• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) web services

  Hello, am I correct to understand that there is no .NET framework integration yet I am wondering what support for calling web services there will be in v1 release. The usage I am thinking for WPF/E is to have XAML+C# as a complete front-end, using no javascript, and talking to backend web services. Does this sound like a reasonable usage that will be well-supported and is a goal for the WPF/E initiative To me it does not look like the December CTP supports this. Thanks, Brad Williams Hi Brad: Depending on what you want to do, you can actually come quite close to this with the current CTP release. To achieve this you would build a Web Forms application (aspx) that references your back end Web servi ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to find version of file programatically in .Net 2005?

  Hi, I wanted to know how I can find the version of a file programatically using C# .Net2005. I am using FileInfo[ ] info = Directory.GetFiles() to get all the files in the directory.But I am not able to get the version attribute of the file. Any help is highly appreciated Regards, ~nhd No, you don't need unsafe code in extracting version information of executable files. There is a class called FileVersionInfo in System.Diagnostics namespace, and it's accessible to your program. Here's an example: FileVersionInfo notepadInfo = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo("%systemroot%\\notepad.exe"); From the call above, the notepadInfo object will be filled with version inf ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem Rolling back a Distributed Transaction

  Hi, I was wondering if any of you guys have encountered the following problem using system.transactions object. I have two databases running Oracle 8.1.4.7.0 and have Oracle 9i client. When i run distributed transaction on these two databases and raise an exception to see if the transaction is able to rollback, the transaction rollsback on one database and does not rollback on the other. There are also some more problem on the Database on which the transaction does not rollback : If i try to delete data and rollback, the Index / Primary key gets deleted BUT the data does not get deleted. i.e. you cannot query the data by using the Primary Key but when you select all the records, you will be able to see the data.

• Windows Forms Reproducing Adware Behaviour

  With C# and a html page displayed in a webbrowser control I want to reproduce the functionality of adware… Obviously I am not asking for help to write adware! I want that behaviour. I have a list of words with definitions. If the html page contains that word I want to highlight it, subtly a dotted blue underline would be ideal and display the definition in a tooltip, if they hover on the word. What mechanism do the adware bots use They seem to be very efficient and fast I may not or may not have control over the content of the html so would prefer an approach not relying on formatting of the html content. Any approaches or suggestions would be appreciated. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Dealing with tiny C drive

• Audio and Video Development XPath Node Set Functions

  Does any know if node set functions, such as count or position, are vaild to use in the HDi world I've been trying, but I keep having problems getting a valued returned. Below is the line that is giving me the issue. It may not be 100% correct because I am writing this from home without the exact code in front of me. I believe it's close enough to get the idea across though. var position = this.savedbookmarks.evaluteXPath(position( //bookmark[@time ="+current+")],this.savedbookmarks.documentElement); From what I can remember, the evaluteXPath call returns a node list. In this case, it's returning a node list with a length of zero. Is there maybe a different way I should be going about this ...Show All
