• Batisse Incorrect URLs returning with ?disco

  I need some help with this one. I have created a wcf service that works great locally. Because this service will be used by 3rd parties as well, I'm just doing basic http binding. I moved the service out to one of our servers that can be seen externally and tried creating a normal web service reference in a vb.net console app to test it (same app I used to test locally which worked). Anyway, when adding the reference I can navigate to my svc fine but I get invalid document type errors. I know what is causing the error but I don't know how to fix it. The server has several web sites defined, each of which has multiple applications/virtual folders. We had to create another website to host .net 2.0 applications (I'll call it Dev2...dev2.myser ...Show All

• l_steve_l Parameter help needed

  Hi I am generating a report using a stored procedure. The stored procedure requires a date parameter. When the report is generated reporting services displays the datetime picker, which is fine except for the fact that I only want the user to go back until a certain date. Is there anyway to set the date range in a stored procedures parameter in reporting services Owt The built-in parameters area does not currently have any extensibility for custom date ranges or other business logic. This is something we are looking at for the future however. You can implement this functionality on your own however. You can turn off the built-in parameters area entirely (ReportViewer.ShowParameterPrompts) or hi ...Show All

• Raj S Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)

  Hi, I've been working with VIsual Studio 2005 for a good few months now, and i've been working on macro's in Outlook to perform a task. I've now come to try it out more professionally with the VSTO SE and now, whenever i attempt to open a 'New Project' Outlook Add-in, and everytime as it attempts to load, i get the following error with no other information: Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)) I read another post of someone with the same error, but not in the same situation - and the solution was to re-install the 'Microsoft Office 2003 Web Components' but i had no such luck with this re-installation, Thanks a lot!

• sedso Meta data exchange with indigo webservice

  Hi, How can i exchange the metadata with the indigo service. Does WCF provide any particular facility for that Zille, WSDL does not provide any direct support for that, though I presume you could hack it in some way to do so (though it might cause interoperability problems). That said, I don't see the kind of data as belonging to the service contract metadata (which is really what the WSDL contains), but rather as a separate information service your endpoint exposess. In other words, if you have a service that performs your restaurant functions, you might have a second service (and service contract) that exposes your custom metadata about the restaurant. Hello. I'm not sure that I've understood ...Show All

• swtjen01 minidump: getting correct call stack with a different dll version and pdb file

  Hi All, Consider the following scenario: I have an application that has a dll say ABC.DLL (version 1). This DLL version is already delivered to customers. A crash on the customer site does generate the minidump so that they can send it across to me. Unfortunately, I did not generate debug info in pdb when compiling the Release version to the customers. So, even though I have the pdb file and the minidump file, since I do not have the debug info. the minidump is useless. Now, I want to integrate debug info. (for use in minidump) for my application. I changed the project settings appropriately (to generate debug info in pdb) and built again. Tested locally, everything works fine. Lets say my current DLL version is 2 (since I built t ...Show All

• Eric van Feggelen How to maintain data consistency?

  Our server application performs transactional table updates to maintain data consistency. Synchronization framework, however, enumerates inserts, updates and deletes in separate queries, so it is possible for server application to perform several updates inbetween, which leads to inconsistent data on the client (to simulate this you can insert a delay into SyncProgress event handler). Is there a way to command framework to lock tables during synchronization Good News! SQL Server 2005 SP2, shipped yesterday, has a simple fix for the consistency issue. Check out all the details here . Thanks! Just out of curiosity have you tried this when snapshot isolation is enabled I would expect ...Show All

• Abijiths StartupUri and custom control libraries

  Hi, I'm trying to launch my WPF app with a page that is defined in a custom control library. How do I format the StartupUri to identify the assembly that the start page is in I've tried variations of StartupUri="pack://application:,,, assembly_name;path_to_page ", all without success. How is this done Thanks! - Imad Thanks for the reply. I didn't find the answer I was looking for in the article you mentioned. However, I went back to this article: http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms743619(VS.80).aspx I realized the correct syntax is: StartupUri="pack://application:,,, assembly_name; component/ path_to_page " So the key here is to include "component/" ...Show All

• Jerry Frame Streaming audio/video

  I want to create a server that can stream a video to a client but i have no idea where to start. Should i stream the entire file or encode it and then stream it and how can i do that with WCF When you generate the client proxy for a streamed binding, the client still says "buffered". So, although you really are streaming from the service, the client is buffering it. Check your client binding: transferMode = " Streamed " Michele Leroux Bustamante wrote: Try enabling MTOM encoding.

• jepptje Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugging

  I am very pleased to know that there is a mechanism in the development environment that allowing 32bits host (workstation) to build and troubleshoot 64 bits applications (remotely) using Visual Studio 2005 Remote Debugging methodology. That is going to take care of our transition. My question is, if an application is to be run on an I64 based Intel machine(remote-which is also our server), but the development machine (host/workstation) is going to be a x64 AMD based machine, in this scenario, do I need to worry about using remote debugging methodology in my development process, or are there other things I need to be prepared so that my x64 applications could be transferred, scheduled and executed in an I64 machine Thank you!

• JamesPMiller Can I edit localy and upload changed version when doing check in

  I don't know if SourceSafe can do this, but how can I create a SourceSafe project that targets a project (web or win forms) stored on a server, so when the developer will be working on this project, he will get the latest version (download files to his computer), check out some files to block update on the server files that he is making changes, compile and run locally, and after testing he will check in and automatically upload files back to the server. Can SourceSafe or any source control software do this If no, what is the best way to work on a team environment where a project is stored on a server and everybody needs to have the working builds and debug from its own machine without compiling code that is still in development by othe ...Show All

• Abhishek_SE 3D cube from code

  I'm having problems creating 3D cube from code so that cube 'faces' display material right way around. I could create a cube by making 6 planes in ZAM3D and using transforms to arrange them as a cube. this is not really nice though... check the sample code below. There's a lot of samples in the Windows SDK samples but when I use VisualBrush as a material on the cube faces, material is mirrored, wrong way around, etc, etc.. If anybody has time, please let me know how to do it or give example code. thanks sample: <!-- cube side geometry --> < MeshGeometry3D x:Key = " SideGeometry " Positions = " -1,1,0 -1,-1,0 1,-1,0 1,1,0 " TriangleIndices = " 0 1 2 0 2 3 " TextureCoordi ...Show All

• renyx Getting list of all dependency/attached properties of an Object

  In Visual Studio, in the XAML view when we add a element tag say <Rectangle...> and hit the spacebar, we get a list of all the attached properties and dependency properties of the object. (For e.g. Canvas.Left). How can this be achieved through procedural code I tried using Reflection (on a Rectangle object in above case) but it did not help.
