• .NET Development How to deploy web services created using Visual studio 2005 in IIS server

  Hi, I have created web service using Visual studio 2005 and am trying to deploy it in IIS server. But my web service is created in local server only. How I can deploy it in IIS server how exactly do you mean deploy You should be able to just create a virtual directory in IIS and place all the files in there (.asmx/cs/bin folder) and hopefully that should be ok.   The other thing you could do is create a setup project, and use this project to create an installer to deploy your web service, this would be better and more professional ...Show All

• Architecture Pattern to choose

  Hi, I have worked for several years as a developer/analyst and now I am trying to improve my design knowledge... I hope my question is right for this forum... I have a very large XML file (in excess of 350Mb and can probably get even bigger) that contain some hierarchical data (nested elements). I also have the XML schema that specifies the allowed hierarchical relation between the various elements (well, a schema…). This imply, for performance reasons that I have to use a XML reader of some type. Writing a "prototype" I ended up with a class that contains the reader and has several HandleElementXXX function that work on the reader… Starting from a main loop (while (!reader.EOF) the reading/parsing is delegate ...Show All

• Gadgets ActiveX help

  I originally posted this on MicrosoftGadgets.com but I don't think I can reply there anymore. Basically, I want to create a gadget that uses my online web service, but I don't want the location (or password) visible in the source code for my Gadget.  What I really want to do is create an ActiveX component that will make the call and return the XML (or even better, parse the XML to HTML) to the gadget. Problem is, I have no idea where to start when it comes to ActiveX programming, can anyone help Andy   VB6 is the easiest method I've found to create a COM. It's available for download on MSDN. You could probably do it via Visual Studio as well, perhaps someone could tell you how to do it via that. With VB6, a ...Show All

• .NET Development serialPort questions

  I am using Visual C++. I have developed an application to read from the serial port and write to the serial port. I thought that was the hard pard done!!! However I seem to be experiencing difficulty in reading the data. Please allow me to explain, I am sending out ascii characters, which is fine because the harware device that I am interfacing to is expecting them. The problem is that what it sends back is a byte of binary data. And I have to do a bit test upon each of the data bits within the byte. For example: BYTE BACK <D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0> If d8 is high (1) then case A. If d8 is low (0) then case B. If d7 is high (1) then case C. etc etc I am using the following code: delegate void txtBxDele ...Show All

• Windows Forms login form DialogResult help

  Hi, all! On this winform app, I have two forms, frmMain and frmLogin. FrmMain is the startup. Currently, it works when login credentials are entered correctly. If they are incorrect, the app shuts itself down. I want to make the frmLogin stay up for three re-tries, then shut down if unsuccessful. But given the code I have, I had a hard time to make the change.

• Windows Forms Form position with drag/drop

  I'm having two issues with drag and drop in .NET forms. 1. I have an application where you open an edit form from the main form. The edit form is on top. I want to drag a file from explorer onto the edit form. When I click on Explorer, my edit form goes behind the main form. I have to go back to the app, bring the edit form to the front again, then click Explorer to drag the file. 2. Once I drag the file over to the edit form, I popup yet another edit form for the user to fill in data about the document. As soon as the new edit form comes up, I want to set the cursor there so the user can fill it out. However, when I drag and drop the file, the focus remains in Explorer, instead of my edit form. I've tried a bunch of things, but noth ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Returning an array of custom data types, array always empty

  Ok, I'm really about to lose it with this problem. It's such a simple concept but some how I can't get it to work. I have a service that returns a List(of somecustomobject) and I can see that the list does have items in the service but when it actually returns to the client, there are 0 elements! I created a simple service/client to see if I could figure out the problem. It has to be something simple! Here's my test service code... <ServiceContract()> Public Interface IService1 <OperationContract()> Function MyOperation6() As List(Of ComplexString) End Interface Public Class Service1 Implements IService1 Public Function myoperation6() As List(Of ComplexString) Implements IService1.MyOperation6 Dim x As New List(Of ComplexS ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Cube texture mapping

  Here i would like to ask about the texture coordinate for the cube mapping. I know that cube mapping did not use the normal coordinate that we use for normal texture coordinate. But i'm getting problem in understanding how the cube texture coordinate works. Let me put example here. Below is the vertex and fvf declaration: struct CUSTOMVERTEX {FLOAT X, Y, Z, RHW; DWORD COLOR; FLOAT V, W, U;}; #define CUSTOMFVF (D3DFVF_XYZRHW | D3DFVF_DIFFUSE | D3DFVF_TEX1 | D3DFVF_TEXCOORDSIZE3(0)) And this is my vertex array: CUSTOMVERTEX t_vert[] = { { 120.0f, 50.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR_ARGB(255,255, 255, 255), 0,0, 1, }, { 520.0f, 50.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR_ARGB(255,255, 255, 255), 1,0, 1, }, { 520.0f, 400.0f, 0.5f, 1.0f, D3DCOLOR ...Show All
