• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamic applying of client’s configuration

  By importing of endpoints from WsdlImporter, the resulting enpoint can not be used to dicertly create the instance of the factory and proxy at the client. For example: MetadataExchangeClient mexClient = new MetadataExchangeClient (mexAddress); MetadataSet metadataSet = mexClient.GetMetadata(); WsdlImporter importer = new WsdlImporter (metadataSet); ServiceEndpointCollection endpoints = importer.ImportAllEndpoints(); ChannelFactory <TChannel> factory = new ChannelFactory <TChannel>( endpoints[0]); ITestService proxy = factory.CreateChannel(); If the example is executed as it is, the last line will fail with following exception: “ Instance of MessagePartDescription Name='n1' Namespace= ...Show All

• SQL Server Restricting memory Express constumption

  Hi We are developing some applications for Sunit computers (In-vehicle computers) which have limited memory . Because the applications display maps, the will consume alot of memory. Because of this, we want to restrict the amount of memory and other resources SQL Server Express uses to a minimum. I've tried setting 'max server memory', which doesn't help too much as this is only a limit on the SQL engine and not the sqlserver.exe process. What other settings and restrictions can I apply to limit memory consumption by the process We have considered using SQL Server Everywhere, but as it doesn't support ODBC (will there be any ODBC support ), we are not too happy about using it. As of now, we have no experience with OLE DB, and the ap ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Context in workflow?

  I was curious to know if there a way of sharing a "context" between all activities in a workflow instance. I am looking at something analogous to HttpContext in ASP.NET and LogicalCallContext in Remoting. Of course, I can resort to ThreadLocalStorage or AppDomain data myself, but I wondering whether there is a better way of handling this. Thanks, Manoj It would be easier if you could explain what your scenario looks like Mikael ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista DwmSetWindowAttribute and DWMWA_ALLOW_NCPAINT question

  I'm trying to draw on the NC area and it seems to have absolutely no effect. I found DWMWA_ALLOW_NCPAINT and hoped that this would allow NC Painting with GetWindowDC or GetDCEx. However, simply setting this property seems to disable the glass frame rendering - I end up with a solid white area instead (although the drop shadow and "glow" of the min/max buttons remains functional). Anyone know if I'm missing a vital step here how can we create a window with no NC area Was wondering how the office 2007 applications does this. Thanks Prasanth ...Show All

• SQL Server Visual Studio 2005 The remote connection to the device has been lost. Please verify the device connection and restart debugging.

  Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get The remote connection to the device has been lost. Please verify the device conection and restart debugging. I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back! My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Encrypting PeerChannel Messages

  Hi, I'm in the process of attempting to setup a system which detects existing peer applications on the network and broadcasts node information to all registered peers. This is working just fine, and I'm able to generate broadcast messages and query the network to broadcast information for all connected peers. However, I would like to take this to the next step and enforce encryption of all messages travelling over the network. Basically, I would like the peer channel messages to function just like the other standard WCF bindings in regards to message security. Now, I understand that this is a rather strange request, and seems to run counter to the purpose of PeerChannel in general, but I'd just like to know if it is possible, and if ...Show All

• SQL Server Trying to get the remainder of a decimal by using Formula on a field

  Hello Everyone, Here is my situation. I have a field in a table (named QuestionPosition)(type Decimal) that contains values like this: 1  2   3  4  5.1  5.2  5.3 ... I want to have another field in the same table that stores just the remainder (in the above case a 0 for integer values and the 1 of the 5.1, 2 of the 5.2 etc. I created the field in the table (named QuestionSubPosition) and tried to set the formula for it to QuestionPosition % 1 but it does not accept the formula. The part that i do not understand is that i can set the formula to QuestionPosition / 1 it works (but not the results i want). Any ideas on how i can get the results i want Corey ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListBox/polyline error - possibly threads?!?

  i've just discovered a very annoying and unusual error in my application my application draws a series of polylines. for the time being these polylines are hard coded in as strings, and the xaml polyline is binded to this string. i have then got 2 listboxes in my xaml. in my c# code i have a function that splits up the string and then places the x values in the 1st listbox and the y in the 2nd. i have a save button that regenerates the string and so any changes that have been made are now visible on the screen and i have got a delete button that deletes a record and calls the save function. this all works well but i have a problem when i try to add new elements. adding is fine, until there are 10 elements in the list. it then throws a null ...Show All
