• RasmusChristensen DLINQ & Remoting; LINQ over Active Directory

  1. Does DLINQ supports remoting What will happen if I'll pass DLINQ entity out of application domain via remoting 2. I'm interested in using of LINQ to perform queries over active directory database. Any suggestion 1. Does DLINQ supports remoting What will happen if I'll pass DLINQ entity out of application domain via remoting Because LINQ to SQL entities support deferred loading each is indirectly linked to its ADO connection object. So general .Net remoting would necessarily fail. Remoting via XML serialization is supported, however. 2. I'm interested in using of LINQ to perform queries over active directory database.

  Hi, I've got the following issue: My application is intended to show any table from the database. It means that the structure of the table is only known in run-time.

• stevejebson Local Report - Adding Datasources Programmatically

  Using the LocalReport object you can add a datasource: LocalReport.DataSources.Add("myDataTable") I'd like to add DataSources to my report this way at runtime.  This is so my business objects can run out the the database, grab data, scrub it, and then pass the dataset to the Local Report. I can see how to add the datasource, what I don't understand is how to reference the datasource in my report.  Take a textbox, the value property is usually set this way: =Fields!myDataField I don't know how to bind data this way out of dynamically added datasources (datatables).  I tried: =Datasources(0)!Fields!myDataField That doesn't work - I thought maybe datasources was an indexed collection but apparently not ...Show All

• JayaC DomainRelationShip Domain Properties

  Hello, i've been designing a Domain Model and designer based on the minimal language project template. All is going well, i've implemented a construction that keeps source in sync with a parent diagram. It's really cool (i am really proud of it ) and matches the way the default Form and Control designer work. At the moment i am experiencing a bit of a setback because i need to assign a value to a link/connection. For example: I've got two domain classes C1 and C2 that are represented by shape S1 and S2. Assigning properties and interaction between the shapes, classes and templates is no problem. However, there is also a reference domain relationship that defines that the classes can reference to 0..n more classes. This r ...Show All

  I need to add a system boundary shape to Use Case Sample in DSL v1.0. Can I do it whith a Image Shape . Any idea about it . Thank you very much! I think that I do it. I take a look at the components example, but the problem is a bit diferent, because at the components example ,component nest inside other components, I said that the same kind, that it’s more easy to do.

• we7313 Need advise on how to sign request's soap body using WCF

  Hello. Please skip to the questions at the bottom of this post if you don't think you'll need all this introductory info. I need to write a client using WCF that will consume a non-.NET web service that uses SOAP 1.1 and WS-Security 1.0 over SSL. The only requirement is that the request's soap body is signed. The reply, on the other hand, is not signed. It doesn't have any soap headers, in fact. So, I went and created the proxy class using svcutil. The binding used in the generated config was basicHttpBinding and the security mode was Transport (because it was an https url). The effect was that it would send the soap request over https without a digital signature. I tried making all sorts of changes to hopefully make it sign the ...Show All
