• .NET Development Detecting implemented locales

  Hey all, Is there a way to dynamically detect which locales have been implemented in my application I want to present a list where the user can choose which UI culture they want the app to choose at next startup. I understand that as long as I have a default culture set up in the main assembly, then the user can choose any culture they want and it will be considered valid -- it just won't get them resources from anything other than the default culture. I just want to help narrow down the list to the cultures that will actually provide something I've implemented. The three ideas I have currently are: - Modify the registry whenever a new locale is installed for my app, and just present the values that are registered to the user. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Automatic removal of unused variables?

  I have migrated my project from VS2003 to VS2005 and now getting lot of warnings such as unused variables.So is there any tool or utility which can remove such warnings --Deepak Hi Deepak, Gabriel is right - using ReSharper Quick Fixes functionality you can delete unused variables one by one, which is not very convenient if you have plenty of them. However, you can easily write a plug-in for ReSharper which does removal of unused variables automatically. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to send image as XML

  I want to send images as XML via Web Service. How can I do that Is there any limitation e.g. size of image. There is no "real" limitation except performance will suffer beyond certain sizes.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) applications/tools using WPF+WCF+WF

  Hello All, What kind of unified applications/tools can i develop which embbeds WPF, WCF and WF Please specify any scenario Best Regards Kausar There is a limitless supply of scenarios in which all of those would be useful. A couple that come to mind: - A peer-enabled business desktop application. The application provides some business functionality, and is aware of other users within the enterprise using the business application. This "awareness" not only allows for collaborative features (possibly things such as whiteboarding, chat, file sharing, etc), but can deal with things like record-locking and synchronization issues. The GUI of the application would be rendered with WPF pro ...Show All

• .NET Development VS2005 - Passing Collection/Array as a Parameter to a Web Service

  I have a web service that I'm trying to call using VS2005. I'm not understanding how to pass a collection as a parameter into my web service.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Image inside control library does not show

  Hi, I have a simple control library that contains an Image. I added a .jpg file to the control library project ("myImage.jpg"). Then I set the source of my Image as "\myImage.jpg".

• SQL Server dimension design

  In my telco cube, I want to analyze usage. Eg how much sms's a subscriber has sent. The fact table is completely denormalized and has lots of columns with different types of usage. For example, following columns occur: MO_VOI_PEAK MO_VOI_OFFPEAK MO_VOI_WEEK MO_VOI_WEEKEND Now the sum of these fields overlap. Evenings during the week are also offpeak... This is only an example. Different categories occur for different products, like voice, sms, mms and so on. And not all categories apply to all products. Eg, mms does not have the peak and offpeak distinction. Is it possible to put this into one dimension, without aggregating double I have already normalised the fact table, meaning tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Project templates do not appear in VS 2005 Pro after installing GAX and GAT?

• .NET Development Problem Hosting .NET Win UserControl in Internet Explorer in ASP.NET project. System.IO.FileLoadException

  Hello all. I've created a .NET Windows Control Library that I'd like to host in Internet Explorer. I've done quite a bit of research on the subject and got it working -- but with some problems. I'll be as descriptive as possible with my situation so that what I've learned thus far can help someone starting out. For my first test, I compiled my control library into a dll. Then I loaded .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration MMC-Snap in from Control Panel->Administrative tools. I proceeded to My Computer-> Runtime Security Policy -> Machine -> Code Groups -> All_Code. From there I created a new Code Group with a Membership Condition of All Code and a Permission set of Full Trust. With this in place, I created a vir ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Open an output file

  Hi there. I am using a serially connected camera with a C# application. My camera replies to the application with a visible ACK and then wirh non-visible bytes. I can read the bytes sucessfully but I cannot print them in an output *.txt file. The application opens the file but nothing is printed on it. In addition, I would like see on my screen only the ACK reply and not the symbol of the non-visible bytes (255 dec. in ASCII code).
