Visual Studio Team System Web analytics tool interfering with webtest execution
Our product currently uses Instadia as a web analytics tool. When I run webtests, the call to Instadia is invoked just after the login. Unfortunately, the webtest does not recognize the call, resulting in the test failing. I don’t see anywhere in the test code where I can instruct the test to ignore the call. The use of the Fiddler tool doesn’t give me anything either. I’ve tried to configure a proxy server per the response recommendation to no avail. Has anyone else seen this interaction between webtests and a web tracking tool Here’s the call: http://se1.instadia.net/cgi-bin/gather 0d012r5&Trucks+Dealer+Portal+%3a+TDP+Dual+US+English+%3a+VTC&http://xnet.volvo.com/tdp/dual-us/en-du/home.htm&http://xnet. ...Show All
Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Generating client proxy for msmq service
I am struggling with svcutil (or "Add Service Reference") usage on a msmq service. I see examples with two endpoints, one for net.msmq and one for mex. When I try this, then hit the service.svc using a browser, I get an error of: "The protocol 'net.msmq' is not supported". What is the best way to expose the metadata on an MSMQ service so that I can generate the code that I need for the client Is that the error you get when you run "svcutil http://localhost:8000/mex" Can you show the complete svcutil output What happens when you hit http://localhost:8000/ in a browser Can you see the help page Does the link to wsdl there work and show you the metadata (Long sho ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Interop problem: WCF service & Java client
Hello, I tried to call a very simple WCF web service from a Java client. But the partners don't understand each other, the service receives null instead of the value the Java client sent, and the Java client is not able to deserialize the web service' response. The web service is quite simple, here its interface: namespace Common { [ServiceContract()] public interface IHello { [OperationContract] string SayHello(string t1); } } The sayHello method is implemented as return "Hello "+t1; The service binding looks the following: <system.serviceModel> <services> <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="Service"> <endpoint address="" ...Show All

SQL Server Encryption & Decryption
Database Security, we are going to use AES 256 Symmetric Encryption. We will be using RSA for Asymmetric Key Encryption, 1024 Bits. We got the code working for the seond case but for the first, WHEN: CREATE SYMMETRIC KEY sym_Key WITH ALGORITHM = AES_256 ENCRYPTION BY ASYMMETRIC KEY asym_Key GO THEN: -- Msg 15314, Level 16, State 1, Line 1 -- Either no algorithm has been specified or the bitlength and the algorithm specified for the key are not available in this installation of Windows. What can be the way out to be able to create the AES 256 Symmetric key. AES is currently supported by SQL Server 2005 only on Windows 2003. If you are using Windows 2000 or Windows XP, you do not have acc ...Show All

SQL Server SQL 2000 multi-statement table valued function execution plan
If a multi-statement table valued function contains conditional logic based on the input parameters which will ultimately execute a different SQL statement to do the bulk of the work, does this mess up the execution plans .. In other words, will it create an execution plan based upon the input passed in on the first execution only or will it always have optimum execution regardless of what is passed in If it creates an execution plan based on the parameter set passed in on the first execution, is there a way to override that such as in stored procedures where you can specify that the proc is to be recompiled every time Thanks! -Brian Flynn I understand that for sure. What I'm wanting to know, ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Gamestate tutorial?
Hi all! I am looking for a GameState tutorial for XNA. I searched this forum and found a nice tutorial on the subject. ( http://www.kalme.de/index.php option=com_content&task=category§ionid=4&id=14&Itemid=26 ) Except that it's not using the XNA framework so there is alot of stuff in the tutorial that is already taken care of in XNA. If there is a tutorial about how to handle gamestates in XNA it would save me alot of time figureing it out by myself from the tutorial above. I am glad for all the advice I can get. Happy coding WOW. Like just hours ago I managed to wrap up a working GameStateManager with ScreenState classes inherits from a general base class and implements an IGameState i ...Show All
SQL Server The Device is not ready error when Executing package on the server
Hi, I have a package which reads an XML file from a certain folder and parses it. I deployed my package onto the server. Copied XML files on the D:\ drive the following folder on the server. Dim reader As New Xml.XmlTextReader( "D:\Apps\Request\Clients\ClientsStatus.xml" ) is fine.

Visual Basic INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE Staments for 2 tables
In VB.NET 2005, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE Staments for a TableAdapter can be generated automatically; but not for the two related tables. I find it very hard creating these statements manually. I request the members of this forum to help me with some examples. As for as I understand, SqlCommandBuilder works with DataAdapter, not with TableAdapter. Secondly, SqlCommandBuilder does not generate these statements for SQL containing JOINs. Thirdly, I want to learn that which I don't know. My question is more explained as below: I am using the following SQL statement: SELECT tblDrugs.DrugID AS DrugID, tblDrugs.DrugName, tblDrugs.PriceID AS PriceID, tblPrices.* FROM tblDrugs LEFT JOIN t ...Show All
SQL Server NULL funkiness!?
Iterating a WHILE loop, the following statement is executed repeatedly: SELECT @groupContractId = contract_id FROM Import.dbo.GSGPAncP g WHERE g.group = @emp_group_code AND g.sub= @emp_subgroup AND g.plan= @emp_plan If the statement returns NULL, @groupContractId ought to be set to NULL, correct SQL Server is (unfortunately) running in 65 compat mode, if it matters ... Instead, what I'm seeing, unexpectedly, is that variable retaining its value from the last iteration when the statement returns NULL.

Windows Forms Nothing is showing up in my datagridview
I'm using the ODBC driver to connect my visual studio application to my Firebird database. I have a dataset set up correctly, my tables along with the fields show up fine. I can preview data fine. I dragged a table onto my form from the data sources, and it showed the field names with no data. It added the dataset, a bindingsource and a table adapter to my application. However, when I run the program, nothing is showing up in the datagridview. I have spent a lot of time trying to debug this, but I haven't gotten anywhere. Where do I being I would hazard a guess that the connection is not being opoened and the datasource is not being set or the DataBind method is not being called The one problem wit ...Show All
