• .NET Development Consuming webservice method with custom object argument

  I have a webservice which takes a custom object (defined in a referenced dll) as an argument. The object is [ Serializable ] and [ CLSCompliant ( true )]. The consumer is able to create this object by referencing the same dll. However, the consumer is expecting a different argument type. The type it is expecting is ProjectName.WebRefName.ObjectName I have tried creating an object of the type the web service is demanding, but I lose functionality of the desired object (eg, collection members). Why is the consumer expecting a different argument type than what is defined in the webservice Thanks. I have also discovered that reference.cs has changed the generic list&nbs ...Show All

• Windows Forms Exclude property of dependent files does not persist within .vdproj

  Within a .vdproj I add a number of files to install within the 'File System' editor within Visual Studio 2005. Various dependent files are automatically included. Some of these dependent files do not need to actually be installed and so I set the 'Exclude' property to 'True' for each. I then save the .vdproj and build. When I close the project down and re-open it, the dependent files once again appear within the 'File System' editor, with the 'Exclude' property reverted to 'False'. Setting the 'Exclude' property of these files does not seem to persist between shutting down and re-opening the project. This causes us a problem for successive builds of the .vdproj. Is this a known bug and how do we overcome this ...Show All

• Visual C# Form Designer - multiple controls inside one single source file

  Is it possible to use the form designer with controls that exist in the same source file Or is the <ControlName>.cs + <ControlName>.Designer.cs mechanism strictly neccessary No, <ControlName>.cs + <ControlName>.Designer.cs is not necessary but just a good habbit to seperate codes accrding to behavior, this is new feature in C# 2.0 and is called partial types. using this you have a single class on multiple files. Its just the idea of isolation of presentation and behaviors. You can put all the code into a single file or even you can have 10 controls in a single file. Best Regards, ...Show All

• SQL Server Execute a flatfile source to oledb destination for each file in a folder.

  Hello, I wanted to do the following. Copy a full directory from source to destination (Done) then for each file on the destination directory,it must process that file and insert rows on the table. So I created a foreach loop, and created a varriable aclled CURRENTFILENAME, and assigned it into the foreachloop to index 0. Inside the foreachloop I created a dataflow task, in the dataflow task I dragged a flat file source and an oledb destination, but I noticed that the flat file source requires flat file manager, and the flat file manager requires a unique FILE NAME. I cant put this c:\copia\*.txt. I took a loot at flat file source properties and it has associated the flat file manager, but I can not assign the filename to ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 8-like documentum's logo

  Can someone reproduce a blue 8-like figure (which comes along with 2 navy balls) , used in Documentum's logo (right to the Help at the top) using loose XAML, please I managed to create a similar one, using 4 Arcs, but it doesn't look smooth enough, especially when it gets scaled up (say to 200X600 px). I guess it can be done with beziers, in which I'm not really strong. The aim is to connect two circles with the *smooth*, narrowing to the middle link. Thanks. P.S. Apologies, if posted to the wrong forum. I don't have any specific suggestions, but you may feel more comfortable with Beziers if you use an interactive tool like Expression Blend: http://www.microsoft.com/products/expression ...Show All

• SQL Server external image not rendering when generated from aspx page

  I'm having problems displaying images generated by aspx pages from a report. It works fine if I point the external value to a static image on the web. I can paste the url to the page into IE and it generates the image with no issues.

• Visual Studio Express Editions vb command line problem

  Hi, I'm starting out in C++ and using the command line prompt to compile my programs using the cl /clr [programname].cpp command. Unfortunately, whenever I have alot of errors in my code, the error list this command generates overruns and I can't scroll backwards through them far enough to get to the earliest code errors (they seem to be "cut off"). Does anyone know a way around this Thanks so much, Chris Try expanding you command prompt limit or just redirect the output into a file (e.g. cl /CLR a.cpp > temp.log).

• SQL Server Incorrect parameter order - Months

  Hi to everyone,  Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't see anything similar from a search of the forums.  I'm trying to filter reports using two parameters set up in the data tab of report builder in VS 2005. I want to filter on month and year, and when I set these filters up in the data tab VS creates the two report parameters for me. When the report is previewed or deployed, the year parameter drop-down list is in the correct order, but the month parameter drop-down list is in alphabetical order (April, August, December, etc).  I have set the time dimension up, with the hierarchy year>month>date. Is there any way to force the months into their correct order I have created parameters of my own to do thi ...Show All

• SQL Server Migrate SQL 2000 to New SQL 2005 Installation.

  Hi all, in my current environment, I have a single server SQL 2000 setup that's being replaced. I'm in the process of installing a new SQL 2005 cluster with the thought of taking advantage of 2005 mirroring and clustering, but have a few questions. 1. My thinking is that I can migrate my 2000 databases to 2005, but leave the databases in 8.0 (2000) mode. Are there any issues with this I know they won't take advantage of the 2005 performance boost 2. Some of the apps don't support 2005 yet so I need to leave them in 2000 mode until they do. Is SQL 2005 fully backwards compatible with a SQL 2000 database 3. Will mirroring work on SQL 2005 with a database that is still in 2000 mode Thanks for any assistance with this! ...Show All
