• Connected Services Framework How to call HelloWorld service with parameters ?

  Hi, we are trying to extend the HelloWorld sample. The webservice currently has one function HelloWorld, which returns back a string value. But, what if we modify this HelloWorld service, to accept some parameters also, as below: [WebMethod] public string HelloWorld ( string parameter ) { return parameter; } while making a call, we would write < Route > < Criteria > (ACTION EQ 'http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld') </ Criteria > < Destination > HelloWorldParticipant[http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld parameter="Hello World"] </ Destination > </ Route > But this does not work. Any idea on how to call webservice from ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Visual Basic In Excel - Popup or Splash Screen

  I have created a simple program in VB inside Excel, When processing it takes a while so I created a form to display while processing, how do I get this form to show while the process is going but still allow the previous form to do its work, then the popup (splash) screen closes when the process has completed Nick Getz As you're using the VB within Excel then this is VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) which is a very different product from VB.NET and there are some other locations where you will get a quicker and better response to your VBA questions. These forums are for VB.NET questions. So your off topic for this forum. You may find more assistance in following which specifically deals with MS Office development. ...Show All

• SQL Server Querying table2 with results from table1 and displaying data from both tables

  I need help in writing a query. The query should get top 10 items and their values from current year and the values for the same items from previous year table.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Word extraction

  I have a word document that I would like to extract word/sentences that are in a specific custom style. I have written the code to grab the word file but could not figure out how to search by a style... I then thought that I could save the document as a XML document (WordML) and then open that document as a XMLDocument and hopefully write a XPath query to get all of the nodes that meet the criteria. The XPath does not seem to work correctly because the nodes are named with ":" in them. Here is an "short" example....

• Visual Studio Team System Changes since a label was applied

  I'm trying to find out what's been checked into a branch of my repository since a particular label was applied. I'm trying: tf history /format:brief /version:L mylabel ~T /recursive * This does indeed produce a history, but exactly which items are included is a mystery to me - it's clear that it's not what I'm looking for though. I've also tried: tf difference /version:L mylabel ~T /format:brief /recursive . This shows which files have changed, but the output is mostly noise (listing names of directories where nothing's changed).  But what I really want to see is a list of changeset numbers and descriptions - not the list of files that are different. So, what's the secret sauce for getting history since a lab ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Media Element Will Not Play.

  I tracked the error down with the on failed error, and I THINK this is ther error: Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program. I can only say think so because the routed events confuse me somewhat. I'm beginning to think my installation is hosed somehow. I'm not sure how that is though. I restored my laptop to factory configuration yesterday, installed vs, .net 3.0, .net3.0 sdk, orcas in that order. Then I immediately began working on my project and experiencing ide crashes. The orcas designer changes i mentioned in another post have come back, expression crashes upon closing the welcome screen. I cant tell whether my media element not playing is my fault or related to my hosed installation. Can you give me any ins ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Timeout maximum value in config file

  What is the maximum value for timeouts, like receiveTimeout for netNamedPipeBinding I'm trying to set as large a value as possible: receiveTimeout="23:59:59" If I set the hours, minutes or seconds to larger, then my app crashes on start-up. I also tried putting receiveTimeout="10.23:59:59" (According to Timespan documentation, the number before the period should indicate the number of days). However, if I set the number of days to larger than 23, I still get a crash -- which makes me think that "10.23" in the above examples is being parsed as 10.23 hours, and then that is added to 59 minutes 59 seconds. So, what is the maximum value for all these timeouts Can tell it to *not* timeout, ever ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Backups while files are open?

  Hi all; Anyone does backups while users are logged in and fies are open I would like to implement such backup procedure and I was wondering if anyone had experience with such thing. Is this something I need to implement from within VFP using 'copy to' or sql commands or is there a utility that does this Of course I need to 'lock' the users while the backup is being done, so no data entry is performed during backup... Thanks. Backups are normally done off-hours with everybody out. If you have DBFs and somebody has a lock Windows backup utilities will fail (assuming you use a backkup to tape utility of some kind). Backing up using COPY TO is not the best option and it is slower. It will have the same p ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Remove Checkboxes?

• Visual Basic using OLE Automation (GetObject) in a web service

  Hi everyone, I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong forum :-\ I am having trouble using the GetObject method to access the "handle" of an application through a web service. What I have working right now is the ability of a regular Visual Basic .NET program to access and control the program. ExtendApp = GetObject(, "Extend.Application") That works fine and dandy through a Visual Basic Application. I need to port this code to WSDL. The web service is on IIS on my local machine, as is the application I am attempting to control (Extend).

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. The values used in the attempt to create the GraphicsDevice were invalid.
