• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Sending/Uploading a stream with its name

  I want to send a picture stream with its name. But it seems that WCF only accepts one parameter which must be stream. Is there any way to send its name as well One way is by wrapping the proxy and adding an outgoing message header on the client. On the server, strip it off from the OperationContext. There is some code snippet here and should also be in the WCF documentation. http://weblogs.asp.net/avnerk/archive/2006/04/25/How-do-I-add-a-custom-header-to-every-WCF-message_3F00_.aspx ...Show All

• SQL Server Connecting to sql from Delphi 5

  I try to connect (locally) to SQLServer Express from Delphi5. On my developer computer, which has Windows XP, SQLServer 2000, VisualStudio2005 (and with that, SQLExpress 2005), it is no problem. However, when I transfer my program and the database to other computers with Windows 2000/WindowsServer2003 and a more recent standalone-version of SQLExpress, I get error messages like: 'Db-Library error 10004: No connection possible: SQL Server not available or not existing' It does not matter which protocols I activate at the Server or whether the Server Browser service is running or not. Does anybody have an idea how this might be fixed Or whether it is a problem of the operating system Yes, all ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Passing WindowsIdentity between services for use with Azman

  Hi all, The following scenario: a client connects to a service passing its WindowsIdentity (WI), e.g. domain\user, using wsHttpBinding. The service uses the WI for authorizing using Azman. The service depends on another service (which could also be called by other clients in different scenario's). The second service also has to authorize the WI of the initial client (domain\user). client --> service 1 --> service 2 | | AzMan AzMan Default, wsHttpBinding passes the WI of the 'intermediairy' service (the first service called, e.g. domain\network service) to the second service. This way the second service authorizes the service (domain\network service) and not the initial caller (domain\user). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions WebBrowser non event

  I have a problem with WebBrowser when I navigate to a URL where the document doesn't complete under certain circumstances. First, the code... Dim wb As New WebBrowser wb.Navigate(URL) Do Until wb.ReadyState = WebBrowserReadyState.Complete MsgBox(wb.ReadyState.ToString) Loop MsgBox( "Finished" ) It never exits the Do Until loop unless I have the msgbox(wb.readystate.tostring) line in there. This seems to allow the application to do events. I get the same problem using the document completed event (it never fires unless I have the MsgBox line in the loop). I am using this code within a class and I can get it to work if I put it within a form class because I can put My.Application.Doevents in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Restricting size of new window

  Hello, I am adding a small catalogue to my website (no online purchasing). When an image is clicked, I want to launch a new window with a larger copy of the same image displayed. I assume the simpliest way to do this would be to set a hyperlink on the original image to launch the next page, where I have the larger image stored. My question is, how can I restrict the size of the new window, so it opens at, say, a third of the main window. Many thanks Karen You may want to try using the forums at asp.net for asp related questions forums.asp.net With VB Express you cannot create asp.net applications so this question is definately off topic for this forum. ...Show All
