• Internet Explorer Development IE7 displays my xml/xslt page differently from IE6

  Hi, I have a Web application that works as follows: - An ASP.net page generates an XML string linked to an XSLT stylesheet and sends it to Internet Explorer. - Internet Explorer applies the stylesheet and displays the resulting HTML page in the browser. Everything worked great with IE6 and most of this still works fine in IE7 except for one page. In that page, I return an XML string similar to the following: 1 < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" > 2 < xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="styles/volumetryAdmin.xslt" > 3 <ifinance xmlns="urn:ifinance" auth="0" lang="fr" today="20061109"> 4 <precomps> 5 <precomp id="5& ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CommunicationException was unhandled

  When doing multiple client load test using wcf Service with tcp , i get the following error. The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '10:10:49.6250096'. The same code is working fine for single user version. The service has http and tcp end point. Http end point is working fine with multiple client. I also had the same problem with TCP binding but not with WSHTTP binding. After some testing I have found a solution that work with my application, I hope it is working in your case too.

• Visual Studio Team System Newbie question...... How to get starting with source control

  Hi Everyone…. In the past, our team has working on the web sites on a development server byconnecting directly to the files. (ie: \\devwebserver1\website1, \\devwebserver\website2, etc.). Once work is finished, the project being worked on is then moved to a testing server. I have just finished installed TFS on a brand new machine, and I have created a new Team Project without creating a source control folder. From here, I would like to know where the source files (aspx, aspx.vb, images, etc) should be located. Should they stay on the development server, or should they be moved to the TFS Where can I find a document that outlines the structure to be followed Thanks, Forch ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies WDS 3b2 - file type list is truncated

  On one of the machines where I have installed the second beta of WDS 3, the list of file types on the advanced page stops at "mda". No extensions below that in the alphabet even appear, nor can I add them manually (when I do so, it seems to work but the the added extensions doesn't stick - the next time I open the file types setting page, it is again truncated). Running on XP home SP2 - and by the way, all the registered file types show up properly when viewed from the menu in an Explorer window. Thanks for any help Thank you Edward. Indexing Options CPL expects that all subkeys under HKCR give Administrators either read/write (default) or read permission. I wonder what could have stopmed on default permissions Tha ...Show All

• Visual C++ Problem when call VC6 DLL in VS2005

  I have a vs2005 project which calls a vc6 produced dll, and in that dll there are some classes which use CMap,CList classes.After calling functions in that dll, the vs2005 project crash when CMap class destructor is called.Anybody knows the reason If the vc6-compiled DLL is using any runtime library functions (like the C/C++ runtime or STL) then the configuration is not supported. What you're probably seeing is that a VC6 free/delete method is trying to delete a block of memory allocated by a VC8 malloc/new method--which is not supported. Each version of the runtime allocates and initializes header data (usually just before the address returned by the CRT allocation procedure) as well as values used to ...Show All
