• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to change default xml namespace of DataContractSerializer?

  I would like to change the default xml namespace " http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07 " of the data contract serializer. The MSDN article Data Contract Names explains how to override the standard namespace mapping for all contracts: // This overrides the standard namespace mapping for all contracts in MyCorp.CRM. [assembly:ContractNamespace(ClrNamespace = "MyCorp.CRM", Namespace= "http: //schemas.example.com/crm")] namespace MyCorp.CRM { // The namespace is overridden to become: // http://schemas.example.com/crm. // But the name is the default "Customer".

• SQL Server Drillthrough results conditioning

  Hi, I would like to be able to set a condition to define the results of my drillthrough in AS 2005. Let's use an example to explain what I am trying to do : We got a Cube with 2 dimensions ( Time, Products ) and a measure ( Sales Amount). In our cube we have stored detailed informations about our vendors, customers and stores. The following statement should return all rows from the columns Customers, Vendors and Stores names. DRILLTHROUGH SELECT {[Time].[Time hierachy].} on Columns, {[Products].[Product.hierarchy]} on Rows FROM My_Cube WHERE ([Measures].[Sales Amount] RETURN [Fact].[Sales Amount] ,[$Vendor].[Vendors name] ,[$Customer].[Customers name] ,[$Stores].[Stores name] I wonder if it is possible to set a conditi ...Show All

• .NET Development Determine if a path is a file or a directory

  Hi all! What is the more efficient way to determine if a given path represents a file or a directory in the file system For example: C:\Test.txt -> The function must return a value indicating the path is a file. C:\Windows -> -> The function must return a value indicating the path is a directory. Thanks in advance, Marco. The Path.HasExtension method is probably as close as you'll come without checking that the target resource exists. However, if the target resource does exist, merely checking for the presence or absence of an extension is not sufficient since it's possible for a file name to lack an extension. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DT_CALCRECT in .NET

  I've been trying to make a function to measure text for a long time now, I simply keep giving up and saying I'll come back to it later. It just dawned on me why I was having trouble. There is no DT_CALCRECT equivalent in DrawTextFormat. Is this an oversight or purposeful exclusion If the latter, what is the replacement Edit: I should also mention that DrawText doesn't quite do what I want. If I specify the text string "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" and a Rectangle of (0, 0, 100, 0) using 8pt Verdana, DrawText reports I need a height of 12. So I give it 12, and it reports 24. So I give it 24 and it reports 36, so I give it 36, then it finally says 36 (still). Sure I can use this method to calc ...Show All

• Visual C# Trouble with WinNT provider on remote OS with other language.

  I'm using this code: DirectoryEntry O = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + ServerName + "/" + UserName); O.Rename(NewName); it works fine only on OS where language equals my OS language. E.g. it works when remote system is Windows XP SP2 RUS. But when remote OS is Windows 2000 SP4 RUS or Windows XP SP2 ENG it throws an exception. Why this so I don't cleary know how it sounds in english. But in my translation from russian it sounds like: {"The Active Directory object, at path WinNT://DOMAIN/WORKSTATION, is not in container."} I am a domain Administrator and can do this operation by hand (rename remote user) through MMC.

• SQL Server Multiple records returned.

  The following statement gives the error that multiple records are returned. I am attempting to pick one weight out of a group of three, the three have the same ResidentID and different dates in the table variable @WeightReportRaw.

  I am looking to create a custom pushpin, where instead of the default pushpin appearing, you see a rectangle with the name/title of the location.
