• Visual C# Binding Datalist to XML string from Object method

  Is this possible The below method might be missguided, it's not workign and the bind from vs.net is not rederding elements, I suspect because type strind: public static string Gogetit(string name) { string conn = "Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\\xx.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"; using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(conn)) { connection.Open(); SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from book2 for xml path", connection); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text; XmlReader xr = cmd.ExecuteXmlReader(); xr.MoveToContent(); return(xr.ReadOuterXml()); Also, Is there any good reason to try try and bind a control to a webservice W ...Show All

• Visual Studio ASP.NET Debugging with VS2005 and IE7

  Hi All I just want to join up with my fellow developers on the massive issue on ASP.NET debugging on IE7. Since I switched to Vista early september I mainly developed WindowsForms apps with Visual Studio 2005 and everything seems to work OK. Now I'm primary focused on ASP.NET and had the horrorfying experience: ASP.NET debugging doesn't work with IE7 and Vista !! I'm using Vista RC2 (build 5744) and haven't switched to the RTM yet. I thing this is a huge issue: Vista and IE7 is released at this time, IE7 is part of critical updates on at least Windows Server 2003 R2. The big Q is: When can we expect MS to deliver and update to this issue Note: The error exists even in a small 1 page + 1 button website. Best regards, ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Activation of Multiple Services in IIS

  I have an application (ported from a legacy Remoting app) which must host multiple services. All services use the same base address and bindings. One service - the one initially activated via self-hosting or IIS - is essentially a factory for the other services. It activates the additional services as needed based on client request, and passes activation arguments to the constructors of these classes (ie, it first constructs the service class, then passes the object instance in the ServiceHost constructor). Once started, the service will be used by any client having the same activation token. This all works fine when self-hosting and using tcp, http or named pipes, but fails miserably when hosted under IIS. The first problem has been t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to make new textbox input rows??

  Hello, I am a complete newb VS2005 pro user. My office bought me a copy of the VS2005 pro although my user level is VB2005 novice. I am attempting to create a timesheet database application for an office of 40 or so employees. In the windows form designer, I have a row of textboxes that allows the user to input a project number, the hours for the pay period (14 days) and a remark. How would I create an event (say a menu item) that would allow a user to add a blank row for a new project number and hours I know that there are probably a number of ways to skin this cat. For the sake of learning and OOP discussion, I was thinking that a data row would be a class that could be called up as a new instance. Another problem that ...Show All

• Visual Basic interfacing to map web sites

  I've written a vb app linked to a customer database that contains addresses. I'd like to add a button to a form that simply passes the address to a free map website that will open the map with IE. I don't want to use mappoint as that is a pay service, and the low usage of this app wouldn't justify it. Don't want to embed a map to a form either, simply want to pass the address information in a script if need be and have it open ie with the map. Does anyone have any information as to a direction I could go with this Everything I've found concerns using an api for website development but this is not what I'm looking for. Any advice is appreciated. If you need help with properly formatting the URL, manually en ...Show All

• Visual C# Modification for PDA devices...?

  Hi... I have written one application which is running fine on windows PC. Now i want to the application same application to run on windows PDA devices... Is it possible... What modification i have to do to run this application on PDA devices in my code or in my settings... Thanks in adavance... Vinay Instead of a windows application, you'll need to create a Smart Device application and choose which OS you are targetting at - Pocket PC 2003, Win CE 5.0, etc. Then basically you need to copy your code over to the new application and test. Compact Framework has limited functionalities comparing with the fullscale .Net framework, so some controls / components you use may not be available. VS ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista System.Speech.Recognition - my code works in XP but not in Vista RTM?

  Hi all, I have some code that I converted to use .NET 3.0's System.Speech library. The resulting assembly executes and recognizes my speech fine in Windows XP SP2. Running the same assembly in Vista RTM however doesn't work. The SpeechDetected event fires, but the Hypothesized, Recognised and Rejected events never fire. It isn't a microphone / soundcard issue because the "start listening", "start notepad", "mousegrid" commands all work fine in the Vista RTM install. Googling around only seems to turn up Beta2 samples and the Windows SDK samples only have TTS samples - no recognition ones. Below is a code sample for how I am initializing the SpeechRecognizer class. It is a command interface ie: I supply an array of strings th ...Show All
