• .NET Development Purpose of dynamically-generated WSDL?

  Several resources, including Aaron Skonnard's excellent 8/2002 "XML Files" column discuss the subject of pointing ASMX to a static WSDL file. Aaron's comments include this quotation: "Even when you generate an ASP.NET page from a static WSDL document, the ASP.NET infrastructure continues dynamically generating a new WSDL document each time the wsdl query string is received. The dynamically generated WSDL document will be equivalent to the static WSDL document that served as the starting point for the class but it may not be exactly the same (and it won't include comments or other extensions that you may have added)." If the ASP.NET infrastructure continues dynamically generating a new WSDL document each time the w ...Show All

• SQL Server Query Notification stops working after 10 minutes

  Hi All We built a Cache component that take advantage of the SQL Server 2005 query notification mechanism, all went well , we tested the component in a console application , and notifications kept coming for as long time as the console application ran. When we initiate our Cache Component in our web service global.asx application start event , the query notification works for a few minutes , but if we came after 10 minutes or so , we stoped getting notifications from sql, the SQL Server queue is empty , and all is showing that there is nothing wrong on the DB side...

• Visual Basic System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)

  Hi, I run an online Railroad simulation with a Community of some 60-70 players. Just recently 2 of the players have had to re-install Windows and hence the Simulation and now when they attempt to load it they get " System.IO.FileNotFoundException: The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)" No others are affected and indeed a couple of new players who have installed the game in the same period have had no problems. I have sent the affected players a list of the loaded Assemblies and both have confirmed all are present and correct. I am using VB Express with .NET Framework V2.0 and the DirectX Redistribution from October 2005 (ie Direct3DX 1.0.2908 with the other DirectX Assemblies ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Cannot run Team Edition for Database Professionals if not local admin?

  Hi there, It's very annoying at our work, but we are not local admins on our machine while logged into the domain. We do have Administrator rights only when we log in as local Administrator to the machine. So when I install the CTP, I execute the setup under the local Admin account, and it installs fine, and runs fine when logged in locally. But, when logged into the domain, it does not show up as an installed product under Help -> About. I do not have this problem with any other product ie I have the BI studio, team edition developer, team edition tester, etc running fine. Any thoughts on how to get the ctp to install and run properly for me Will this work in the future Because if it doesn't we have to go buy a few licenses of ...Show All

• Windows Forms app.application Publish file

  Hi, I know this has already been posted, but I need to get it clear in a simple way. The 'app'.application file is created when you publish an application to a web/ftp server, along with other files. The publish.htm page shows a button linking to the 'app'.application file and I can correctly install it, but a friend of mine (and maybe many more people too) get the 'app'.application file contents displayed in his browser. He has the .NET Framework 2.0 installed (installed automatically with VB 2005 Express), and I would like a simple solution to resolve this issue, without reinstalling .NET 2.0 (unless you are sure it resolves it). I also heard that it has to do with MIME types , but I'm not too familiar with this term to unders ...Show All

• Visual C++ Truncated text in reports

  Hi experts! I have a table in access with a field type memo, but when I generate a report the fields with more than 255 characters are truncated. Tks, To correct this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Office 2000. there is a workaround for this bug: Instead of exporting the report in Excel format, export it as HTML. However, this provides only a partial solution. When you open the file in Excel, the text in the Memo field will be spread over multiple cells instead of being in one single cell. Please also note that such questions are out of scope of this forum, for the scope of the Visual C++ General forum please look at: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostI ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Explicitly show text for pushpin (no mouseover)?

  Folks: Is there any way to force the display of the pop up for a pushpin without requiring the user to mouse-over it I'd like to start the display of a map with a handful of my pushpins already popped-up; is that possible N.Z. Bear The Truth Laid Bear http://truthlaidbear.com There is an example out there that does this but we wanted both. A small label on the point itself and a detailed mouse over. We used AddControl, but that only half of it, you also need to remove them.

• Visual Studio Team System Query results window is cached ?

  When you run a query, open the result in MS Excel, make changes to the work items, publish them and then run the query again from within VS, you get the same results as before the change and publish from MS Excel. It seems that the query is just not run because there is already an existing results window. How can i make sure that the query runs every time even if there was already a resuls window for that specific query I have another situation in which a similar caching problem turns up. Maybe it is the same underlying problem, may be not. So I just outline the scenario. - create and install a web service that sets the AreaPath field to a specified value whenever a new work item is created - create a ...Show All

• .NET Development Marshal SAFEARRAY to/from COM object

  I have a COM object with a method declared thus: HRESULT GetPixels([ in ] IDispatch * position, [ in ] VARIANT values, [ out , retval ] VARIANT_BOOL* result); - which I'm trying to call from managed code (c#, to be specific). My problem is with the values parameter. It's intended to be passed a VARIANT that has VT_ARRAY and (optionally) VT_BYREF attributes. It can have up to 5 dimensions, and the elements can be any of several types (from bytes to doubles). The values of the array are effectively 'out' parameters from the method, although the data type and array dimensions are effectively 'in'; in other words, the COM method fills the pre-allocated array with values. The default marshalling seems to treat the values parameter ...Show All
