• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Contract first development using WCF

  Hi, I am trying to build a service contract first using the WCF. None of the suggested commands however seem to be producing anything feasible. svcutil Little.wsdl generates the client side code which isn't what i need. I have also tried svcutil /dconly Little.wsdl but this fails with the following message Microsoft (R) Service Model Metadata Tool [Microsoft (R) Windows (R) Communication Foundation, Version 3.0.4506.3] Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.

• Visual C# Not able to find the function name in the assembly through reflection.

  Hi, I have an interface and some functions inside it. I have a class which implements this interface and one function prints "Hello world." and one property returning one integer value. Now I have compiled this class into an assembly. After this I have created one console application which loads this class and try to find out the function and property. I am using this code. Assembly a = Assembly .LoadFrom( "E:\\ClassForInterface.dll" ); MethodInfo method = a.GetTypes()[0].GetMethod( "INonUITests.RunTests" ); ParameterInfo [] parameter = method.GetParameters(); foreach ( ParameterInfo info in parameter) { Console .WriteLine( "Type of the parameter is :" + info.ParameterType); Console .ReadLine(); ...Show All

• SQL Server Clustered constraint v clustered index

  I inherited a database where the designer uses unique clustered constraints instead of indexes for primary keys. Now as far as I can make out, there is no performance issue because it is clustered. My question is, why only create a unique clustered constraint instead of a unique clustered index My thinking is that a primary key should be ceated as an index rather than a constraint. Does it matter Hi Kenster. A unique clustered constraint, a unique clustered index, and a primary key are all really different objects/types. A primary key is a constraint, so when you create a primary key, you'll end up with a primary key constraint to enforce it...a primary key uses a special unique constraint beh ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) snap to device pixel for DrawingContext

  For performance reasons, I am using DrawingContext / OnRender. However, I would like to snap to the device pixel. Is there a way to do it at this level thanks Marcus, Thanks for your reply. How do you create the GuidelineSet though. I assume that if physical pixels = logical pixels, one has to add 0.5 to each snap point. However, if physical pixels != logical pixels, things would be much more difficult. Am I missing something obvious ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Conversion from Visual Embedded C++ to Visual Studio 2005

  Hello, My objective is offcourse to change development tool from Visual Embedded C++ to Visual Studio 2005.

• .NET Development Transfering xml

  I have a webserice, that has reference from class library's dataset. Here, in dataset, there is some tables with bisness rules. I created a method in webservice that fills dataadapters of main dataset and returns dataset. In web-page I call this method and bring dataset's data in xml-format to xmldatasource. Then with xsl transformation I represent transformed xml from xmldatasource in grid. Layers: class library -->web service -->xmldatasource --> grid When I made the required changes in table I need to transfer this changed data back into classlibrary's dataset. How can I do this Maybe with xmlreader I make all "in-transfer" with XmlDataSource.Data = WebService.GetCategories.GetXml(). ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Truly Dynamic Runtime Activity Property Nirvana

  I'd like to acheive "Truly Dynamic Runtime Activity Property Nirvana". My most critical custom workflow activity needs to expose a list of items that is not known at custom activity compile time. Each item in the list can be bound to from other activities - this is a pretty powerful concept for our workflow application that makes it very useful for end users that design their own workflows with my custom activity. I've figured out a solution where this dynamic custom activity is possible but it involves dynamically generating / compiling a brand new custom activity class on the fly - not the prettiest solution and I'm trying to create a better solution. Ghenadie has a neat example of how to create dynamic properties here ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Planning a project

  I have an Excel system that does the in-store accounting for 15 gas stations\convience stores. I call it a system because I did not know very much at all about programming or visual basic to start with when I put it together back in '01. There are buttons on a screen that invoke code for forms that accept input which is placed in cells on the spreadsheet. Other cells have formulas. Basically, in a nut shell, I made the spread sheets do the work that the managers used to do by hand. Some things I just do not understand. I am a "picture" thinker, so often "word discriptions" just do not sink in. 1.

• SQL Server "The package contains two objects with the duplicate name of "xxxx" and "xxxx"

  Hi all, I am creating a Data Flow custom component in SSIS, and my input/output columns are dynamically created depending on the value of a custom property of the component. Then, as soon as I modify this custom property, I make some job in SetComponentProperty(), that I have overrided in my PipelineComponent, to create my input and ouput columns. After validation, I have the following error message: Error 3 Validation error.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Collision Detection

  Hello, I would like to create a collision detection function to test if the bounding sphere of one of my meshes (the player, for instance) is intersects a triangle in another model (the level). How would I go about running a for loop that checks each triangle of the level And from there, what would be the best algorithm to determine if the BoundingSphere is within the triangle Any help is greatly appreciated. That still doesn't answer my question of how to access each of the vertices in the mesh. I understand the concepts of checking each vertex's distance from the center point of my object and how I can determine if it has collided, but I still don't know how to do this. ...Show All

• SQL Server Timeout Expire Error message

  Hi all, My application is developed using VB6.0 and SQL Server 2000. Frequently the application displays error message, which says 'Timeout Expired - occurred while getting records" when no. of users grows more than 20. We are using processor based licence SQL Server. Under what are all the scenario, this error may come Anybody explain me. Thanks in advance. K.Manoharan Hi Vharshini, Is there any additional error message text available If so, please provide it. I would expect, based on the message text, that you probably ran into a query timeout.

• Visual Studio Team System Test Class Heirarachy

  It seems that the Unit Test framework is misusing the attributes: In my situation, I have a single base class that more or less defines an interface (a browsable ordered list), I then have a number of descendent classes that provide different implementations for different circumstances (AVL Tree, Linked List, etc.) Since each class actually implements identical behavior, I created one abstract class that contains the tests. e.g. public abstract class ListTestBase { protected abstract List<string,string> GetListToTest(); [TestMethod] public void TestInOrderAdd() { ..... } ... } then one TestClass per implementation: [TestClass] public class AVLTreeTest: ListTest { public override List ...Show All
