• .NET Development remote debugging problem

  I'm having some difficulties debugging a web service from a local winform app to a remote development server. I have the remote debugging monitor program running on the remote machine, and it is picking up the attempts to connect in the log. So I know that the code is calling the remote machine and connecting to the web service, it just won't allow me to debug the service. I read up on some of this, and I've seen that they suggest putting the App_code directory in the same directory with the web service. Whenever I copy the App_code folder over to the web service directory, I get an error stating that it is expecting "text/html" instead of "text/xml". The service is a database service that adds an error record int ...Show All

  Hi! I am trying to buids large setup project(approx. 1.7 GB File size) but it gets failed giving error as "Not Enough Space available" . But I checked the memory size but there is enough Free space on C drive. I also build it as msi  and Lossely compressed but it doesn't work. Should I use Installer available from other vendors     Setup and deploy projects are not able to deal well with these large types of installations. Here is one possible work-around: 1) Add a file with the same name as your large file to the project. 2) Set the installer to Package as Loose Uncompressed files via the project property page 3) Build 4) As a post-build step, copy the full-sized files into the build location. ...Show All

• Windows Forms MDI Form

  In my application, i have an MDI application and all the forms that are being displayed are derived from "System.Windows.Forms.Form" ... in this case i were unable to bring the windows to the from simply clicking on the body of the form...

That works fine however on clicking on Tabs->TabPages or any other panel over the windows,it does not generate the click event for the form .. is there any simple method to bring the form to the front this should be automatic, maybe you have additional code that messes up the mdi child forms from being activated. for the meantime, you can try around BringToFront() method of the Form class inherited from the control class ...Show All

• Visual C++ stringstream/ifstream and converting data types

  I am currently writing a CSV string parser, which takes in a string and allows me to do such things as getUnsigned() and getDate() by specifying the position. In a failure-mode test I am writing, I am trying to do a getUnsigned() on an element that is the string "2006-8-1". Naturally, this is not an unsigned, and I even though I have my ifstream set with failbit and badbit, I get no error/exception. Instead, I get "2006" returned. Below is the code I have written for the CSV parser's member getUnsigned(). Does anyone know how to get the ifstream/stringstream to not do a "best try" and instead either give the whole thing or an error/exception Jonathan Scott std::vector<std::string> pars ...Show All

• SQL Server Credentials in Data Sources are getting locked out of SQL

  Weird one this.... Created a report. Set up a new datasource. Using credentials securely stored in server. Set up a local user on the SQL Server specifically to reference through this datasource. Go to reportserver, run the report, and it runs fine. Run it a couple more times, runs fine. Then, all of a sudden, it fails, with the error message The referenced account is currently locked out and may not be logged on to. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070775) This is very strange. I check the account on SQL, and it's still enabled. As it's not a domain account, it hasn't been disabled on the domain. I'm not even familiar with the phrase 'locked out'. After a bit of checking I find out about maxInvalidPasswordAttempts, whereby ASP 'locks ...Show All
