• AlexBB Window AllowsTransparency="True" brings up error for Design view in VS2005

  Just been coding with WPF, and I always get this error when trying to look at the Design view when I have AllowsTransparency="True" for the window. I get the Whoops! screen, and more specifically I get an error in the Error List. Error: Property 'AllowsTransparency' was not found or is not serializable for type 'Window' To allow viewing in Design View, I have to get rid of the AllowsTransparency attribute. However, I can compile it and it runs fine with the AllowsTransparency property. And It also renders fine in Expression Blend's Design view. I know this is beta software we're looking at... but is it fixable BTW, Happy New Year from Brisbane, Queensland, Australia :-) Chris ...Show All

• tass_flint ExceptionHandling - best practices

  Hi, I was wondering if there are already any exception handling best practices or patterns for WCF Assuming, you are developing a real world enterprise application, do you have any patterns for handling all the exceptions like they occur on broken connections, etc. Thanks, Tom Thanks for your replies. However, I was looking more for advice for situations like: With NetTcpBinding the client makes a call to the server but the server closed the port or the connection broke. Now, do I need to wrap every call in a try/catch block and give them to an exception handler or can I somewhere in WCF itself specify that it should try to reestablish the connection on a broken connection exception. So, can I tell WCF ...Show All

• ItsMe&amp;#33;&amp;#33;&amp;#33; Demo III: Offline Application – WebService

  Hello all, The N-Tier demo has finally arrived. This demo shows you how to take the server side code, basically the ServerSyncProvider along with all SyncAdapters that we build in the last demo, and expose it as a web service. On the client side, you generate a web service proxy and build a thin wrapper around it to be able to plug it into the sync agent. These steps and more are described in the accompanying readme.txt file. For more details and to download the project please visit my blog at: http://blogs.msdn.com/synchronizer/ Download sample: http://blogs.msdn.com/synchronizer/attachment/1554160.ashx Yes!

• Christie Myburgh C# function call crash

  There is a C# code which worked reasonably well when it was compiled with .NET 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003. Now we have switched to .NET 2.0 and VS 2005 and some machines started displaying strange behavior. It is demonstrated in the code below: Something like GPF happens in the call to Foo.Bar(). The execution does not go inside the function, it looks like .NET runtime which does the call, crashes. No exception is caught in try/catch below. If I copy/paste Bar() into class Oops and call this new function, it works fine. If I put another static function into Foo, which returns some simpler type, such as string, and call it instead of Bar(), it also works fine. Looks like the problem is calling a function in another class which returns Micro ...Show All

• Paul Gerald Problem with NTLM on IIS

  Hi everyone! I began to investigate different security option of the WCF and found this problem: WCF is hosting on IIS. So I have no problems while there was Anonymous access. Then I restrict access only with integrated Windows security and since this i wasn't able to make my service work. So first time it responded with such error: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Negotiate,NTLM'. The problem seems to be clear: In Service and Client config's i set clientcredentialtype to Windows, then IIS responded generally the same error: The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Negotiate'.

• chris fitzmartin Cannot start debugging because the debug target ... is missing

  Using VS 2005 Pro / Visual Basic. "Build" --> an .exe appears in /bin. (Build successful; no errors or warnings.) Right after that, F5 --> an error message "Visual Studio cannot start debugging because the debug target ... is missing...". Checking: an .exe misteriously disappeared(!) from /bin. Immediately after that F5 -> application runs, an .exe appears in /bin. (Occasionally, would take several more F5's.) Anybody has an idea what is happening Y.Fradkin One of the lines of code in your application is keeping your application from compiling either in debug or release. check the error list for more info.
