• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SOAP header Action was not understood

  I have a WCF service available with metadata publishing. I have .NET 2.0 and 1.1 applications that need to use it using the old style Add Web Reference dialog. The reference can be successfully added, but each time I try to call the service I receive a fault, "SOAP header Action was not understood." What is required to get WCF 3.0 services to work with non-WCF applications Does your WCF service use BasicHttpBinding Have you checked out this sample http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms751433.aspx It shows an ASMX client talking to a WCF service. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Installation with Visual C # 2005

  Hello all I tried to install the XNA Express but it asked me to have Visual C # 2005 Express. The problem is that I have the Visual Studio .NET 2005 installed in my PC. Is there a problem with that how i can Install it to Try It VernonH - MSFT wrote: Battlekiller wrote: you will have to remove the C# part of visual study, then you can install the visual C# express edition, and then you can install XNA. This is what i had to do. You should not have to uninstall the C# portion from your existing Visual Studio 2005 install. C# Express and Visual Studio 2005 will live side-by-side with each other. I was not able to do this, i tried installing it and then running the XNA ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX Performance Issue with TOPCOUNT Using Calculated/Derived by Time Specific Members

  I am new at The MDX game and need some help. I have the following MDX that executes a wee bit to slow when I specify one of the following members (See MDX below) [Measures].[Prio Shp Unt], [Measures].[Unit Variance], [Measures].[Prio Cst Ttl], [Measures].[Prio Awp Ttl], [Measures].[BM Variance] in the TOPCOUNT statement. I have arrived at the conclusion that the problem is because I speicfy a period at the member selection that is different to the period on my where clause. Now the problem is that both the periods are user driven and can be anything from current back for the last three years. In other words the users have the option to specify which two periods they want to compare. Also the TOPCOUNT measure is user driven and can be ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Sprite Flicker Bug?

  Hi, I currently have my XNA project, and each frame in Draw() it does 1 thing - it renders a simple plain gray texture using a sprite batch. Now the problem is whenever I either "move" the sprite using code (incrementing the destination x, y in each Update()), I am able to observe a clearly noticable flicker effect. Perhaps it's more like a "trail" effect, where you can kind of see where the control was a few 100s of milliseconds ago. I have the standard setup, with framerate fixed at 67, and VSync enabled (though I've tried changing the properties of both, and that doesn't help). The code is in fact: _spriteBatch.Begin(SpriteBlendMode.AlphaBlend, SpriteSortMode.Immediate, SaveStateMode.None) ... _spriteB ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Documenting Contracts

  I wonder how is the best way to describe a WCF DataContract so that the rest of the world can easily understand it. If i run Svcutil and generate an XSD then i have a documentation of the data structure of my contract. But it’s very cryptic because it doesn’t explain the purpose or what every datamember stands for. I want to add anotations to my XSD schema so i can generate a good looking documentation of my contract. But the problem is when i change my contract then i have to regenerate my XSD document and my previous anotation disappears. Of course i can build a program that merge two versions of my XSD. But i figure that someone have a plan for this. For example, It would be great if svcutil could copy remarks from the code into the ...Show All

• Visual Basic diplaying bitmap from access database

  I've seen this question posted a few times but no good results. I'm simply loading a dataset from access that happens to have a bitmap stored in a field. I have a listview with a list of CD's by Album/Artist, when I click on one of the CD's I want detailed info to populate below, including a pic box with the stored bitmap. Everything works fine except the pic box. Here's the code I have: Dim bytPic() As Byte objDataSet = New DataSet objData.SQL = "usp_SelectRecording" objData.InitializeCommand() objData.AddParameter( "@RecordingID" , OleDb.OleDbType.Integer, 4, lvwRecordings.SelectedItems.Item(0).Tag) objData.FillDataSet(objDataSet, "Recording" ) bytPic = CType (objDataSet.Tabl ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server vs Oracle

  Oracle is typically used for the 'HUGE' databases. SQL Server has had limitations with these same databases running into processing limitations. Can someone give me a realistic comparison and give me some benchmark info Or point to where I could find that info. ex. terabyte size in both programs, where does one leave off (size) and the other begin. thx, Kat Hi Michael, I believe the databases that I am referring to are in excess of 50 TBs... going into the 'Petabyte' range at a particular company. I'm not sure petabyte is the next size but it is the size above TB. Have you heard of any of those with SQL Server ...Show All

• .NET Development COM object handling

  Hi,I am neew to .Net and want to know that if we use any object that reprsent a COM class hen after using it should we explicitly distroy it or .Net framework does it automatically.If .Net does not do that than what method or statments should i use to destroy. The CLR will do it automatically. But just like any managed object, you don't know exactly when the garbage collector will clean it up.

• Visual Basic how to Convert encoding from windows 1256 to asmo 708

  Dear Gents how i can convert form windows 1256 to asmo 708 using vb 2005 thanks and best regards ahmed alzikan   Hi, If this is with regard web pages i.e. HTML etc then see this article.>> http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/charsets/charset4.asp  I guess you could have two adjacent windows open as two separate browsers windows, each having it's own character set. Otherwise you would need to put a conversion table between the characters in your code somehow. As I don't know Arabic then the character at each position e.g CHR(65) might not directly translate both ways. I'm not sure but i hope ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Localization of images stored in Resources and only referenced from XAML

  In this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=438758&SiteID=1 a Microsoft representative states: "Images are not commonly localizable resources therefore by default, they will be left in the main assembly after resource assembly compilation" which doesn't match my experience. Yes, images should not have to be translated, but sometimes you have to. And there seems to be no way of accessing them in the resulting assembly Here is an example of what I mean: < ResourceDictionary xmlns = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation " xmlns:x = " http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml " > <!-- back arrow from detail picture in widget -->< ...Show All
