• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a windows service to run DOS commands

  First off apologies if this is in the wrong forum. Any ideas on how I can do this. Is it possible even. I would prefer to imbed the DOS commands inside the C# rather than reading from a file. Hopefully someone has done something like this before and can offer advice. you can't really. instead you would need to create a batch file with the commands to execute, then run a process of that batch file. you could redirect the input/output and do it via that but can perhaps be a bit more tricky. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.processstartinfo.aspx   ...Show All

• Architecture SOA and Banks

With updates we also had to update all the applications With SOA we nowdays can centrelize services, which can be consumed by other applications. In this way it just uses the ...Show All

• Visual C# Visual studio excluding files from configuration building

  In native code (C++ projects) you can right click on a file select properties and select "Exclude from build" to exclude a file from a specific configuration build. So I can have a file built in the release configuration but not the debug configuration. Is there a way to do this in managed projects. All I see is build action in the properties window but this excudes the file from the project and not a specific configuration. What am I missing Thanks Hi, As far as my knowledge goes, to remove a file from a release version, we can only exclude a file from the project while build action is performed. Thank you, Bhanu. ...Show All

• .NET Development Passing login information to remote windows file share

  I have looked all over the net for information on how to do this and am still lost. I want to copy files from a remote server that has file sharing enabled, however the login information does not match the local domain. So when I try a File.Copy on the remote file I get a error unless I first launch iexplore to the URL of the site ( \\10.100.1.1 for instance) and then it will allow the user to manually authenticate and after that it works. Is there any way to automate this and pass the login info Since no one ever really gave me a answer, I'll answer it myself. The above method was the solution to getting logged into the remote server on a different domain. The problem with my call to mapnetworkdrive() wa ...Show All

• .NET Development Will assembly be functional after sending it with WCF?

  My question extends from the second part of Zhisheng Huang's reply in this post: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/showpost.aspx postid=1205641&siteid=1 I am trying to create a WCF service, that should enable the user to create his own plugins, install them on the server at runtime and make them available to the clients. So basically the server loads plugins that implements an IModule interface with Assembly.LoadFrom and creates instances with Activator.CreateInterface. These instances are then returned to clients. The modules implement 4 methods that I want to execute on the clients. But when the client tries to deserialize an actual module received, I get the following FileNotFoundException: "Could not load ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System unused objects

  Is there any way to list the objects that are no longer referenced anywhere in the database Many times it is useful to check where an object is referenced and it is used at all. Something like caller/callee graph. Thanks, Martin Kulov http://www.codeattest.com/blogs/martin OK since the beans have spilled :) Let me manage expectations; what we are adding is a simple dependecy viewer, this will allow you to walk the dependency chain up and down. This will however not show which objects in the target database are no longer used. We know the list of objects because if you select the build option "Generate DROP statements for objevts that are in the target database but that are not in the database projec ...Show All

• Visual C++ Adding a feature to CPP

  Hello, I want to add a feature to CPP, which already have a realtive feature in CPP. It is similar to the Dtr. Every class have a default Dtr, the default Dtr calls all the Dtr of its sub members, but also you can write your own Dtr for each class specifically. What I want is to add a recursive method, called Recur. Every class will have a default Recur method which will simply call all the Recur methods of its sub members. It will be possible to write your own Recur method for each class specifically. However, I do not want Recur to be invokes when the class exits its scope like in Dtr. How do I do this Thanks in advance. It has a different purpose. If I knew how to ...Show All
