• .NET Development SQLDataReader.GetOrdinal() fails rarely with IndexOutOfRange

  Hi everybody, We were developed some Web-Services that run against SQL Server 2000 with SQLDataReader that executing Stored Procedures in the DB. Most of time (95%) everything is running well, but sometimes (when exactly, we don't know) the same WebService that worked 200 times, fail. The code is simple:         public string myFunction( int ANumber )         {             string strRetVal = null ;             SqlDataReader myReader = null ;             SqlConnection MyConn = null ;             ...Show All

• Windows Forms SQLXML as a custom prerequisite

  Hi all, I need to install SQLXML as a custom prerequisite. Can someone point me to a discussion on how to do this I can't seem to find any examples or tutorials or discussions to get me started. Thanx! WNC I believe there is not an actual "install" but there is going to be some file and package copying needed. For example you will need to copy the product and package manifest files, along with your redistributable files into the "\SDK\v2.0\Bootstrapper\" directory on each machine that you will want to work from. From what you are saying this sounds like something you want to avoid but believe this is the only option if you want to be able to build the installation...on any of your machines with VS and ha ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista AD (Active Directory) Roles

  Maybe someone with experience can help me. I have always worked with applications that have managed their own security and the security model has always been "fine-grained" in that each object has a collection of possible permissions, several objects are "instance aware" in that permissions and filters may be based and set dependent on instance values. Furthermore, the roles are user-configurable. For example, let's say we have an application with a WorkOrder form. The form may have permissions for Add, Edit, Delete, View, Print, etc. Within the object, the valid values or permissions for Delete may be None, Own, Group, or Unrestricted. If the current user is assigned a Role where the permission for Delete is s ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS6 Enterprise equivalent in VS 2005

  Hi, What is the equivalent version of VS6 Enterprise edition in VS2005 series. Also which platfrom SDK we require to use with VS 2005. Visual Studio 2005 comes in several flavors: Visual Studio 2005 Product Line Overview Visual Studio 2005 Team System Editions Comparison There is no direct equivalent of the Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise Edition, instead when you are upgrading to Visual Studio 2005 I recommend you take a look at your exact needs and based on this decide for which version to go. If I had to give one edition that comes close enough to the Enterprise Edition I would say that it is propably the Visual Studio Team Edition for Software Developers. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom team project creation failed on RTM with TF30162

  Hi all, We upgraded to team foundation server RTM (from TFS beta 3 refreh) single server deployment couple of weeks ago. The upgarde went fairly smooth. We have a custom process template on our team project (based on the MSF agile). After the upgarde we managed to create a new test team project based on this custom template. Today when I tried to create another one (again based on the custom template) the project creation wizard fails with the message "Actual reporting settings for the field System.Title are different from those specified in the XML. Changing these settings is prohibited" (as detailed in the creation log attached). We hav'nt changed this field in the customization but it's possible we changed its reporti ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ItemsTemplate and DockPanel

  Hi! I'm trying to use a DockPanel instead of the StackPanel for a HeaderedItemsControl. I know how to get it to work but only for vertical (left->right) docking. How can I have a HeaderedItemsControl with every item docked to Top and the last item fills the remaining space (LastChildFill = True). Thanks. I suspect the LastChildFill feature isn't working because the last item container has been assigned a value for the DockPanel.Dock property. If you add in custom logic which prevents the last item container from having a value for that attached property, it should work (I assume). How exactly one might go about adding in that custom logic, I'm don't know off the top of my head. Perhaps a trigg ...Show All

• Visual Basic vb.net 2005 ALT-TAB forms not hidden

  In v2003 setting the form property 'ShowInTaskbar' to FALSE would hide the form from the task bar but also hide the form if I did a 'ALT-TAB'. This is not the case in v2005.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Need some pseudo code for a "simple" scenario

  Hi guys, Here's my dilemma. I have a canvas hosting a bunch of PathGeometry's that can be dragged around and re-positioned etc. Keeping in mind that these are all very non rectangular shapes, I'd like to be able to label the Filled areas of the shapes with text. So the end result would be that both the shapes AND their corresponding text would move in unison when I darg the shapes about. Any ideas on what the easiest way to achieve my goals is Thanks!
