• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ChannelFactory.Close() throws CommunicationException error

  Hi, I've created an intermediate service that accepts a message on a one-way contract from a client and then forwards the message onto a server based on a message header entry. The service contract for the intermediate service requires sessions and the binding uses wsHttpBinding with reliableSession set to true. When I receive a message from the client and then create a channel factory to forward the message to the server, when I close the channel factory I get the error: 'The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Channels.ServiceChannel, cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.'. void IOneWaySessionRelayService.RelayMessage(Message message) { // Find ultimate receiver endpoint Ulti ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MarhalByRefObject

  Two questions: 1.) I'd like to create a proxy for automatically generated entity framework classes. The problem is that the generated classes do not extend MarshalByRefObject. Is there any workaround 2.) Is it possible to define that the properties of the generated classes are private instead of public Thanks! Marcel Adding on to Mike's Answer: With respect to the second question, our code gen tools will read an attribute on the getters and setters for each property you define and allow you to define those methods as public, internal or private. Here's the schema extensions you'd need to use in your CSDL file: < xml version = " 1.0 " encoding = " utf-8 " > < xs:schema ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. animating textures

  Hi there - this is probably a very simple problem but I've not stumbled over the answer yet. My Art Monkey has just sent me a model with an animated gif file attached. XNA complains about this texture so presumably gifs are not yet supported. Is there a way round this For instance a simple way to apply a texture to a model, or change the UV coordinates a model is using, so I could have a big bitmap with the necessary graphics on it and just change the UV Or even some way to load a bitmap into another structure, perhaps a Texture3D, which I've just noticed, and apply it to a model. Apologies if this is painfully simple or has been covered elsewhere. Cheers Robin. Do You have some programs to ...Show All

• .NET Development MSMQ public queue

  Hi, recently i was trying to create public queues on a workgroup machine but i realised that i cannot create public queues on a workgroup. Only on domain but i am still not sure about this. And can i create a public queue remotely on another computer Say Machine A creates a public queue on machine B Can i add triggers programmatically Thanks I have a follow up question to this. I understand that cannot create a public queue within a workgroup, but you can create a private queue and allow applications to access it, provided they provide the IP address or the name of the computer. In the MessageQueue constructor documentation there are some hints on how to do this; however I am running ...Show All

• Visual Studio Bitmap image not displaying for IE - OK on Firefox

  I have a report with an image coming from a database field. I have tried viewing the report as a local using the ReportViewer control in a web page. Also have tried it as a remote remote report in reportserver. In both cases the bitmap image shows up correctly if I use Firefox as the browser but doesn't when using IE. With IE I just get the small square with red x. If I export the report to PDF or Excell the images display fine. If anyone else has had this problem and has a solution please let me know how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated. Tom Richards trichards@pharmitas.com ...Show All

• Windows Forms Tab Key is not tapped!

  Why doesn't my code work The code is in the KeyPressed event of my textbox - If e.KeyChar = ControlChars.Tab Then messagebox.show ("Tab key was pressed!") end if Regards! Kapalic But, unless VB handles these events differently than C# (and I doubt that this is the case), you should not have been able to trap the Tab key in either one of those events unless you also overrode either the ProcessCmdKey or the IsInputKey method(s) in your TextBox's parent class. Can you verify this is the case I'm mainly interested in learning whether VB handles it differently than C# (since I don't even have VB installed, I can't test this for myself). ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA with languages different than C#

  Will XNA express run with other .NET languages different then C# For example, VB or Managed C++ ... I don't care about supporting other languages as I use c# on a daily basis, not that learning a new language is that big of a deal, what was the reasoning to not allow the plugin to run in VS Pro I would assume that express is more extensible than pro or you guys were just trying to keep it simple, but I think it has caused more confusion since there is no reason that I can see offhand that you cannot use the GSE to work with pro. Just curious. Thanks, Chad ...Show All

• .NET Development Problem binding an ssl certificate to a port :-(
