• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How does one dispose of IDisposable resources in a Page?

  I have a self-contained Page that subscribes to a WCF service during its lifetime. I would like to ensure that when the page is no longer referenced by the owning parent window or frame that the page is disposed of along with the WCF proxy it created. Should I be using the Loaded/Unloaded events to control the proxy lifetime or is there a more preferable method Yes, I'm aware the CLR does not invoke Dispose, but frameworks sometimes do if a registered object implements the interface. WPF does not, at least not for Pages. Anyway, my mention of IDisposable was primarily to illustrate the types of resources I wanted to destroy in a more deterministic fashion (like the proxy) when the page is unloaded. I was ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Checkpoints

  I have a package that uses ssis checkpoints. It works well. However, when I try to setup transactions for some task, the chekpoints aren't used. I read BOL and It states: "If a package is configured to use checkpoints, Integration Services captures the restart point in the checkpoint file. The type of container that fails and the implementation of features such as transactions affect the restart point that is recorded in the checkpoint file ." But, how checkpoints are affected by transactions what relation exists between this two components Hernan93 wrote: I have a package that uses ssis checkpoints. It works well.

• Gadgets OT: Suggestions about gallery.live.com

  Several things stand out about this site, now that people are starting to use it. So, here's some suggestions: Implement some sort of language filtering. Although I have nothing against the use of non-English and think it's actually commendable than MS allowing it, I would rather filter out Gadgets that are of no use to me. Alternatively allow multiple languages in the Gadget description, or some form of language translation. Improve Gadget images. It would be great if you could attach screenshots, as well as the 100x100 icon. Do something about Gadget spam. "Vamos Strip Player" springs to mind, I'd hate to think how many times it's posted. Remove the 1000 character limit on the description field, and allow it to be rich text ...Show All

• Visual Basic cant open .VB file in visual studio editor,opens in hex view bug?

  Hello, I have a strange problem that I have looked for the answer to but no solution has seemed to work yet.  I am using Visual Studio 2005 with Visual source safe, and I have a visual basic solution I am working with.  For one of the .vb files in my soution (parser.vb), visual studio for some reason stopped opening the file.  Yesterday everything was working fine like normal, but now, when I double click the file from the solution explorer, it will open the file in what looks like a hex editor in a new tab (this is all still within the visual studio IDE, it doesnt pop open a separate application or anything).  All the other files in the solution still open normally with the vb code editor with intellisense and ...Show All

• .NET Development PCI Device Port I/O

  I have a PCI device that is controlled by writing directly to its I/O ports (i.e. the "I/O Range" in the Resources tab of the device in the Windows Device Manager). Is there any .NET managed method of reading from and writing to such ports If not, is the best method of doing so to make an unmanaged call to some Win32 function There are some freeware device drivers around that use a usermode DLL to let an app read and write directly to an I/O port. You'll have to P/Invoke the DLL's methods from a .NET program. I use this one and have had good luck with it... ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Error using Distinct !!

  I'm developing an application for a smart device, when I add " Distinct" to my query, I got the following message "The command contains one or more error", when I remove " Distinct" to the query it will work. here's the query: AdoceDataAdapter da = new AdoceDataAdapter("Select Distinct Name From Students",cn); DataSet ds = new DataSet(); da.Fill(ds); Any suggestions That is quite expected as ADOCE does not support Distinct.

• Visual Studio Team System Unit Test FAQ

  Q: How do I see non-public stuff in a unit test Suppose we have a class like the following: Public Class ToTest Sub SetValue(y as Integer ) x = y End Sub Private x As Integer End Class We would like to call SetValue and verify that 'x' gets set. OK. Right click on SetValue to create a test. Create a new VB Test (or put it into an existing VB Test). In the generated test, let's set the initialization of 'y' to 3. Go back to your original code, Right Click on SetValue again, but this time, select the Create Private Accessor command, inserting the accessor into your VB Test Project. What you want to do is use an accessor to 'wra ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Express:Is it possible to convert existing data from .mdb to .mdf?

  Hi all, I need to use the SQLDataSource in Visual Web Developer (VWD) 2005 Express websites. The SQLDataSource must have the .mdf data in the project application. But I have a volume of the .mdb data for evaluation by using T-SQL of the SQL Server 2005 Express and VWD 2005 Express program. Is it possible to convert existing data from .mdb to .mdf If it is possible, please tell me what software program to use and how to do it. Thanks, Scott Chang OK, sure. Depending on your Access version, Access has a Upsizing Assistent which can help your to export the data to the SQL Server. Another option would be to right click the database in the Express Manager > Tasks > Import data. HTH, Jens K. Suessmeyer. --- http://ww ...Show All

• Windows Forms In Multi threaded Application, OpenFileDialog-> My Computer tree not showing Drives available

  I developed Multi threaded application ([MTATrhead]). And am using OpenFileDialog, when clicked on My Computer (from left wokspace) it is not showing the Drives available. I found its a bug in COM Interoperability (Pls see link http://discuss.develop.com/archives/wa.exe A2=ind0509d&L=advanced-dotnet&T=0&F=&S=&P=6681 ) Is there any Work Around Thanks Santosh Why would you ever make the UI thread multi-threaded anyway Windows does not support multiple threads interacting with the UI. All UI interaction must be serialized down to the creating thread's message queue. If you don't follow this rule then bad things happen at peculiar times.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Major Problem - VISTA RTM / P5WD2-Premium / ICH7R SATA RAID

  I have tried loading the x32 RTM version of Vista on my P5WD2-Premium with absolutely no luck. I have tried many different ICH7R SATA RAID drivers including the one that comes on the OS DVD. The OS installs but, upon first reboot, the RAID array becomes corrupt and will no longer boot (solid HD light). I have tried RAID0 and 1. Both have the same results.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I am so fed up with WPF and .Net 3.0 !!!!

  I have dutifully followed the development cycle of Vista WPF and .Net 3.0 through over a years CTP's and although it all sounds great, the delivery from MS is very poor. It's strange how a xbap application will work, then suddenly not work and then I have start a new application with the code from the old one and it works. The documentation provided by the SDK is so technical and incomplete it's virtually impossible to decipher and errors fly thick and fast through the Extensions to VS2005. I have a entire book shelf of now obsolete .NET 1.1 Framework ... volumes and volumes of it which was outdated before I even got it and was over $600. Now .Net 2.0, and .Net 3.0 Come on MS, where the hell are you going and how the hell do you thi ...Show All
