• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Deploying / Host a WCF Service in the real world

  Hello, I'm finally getting around to learning about WCF... Can anyone point me to an article which describes deploying and hosting a WCF service exposed to the outside world I'm not talking about the plethora of localhost examples; something more along the lines of the real world. For example, I know you can host a .svc in IIS as usual. But how would you exposed your service to the outside world if you have it hosted by a Windows Service or console app Do you still need IIS Also, if you support several different bindings do you have to expose them in different ways (other than the config file stuff) I'm running Windows Server 2003 x64 and IIS6 for the server. It also hosts other ASMX web services. I may eventually upgrade (or add a new ...Show All

• .NET Development The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

  Hey all This is annoying, I want to perform a copy or move or read operation on a file but the file is already open in word or notepad, whatever. No when I try for example to rename the file that is open in word the system tells me that I can't do it since word holds it. How can I do the same in C#, meaning checking if the file is open and alert which application holds it. Itzik When I tried your code, it does determine if the file is locked, but in doing so, it locks the file. I modified your code slightly to fix this. Public Function FileIsLocked( ByVal strFullFileName As String ) As Boolean Dim blnReturn As Boolean = False Dim fs As System.IO.FileStream Tr ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Get return value from workflow

  I've a winform application which would interact with a workflow runtime to perform some approval tasks. When a user reviews the approval request, he can select either approve or reject on the winform application, it will submit to the workflow runtime to process, his action will be validated by the rules defined in workflow and it will return a result of his action (success or fail). I want to know how can I get the result from workflow when the workflow instance is completed. And how can I wait for result from workflow runtime after user submitted the action, because workflow is executed asynchronously with the winform application. Thank you very much! As previously mentioned use the WorkflowCompleted ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Addin Logging

  Hi, I want to add logging to my addin file. we are using standard loggers, so that you can configure them from the application.exe.config file. Of course we are running inside visual studio, and we don't want the users to have to deal with the devenv.exe.config file. Is there another way to do it Is there a config file for the addin dll something like myaddin.dll.config Is there a way to add logging level to the .addin file thanks. Hi Noa, Carlos is correct. Your addin, could make use of the devenv.exe.config, but we don't really recommend that. The only logging facility currently built into the shell is the IVsActivityLog interface. This is an interface defined in the Visual Studio ...Show All

  Hi Which is the property which indicates that a paragraph contains a bulleted list or a numbering list in a richtextbox Thanks a lot You got it right, almost. Your code above will work in most common cases when your content has only Paragraphs within ListItems. But in theory, a ListItem can have any Block children. e.g. BlockUIContainer/a nested List/Section etc. e.g. consider following content. <FlowDocument> <List> <ListItem> <Section> <Paragraph><Run>aa</Run></Paragraph> <Paragraph><Run>bb</Run></Paragraph> </Section> <Section> <Paragraph><Run>cc</Run></Paragraph ...Show All
