I've been trying to port some Windows Phone 7 code between Silverlight to XNA which relies on IsolatedStorageSettings but I can't get Visual Studio to resolve it. When I have a look at what Intellisense is resolving under System.IO.IsolatedStorage & it lists IsolatedStorageFile, IsolatedStorageException & IsolatedStorageStream.
The documentation says that the supported version is for Silverlight but I don't understand why I am seeing the difference because of the project types.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev10.query?appId=Dev10IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k(SYSTEM.IO.ISOLATEDSTORAGE.ISOLATEDSTORAGESETTINGS);k(ISOLATEDSTORAGESETTINGS);k(TargetFrameworkMoniker-%22SILVERLIGHT,VERSION%3dV4.0%22);k(DevLang-CSHARP)&rd=true
Thanks
The following work for me in an XNA project with no extra project references:
using (var store = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForApplication())
{
store.CreateFile("folder/file.ext");
}
After adding a reference to System.Windows.dll I can then do:
var settings = IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings;
settings.Add("something", "myValue");
settings.Save();
If you can't get the above working, can you post an example of what you're trying.

I need to develop a printer driver which can:-
Read the printed file (knowing the data inside the file)
Write extra information to the end of printed file. (eg. bar-code or QR code)
I plan to use V4 printer driver as template for me to start my development. I already tried to built this V4 printer driver in Visual Studio.
V4 printer driver solution explorer
Understanding the architecture of V4 printer driver may need lot of times. Besides that, I am still new in driver development, so it is hard for me to understand the document provided by Microsoft.
Can anyone suggest where should I start to code and recommend me any useful method/function or library. It will be useful if anyone can recommend some useful related reading material and what basic knowledge should I know.
See the Microsoft sample code here.
Create a "Render Filter" project (C++ project) in your "V4 Printer Driver" solution and add the sample code in "StartOperation_throws" method of newly created Render Filter.
Then use following sample code to add a custom content to your file:
XPS_COLOR testColor;
testColor.value.sRGB.alpha=0xFF;
testColor.value.sRGB.red=0xFF;
testColor.value.sRGB.green=0xFF;
testColor.value.sRGB.blue=0xFF;
testColor.colorType = XPS_COLOR_TYPE_SRGB;
FLOAT Font_Size = 14;
XPS_POINT OrgPoint = {123,123};
LPCWSTR TestStr = _T("Sample Text");
LPCWSTR Name_fnt = _T("SampleFontFile.TTF");
at the end, call "AddCustomTextToXpsDoc" using above parameters to add your text in
printable xps file.

It appears the Xamarin API documentation is missing for this enum.
Here are a few of the values but not all:
Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData is $HOME/.config, which is /data/data/#PACKAGE_NAME#/files/.config.
Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData is $HOME/.local/share, which is /data/data/#PACKAGE_NAME#/files/.local/share.
Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal is $HOME, which is /data/data/#PACKAGE_NAME#/files.

I start Xamarin Studio 4.0.3 and create a new solution for MonoDroid application. I am targetting version 2.3 or higher. I include Sqlite.cs from the sqlite-net (latest from site) project. I make sure I have a reference to Mono.Data.SQLite in the project. Then in the OnCreate of the default MainActivity I try to use the code shown in the readme to make a database connection:
string path = Android.OS.Environment.DataDirectory.ToString();
string dbname = path + "/" + "test.db3";
var db = new SQLiteConnection(dbname, SQLiteOpenFlags.Create|SQLiteOpenFlags.ReadWrite ,true);
However it always fails with an exception saying it can't open the database. If I follow Greg Shackles example and use SqliteDbHelper method it works, but I would like to understand what I am doing wrong that sqlite-net connection method is not working. I have a feeling I am missing something simple. I did also try just passing in a filename to SQLiteConnection() as well but when it failed I added the OpenFlags to see if that was the issue.
I just found out that apparently you're supposed to use the personal folder, instead of the databases folder:
string folder = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
var db = new SQLiteConnection(Path.Combine(folder, "mydb.db"));
I'm trying to write some Office automation code and I cannot get IntelliSense help for the PIA Office types. The strange thing is that it works fine in C# and also in the Tutorial.vs2010 F# Solution with some of the same code.
I'm using VS10 and PIA for Office 14.
VS
Any ideas?
I forgot to include a reference to Office.dll. That appeared to fix the issue.
For anyone finding this later, but can't figure out where office.dll is, like I did. I faced the same Issue with F# 4.0, Office 2013, and VS Community 2015 Update 2.0
I typed this in the beginning of the file to get Intellisense working, no need to search for office.dll in your machine:
#r "office, Version = 15.0.0.0"
This is the same text it gives you with <Note>, but without the Culture=neutral and PublicKey=w/e. Seems to work flawlessly.
For context, this is how my file starts:
#r "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel"
#r "office, Version = 15.0.0.0"
open System
open System.IO
open System.Reflection
open Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel
let app = ApplicationClass(Visible = true)
let sheet = app.Workbooks
.Add()
.Worksheets.[1] :?> _Worksheet
I want to set the maximum work item attachment size. From old blogs I have found that it is possible by calling SetMaxAttachmentSize, but the blogs are for older versions of TFS. I have found the new webservice path for TFS 2010.
http://localhost:8080/tfs/_tfs_resources/WorkItemTracking/v1.0/ConfigurationSettingsService.asmx/SetMaxAttachmentSize
Unfortunately when I call it like that I receive this error: This request can only be made against a project collection. The (.asmx) file should be located in the project directory (usually _tfs_resources under the application root).
I don't know how to format the call via a browser to target a specific project collection. Any thoughts?
Apparently SetMaxAttachmentSize web service was not leveraged on TFS 2010 therefore you need to do this programmatically, try running the following code:
TeamFoundationServer tfs = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(#"http://yourtfsserver:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection");
ITeamFoundationRegistry rw = tfs.GetService<ITeamFoundationRegistry>();
RegistryEntryCollection rc = rw.ReadEntries(#"/Service/WorkItemTracking/Settings/MaxAttachmentSize");
RegistryEntry re = new RegistryEntry(#"/Service/WorkItemTracking/Settings/MaxAttachmentSize", "20971520"); //20MB
if (rc.Count != 0)
{
re = rc.First();
re.Value = "20971520";
}
rw.WriteEntries(new List<RegistryEntry>() { re });
I hope it works for you
Regards,
Randall Rosales
I have found that this works. It is easier than writing code.
Go to this url replacing <Collection> with your project collection: http://localhost:8080/tfs/<Collection>/WorkItemTracking/v1.0/ConfigurationSettingsService.asmx
Choose SetMaxAttachmentSize
You can test to make sure you set it correctly by going to the same url above and then selecting GetMaxAttachmentSize.
