• .NET Development passing objects with webServices

  i'm trying to write a web service that will store objects that are created on the clients. clients will send the objects to the server and the server will save them then, when one client calls the server will pass the object to the client again. How can i do that thanks Matt. it works but i have different questions now. i tried to find these in my books but non gives satisfactory answers...as far as i understand, these proxy classes you told are kept on the client side. but only the properties are kept not the methods. so if i instantiate objects through these proxy classes how do i use the methods in the client i also need them... should i write webmethods for these methods in the webservice to make them available to the client is ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with Button template and properties IsMouseOver, IsPressed

  Hello all, I'm trying to implement some "standard" behavior of a button control. Let's take Win XP window minimize button for example. It has 3 states - Normal, MouseOver and MousePressed. If I click on minimize button and move mouse outside the button keeping left mouse button pressed, minimize button returns to the Normal state. Question is how to achieve similar functionality with button template in xaml All examples found in the internet behave this way: if mouse click is performed on some target button and mouse is moved outside the button keeping left mouse button pressed, target button returns to MouseOver state - not Normal. A little example to illustrate WPF button behavior: <Page xmlns=" http:/ ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using DetailsView to insert, update, delete rows from SQL2005 database - update doesn't work - no errors

  Using VS 2005 DetailsView to insert, delete, and update rows in SQL 2005 database. insert and delete work but update does not. I recieve no errors and the detailsView comes back unchanged (as well as table row is unchanged). This is similar to Sara P's problem but the resolution doesn't fit my problem.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to show dates in forms by the order of time?

  Hello, all, I have a little database which deals with patients paper work. I have two tables. One is patients' basic information like name, race, age, and so on. The other is the patient's paper work including the date when the patient finishes the paper work. So I have two forms. One if for the patients' basic information, the other form is a subform of it to show the paper work information of the patient. My question is, when I try to see one patient's all paper work, say, 2 records, they are shown by the order of number, but not time. e.g. The first record will be paper work on 10/24/2006, while the second record will be paper work on 12/6/2005. I hope the records can be shown by the order of time. I mean, when I check the s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changing comments programatically

  I would like to be able to change comments for items in sourcesafe via the API. I can find the IVSS Version and see comments for an item/version but there does not seem to be a way of modifying a versions comments. I know this can be done via the IDE so there must be a call for me to duplicate this functionality. I found the IVSS VB project that is a VB.net project that attempts to mimic the SourceSafe IDE but it does not allow editing of comments! any help would be appreciated. If this is affecting your business, you can open a support case and ask for a DCR (design change request). No guarantee it will be accepted. You might also log a suggestion at Connect and ask people to vote for it, tha ...Show All

• .NET Development How to know when a remote object is no more available

  Hello, Is it possible to know when a remote object is no more available. I mean something like the OnClose event of the MFC CAsyncSocket class. Marco Hi Marco, Remoting doesnt provide this kind of server events. There are couple of options that you can try 1. Implement a ping method on the server that clients can periodically ping to check the health of the server 2. Implement a callback mechanism and then make the server invoke all clients in its InitializeLifetimeService method (which should be called when the server's lease expired) to let them know its going down. Hope this helps. ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Using "include" in mark up files

  I am trying to reuse parts of main menu mark up for the in-movie menu. An early iHD documentation states that conditional includes like this <include condition="SPRM(12)='en'" href="english.xml" /> should be possible. The schemas allow includes without condition too. But a line like this <include href="menubody.xml" /> within the body doesn't show any effect. Any ideas Are the linked files supposed to have special formatting Cheers, Gunnar No, that is correct. Note that the included file must be referenced as a playlist resource and in the manifest. Also, the linked file must include the namespace declarations in its root element, eg: < xml version="1.0" > <div ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored Procedure Performance

  Hello, Given that a stored procedure and T-SQL code in query analyzer are exactly the same, why would the stored procedure run much slower When I mean much slower I mean 3 sec for the code in query analyzer as opposed to 2:33 sec for the stored procedure. Exact same code! Profiler also gives more reads and writes for stored procedure, and a lot of BatchStarted and BatchCompleted directives between the 'start' and 'end' of the stored procedure. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Tim I thought I was updating the statistics and rebuilding the indexes on this database weekly (and I do have it in the 2005 (9.0) compatibility mode); but upon further inspection of the execution plan I fo ...Show All
