  Hi, I had a error while installing vs 2005 beta 2, Its a DVD ,That error is 1310 and error writing a file to folder(ms.vs.QualityTools.Resource.dll) pls help me, be sure to disable your Anti Virus software whilst installing VS. take a look at this, the same should apply to your problem: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330733/ Now if you are trying to install it on a VPC system it will fail. But if you are trying to install it on your main computer, not a VM system, then the other thing you can do is to create an image of the entire DVD and run the installer from your hard disk, mounting the image onto a Virtual CD, using something like MS VCD tool or some other 3rd party Virtual CD software.

• lwsimpson Error when trying to generate model

  I get the following error when trying to generate a model (csdl) file. ERROR: Unable to generate model due to the following exception: The store metadata has not been generated yet, please call GenerateStoreMetadata() first. Any suggestions Thanks, Sandy Just out of curiousity... - are you using the VPC or did you get the install files -are you generating from a stock db (like Northwind) or one of your own. - if you are using the installer, are you installing on a clean O/S or on a computer with other stuff on it Since there are two of you we can play "one of these things is not like the other". I am using the VPC and have thus far only tried using Northwind. I haven't had the problem. ...Show All

• eriklarsson VPN vs. WCF - Need advice

  I have a scenario for an upcoming project where I'd need some advice from you. Here is the prerequsites: 1 - A server (SQL and probably IIS) will be hosted on some kind of serverhotel. This SQL server will hold all application data. 2 - The application accessing the SQL server will be a WinForms (c#) application. 3 - The application will be used by 5-15 different customers. Each customer will have there own instance of a database on the SQL-server. The reason for why the SQL-server isn't located at the customers site is that the customers do not want the overhead of administrating it. 4 - The customers will have at least a 2Mbps connection to the internet. So, I have been thinking of two different solutions: 1 - Use WCF so that the W ...Show All

• ahmedilyas Add Custom Tool automatically and see more than 1 file under the model file

  The T4 engine that ships with the DSL tools gives you a flexible way to generate text output based on the contents of a model by running a custom tool against a template.   However, in a production environment, you may not want a user of your designer to have access to the template. You might prefer the user experience to be more like that provided by the Microsoft dataset generator, where the custom tool runs directly against the model file, rather than against a template.   This is very easy to do using the May release of the DSL tools.   1) Create and test your template as normal, but then put in a placeholder in the directive where the name of the model would usually go e.g. “%MODELFILENAME%”.   2) ...Show All

• compjb WCF call fails sometime in CAB application

  We are currently developing a software using both CAB (Composite Application Block) and WCF. The client side GUI is written based on CAB. However, it is found that if WCF callback is used, sometime WCF client side call will raise "TimeoutException" exception. I have checked the WCF log file and found that before the exception was raised, the message was already received by the client side; but for some reason, the message was not processed until timeout. If I not to use CAB, it seems everything works fine. I think a dead lock could be generated by ObjectBuilder, which is the main part of all the application blocks. I have wrote a small test program which has the exactly same problem. I cannot locate the problem precisely ...Show All
