• Visual C# In C#, how should I use a VB ocx that is dependent on a win32 dll ?

  Hi, I am trying to use a VB ocx control in C#. Internally the ocx control makes use of a C++ dll. I have done the following 1. Registered the ocx 2. Included the component in VS .Net IDE tool bar. But when I try to drag and drop the control I am getting an error "Failed to import the ActiveX control. Please ensure it is registered properly." I am using .Net Visual Studio 2005 Looks like there is some problem in creating the wrapper for the ocx. After drag and drop, under Project->References the wrapper is not available.

• SQL Server Lookup Task Datatype issue

  Hello: I'm attempting to use the lookup task and i'm running into an issue about incompatible datatypes. The table that i'm referencing in the lookup has a field named DateCreated, and it's DataType is DateTime. But when I hook it up to the Lookup Task, the lookup task thinks it's a DB_Timestamp, so i get an incompatible data type error. What can i do Duane: Thanks for your reply.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF equivalent to MapPath?

  Is there a WCF equivalent to MapPath I have some specific files that will be in the directory where the service is running. My question stems from the fact that MapPath bacially is called from a static HttpContext. I understand that this isn't a problem if the service is hosted in IIS but will there be an HttpContext for all hosting environments What would be the safest way to get the "root" directory of a WCF service Thank you. Kevin Burton HttpContext .Current.Server.MapPath There is an HttpContext only when webhosted in aspnetCompatibilityMode, see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa702682.aspx for details. I don't think there is an equivalent for other hosting environments. ...Show All
