• .NET Development Web Service getting "Unable to connect to remote Server"

  I have a very simple windows form with a button that calls a very simple web service. The web service should just return "true". When I run within visual studio, it works correctly and I can see the .net development server running. However, if I close visual studio and try to run the application, I get "Unable to connect to remote server". I created the web service in c# using visual studio 2005 and I selected "File System" for the location option but specified C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TestConnection as the folder location. I am using .net 2.0, IIS 5.1, and asp.net 2.0.50727. I created a web setup project for the web service and ran the install. From IIS management, I can see the virtual directory and can browse ...Show All

• Windows Forms Closing Managed Form Hides the Unmanaged Owner

  Hi, Just wondering if anyone has seen this problem. Situation: I have an unmanaged app from which I'm using C++/CLI to instantiate a managed modeless dialog. I pass in the unmanaged Handle in the Show call (via a IWin32Window wrapper) to make the unmanaged app main window the owner of the managed form. This works fine in most situations. However, and here's the crux, if my managed form itself launches a modeless or modal dialog, then whenever I choose to close the original managed dialog, regardless of whether the child dialog has been closed or not, then the unmanaged app disappears . It either gets sent to the back or minimized, but the point is that it is no longer the top window. The application is fine, and clicking on the ...Show All
