• .NET Development Web Service Reference not correct for WCF service

  I have a WCF service that has an operation signature that returns a boolean and has a complex type as the ONLY input parameter. public bool PublishRequest(PublishMetaData request) When I add a reference to this via Add Web Reference in a web application, the resulting operation has a different signature, it now returns void, and has three parameters, one of which is the complex type as before, but the other two are being set as "out" booleans one name <MethodName>Result and the other <MethodName>ResultSpecified. public void PublishRequest(PublishMetaData request, out bool PublishRequestResult, out bool PublishRequestResultSpecified) Is there any reason why it should do this and not just hav ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions HOw to refill a database?

  I have this code in my vb.net program. Me.TickersTableAdapter.Fill(Me.DataSet1.Tickers) It fills the data from the external file fine. However, I'd like to be able to refill the data after it has been changed by an external program. Calling the line a second time doesn't work because I get "datareader already active on this command" error. How can I refill the data from the external file tia hi, as what ahmad said to retrieve data from database to dataset you use adapter.fill(), to save the changes back to the database from a dataset you use adapter.update(), so to refill your dataset you have to take 2 steps , 1) to clear it from data, 2) to fill it again from your database hope this helps ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem loading a Blender exported .X file

  I've been searching these forums and on Google looking for a solution to my problem but have yet to find an answer. I have created a simple model in Blender and now I want to load it into XNA. From within Blender I use the DirectX exporter which creates a .X text file (not binary). I then add that to my XNA project (essentially just following the first 3D tutorial in the XNA help). However, upon trying to compile and run the program I get the error message "Could not read the X file. The file is corrupt or invalid. Error code: D3DXFERR_BADFILETYPE". I have tried a number of different combinations with the exporting settings in Blender, but I always get the same result. I found a tutorial on the web that had a .X file for download ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to get color scheme name?

  I'm looking for Windows API function to get the color scheme name on Vista. GetCurrentThemeName() function is not good because the filename returned is the same for both Windows Aero and Windows Vista Basic. But I need something to know if the color scheme is Aero or Vista Basic because I'm doing different things based on the color scheme. Thanks! There's only one color scheme for both Windows Aero and Windows Vista Basic, so GetCurrentThemeName() is the valid function to use. To check whether composition is enabled, use DwmIsCompositionEnabled() . To query the current glass color, use DwmGetColorizationColor() . ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Win32App Wizard can be edited--is this legal?

  When I run my VC++ Express 2005 Create Project wizard and choose to create a win32 console application, it has four options in the Win 32 Application Wizard: Windows application, Console application, DLL, and Static library. Two of these are normally disabled: windows application and DLL. Something I found online said that you can change the html wizard file and comment out the lines that disable these options--I tried it and it works, but I changed it back because the lines to comment out are within an if statement that checks to see if it is the Express version, and if so, then it disables those two options. Is changing the wizard to enable the windows application and DLL options legal If not, then why is it so easy to do so Also, if i ...Show All
