• Visual Studio Modify WCF Guidance Package

  I need to modify some custom pages in WCF service factory. I installed a copy of service factory code from the installer in sourcecode directory. From other posts in this forum, I understand that I need to change the GUID and manifest file. This may be a stupid question, but do I still need to change the GUID in WCF Guidance Package.xml It looks like the name there is already changed to "CustomWCFGuidancePackage". And besides that, anything else I need to change I just want to make sure my custom package won't corrupt anything in the original one. Thanks! Thanks for the link. I read from Don Smith's blog about recipe runner and he confirmed on Service Factory's forum that it will be available ...Show All

• .NET Development TransactionScope promotes to DTC when connection is reopenned!!

  The transaction scope gets promoted when two or more connection objects gets opened and enlists in the scope. This also applies when using the exact same connection string against a single SQL Server 2005 database to open the connection multiple times within the transaction scope. It is the number of sqlConnObject.Open() calls that count, not the number of connection strings used. How can I solve this !! I can't pass open connections to data access layer methods in order to prevent them from opening and closing new connections. I had the same problem. But I was able to solve it by using DbConnectionScope() class. Refer to http://blogs.msdn.com/dataaccess/archive/2006/02/14/532026.aspx for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't delete orphaned version control project

    Buck Hodges wrote: ... You might be able to delete it by first creating a new Team Project, specify that there should be no version control folder created in the project creation wizard, and then use tfsdeleteproject to delete the team project after you finish creating it. I'd already tried that. If it's created without a version cotrol project, then deleting it doesn't remove the "orphaned" VC project, even though it has the same name. TFS won't let me add/associate the VC project with the new (same-named) Team Project, complaining of a duplicate name. --Rich   Buck Hodges wrote: If the /force switch on tfsdeleteproject won't do it, then I don't know of a wa ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form base with a BindingSource - problem

  Hi, I am really frustrated, windowsforms designer is a big source of headaches. Well, my problem is the following: In Visual Studio 2005 I have a Form base with a BindingSource and an ErrorProvider which DataSource is precisely the BindingSource, all is fine until here. In other project I created a Form, which inherits of FormBase, I set DataSource of BindingSource's FormBase with an Object Data Source with this structure: Object Details1 (inherits from BindingList<T>) Details2 (inherits from BindingList<T>) For this reason I add 2 bindingSources for 2 datagridviews so: BindingSourceDetails1.DataMember = "Details1" BindingSourceDetails1.DataSource = BindingSource DataGridViewDetails ...Show All

• Visual Basic FSO DeleteFolder Issues

  Hi, all. I am new to this forum, and figured, why not go to the source with a problem I cannot find any reference to on the web!! I have an application that is using FSO to scan through folders, archiving the data from the network drive, to a zip and then bitstreamed into a SQLServer 2000 RDBMS. The folder structure is: <network>\\MainData\SN\TEST <date> <time>\<data> There can be multiple TEST folders for each serial numbered item (I work for a medium sized manufacturing concern in SoCal). My goal is to delete the SN folder and all its contents. When I step through the code, it works PERFECTLY. When I run the code, it will not delete the folders! It will delete the data within the TEST folder, but bo ...Show All

• .NET Development 32bit assembly 64bit application

  I developed an application in .Net 2.0, compiled for any platform, and ran successfully on my 32bit XP. I then ran on Windows 2003 x64 edition and my 32bit assembly throws an exception (unfortunately Matlab only supports .Net 1.1). If I take out the assembly it works on x64. My question is whether I can write my program in 2.0 and take advantage of 64bit but have the assembly run as 32bit I notice that despite more horsepower my program performs worse on x64 server. I'm guessing this is due to OS having to load it in 32bit environment vs running natively as 32bit on XP. What are my options If you compiled /platform:anycpu then when you run the application on Windows 2003 SP1 X64 edition your appli ...Show All

• SQL Server Trouble importing numbers from Excel file

  I'm using SQL Server 20005. I'm trying to import an Excel file that has column with some values being exlcusively numbers and other values that are text. Before importing, I formatted this column as text in Excel. To import the data I'm using the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. The problem: The wizard sets this particular field to nvarchar(255). This length works and the data type seems like it should too. But, when I complete the import, none of the numbers are imported - only the text. Where the numbers should be, it is null. No errors are given. I've tried changing to the data type to text, ntext, varchar but none seem to work - only the text is imported. Can anyone suggest how to get all of the data, both numbers and ...Show All

• Visual Basic link vb to fortran

  I have several subroutines which are written in FORTRAN.

To access it you need to use the VB declare statement. You can find documentation for the VB side of things here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vblr7/html/vastmDeclare.asp Also, the link to the fortran information I sent you (click the "next" button a couple of times) should provide you with help on w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Checked List Box File Type Sorting

  I am trying to write a program that will automatically change a users wallpaper image based on a list of images that I ahve shown in a Checked List box. The first Method i want to use to add files to it is by selecting a folder with images in it and adding them to an array. Then use a foreach loop to add them one by one to the Checked List Box.
