• Commerce Server Can I rename a Commerce Server Site?

  The name of the site I'm building has changed, and so I need to rename the site in the Commerce Server Manager. How can I accomplish this. i'm aware I'll need to change all references in the web.config for the site, but in particular, how can I change the name of the site in the CSM Thanks, Dave Hi Dave, If you download the site configuration tools from my blog post you'll have a proper API-based method for setting those properties: ECHO Creating the %SiteName% application resource SiteConfig.exe %SiteName% %SiteName% /Create:MSCS_Address SiteConfig.exe %SiteName% %SiteName% /Update:s_ProgidPUP="Commerce.AddressPuP" SiteConfig.exe %SiteName% %SiteName% /Update:s_NumberOfServers="1" SiteConfig.ex ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Custom rule. Add a new problem within the AfterAnalysis() method.

  Hello, I,m writing a custom rule, where a have to collect some information from different assemblies befor being able to check if there is an error or not. (To collect the information the Check(AssemblyNode) method will be called for each assembly node). I wont do the error analysis in the AfterAnalysis() function. The one problem is, that if I add a new Problem to the ProblemCollection within the AfterAnalysis() method, this problem will not be showed in the FxCop output pane. Is there a way to make it work, or is the Check() method the only place where new Problems can be added Thank You. Best regards, Anton Papst Only the Check overloads allow you to return problems.

• .NET Development line ending problem

  Hi, I get data from an oracle database (8i) by filling a dataset. <ds.fill>. When I check the data in Oracle, the lines ends with "0D 0A"(CR/LF). When I check the data received in the dataset, the lines ends with "0D" (CR). This might be the cause of a problem I'am having right now. Does anybody know about why it appens and what can I do to keep "0D 0A" Thanks, Sylvain What is the data type of the column in Oracle Which .NET data provider are you using (System.Data.OracleClient, Oracle's ODP.NET, etc) If you have a simple app where this reproduces, it would help to try both providers so you try to isolate if it's a provider problem, or if it's lower than that, like in the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Cannot Debug in VS2005

  I cannot launch the debugger in VS2005. I have a solution with numerous projects (1 C#, the rest VB). Whenever I run the solution and hit a break point, I get a message saying that Visual Studio has encountered an internal error. I have sent multiple error reports to Microsoft about this. This also happens when I just try and single step into the solution. Everything in the solutions builds fine and runs fine, until I try and use the debugger. I am running Windows XP (SP2) with a dual-core processor. I read some posts online that recommend setting up your startpage and I did that. I also set the project to run on x86 CPU and I am still having the same issue. Another developer in my environment can debug the exact same solution and the prim ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) IParameterInspector and Faults

  I've been playing a bit with IParameterInspector implementations in WCF, and I've found them very useful and very cool. That said, one thing that's been bothering me a bit and that I find limiting is that there's no way to know if the operation dispatched on the server side throws an exception/returns a fault, because in such a case the AfterCall() method is never called. While this makes some sense, it makes certain things you might want to do on an IParameterInspector implementation impossible to do, because you can't be sure that AfterCall() will be called. Mostly, this makes things that require "reasonable" assurance [1] that the AfterCall() method gets called impossible. An example of those might be tracing infrastructor that has a ...Show All
