• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ and webservices

  Hello Today I have scenario where my web application don't have access to the sql db, but instead it sends its sql query as a string to a webservice which have access to the sql db. The webserivce then performs then sql query and return the result as xml. So will LINQ be able to handle cases like this Since i cant drag and drop the tables from the db, maybe there is some way it could instead ask the webservice that then returns all tables and there rows, and that way I would be able to use the LINQ syntax, which i really love. Best Regards Mads Baed upon what has been said I am assuming that I could not simply hook into DLINQ's DB calls and re-direct the SQL via a web service (IE I don't want it to se ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Mobile 5 SDK for Pocket PC install hangs

  Tried for hours to get Mobile 5 SDK for Pocket PC to install. The original problem was that my McAffe was stopping various scripts from executing. The install hung after McAffe stopped the scripts. Then, after I turned off the McAffe script analyzer, the SDK tried to rollback and attempt another install, but those installs eventually hung. By "hung" I mean the install wasn't using disk or CPU, there was nothing after the word "status" above the "progress indicator", and the "progress indicator" didn't progress. The "remove" option also hangs. Help Cool! I created a Device Application project and it drew a device in the Forms Designer window. I guess everybo ...Show All

• Visual C++ COM/ATL App Method Return/Pass defined types

  Alright, I am not by any means an expert C++ programmer, so please bare with me. I have created a com object that will be implemented within C#, the reason for this com object is to create a persistent object of another library. My situation is this. I have the complete com object created, but would like to add additional supporting features, i.e.: An object that is defined within the C++ com object, such as a struct containing an int, a wchar_t*, and a boolean value. I would like to be able to utilize the object type from within C# to store the object rather than have a new object type in C#. I have seen this done in many cases, but just have no clue where to find such direction for supporting this. I would also like the come objec ...Show All

• Visual Studio Page Number -- Too simple, but I can't figure it out

  How do I put page numbers on a report. I get this error: The Value expression for the textbox ‘textbox1’ refers to the global variable PageNumber or TotalPages. These global variables can be used only in the page header and page footer.

• Visual Studio Team System Is it possible to set recursion to false?

  Currently when automation script is run, an item is duplicated and incremented in subsequent runs. Is it possible to set recursion to false Thanks Test consultant Thanks for the reply.

However on first run it created 2 instances of the same item in the ‘virtual request’. On second run, there were 3 instances. Test Consultant ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting the calling assembly name in the client library

  A client library ( ClientLib.dll) class has a method to derive the calling assembly name as string applicationName = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name; If the above library is referred in Win app or other library, the applicationName is set to calling (entry) assembly name. But when above client library is referred in the webservice assembly (WsAssembly.dll), the entry assembly name is null but the executing assembly name is client library name(ClientLib), ideally I want the applicationName set to WsAssembly. Any ideas on deriving the calling or entry assembly name both for web applications and windows application is appreciated.

I know one stored procedure is available at MSDN to achieve this task.
