• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Svcutil XmlSerializer Mistery

  We have a WCF-enabled COM+ application. When svcusitl is run with no parameters other then URL, e.g: svcutil HTTP://CTXWHDEVETSNG1:4999/X/CORPTaxETS_2007/LYWEnterprise.EnterpriseManagerMultiYear.2007/mex the resulting proxy contains [System.ServiceModel.XmlSerializerFormatAttribute()], and Request/Response classes are created for some COM objects but not for others. I checked all possible differences between the objects, and read http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/ms733901.aspx but still can't figure out what triggers the XmlSerializer options to be used by default for some our objects. Any pointers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, -gn If your data uses XML schema constructs not supported by DataContract ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Replicator with PolicyActivity hurts my brain

  Even after some help from a kind poster I'm still not getting how to use PolicyActivity within a replicator. I created a new activity derived from SequenceActivity. I added a property to it, with the DependencyProperty gunk around it like the SimpleReplicator SDK sample shows. This all initializes fine. My problem is now I drag a PolicyActivity into my Sequence. How can rules in this PolicyActivity use my custom property on the parent Sequence Activity I've tried GetActivityByName to get the sequence, but it doesn't appear I can cast in a rule condition (or I don't know the syntax) to my derived type to be able to access the property in say, a condition. Even if I could, this would not be a great way to write rules against that property. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSAS Poor resource usage

  Our users use Excel 2003 pivot table to analyze data on our SSAS 2005 database. They experience poor performance as soon as the products dimension is involved (800.000 leaf members), query performance is worse than with AS2000. At the same time, we notice that msmdsrv.exe only occupies 350 Mb of memory at the peak, and only 25% of processor time (bursts above 25% of processor time do occur, but are extremely rare). This is on a dual-core x64 Opteron, effectively a 4-way processor, with 16 Gig of memory. Why is msmdsrv waisting time constantly allocating and freeing-up memory at the 100 to 400 Mb level, where we have about 12 Gig of memory on that server sitting idle How can we make msmdsrv aware of those available 12 Gig and 7 ...Show All

• .NET Development CertMgr.exe

  Hello, This MSDN article talks about calling certmgr.exe to automate adding certificates on the client work stations. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnwinforms/html/clickoncetrustpub.asp frame=true But CertMgr.exe is a part of the SDK and not just the framework redistributable. So how does one automate the task of installing the trusted publisher and Certifying Authority certificate Thanks, Avinash This could also be done programmatically through .NET using the X509 classes. Perhaps something like this: X509Certificate2 cert = new X509Certificate2(certFileName); X509Store store = new X509Store(StoreName.TrustedPublisher, StoreLocation.LocalMachine); // or StoreName.Root and/or Sto ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista COM Elevation Monikor and "Server Busy" message

  Hi, maybe somebody can help me with this: I have adapted our app to use the COM Elevation Monikor for access to the registry. The COM object itself works fine and I can call functions into it with elevated rights. My problem is that whenever I call CoGetObject to load the COM object I get a "Server Busy" window hiding behind mine. When I click on the icon in the Taskbar it just dissappears and continues with the COM object. This happens every time during debugging and about half the time when running without a debugger.

• Visual C# What can a subclass do?

  I am a little confused about what a sub class can do with the variables and methods inherited from the super class. According to the book I have read, the subclass can choose to do one of the following: 1. Accept the same variables and methods by doing nothing 2. Ignore the same variable and methods by doing nothing also 3. Add new variables and methods 4. Override the variables and methods. My questions are as follows: 1. If you choose to ignore or accept the variables and methods by doing nothing (you can still see these methods and variables in class view), how would the system know whether you are accepting or ignoring the variables and methods 2. Can you override variables How do you do that 3. What actually happens in Polymorphism D ...Show All
