Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Adding Web Reference in VS 2005 to WCF Service
Hello, As I’ve found out yesterday, it’s important to create a proxy class for ‘WCF web service’ using svcutil.exe even though it uses 'basicHttpBinding'. If one does it through VS2005's 'add web service' routine, the created proxy allows passing string fields only. All value types doesn't go through. I mean the proxy class looks correct with all fields having correct types. But when I attach the debugger to the WS I see default values only for types like int, short, DateTime etc. Am I doing something wrong nefis Nefis, Do you have the Visual Studio Extensions for .Net 2.0 installed If so you can use "add service reference" instead of "add web reference."

.NET Development problem with DateTime
wTimer= new DateTime (1,1,1, Convert .ToInt32((wTime/60)), Convert .ToInt32(wTime%60),0); MessageBox .Show(wTimer.ToString()); wTimer.AddSeconds(-1); MessageBox .Show(wTimer.ToString()); the two message give the same DateTime object, why Because you are passing the same object to the function. If you look at the documentation for AddSeconds (and indeed any other method on the DateTime class) you will see that it returns a new instance of the DateTime with the changes applied, because the DateTime struct is immutable. So what you're doing in effect is creating a new DateTime and then ignoring it. If you change the following line it will work as you expect: wTimer = wTim ...Show All

SQL Server Date Format Data Driven Subscription
I'm getting the typical error that the format of my date parameters is not correct. Although i'm getting my dates in a select from a datetime field. Is there really no universal format that can be delivered to RS that he can interprete the date right, whatever language the report has been set to. Kind Regards ..... You can define your datetime parameters as YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS. This format is independent of the language of the report.

Up until now I retrieved the data in the clipboard, but need the selected text also. How can I do this thanks. cheers, alej Sorry if i did not express myself correctly.

Visual Studio Indentation in code-tag in included xml-tag
If I want to use a <code>-tag containing indentation in an Xml documented member, I can do it like this: /// <remarks: /// <code> /// <MyKey > /// <registrations default="<i>MyDefaultRegistration</i>" > /// < /MyKey> /// </remarks> This works fine.

SQL Server Large files(Excel) coming out of Reporting Services how can I compress them for email
I have a 29000 row spreadsheet coming out of Reporting Services that is producing a large file that we email. How can I create the most compact spreadsheet/file for scheduled daily emailing out of Reporting Services I'm pretty sure there isn't any built-in way to compress the report attached to an email in Reporting Services. There aren't really any tricks that you can use to reduce the size of the report generated, other than making sure that you use numbers instead of strings whenever possible -- numbers will generally take less space in the Excel format than strings. Depending on how you are sending the emails, you might be able to use some third party code or write your own code to compress the exporte ...Show All
