• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) IIS hosted SSL service has wrong metadata addresses in WSDL

  Is it me or is this a known issue and/or a bug I have an IIS SSL (https) service deployed and working, but the metadata locations are local. Therefore, there is no way to generate proxy classes if the client is on the other side of the firewall. Eg: <wsdl:import namespace=" http://webservices.posta.si/bindings " location=https://<machineName>/service.svc wsdl=wsdl2 /> Is hand crafting the WSDL and using metadataLocation attribute the only way Is this a known issue A bug   How are you supposed to add a host header for the SSL (port 443) If you are using SSL, it wont' let you set up a host header for port 443 because the port is already used. ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual Studio 2005 Database Project Question

  This may be a silly question but I've got a .NET 2.0 application with several projects/libraries. I'd like to have the benefits of a VS 2005 Data Project (deployment, code snippets, etc.) but I can't figure out how to take an existing C# project and allow it to also be a Database project (there should be the extra "Data" tabe in the project's properties). Any tips Thanks! - James vineet Thank you for assistance... I have resolved the issue.. I think the problem was with maping windows user with database.. Now eveything seems working fine..

• .NET Development Saving changes from DataGridView into database

  I'm facing the following problem : I created a connection to a database table by going through the "Data Source Configuration Wizard" untill I had my tables to be shown in the Data Sources Window. Using the Data Sources Window I selected one of my tables called "Phonebook" to be bound to a DataGridView. Then I dragged the table into my Form and made sure that the dragged DataGridView having the readonly property set to False. Data previously entered into the table are displayed very well when I run the application. My problem is: when I made changes to the DataGridView control and press the Save button it does not save these changes to the database .... does not save changes to existing records and does n ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite Sheets?

  How can i use a sprite sheet instead of using single sprite files Thanks in advance. When I've done this, I tend to use a BMP or equivalent, with each of my sprites on it. I load it into a single Texture2D as usual. However, when it comes to drawing them, you use the overloaded version of the Draw method, which takes both the screen location rectangle and a source rectange (along with colour and the usual others). This second parameter is the location within the single sheet of the individual sprite I want to display. I'm playing with a Pacman graphic at the moment, so I have a bitmap which is 256 x 128 pixels. Each pacman is 32x32, and I've got 4 rows (representing the 4 possible directions) plus 8 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Need help developing a COM Add-in for Word(Office XP)

  Hi all, I created a "Shared Add-in" project in Visual Studio .NET 2005 and tried to develop a simple hello world COM add-in for Word. After created the project, it automatically generated another setup project and this is good. Then I added a reference to the Word Interop Assembly in the Add-in project and confirmed that the DLL file actually references to assembly in windows\assembly folder. Since I just want to make sure that Word can connect to this COM Add-in, I simply added a statement MsgBox("hello world.") to every event that appears in the default Connect class. Then I built both the add-in project and the setup project and right-clicked on the setup project and selected "Install" to install the add ...Show All

• .NET Development How to unload DLL files that are in use.

  Hi, i wonder if its possible to unload a DLL file that i allready added in "References" in C#... and then if its possible to load it again after i unloaded it.. As I said already earlier ... you cannot use Assembly.Load and load from a file otherwise the assembly will be locked latest when you create a class instance from that assembly. You have to load the file into memory first, so that there is no direct connection to the assembly file. And to call a method on a class, you have to create the class instance first: class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { string filename = "ClassLibrary1.dll" ; Assembly library = null ; object libraryInsta ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Exceptions...

  Hello, I'm just running into a bit of trouble with a WF webservice that I've built... in certain situations, I repeatedly get the following string of exceptions: SQLException- New request is not allowed to start because it should come with valid transaction descriptor. this one throws several times, then a PersistenceException saying the same... then SQLException- The ROLLBACK TRANSACTION request has no corresponding BEGIN TRANSACTION. .... and so on. Eventually it asks if DTC is enabled, which I think it is - I've got the DTC shown as running the Services snap in.

• Software Development for Windows Vista mciSendString status question

  I've been playing around with mciSendString("status") and for the life of me I can't get it to work. I am on XP Pro in C# 2.0 open, close, play, resume, and pause work perfect, but status always returns ascii byte 32 (a lot of them) mciSendString("open " + Filetoplay + " alias MyMedia", NULL, 0, 0); this of course works, however: Stat = Strings.Space(255); mciSendString("status MyMedia mode", Stat, 255, 0); just returns spaces in Stat. I've tried different sizes of strings, defining media types, getting other status' such as length, but it always returns spaces is there some precursor to this that I am missing [ DllImport ( "winmm. ...Show All
