• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) JulyCTP - SvcUtil generating the incorrect configuration?

  When I used SvcUtil on a service that is configured with UserNameForCertificate in custom binding, it generated the wsHttpBinding on the client side with message security with client credential type as UserName. I had to manually change the configuration from wsHttpBinding to custom binding that mimicked the server side configuration. Is this the expected behavior of SvcUtil in July CTP or is it a bug If so, is it fixed in RC1 Thanks. Why did you have to change it The client configuration need not be "the exact same" as the service configuration. It need only be "equivalent". What svcutil does is take the service description or WSDL and create a binding that has the required facets. I just ran a test on RC1 and ...Show All

• SQL Server How to construct table with unique PK

  Let say I have 6 tables. I want to autogenerate the PK for each table and that is unique for each table and cant be duplicated on other tables. Let say I have table with PK of 1, so table2 to table6 wouldnt have a PK of 1. If table2 have a PK of 2, table1, table3 to table6 wouldnt have a PK of 2. Same for others. Identity will not be appropriate. Will 'uniqueidentifier' data type suffice How bout guid Or what must be my datatype Or what will I do to implement this Any links Thanks What you describe isn't really applicable to a 'normal' primary key. In the 'normal' case, a PK doesn't care about the values of other PK's in other tables. There are cases where one would want to distribute PK values like yo ...Show All

• Visual Basic Operation must use an updatable query

  I have an app that shares a mdb in a shared folder at the windows server 2003. After instalation i get this message... Operation must use an updatable query I have checked everything and even given total control to authenticated users but yet got the same error. I works fine on other servers with the same deployment. Any help please Jorge Laines There are several things to look into for an access database. 1) Have you given the users rights to the mdf file or the folder Access requires a second log file to be dynamically created and destroyed when you open it. If you don't have create and remove rights on the folder, it might not work properly. 2) Make sure your table data is coming from a single table with no ag ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Joining DirectSound to existing app

  I am trying to use DirectX DirectSound which I need to attach to an existing Windows application in order to capture a signal. Since playing sounds is easier, I decided first to attach a button to the existing application that would play a sound. The DirectX 9.0 documentation seems to have no direct tutorials in which such a function is attached to something else. I have done a fair amount of experimenting but am stuck. Specifically, (1) (this is probably trivial) I don't know how to specify the "control" variable in the method Device.SetCooperativeLevel(). (2) (apparently more serious) the instruction "dsDevice = new Device();" throws the exception "[description of instruction] is attempting managed execution insi ...Show All
