• RabinLin Project References

  I am having a problem that is quite annoying. I have a web project setup that is under source control via source safe. I have a code library that contains all business/data logic. Now, everytime I add a reference to the new code library DLL's, it removes the bindings from source safe, so when I perform a Check In, the new DLL's never check in. The way I get around this is deleting the DLL's from the web project's bin, and manually dragging and dropping the DLL's into the web projects bin folder. It then Adds them to source safe. Any way around this If you add by mistake the project outputs to source control, building the solution will fail because the compiler will not be able to write the dlls/pdb/xml output files that will ...Show All

• RafaBotero How to desing data manipulation services?

  My question is not a new one. This problem appeared long ago about web services. Assume, that I have a WCF service to manipulate some data. I have the data layer as well, and a business logic layer with huge number of business objects in separated assembly. The business objects know some logic, so they have lot of methods impelmented about validation, manipulation and so on. I want to share these business objects with the clients allowing them to validate user input. I use the WCF service as a facade layer therefore the interface methods has the shared business objects as parameters or return values. I can use the business objects both at server and client side by adding a reference. When I want the client proxy to be generated the svcuti ...Show All

• Guy Burstein ASP.NET Debugging with VS2005 and IE7

  Hi All I just want to join up with my fellow developers on the massive issue on ASP.NET debugging on IE7. Since I switched to Vista early september I mainly developed WindowsForms apps with Visual Studio 2005 and everything seems to work OK. Now I'm primary focused on ASP.NET and had the horrorfying experience: ASP.NET debugging doesn't work with IE7 and Vista !! I'm using Vista RC2 (build 5744) and haven't switched to the RTM yet. I thing this is a huge issue: Vista and IE7 is released at this time, IE7 is part of critical updates on at least Windows Server 2003 R2. The big Q is: When can we expect MS to deliver and update to this issue Note: The error exists even in a small 1 page + 1 button website. Best regards, ...Show All

• Donald Burr My view on views, Repositories, Multi-user acces etc.

  Hi all, Sorry for the long message, this probably is better suited for a blog, but I don't have one (yet). In various threads issues have been mentioned that deal with handling large models. For example in In Multi-User Capability there is a question on multi-user capabilities, and in Collaborating on models a solution is proposed. In How to make Multiple Views a request for supporting multiple views has been done. In Question on roadmap to DSL features a repository feature is requested. We have been working with the DSL toolkit since November 2005. The first DSL's are now ready for production, several others are under development. Based on our experience with developing these DSL's, I would like to give some feedback on th ...Show All

• Thrix BAML->XAML

  Hi all! I know you don't like people using BAML, but I've got a bit of a problem: I have a program that I've written, and have lost the source code for. Luckily, I have the compiled executable. So, I have been able to extract the BAML file, but I'd really like it in XAML for easy editing. I know about loading BAML with Application.LoadCompenent, but that doesn't help when you need to 'decompile' BAML in to XAML. I've been told this was possible in earlier versions of WPF, but has been removed ever since Parser.LoadBaml was removed. Is there any way to retrieve the XAML source Karl Thanks! Now my problem is Uris. I'm having great trouble getting relative Uris to all the loose baml files I have ...Show All

• Vivienne.Zhou Thumbs up for type inference

  I'm finding var works a treat— outside of just LINQ. It's particularly good when you want to pass an object from one place to another "opaquely" without caring about its type. An example is ICryptoTransform or IAsyncResult. You still get type safety, but with less clutter. Joe I'm glad that you find this feature useful. While most of the C# 3.0 features are used in Linq, they all stand on their own as well. ...Show All
