• .NET Development SOAP complex content - array of strings

  Kinda working backwards - need to build a proxy client for a legacy app, and it needs to work on an Axis/Tomcat server I can never see live, so I'm working from the server's WSDL to build something to test against while I work on the client. Built the simple VB web service and have no problem accessing any string or int method parameters passed from a client to the web service, but I can't access the values of string(), array or arraylist parameters. I've been working plain old Windows apps and services for a while - may need a bit of a refresher. Appreciate any help, but I'd love to see some vb source of a complex SOAP service.

• Visual C++ MSVC 2003: ctor-try-block error: possible compiler bug

  This message was originally posted to comp.lang.c++.moderated ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi! I 've faced a problem in my production code. I could deduce this problem to program shown below. It seems, that try-block in constructor doesnt work as it should (compared to case where no try block exists at all). I tested this small program on my MSVC .NET Pro 2003 (and separately on PC with MSVC2003 SP1 installed). In both cases I experienced the same behaviour - access violation. Please see comment inside the program body. To get this sample work - just comment out try block in ctor. Have anyone faced such behaviour before Is there known workarounds Thanks. Kiri ...Show All

• Visual Basic Performance- Code Snippet

  Hello, Any suggestions for improvement in this code snippet, performance wise [expecially since we have Generics in .net 2.0] Dim arr() As String = Split(PageRange, "-") Dim StartPage As Integer = CInt(arr(0)) Dim EndPage As Integer = CInt(arr(1)) And the split method works with a string - so calling this is splitting a string to make and array of string based upon the separator characters. Generics is not going to help you here - as the method itself is based around splitting a string. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) NetMsmqBinding does not Queue

  I am new to Indigo. So far, this technology looks like it should be very useful for many of our applications, but am not having much luck with the example code. We are most interested in the asynch possibilities of NetMsmqBinding. The MSDN samples (examples) for NetMsmqBinding are not working for me, though the non-queuing examples do work. Specifically, the "Transacted MSMQ Binding" and the "Transacted Batching" examples at MSDN Library > .NET Development > Samples > Windows Communication Foundation Samples > Windows Communication Foundation Technology Samples > Basic Windows Communication Foundation Technology Samples > Binding Samples > Net Binding Samples > NetMsmqBinding Samples (whew! ...Show All
