• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Generic exception handling strategy

  Hi, What is the recommended approach for exception handling on the WCF tier The SDK and some of the threads on this forum are stating that separate data contracts should be created to represent the various SOAP faults. Then, I am supposed to mark up the OperationContract methods with the "expected" faults (by the way, the documentation says that I can mark a service contract itself with a list of expected faults, but the compiler is claiming that it's only available for methods -- is the documentation out of date ). Then, in my service operation, I am supposed to wrap my calls (to business logic layer, let's say) in a try/catch block and provide mapping between specific exceptions and SOAP faults in the relevant "catch&qu ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Rules Editor

  I must be missing something simple but I have been unable to use the "System.Workflow.Activities.Rules.RuleConditionReference" within my workflow (CAG specifically). Everytime I select this option and click the ellipse to add a New Condition , the popup closes. If I enter text manually in the ConditionName field and hit enter, it will create the worklow.rules file with RuleExpressionCondition line. Next I try to add the expression by clickin on the ellipse and I get an error "An item with the same key has already been added". I have hand coded a rules file using other examples in hopes of it being recognized but with no luck. Am I missing something Jesse I am able to create a new application and succesfu ...Show All

• SQL Server Create Directory with a File System Task

  Hi! I'm having a bit of a problem implementing a File System Task to Create a directory and would appreciate some help if possible. I want to create a date directory so I can move files to once they are imported successfully.

• Visual C# Create Label At RunTime

  Hi, i am trying to create a label after a tree node is selected but it dosen't seem to want to work, the code i am using is as follows; this.label = new Label(); this.label.AutoSize = true; this.label.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(175, 38); this.label.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(38, 13); this.label.TabIndex = 2; this.label.Text = "The Created Label"; You need to add the label to a control.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Display Problem

  I coded a car race program and everything functions properly, except for the display. The program is supposed to display the number of correct and incorrect choices made by the player depending on his selection, but my program isn't displaying either one. Instead, it is displaying the number of times the program is run. Here is the piece I think is not functioning correctly: Beginning...

• Visual Studio Express Editions initializing a structure ?

  Hello, I initialize arrays like this int temptijd[MAXFILES]; ZeroMemory(&temptijd, sizeof(temptijd)); Got a structure like this struct dagLijst{ // is een array van alle lijstnamen en hun parameters CString m_naam; int m_startTijd; int m_aantalFiles; int m_news; int m_totaalTijd; }m_dagLijst[4][MAXFILES]; and trying to initilize like this ZeroMemory(&m_dagLijst, sizeof(m_dagLijst)); But that does not seem to work, how do i handle this Thx You're destroying the CString object m_naam. Fix it by using a constructor rather than using ZeroMemory to initialize the structure. For example: struct dagLijst { dagLijst() { m_naam = ""; m_startTijd = m_aantalFiles = m_news = m_totaalTijd = 0; ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Mng Studio

  Is there a way to open a seperate window that contains a table's column information that you can copy by row/columns. The Object Explorer does not have this option. I have been opening up the Table/Modify tab but I dont like to do that since it has writable information for the table. Also it can only be set as a tab and not as a floating window so you can move it and resize it to what you need. In RapidSQL it is called a describe window. I use it as a quick reference when using a table. Column name Data type Primary key indicator... Also create to copy column info to paste into your stored procedures.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS utilizing existing Sharepoint portal

  Hi all We are looking at implementing a TFS install fairly soon for our production source control. I've been looking at the eval version for the last week or so and have encountered a problem with one of the requirements I've been given. We have an existing Sharepoint portal (2003) server that we have our company intranet on. We are trying to determine if it is possible to configure TFS to create project sites on the sharepoint server as opposed to the app tier.
