• .NET Development Web Service Method Pass By Reference

  I'm working on a Web Services app that needs to pass objects by reference. Freeman and Jones book, ".NET XML Web Services Step By Step" states that when doing so you must use the ref keyword in the method definition and method call. Passing objects in C# are automatically passed by reference (See the code example below). My question: Is this default pass by reference behavior for objects different for Web Service methods and therefore requires explicit designation of the object as a reference type in the Web Service method and call Thanks, Mike using System; namespace RAndD { /// <summary> /// Summary description for Class1. /// </summary> class RAndDApp { /// ...Show All

• .NET Development SSL session problem

  How can I establish an SSL session ! When I connect to a SSL site using my browser, the SSL session is established. But when i try to do the same using C# I don't seem to be succesfull. Another problem that I don't understand is the fact that when I use my browser to connect to the IP address for instance https://192.168.100.12/advanced_statusF.cgi the session is open and i can login. the problem arises when i copy the page to disk and try to access C:\Documents and Settings\Goran.Kostel\Desktop\Fantom Login.mht , which is just a save as copy of the page, I can't log in. My intention is to login using C# but it appeares I'm not able to do that. Thanks!   My code is as follows..   string p_aURL = "h ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I disable highlighting on Toolstrip items when the form doesn't have focus

  Using the Toolstrip or MenuStrip controls, items highlight on mouseover.  This is desireable when the form has focus, but when the form does not have focus it is undesireable because clicking the button doesn't actually activate it, it simply set s the focus on the form.  A second click is needed to activate the button.   I'd like the Toolstrip to behave like that of Office or Visual Studio and not highlight the buttons on mouseover if the form isn't active, but I can't see any properties that would activate this behavior.  I'm hoping it's something simple that I'm missing and it's not going to be a case of having to subclass the Toolstrip control just to get (what I would consider to be) the correct behavior out ...Show All

• Visual Studio Problem building Managed C++ project with Msbuild that has multiple assembly references

  I have a VS2005 solution that includes a Managed C++ project as well as several C# projects. The C++ project references several of the C# projects.

• SQL Server Log File Flush Training for Newby

  Sorry to ask such a basic question but I have inherited this DBA position and I have no SQL training... I have a log file that is 148GB (yes GB) but available space is 18GB. I am backing up to \\server\share temporarily but want to free up the space. How do I flush it I ran maintenance to shrink but not nuch success. It was not setup right initially, as the max size is 2,048,512 (MB). I'm guessing the initial dba was thinking it was KB. Anyway, I need to flush (or whatever it is called now) to reduce the size. We had BackupExec but they got rid of that for Symantec Backup Exec System Restore which backs up the whole server as an image so it does not backup and flush the logs. Any suggestions Thanks in advance. ...Show All

  I have a web service that works fine from a standalone xaml app. Now I'm trying to call it from an xbap, but I get a n exception Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.WebPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. from what I've found so far, an xbap can't call to any site other than its original site.

• Visual C# Conditional References

  I probably named my thread wrong, but I didn't know what to call it. Basically, I'm making an application which interfaces with various media players. To do this, I reference and use each media player's COM library/interface. This all works fine, however, to use the COM the user must have the specific media player installed. So theoretically, at the moment, for someone to use my application they would have to have all media players supported by my program installed, this is a major downfall. So I was wondering if there was a way to conditionally 'reference' these COM interfaces, in such a way that I can ask the user which media player(s) he would like to support and then use those interfaces, therefore avoiding a problem ( Or I can also si ...Show All
