• .NET Development Async page and a class library

  Hello. I have a class library that consumes a web service. It does some processing both and before after calling the web service method. One customer is requesting that I expose the async methods provided by the web service proxy so that they could take advantage of the new "Async=true" ASP.NET feature. However, I can't just expose them as they would then circumvent for the pre- and post-request processing that my class library has to do. My initial thought was to create my own async methods that would simply wrap the proxy's. Then, I thought about shielding the customer from all that and instead, calling the proxy's async methods myself in the single method that they'd call. That is, to them, my method still blocks. But i ...Show All

  Hi I am in the process of trying to extend the check-in policies for our Team Foundation Server.

• Visual C++ Linking an app in debug mode (with /MDd) against static lib built in release mode (with /MD)

  I remember this sort of mixing used to work fine prior to VS2005. But now it doesn't seem to. This suggests that one has to have a debug and a release versions of each library to be able to compile a debug and a release version of the application. The following short example results in an access violation exception: Compile A.* into a.lib in release mode with /MD (it doesn't matter if compiled with or without optimization): File A.h: #include <vector> class A { public : std::vector< double > v; A( int x) {} ~A(); }; File A.cpp: #include "A.h" A::~A() { } Compile app.cpp in debug mode with /MDd: File app.cpp: #include "A.h" void main() { A a(4); } The ex ...Show All

• SQL Server join several fields to create new field

  What would be the recommendation/approach in creating a seperate field in which joins several differate fields together. I have a table with field name a, b, and c. I want the information in those fields to be populated in a seperate field, d. So instead of: a 122 b joe c st I would have: d 122 joe st Thanks! This works ... sort of. If there are any null fields, it returns nothing. So is there a way around that. Something can be built into the view that handles: if null then '' otherwise d + ' ' ...Show All

• Visual Studio Printing without the ReportViewer

  In a Win Forms app, is it possible to print a report without using the ReportViewer control I want to provide a print button on a Form (like Outlook does) and then use an embedded Report to print the data so I don't really need the ReportViewer. I would want to display the PrinterDialog though and use the settings from here to control the printed Report. Is this possible too Regards Graham I figured out the print quality issue.
