• .NET Development Web Service Flow Control Between Calls

  Hi, I'm running into a problem using web service tech. I have 2 methods published as AddCustomer and AddSales on the web (web service). Those 2 methods will add a record on table Customer and table Sales respectively. Table Sales has reference to the table Customer (CustomerId). Now if I called the 2 method with this order: 1. AddCustomer 2. AddSales It works because the customer is already added to the table Customer and no referential error when the method AddSales invoked. But when calling these methods, with the above order, simultaneously it generates referential error. For example, I call these methods from 2 different computer continuously. Can anyone help me with this Regards You have 2 choice ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Description query fails when trying to run.

  I have a search query setup. It's pretty simple, it runs against the current project and looks at the Description field for specific text. If I run the same query against the title field everything works with no problems. When I run the query, an error comes up stating 'stating there is a problem on the server. Contact your team foundation administrator.' Well I recently fell into that position, so I'm trying to address the problem. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot the problem. Any help would be welcome. aaron Can you look at the event log on the application tier machine and see if there are any hints of what went wrong I think you may need to enable full text indexing for the long text fields. The column ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merge doesn't work after top level directory rename?

  I did a simple branch from: $/Top/Dir2 TO $/Top/Versions/Dir2 I had added some code to the tree. I renamed $/Top/Versions/Dir2 to $/Top/VersionsV0.0/Dir2 I then tried to merge from /Top/VersionsV0.0/Dir2 to the top of tree $/Top/Dir2 and it gave me all sorts or errors about it not being able to merge. I rolled back the rename and then tried the merge and it worked fine. Is merge not supposed to work after a simple rename Thanks When it was renamed, were you trying to merge through the UI or also with "tf merge" There's a chance that it's just a bug in the UI wizard and the command line will handle it fine. ...Show All

• .NET Development Web services / Hosted Controls catch 22

  We have created a Hosted .Net Control that uses web services to talk to an IIS server. Works great; except behind an Microsoft ISA proxy server that expects authentication. The user gets a 407 Proxy Authentication failed. Through exhaustive searches of the internet we have concluded that the answer should be something like: WebProxy proxy = ( WebProxy ) WebRequest .DefaultWebProxy; proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; webserviceProxy.Proxy = proxy; However, this approach fails because of a CAS security exception System.Net.WebPermission. This seems to be caused by violation of the Intranet_Same_Site_Access or Internet_Same_Site_Access in the internet and “local intranet” sandbox that we are t ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Question "Disambiguate a location"

  I couldn't find much on this in SDK documentation... I'm trying to code a function that if there is a match to a searched location the map zooms to that location and a marker with appropriate text is created (this part is easy thanks to the post by CelebT) but I'm struggling to find a work around for cases where more than one match is found. Find(); returns a list of possible matches but the marker is put only on the first location on that list. Is there a way to: 1. stop drawing a marker until the user makes the selection and the map zooms to that location 2. "recycle" the information returned (ie text plus info which location from the list was selected by the user) Thanks Rusty ...Show All

• Visual C++ When "It just works!" doesn't. :(

  Hi, To test out "C++ Interop", I created a static library in VC++ 6.0: Here is the contents of the header file (staticLibrary.h): #ifndef STATICLIBTEST_H #define STATICLIBTEST_H #include <string> using std::string; int add352(int value); string sayHello(string name); #endif Here is the implementation (staticLibrary.cpp): #include "staticLibrary.h" int add352(int value) { return value + 352; } string sayHello(string name) { string s1("Hello, you are the greatest, "); return (s1 + name + "!\n"); } This code compiles fine in VC++ 6.0 and it produces an object called "staticLibrary.lib ...Show All

• SQL Server GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperties vs GetSubscriptionProperties

  Is there a similar method for Data Driven Subscriptions like there is for plain subscriptions ListSubscriptions. I would like to get SubscriptionID for use with the GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperties just as I do for GetSubscriptionProperties.

• Visual Studio Permission for VB developer in Windows XP

  What is the least permission for a VB developer to compile their software on Windows XP Professional Permission in which way User level or file access level If it's file access then you need write permission.

• .NET Development Trace Helper Tool

  The BCL page specifies a Trace Helper Tool but the information seems quite outdated (it refers to Beta 2 of the 2.0 Framework), is this tool available Or is there any word on when it will be available From http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa569603.aspx : Trace Helper Tool (Coming Soon!) We've added a lot of new features to Tracing in V2.0. A group of testers in the CLR team got together and developed a tool (TraceHelper.exe) that uses these tracing features. Below are the details of this tool and a zipped file of the tool which can be downloaded. This has been built on Beta2 of V2.0 of the framework. TraceHelper is a convenient tool that can be used with applications that use .NET tracing. This too ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Was solved

  I created .crd for X509 certificate (using hex thumbprint) but failed to use it to authenticate getting error message box "The certificate associated with this card could not be found" and nothing in event log. The certificate seems properly trusted, has corresponding private key, located in CurrentUser/Personal (in LocalMachine/Personal too) keystore and can be found by >findprivatekey.exe My CurrentUser -t "d47de657fa4902555902cb7f0edd2ba9b05debb8" that was shipped with some of Cardspace sample STSs' So the questions are: 1.

What the requirements to SmartCard hardware ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problem returning from dialog box subroutine

  I must be missing something very basic here. I have a text box in a dialog box and want to warn the user when he clicks OK and the text box is still empty. The code below takes the path that I want when there is no text in the text box, but for some reason, the dialog box exits anyway even though the Me.Close() function is not executed. There must be some way to validate the entries on the dialog box after OK is clicked but before the subroutine exits. What am I doing wrong Private Sub OK_Button_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK_Button.Click If NameTextBox.Text = "" Then MsgBox( "You must enter a name" , MsgBoxStyle.Critical, "Status" ) ...Show All
