• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) propagate Claims

  Hi, I have a Service A, hosted in IIS. Service A provides 2 endpoints using 2 different bindings. Binding 1 is wshttpBinding and Binding 2 is netNamedPipeBinding. Service A uses a custom authorization manager and authentication policy as a behavior with the wsHttpBinding. Service A calls Service B by using netNamedPipeBinding. The motivation for using netNamedPipeBinding when calling service B is purely for performance reasons, and I can change the binding later on if I choose to deploy service B somewhere else (i.e. not on the same machine) and the programming model would be the same for service A when invoking service B. The thing is, netNamedPipeBinding only supports security mode none or ...Show All

• Visual Basic Implicit ReDim - Is this a bug ?

  No cracks about the 'bug' is sitting at the keyboard Try this: <Code> Sub Test Dim a(0 To 9, 0 To 5) As String a = FuncX() End Sub Function FuncX() as String(,) Dim Ret(0 To 4, 0 To 5) as String < Code to fill Ret > FunctX = Ret End Function <\Code> When you check 'a' in Test, it has been redefined as Ret: i.e. (0 to 4, 0 to 5) No compile warning ... although I can see where it might be hard to checks this. No Runtime error - except when I try to use 'a' with the full dimensions. Is this a bug or is it intentional and I'm missing something (other than my mind for such poor code consistency). Roger I see it (but I hardly believe it). If I re ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) VS 2005 XAML IntelliSense - SOLVED!

  Hello, I have installed everything I can find on .Net 3 including the extensions. I am currently having issues with the XAML Intellisense not working. Not only will it not pick up my own project references eg xmlns:custom="clr-namespace:SDKSample;assembly=SDKSampleLibrary" <custom: does not work. But also when I try to tap into TextBox.Text for the <Binding> It does not recognise it. Have I missed something to install Thanks, Brett.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How can I obtain from a service implementation instance a reference to its Host ?

  I'm opening several services with a thread pool. The services are declared as InstanceContextMode.Single. I want to know from my service implementation when a service host state becomes opene d. I can not use the OperationContext.Current.Host, cause it is only relevent in a operation method call. Using the InstanceContext and giving (this) in the constructor did'nt work either, the state remained Created all the time and did'nt change to Open. You can subscribe to the host's Opened event: using System; using System.ServiceModel; using System.Collections.Generic; [ServiceContract] public interface ITest { [OperationContract] string Echo(string text); } [ServiceBehavio ...Show All

• Community Chat User Interface Oriented Application Development

  Hi all, my name is Babak K. Farahani, who was thinking about User Interface Oriented Application Development concept for just 15 years! Three years ago after lots of different implementation I decided to develop the first application that could generate applications based on the UIOAD concept. As I never thought I must register the concept at the time, I never published anything about my dreams. Recently with help of my friends, we published a paper on UIOAD and set up the www.uioad.org to ask all other developers around the world help us in completing and developing the concept. So, I invite everybody to the site and appreciate your comments, idea and ... Regards No, it is really, completely different with InfoPath or ...Show All
