• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) bindingName and bindingNamespace in configuration file

  There is a way to specify the binding name and binding namespace in the end point of a service through configuration. These two attributes affect the way WCF generates the wsdl:binding names. What I noticed is that if you have a service with multiple end points (in my case I have a service with multiple contracts, each with one operation) and if I explicitely specified bindingName and bindingNamespace in each of the endpoints, the last set of binding name and namespace are winning. For example, if my configuration file is authored as below: <system.serviceModel> <service name="WCFFooService.MyCustomerService"> <endpoint binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WCFFooService.ICustomer" bindingNamespace="urn:MyCompany.Custom ...Show All

• SQL Server discarding rows - best practice?

  I have a need to filter out certain rows from my data stream. I cannot apply the filter against the source data using my DataReader component, due to some constraints in the source system. Therefore, I must filter the data out after it enters my datastream (trust me on this part). I have created a data flow that uses the Conditional Split transformation to do this. I created one condition that matches the rows I want to discard. I then connected the Default output stream to my target table. I have simply left the "discard" output disconnected. This appear to do what I want. My question is: is it OK to leave outputs disconnected in this fashion It isn't really apparent when viewing the package that the conditional split is ...Show All

• Visual Basic Missing Default Property

  First I must apologize - I am new to VB5. I come from a VB6 background and thrown into a VB2005 project and I'm looking for something so simple...the default property. I found where you set the Cancel Button option, but I can't find the default property as it was available in VB6. I've even tried to set it in code, but that is unavailable either. Am I missing something here Did they take that away from me Any help is appreciated. Bob http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=845268&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Trick to make WPF/E plugin work in Windows 2000

  As you may already know, officialy WPF/E plugin doesn't work in Windows 2000. As I still have Windows 2000 SP4, and I will not change the OS (it has everything I need, I can do everything I want), I found a way, how to make it work. There is no reason why the plugin shouldn't work in Win 2000. But the msi installer doesn't let me install it. So, I manualy extracted the files from msi (by some free utility) and run "regsvr32 agctrl.dll". But I got an error "the specified procudure could not be found". After some debugging I found the reason is in the function "_resetstkoflw", which doesn't exist on my platform (I don't remember the name of the standard DLL in which this function should be located). I suppose &q ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Get taskbar hover image through code?

  Hello, is it possible to get the image of a specific window. By the image, I mean the image you see when you hover your mouse over the window's taskbar button. This is obviously not just a screenshot but an actual copy of the window contents. Is there any way to get this through code Specifially, i'd like to be able to put the images of open windows in a sidebar gadget, but just knowing how to get that image would be useful for now. Thanks for any help! :) You need to use the Desktop Window Manager API. I wrote a detailed article on this topic here: http://weblogs.asp.net/kennykerr/archive/2006/08/10/Windows-Vista-for-Developers-_1320_-Part-3-_1320_-The-Desktop-Window-Manager.aspx Cheers, Kenny K ...Show All

• .NET Development instantiating remote object in new thread

  Hello, i was wondering if it's possible to instantiate remote objects on the server side, in a new thread. i have a client which has access to interface of a remote object class, instantiates the class on the server side. but i need the server to instantiate the object in a seperate thread. i guess i need some advice on multithreading of remote objects as well. any help/suggestion would be greatly appreciated. .Net Remoting always dispatches calls in thread pool threads. You will need handle this in your application by creating a new thread and marshalling all calls to the relevant thread. I would suggest that you marshal calls asynchronously, which is to say without waiting immediately for a result. Be aw ...Show All

• SQL Server regular expressions in transact sql

  hi guys, i need some help tp write code in order to search the string ( regular expressions) in t- sql. e.g. when a user enters [A-Z] it means any alphabet from 'A' to 'Z'... similarly [0-9] means any digit. the problem is: when user enters [0-6] and the string received contains digit 5 it should return true but if it contains 7 it should return false. so how do i read the [A-Z] as a range of characters in t-sql   hi, In sql server it is not exactly regular expression, it is called wild card pattern. in other words it is simplified reqular expression, as of now SQL Server Like operator only work with following operators % - Zero or any number of chars _ - Single Char [] - Single Char in given ...Show All

• .NET Development Why does the String CompareTo method return inconsistent results?

  Does this make sense Why "*".CompareTo("A") -1 "*A".CompareTo("A") -1 //ok. compares as less than, both times. "_".CompareTo("A") -1 "_A".CompareTo("A") -1 //ok. same results... "-".CompareTo("A") -1 "-A".CompareTo("A") 1 //what ! inconsistent results... why This is causing problems in our application, because the sorting on the DataGridView is unpredictable, and the users of the application are complaining.
