• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ServiceDescription and ServiceModelSectionGroup

  Hello, I'm new to WCF and not aware if my question has been asked before. I'd like to know if there's any simple way to create a ServiceDescription from ServiceModelSectionGroup, and also the other way around. Cheers. IN. No, the two entities are not one-to-one (e.g. a ServiceModelSectionGroup is the config OM for an entire config file's worth of ServiceModel stuff, including multiple services and clients). What is the bigger picture (what are you trying to accomplish) ...Show All

• Visual C# string and object class

  Hai, string and object are classes of System namespace, System.Object, System.String. However when coding we uses *o*bject and not *O*bject. But for other classes i.e; System.Stream, we write code as Stream and not stream. What is the reason, it just a confusing to differentitate between classes. What Java did was right, all classes starts with caps letter, methods starts with low cases. It is a good thing ........... Hi Saami, In C# object and Object are same similarly string and String, C# has given us alias to help us. :-). you can find complete list from http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x53a06bb.aspx Regards Chitrsen Aujikar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Exception thrown when accessing static instance of out of process singleton COM server from more than one test

  I am trying to use unit tests to test an interface class I have written to an out of process singleton COM server. In the test I instantiate a static reference to my singleton COM server. Each test then performs different operations on that singleton server. When I run the tests one at a time everything works fine. If I try to run all the tests at once then I get the exception "System.Runtime.InteropServices.InvalidComObjectException: COM object that has been separated from its underlying RCW cannot be used" on all of the tests except the very first one. I tried the identical tests in NUnit and everything worked fine. It looks my RCW is getting Disposed between tests even though the RCW is defined as static. Any fix or workaroun ...Show All

• SQL Server Matrix Report and Expression on field

  I have a matrix report that has two columns, and one of the colums has the following expression for background color: =IIF( Fields!Percentile.Value >= .10, "Yellow", "White") Basically if the percent is greater than 10 highlight the field, for some reason i have some fields that dont show up yellow, see below: http://duhaas.googlepages.com/percent.Jpg your colour expression needs to wrap the field reference with the same aggregate function as the textbox value expression. So, if you are using: =sum(Fields!Percentile.Value) as your value then change the colour expression to =IIF( SUM ( Fields!Percentile.Value ) >= .10, "Yellow", "White") this is because when no aggr ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ObjectDataProvider.Refresh() thread safe?

  I am updating status information from several independent threads into a central status collection class. I have some of that status data bound to UI elements, and I've found that I need to call Refresh() in order to force the display to update. This is all fine and good, but I'm wondering if it is OK to call Refresh from several different threads. The code seems to work OK, but I don't want some weird race condition cropping up as my code gets more complicated. Actually ObjectDataProvider.Refresh() method will handle the threading issues behind the scenes for you, Refresh() method will internally call BeginQuery() method which will delegate the query work to the appropriate thread based on value of IsAsy ...Show All

  hi all, i've done a couple of reports in visual studio using sql reporting services. i call these reports in a web app, using a reportviewer control. the reports are run on one of our servers. when the page containing the reportviewer opens, no data is displayed. but if i choose to export the report data into any of the formats(xml, csv, etc.), the data is perfect. i'm sure it must be a setting that i'm missing somewhere. any help would be much appreciated. ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder Report Possibility?

  This may not be possible, but I wanted to see what some of the experts' opinions are here. One of our users has created a report in Report Builder. I want to take this report, post it to a folder and allow her employees to run the report. I've put it in a folder called "Reference Line Reports" and gave browser permission to a list of users. These users are able to run the report (without having access to Report Builder or the report model). When they try to utilize the "infinite clickthrough" functionality, I get the following error. The permissions granted to user '<domain>\<username>' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied) If I give one of these user ...Show All

  Hi, I have a table which has around 50,000 rows.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Difficulties running Word Add-ins with VSTO CTP v3

  I have a Windows XP, Word 2007 PC.  On it I have installed Visual Studio.Net, WinFX CTP (Feb.), VSTO, followed by VSTO CTP. I actually had this setup working a while back (in May), and at the time created a few VSTO Word add-ins that ran perfectly in Word 2007. But now I cannot run any of the add-ins I created previously on this PC. When I open one of the .sln files, I get this VS error:  "The type initializer for Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Hosting.VCG threw an exception." The project does open, but it contains a warning: "Warning: The generated files could not be loaded and have been recreated." (And there was at one time a project warning regarding WindowsBase.dll but it went away.) I can build t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Float argument in function problem

  I write C code andhave the following code extract Addoperand(numvalue); A simple printf confirms that the float numvalue is correct in the calling function but then in the function int Addoperand( float numarg) { printf( "numarg=%f\n" ,numarg); I see that here numarg is incorrect. Why can't a simple functionargument work Similar examples with char argument works. In ansii C this really should work I think. I use %f both before and after the function call. The correct value is 2.0 which is printed just before the function call. Then in the function the value is stated (variables window) to be something like 10E-35 and is printed as 0.0. So clearly the value I use as argument is corrupted inside the calle ...Show All
