Maybe he was trying to prevent creating a temporary copy of Writer?

And you're all wrong. The coolest product MS has made is in fact Flight Simulator X, especially when combined with the right add-ons.

Then apply a style/template.  Problem solved.

I don't share your view and I'll explain why.

For me the Apple platform has no appeal. It's market is too small and it has too many restrictions. So what we have is a few key players writing software for it and a whole lot of blank space wich nobody can fill.

Enter Microsoft. Anyone can develop anything on Windows. There are plenty of websites with documentation, plenty of developers willing to share their experiences, some guidance for Microsoft and plenty of 3rd party tools to help you along the way. The best thing is; Microsoft is open for feedback. So when they start out to build something new, they release CTP's and betas. When they release a 1.0 into the community, they will gather the expierences from the field and point out a roadmap for 2.0.

You call it mediocre stuff. I call it developing with partners. Apple just dumps their software and runs.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

System.Windows.Application.Current is nothing

Bearing in mind that the application is winforms based, what is the winforms equivalent to System.Windows.Application.Current.Dispatcher?

namespace WPFHost
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Thread thrd = new Thread(new ThreadStart(
                delegate() {
                    this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(CreateWindow));
                }));
            thrd.Start();
        }

        public void CreateWindow()
        {
            System.Windows.Window wnd = new System.Windows.Window();
            wnd.ShowDialog();
        }
    }
}

If you want to bind to it, either set the datacontext in code like you are doing, OR you have to declare the array in XAML as a resource.  Then use {Binding Source={StaticResource integers}} to bind to the resource.

Actually, I JUST found the projects. They are under the Windows projects, not Web (Visual C# > Windows, or Visual Basic if you prefer). All the WPF projects are in there.

I thought I had heard/seen something about how Mac handles right mouse clicks in these situations. Can't remember what now though.

Hi everybody.

I'm in the market for a new laptop. I've always heard lots of good things from my designer friends and other fake turtle-neck wearing mac users about the Vista experience on their MacBooks. Many said its fantastic.

But I'd like to get some more data on this so I'd like to see what your experience has been with that setup and hear the good as well as the bad about how well it has worked for you.

Thanks.

no support for the 32bit version? nightski'd better add 2gb of ram to his macbook if he wants it to survive the 64bit upgrade.

[xbit-labs] MicroStar International (MSI), one of the world’s largest makers of computer mainboards and other components, plans to start transition to Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) in February of 2008. It is unclear how long the transition takes, but once it kicks off, there will hardly be a way back to Basic Input Output System (BIOS) used today.

The first mainboard from MSI for the channel market to use EFI will be P35 Neo3, which is powered by Intel P35 core-logic and supports Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core 2 Quad, Intel Core 2 Extreme as well as various other LGA775 central processing units (CPUs). According to a news-story by HKEPC web-site, MSI P35 Neo 3’s EFI will support several languages and more precise system settings for tweaking. In order to further popularize EFI, MSI reportedly even embedded three simplistic games into EFI to allow users to play them while the operating system is loaded by the PC.

since the MB has been announced for february we can be pretty sure that Vista SP1 will be released soon.

now we just need PS/2, serial/parallel ports, analog audio jacks, VGA/DVI ports, IDE (including floppy), PCI slots, game ports and the stupid 24pin PSU connectors to disappear. I'm sick of having half the space of motherboard front panels being wasted by ports nobody uses anymore.
