• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Trouble getting a WCF return a collection to a .NET 2.0 client

  hi all, Can we return a strongly typed collection from a WCF method to a .NET 2.0(ASMX) client. Thanks Kiran. Yes, of course. Collections are described in schema (by default) as arrays. So, as long as the array type is also described (using known types in WCF side) the ASMX client can use the WSDL to generate appropriate proxy and client types to serialize. ...Show All

Since i don't know exact format of config file, i'm getting following error Service 'HostAtIISLogic.ServiceLogicIIS' has zero application (non-infrastructure) endpoints.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Microsoft Agent Request Event Question

  Happy New Year VB Experts, I am attempting to use the Microsoft Agent in an application; you know, the Clipit and Merlin characters. According to the documentation that I have found there is a Request event which is fired by a number of the Agent methods. The agent _RequestComplete event is used to keep the Agent animations and the rest of the program in sync. This is how I attempted to program the Request event. The code sample just contains the code pertaining to this problem.

• SQL Server FTP task - StopOnFailure not working as I expect?

  Hi I'm using an FTP task in a loop to download files from a WAN based FTP server. I've got a script to generate the name of the file I require and place into a variable. Problem is sometimes some of the remote files haven't been published so the FTP component errors and the package fails.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) controls on top of each other

  I got a scenario, where I have to have some controls pop up on top of some other controls, basically just like a popup. So in my first attempt i used a Popup, but this element has some behavior, which gave me headaches. The biggest problem was, that the popup won't follow the original pop-up location when i.e. the window is moved or the content of the panel is scrolled up or down. Then I thought about using an adorner. Everything worked fine, except that I cannot interact with any control in my adorner layer. Here's my adorner class: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Documents; using System.Windows.Controls.Primitives; using System.Window ...Show All

• Visual C# how to convert text string to decimal numbers?

  I developed a form. There is a textarea for user input. Let's assume the textarea' s name is TBFreq ( I need the user to input the frequency) It seems when I get what the user input by TBFreq.Text , I get the string . In the program, I need to check whether the number user input among the required range. How to convert the string to decimal numbers Is there any built-in function for this After check, I should convert the decimal number to hexdecimal format and then send through some COM port to the board. So it seems I should convert the number again. Is it possible for me to convert the string to Hexdecimal number directly and then compare the it with some Hexidecimal values However, when I try on my PC, I can not co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Setup Project Custom Action to set CasPol

  Ok, final piece to my project. I need to be able to set the CasPol settings as part of a script run in my setup project. The wonderfully clear MS documentation sugggests that it should be easy to create a custom action to do so, yet all the wizard allows you to do is add files, not add a custom script to run the caspol settings. Can someone point me to a good resource for doing this I need to set caspol for a network share so I don't think the typical setsecurity or mad's security class will work. Thanks Denis, There are a couple ways to do this, I created an external DLL that essentially executes CasPol, passing it the necessary parameters (after all, CasPol is nothing more than a command-line utility) I then added tha ...Show All
