• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) hosting WCF in IIS

  Hi, I have a WCF service which works fine when i run it locally (using http://localhost :...) When i try using it from the webserver we have (IIS 6.0) I get this: "Unrecognized configuration section system.serviceModel." Does this mean i have to get my webserver admin to install .net 3.0 on the machine (he's not too keen on the idea..) Can anyone tell me what exactly are the steps needed to get this up and running Thanks in advance ...Show All

• SQL Server Decimal places in Node_Description??

  There's been several good posts on using the node description of a model as the end user description for a specific cluster. My model uses a number of continuous input columns defined as currency from a fact table in the source cube. After processing, the node description has elements that look like this: -0.5799759795 <=Interest Expense <=0.8397462488 , Since the source data is currency, this makes the node description look a little strange. The data type in the model is set as double. The precision implied by the description is not what I want the model to consider. In the case above, the difference between the numbers listed is not significant. It would be great to have a better node desciption that do ...Show All

• Visual Basic multiple textbox counter

  i have a program with about 30 textboxes on it for number inputs. I need to make a label that on a tab or mouse click it will show the total number amount from each text box. for instances tb1 -- 10 tb2 -- 3 tb 3 -- 5 label = 18 Thanks Michael Hi, Define what tb1--10, tb2--3 and tb3--5 are please.

• Windows Forms CollectionEditor questions Names in left pane

  Hello all, CustomItem is a class which inherits Component. I then created a strongly typed CustomItemCollection which inherits CollectionBase. Next, I wrote a custom editor which inherits from CollectionEditor. It works well except that I can't figure out how to access the (Name) property in the PropertyGrid. I would like to change the names in the left pane away from Class0, Class1, Class2, etc. based on one of the properties in my CustomItem class. Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions. Hey joey, The CollectionEditor is the form that pops up when you have a collection property. It is similar to the standard Items... editor except on the right side it displays a property grid and ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Why using "javascript:functionName"?

  Hi, I would like to get an answer why the JavaScript event handlers have to be written not very JavaScript like. element.loaded = functionName"; instead of element.loaded = functionName; Will there be any other protocol available than JavaScript Michael For our Mix release we are eliminating the need to do " in XAML and we are also enabling normal JavaScript event handling semantics. Adding an event in JavaScript will look like the following: canvas.addEventListener("MouseLeftButtonDown", handler); rather than: canvas.addEventListener("MouseLeftButtonDown", handler"); Joe ...Show All

• Windows Forms adding single records to a gridview

  I have a cbolist the user will select a name hit enter then a query runs to get that name details and enters it to a grid view, the user clicks another name and its details are added. How do i do this. i have only used the adapter.fill(table) gridview1.datasource = table but only one record is showing the last one clicked. well its not going to work exactly like that. everytime you fill a dataset it will I believe clear out the existing entries and fill it with new data and this is what you are binding to the datagrid. instead you may wish to use a SqlDataReader, read the data and add it into a listbox perhaps, or even create a datatable locally and add values to that and bind it to the dat ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 3.01 and Outlook 2003 (Exchange)

  Somehow I can't select folders from Outlook 2003 to index. The only visible folder is 'public folders' but greyed out because I don't run Outlook in cached mode. WDS 2.66 did show the open inboxes in Outlook and indexed them nicely, in WDS 3.01 they are gone and I can't get them to show. See my previous post, I've installed the .adm file and can now index my own inbox. The other 4 mailboxes that I have open do not appear in the list however. These are also Exchange boxes that I have opened. ...Show All

• Visual C# Printing PDF from specific printer tray problem

  Dear all, For a C# project I would like to be able to print PDF documents from specific printer trays. Up to now I did succeed in doing half the work. 1. I can print PDF documents by doing a DllImport of winspool.drv and send the raw bytes to the network printer. By doing so, the PS/PDF capable printer understands the PDF bytes and prints the PDF flawlessly albeit using the default printer tray. I thought of making copies of the printername with different default trays and use the different names in my application, to no avail... 2. I found a way of printing with different printer trays (using WMI or even better C# PrintDocument). This works perfectly apart from that it is only capable of printing Strings (plain text that is). When I open ...Show All

• Visual Studio SP1 for ReportViewer Redistributable?

  Hi Everyone. Now that VS.2005 SP1 is out and seems to include an updated ReportViewer control, is there an update to the ReportViewer Redistributable with those same fixes Our product installs this redistributable silently, and we render reports locally (i.e. RDLC), so installing the full Visual Studio service pack would not help us. Thanks for your help! Erik Can you unistall the older ReportViewer I had a computer with the old ReportViewer installed that was still having issues. I unistalled the old version (it was listed in Add/Remove Programs) and dropped the .dlls mentioned above in the .exe's folder and it worked fine. Might be a bit of a hassle, but probably better than having the problems ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Reading Textfiles with latest lines only

  Hi Everyone, Can I ask if somebody knows how to read only updated lines in a text file I had a text based log file and I want to read from time to time those updated lines only. Everytime I use "reader.readline, and .readtoend" it always starts from the beginning hence there is always a huge overlap of data in my database. Thanks in advance....

• Visual C# Sending SOAP Requests in C# Client

  Hi, I have a question about how to generate/send SOAP requests from a simple C# command line client. First of all, is there a class/method that will generate the SOAP envelope instead of having it manually created as an XML Second, how do you send the SOAP request with the HttpWebRequest class, and how do you obtain the response back from the server I am not looking at doing anything too complicated, just writing a simple SOAP request/response console client. The server is assumed to already have the appropriate services available to handle the SOAP requests. Please provide some sample code, or directions on where I should look, as I am new to the .NET/C# development community. Thanks. check this link. ...Show All
