• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF and REST based Web Services - Queries

  Hi All, I had been through the articles and blogs for .NET 3.0 (formerly Indigo and WCF). I have few doubts and need more info to get a head start on WCF. I am planning to use REST based Web Services using WCF. Performance for me is critical issue since I will have to pass fair amount of Data Sets across the Services layers (using DTO pattern here) Can someone give some hints for me to kick start on how to begin building Web Services using REST pattern leveraging WCF Also when we use WCF what would you suggest 1) ServiceHost to host Windows Communication Foundation endpoints within application domains. OR 2) Hosting the Service in IIS With what binding would it be faster ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS doesn't read all input rows

  Hi *, I'm trying to import a flat file with ~3500 rows into a SQL-DB. SSIS extracts only around half the rows. It leaves out every 2nd row. Anyone had this problem before Thanks! I would suggest that your file has different field terminators i.e. some lines are carriage return and line feed and others are just line feeds. If you open the file in hex editor i..e textpad, you should see 0A0D (I think its that way round) for carriage return line feed. What is creating the file ...Show All

• Visual Basic Read method problem with Store Procedure

  Hello. A question please. I created a class wich contains a read method on a file. This read method uses a store procedure to read information.

• Visual Studio Team System Prefast defectsum.txt?

  I'm trying to produce the "summary results file" mentioned here: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/drvsign/dqs.mspx I understand this summary results file to be named DefectSum.txt. However, I haven't been able to find any sort of documentation on how to go about producing this file. Indeed, searching for "defectsum.txt" on google produces 0 results. Am I mistaken about the name of the summary results file, or is there something I'm missing Could defectsum.txt just be the output from the "prefast list" command, as opposed to the xml output Thanks. Are you using Prefast from Visual Studio, or Prefast for Drivers from the Windows Driver Kit DefectsSum.txt is only generat ...Show All

• .NET Development Empty String Being Passed

  I have a stored procedure that sends cdo mail, and the sp has a parameter that I can pass a semi-colon separated list to that specifies the attachments for the e-mail.....The e-mail has always worked for me, and when I pass it the attachment parameter from query analyzer it works fine, and it has always worked when the procedure is called via .NET. The problem is that recently I have .NET dll that I created that passes a long list of attachments to the sp, I tried the values from query analyzer and they worked but when I pass them from .NET the sp says the parameter value is blank. There are no errors, it just seems to be not accepting such a long parameter string even though the value is shorter than the parameter length (in both the sp a ...Show All

• SQL Server How to determine date/time message was placed onto Queue?

  I need to determine the actual date/time that a message was placed on the queue. In my "activated" procedure I want to log this information and pass it along to further processing routines. From what I can tell, the Queue table itself does not have this information captured. There would be a performance penalty for storing SENT and ENQUEUED times into the target queue for each message even if the user was not really interested in those statistics. Our current model is that any user-specific data (sent-timestamp, order-number, request-id, message-id, sender-user-name, etc) would be encapsulated into the message_body itself. ...Show All
