab content was done. The content on the Tab was still entered on the XAML code...

  • WPF FlowDocuments and Using WPF Controls in Windows Forms

    I get a reassuringly high number of hits on my WPF blog items, so I guess they're proving useful to a few people out there. So it just occurred to me that I should maybe include a link here in my blog to a couple of WPF articles that I've written...

  • Copy Source As HTML

    I am not sure if this is old hat or not, but I regularly use the Copy Source As HTML addin in Visual Studio 2005 to post nicely formatted code samples. However, I have now got a new laptop loaded with Vista and VS 2008 and to my horror, my old install...
