• Mikko Nylén Installation security issue

  Hi Folks,During the installation of LINQ Preview (May 2006), I got a security alert from Norton AntiVirus, complaining that MsiExec.exe wants to run RegWrite script. When I confirm to run the script once, it starts the web browser multiple times and is redirected to some commercial web sites. Is this issue known or has somebody seen this before I did the test also on my home computer and got the same result.Apart from this, I'm enjoying LINQ and the really cool and excellent work!

• wadnerk Unwrapped messages

  Hi I've developed a WCF-WebService. Now I've the problem, that when I generate the client-code, it always unwraps my Request/Response-Messages. I tried it both with svcutil.exe and wsdl.exe, and both made it the same way - so I think something is wrong with my service-definitions. Sample: Server: [MessageContract] public class Request { [MessageBodyMember] public string Test; } [OperationContract] public void Test(Request req); For this I got the following result on the client: public void Test( string test); Any Idea Thanks Dani Yes I saw that... but I don't like that behavior at all :-) I mean, for the in-values I can agree, but for the return-values, it's just bad. When I ha ...Show All

• Tall Dude XpathMessageFilter, how to form the XPath?

  Hi all, If I have a Message that is sent with this contract using Test1: [ServiceContract] public interface ISendContract { [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)] void Test1(int a); [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true)] void Test2(int a); } and that is read with this contract: [ServiceContract] public interface IReadContract { [OperationContract(IsOneWay = true,Action="*")] void AllMessages(Message m); } I want to examine m in the AllMessages service callback to see if it matches some XPath expression (in this case, I want to see if the message is Test1, and not Test2, but ultimately I want to be able to do more sophisticated matching). I'm currently doing this: XPathMessageFilterTable<bool> filterTable ...Show All

• Alpehans Multiple ServiceContracts implementation problem

  Dear All, I’m very new to WCF, so after couple of days of reading and coding I tried to write my second service. I want to deveplope services with a couple of contracts. In all samples, that I've seen, all contracts implemented in the single class. Then this class used in the one ServiceHost instance. But if I going to handle a thousand differrent contracts Should I do it in a singe service-behavior class It looks bad. Show me right way, please. Also, can I instance more than one ServiceHost object in a service Thousands of contracts This sounds quite excessive. It must be that you also have many logical services ...Show All

• SurreDeth How to override default style for custom control?

  Hi all, I've got custom control deriver from HeaderedItemsControl and I'd like to get rid of the dashed rectangle which is being drawn around focused child items. Child items are also custom controls, derived from HeaderedContentControl. The appearance of the child items is controlled by different templates which are being assigned to them in code. I've tried to set OverridesDefaultStyle to my custom HeaderedItemsControl, to my custom HeaderedContentControl child controls and even tried to set it everywhere using VisualTreeHelper class with no success. The dashed rectangle is being drawn no matter what I try. Using Snoop I could not find what Visual is drawing this rectangle - it seems not to exist in the Visual tree. How does this dashed ...Show All

• suamikim Support for templates in WPF Deisgner?

  We're building a large WPF application. In order to provide some consistency of UI, we're using a lot of <DataTemplate>s and <ControlTemplate>s, in application resource files. When I design a <Window> or a <Page>, I have to specify the appropriate template for every child control. If I attempt to use the designer on such a xaml file, it immediately starts adding properties to the actual controls themselves (Width="xxx", etc.). Is there a way to turn this behavior OFF Also, is there a way to work with the templates in the designer directly (right now, I have to edit the template xaml code manually - it would sure be a lot easier if I could use the designer).

• Tyrael Tong PrinterSettings.Copies still ignored?

  I read in some old messages that PrinterSettings.Copies being ignored is a known bug. I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix or a work-around. What I want to achieve is print three copies of a report in the background. My code is based on the example which shows how to print local reports from the commandline and works alright, expect for the above. I guess playing with the streams used for the EMF data could be a solution, but that would mean that the report that is sent to the printer is unnecessary big. I want the printer to make the copies, not the workstation. Thank you for your advice. ...Show All

• Ray C Missing LINQ Method

  Is there a LINQ method to force the enumeration of a collection This works, but it feels a bit grubby: .Any (x => false); It's required after running a projection that has a desired side effect, e.g. appending into a StringBuilder or invoking a method. Joe Calling ToArray or ToList copies the data into an ArrayList-style temporary buffer which in this case is unnecessary. Calling First won't work, because it enumerates only the first element of the list. The aggregation methods require an expression on which to aggregate. Any (x => false) does the trick, although there's the danger of the compiler one day optimizing it away. I was hoping for an Enumerate() method to run something like this: StringBuilder sb = new String ...Show All
