• .NET Development Web Service Unable to access Directory (Temporary ASP.NET Files)

  Question Moving web service to a production level server. This is not a new server, but is new to running an ASP.NET 2.0 web service. No other websites or services existed on this server. Installed .Net 2 and specified that ASP is registered for 2.0 using aspnet_regiis. Installed missing components such as Front page extensions. When I try to browse to the services asmx page I get the error saying that the process has a compilation error and cannot access the asp.net temp directory under the 2.0 Framework. I looked at the directory and it appears that the asp.net process and others have correct access. Note a basic asp.net page will come up as well as a basic html page. All comments are welcome.

• Visual Basic SQL Server Settings save

  Hi, I was wondering if someone could give me some guidance on saving your SQL server information so that next time you open your application you don't need to enter all the info again i.e. ServerName, Database, Username etc. I do want the user to set this up, so I don't want to hard code it in the application.

• .NET Development ICorDebugController::Stop problem

  Hello, sometimes calling the method ICorDebugController::Stop NEVER terminates nor returns S_TIMEOUT or something like that. It returns only if I terminate process manually by Task Manager. A time ago I was not able to stop my application in Visual Studio. After a minute, VS shows a form reporting that a application cannot be stopped... (I suppose Stop returns S_TIMEOUT or not :) ). MSDN tells us : " Stop is the only synchronous method in the debugging API. When Stop returns S_OK , the process is stopped. No callback is given to notify listeners of the stop. " So for example ... is't possible to execute Stop method in the second thread and if not returns after a specified amount of time, terminate a executing thread ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista While loop activity

  Hello, I posted a while back on an issue I was having with a while loop in a workflow. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=656133&SiteID=1 Alex Mujar provided me with an answer, however I think this is a work around and would like to understand whether this is expected behaviour or a bug. To summarise I am creating workflows in my host by reflection. I reflect into a DLL that contains the workflow to create an instance of the workflow type. My host needs to be independent of specific workflow types, so I use reflection rather than creating types statically. If I put the workflow DLL in the application path for my host all is well. If I do not include the workflow DLL in the application path then I ...Show All
