• .NET Development SOAP Validation Tool?

  I've created a C# application which queries a Web Service. The service responds as expected, but when debugging Visual Studio says 'Server has committed a protocol violation. Section=ResponseStatusLine [in System.Net.WebException]. Is there any way to find out exactly what the problem is with this SOAP reply, either within visual studio or otherwise The SOAP being sent by the server is: < xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" > <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> .<soapenv:Body> .<getCountResponse soapenv:encodingStyl ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Adding largeicon to imagelist gives error in Vista.

  Hi, I have two imagelist with size 16 * 16 and 32 * 32 respectively. I add an icon to these two image list and it works fine on XP. Under 120 DPI setting, It gives an error in Vista when i try to add the icon to the second imagelist. In the normal DPI setting it works fine. The error is, WFCException : cannot add an image smaller than the imagesize property. The code is in vj++. sample code is: smallImageList = new ImageList (new Point (16, 16)); largeImageList = new ImageList (new SIZE (32,32)); Icon icon = (Icon)LImage.getImage.... smallImageList.addImage (icon); largeImageList.addImage (icon); //error occurs on this statement.

• Software Development for Windows Vista State Machine Exception Handling

  Can anyone tell me what the best practice is to handle exceptions in a state machine process. I would like to move the instance to different error states depending on the type of exception. It would seem that normal compensation processing is not available in a State Machine Regards Jaco Hi Bill, I feel like an idiot, 1min after posting i found the "lovely" smartr tag allowing me to choose the Cancel, Fault, or EventDriven views. I am new to the excecption (compensation) handling in WF. Will an exception that occurred in a code activity after the initial external event activity force the process into the fault handling view If so, then I am sorted I will send my necesary notifications in the fault handler and ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Drawing 2D primitives?

  I already asked Derek this question, but as request- I'm reposting the question publicly so we all can learn anyway- the question is how to draw lines/2D primitives in XNA.  essentially- how would i construct a series of lines from point a to b to c to d to etc... ive read solutions from back in beta1 here that stated its a very long/tedious amount of code compared to textures that take only about 3-4 lines to draw.  i was wondering if by now they added somethign like the simplicity in Java where its just graphic.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2);   and theres a line from (x1, y1) to (x2, y2) i checked the documentation and only found primitives in 3D what would be the closest in XNA ...Show All

• Visual Basic "By Design" IDE Bug

  I'm sure this has been asked (compained) about before, but I can't locate a post about it, so here goes... The IDE deletes my code without asking. I do not want it to do that. Precisely, if I want to delete any code, I will highlight it and hit the delete button. Go figure. The problem occurs when controls are cut and pasted (for example, to move from the form surface to a panel or tab). The IDE quite rudely deletes the event handlers. I understand this is 'by design', but it is infuriating to say the least... Is there a hotfix for this A hack Anything The VS2005 designer for VB.NET forms doesn't appear to do that. It leaves the event handler code but just removes the Handles keyword. Which create ...Show All

• Visual Studio Scalability : local vs remote

  We are in the early stages of designing a reporting system to make our data available over the web. We need to control parameter input ourselves and plan to use the ReportViewer. The big decision is deciding whether we run local reports on the web servers, or remote reports on the database server One of the factors that will influence this is scalability. At the moment we don't have enough information on concurrent users and expected report volumes, but we obviously don't want to go down a path that won't scale. If we run local reports they can run on the web server without a SQL Server license, and we can scale out by adding more web servers. If we run remote reports then this implies a SQL Server box. Obviously we have one to start with ...Show All

• .NET Development There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table that match the referencing column list in the foreign key

  Hello, i am facing problem creating a database with tables which have contraints. I receive the error: "There are no primary or candidate keys in the referenced table [SomeTableName] that match the referencing column list in the foreign key [SomeForeignKeyName]" I realize that the column list in the [SomeTableName] table must be unique for foreign key constraints. But i am not trying to create any constraints! [SomeForeignKeyName] foreign key is a "Relation Only" relation for easy mapping. I cannot put the unique constraint on my column list because it cannot be unique! (besides, eventhough I make it unique it for debugging purposes, i still get the same error!) here is info about the table structure: Table 1 : Column 1 (Primary Key), Colu ...Show All

• .NET Development Socket reconnection loop - help in build the algorithm

  Hi, I have a printer connected to the network, and i want to monitorize all its status. I wanna know when it is online or down, and i made a couple of code to do it but it doesn't work at all as it should be. I need to start my application, check if the printer is ONLINE ( i'm using a ping ) after ping == sucessfull i make a socket connect asynchronously with BeginReceive(); in a specific port where printer sends its status (9100 traditional port) and in the function that receives the data from printer and treat it to show some particular printer information. when socket raises an error of connection i make an Asynchronous Ping and i wait its echo to be sucessfull, and after that i reconnect again the socket.

• Visual Studio Team System Orphaned branch

  I’m having some issues with a branch and need some assistance to diagnose the root problem. For some unknown reason, a portion of a branch doesn’t act as if it has a trunk any longer. When I try to perform a merge from that subdirectory it doesn’t show a “target branch” in the dropdown box. It acts as if this subdirectory is an orphan with no parent branch. We are trying to merge bug fixes from this branch back into the mainline and are quite perplexed as to why this has happened. About a week ago we were able to merge files from the subdirectory back to the main branch, so something was done since then to break this functionality. What can I do to diagnose this issue From the history, it doesn't look like this folder was deleted a ...Show All
