• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to return a List<T> using WCF

  I have an application that reads lots of small blocks of records from a data store primarily to supply the application's numerous lists (drop-down etc.) I have been returning DataSets using web services in .NET 2. Now I would like to implement the same functionallity in WCF. I have already got methods that return DataSets in WCF that duplicate the functionallity. However it occurs to me that I could make a list of the rows represented as class objects and return a list instead. The idea being that the server is doing some of the work for me and that I could more easily port a web version of the service if the result is in List<T> form from the service. At this point I take a DataSet and create the List<T> at the client which ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Simple 3D Cube using BasicEffect -- No shading/color

  I am trying to just create a cube using BasicEffect, not shaders like in the sample code for a simple cube in the help (see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=687011&SiteID=1 ). However, I only see the cube as a flat grey hexagon -- no colors, no shading, not even the edges of the cube are seen -- only the flat grey against the background. When I run the above code, I do get a colored cube. I have an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT, which does support Pixel and Vertex Shader 2.0+. I've messed with every effect method there is, so I'm not sure what I'm missing.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Where is the Application database to be installed?

  Hey all, According to the Windows Vista Software Logo Spec 1.0.doc ( Version 1.0.0006 ), Item 2.3 "Install to Correct Folders": Applications should be installed to Program Files or the user’s AppData folder by default. For per-machine installations, user data must be written at first run and not during the install. Since the install potentially elevates to a different user account during the per-machine install, there is no correct user location to store data at install time. Our multi-user application is intended to be installed "per-machine", so any user of the machine (or network) could share the application data. That said, can anybody explain in plain English, where should the application ...Show All

• .NET Development how to not include base class in shema

  Hello I have three classes A,B,C. B derves from A and C derives from B. I only want to include A and C in the wsdl so that the client does not see B. I tried to use the [ XmlType (IncludeInSchema = false )] on B but then C wont be included either. Even adding [ XmlType (IncludeInSchema = true )] to C wont include C. How can this be done I do not want to include B and B:s properties should not be seen in C either. Thanks Yes I have been using [XmlIgnore] on all properties of B so A and B are exactly the same seen from client. I guess the only thing left to do is to tell the clients not to use B and that A is identical to B. ...Show All

• .NET Development Root / Global element issue in Schema

  Apologies in advance if the question sounds silly but here is my problem. I am reviewing a schema generated by a tool which does get validated without a problem. Looking deeper into it I found that there is no root or global element specified in the schema because of which I cannot generate a sample XML. I was under the assumption that you have to specify at least one root or global element in a schema but it looks like that is not the case. Should this not be enforced or am I missing on something Please help!! Sumeet You can write schema modules to compose a schema from several modules using xs:include. You can also import schema modules for other target namespaces using xs:import. A schema might for instance only define a ...Show All
