• .NET Development Web Service calling another web service - Scope problems

  I have a web service that I wrote and a class library that it uses. A function in it returns a Status object. Now when I call this web service from another web service, I have the Status object from 2 different namespaces. Like the following. Lib.Status and Inventory.Status. These objects are really the same thing, but I cannot assign one to the other and in the inventory one, I don't even have all the member functions that status has in it. Can someone advise on what to do or on a diffent way or doing things so that this doesn't happen. Thanks No... it won't apply in the computers in where the SIE is not registered. The SIE must be registered in the machine.config of client comput ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Daily Usage of VE

  Hi, My company has been buying MWS transactions for the last year and a half. We switched some of our maps over to VE (perhaps prematurely) and we're worried that as we increase volume we may hit the 5000 per day limit. This would be devastating as it's not so easy to determine when we hit the 5000 limit (to trigger a revert to the old MWS maps). That said, our MWS transaction provider indicated that there's a "Savings Account" that we should pay into to ensure we're compilant with VE commercial usage. He also said that there's currently no way to increase daily usage above the 5000 per day limit. This could really hamper our growth as we've begun to merge our application with the VE maps (i.e. move functiona ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Client Source Control Explorer

  Can the (lite) Team Foundation Client operate the checkout/add folder/add files functions of Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC)   We might like to use TFVC for both our source code and related technical documentation created and managed by our developers and business analysts.  When running within the Visual Studio 2005 IDE the TFVC source control explorer allows me to create new folders and add non-source files to version control and checkout/checkin versions. However the features to add new folders and files or checkout files for edit are disabled when the Beta 3 Team Foundation Client is run on a machine that does not have the full VS 2005 IDE .  It does allow numerous other version control features such as ...Show All

• SQL Server Limiting Results from MDX query

  Is there any way to specify that I only want the last 16 rows of an MDX query Thanks. Thank you so much Mosha! You just saved me hours of frustration.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Restart Game?

  Hi, I'd like to know how to be able to restart the game being coded. My game is somewhat simple and I just want it to be restarted when the user loses and then, lets say, he presses [ENTER]. Thanks. Restarting the game is generally done by reseting the values and starting the main loop again in your code, as this varys depending on how you are coding we can not really show you how. One way in your code is to have a game state enum, then in your render loop you would have it render different sections based on the game state. When you need to restart you would just set the game state to game starting or something simular. ...Show All

• .NET Development Quick way of determining a date from a string?

  Hi all, I have a .NET 1.1 application that needs to be able to very quickly determine if a string is a date. I can not use Exception handling here (i.e. as you would using DateTime.Parse) as it is expensive and there is only a 1% chance that the string will be a date with potentially tens of thousands of strings being checked. Do you guys have any suggestions Regards, Stephen. And the .NET 2.0 version uses DateTime.TryParse(). Watch out for regular expressions, you're not dealing with the current culture, nor with local overrides of the short date/time format. The latter is a breaking issue I'd say. Either upgrade or do it the .NET 1.1 way. Catching Exception is correct by the way, IsDate() shoul ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VB 2005 - Compositing Operations (C.O.)

  Hello Community! I'm quite new in VB (just since November06 ) and I'm looking for a fast way to overlap greyscale bitmaps in VB2005 (i.e. for every pixel R=G=B). I tryed to use the alpha-blending tchnique but it doesn't fit my porpouses (after I perform the C. O. the overlapping region is darkned). I would like the overlapping process to be a lightening process (the resultant color is always at least as light as either of the two costituent colors). In particular overlapping any color with white should produce white. Overlapping any color with black should leave the original color unchanged. I found an interesting program in VB6 that seems to to that http://www.vbaccelerator.com/home/VB/Code/vbMedia/Image_Processing/Compositing/arti ...Show All

• .NET Development HttpWebrequest Post

  Hello Im trying to upload a file to a https address using the getRequestStream method of the httpWebRequest class. The code appears to work fine and no exceptions are thrown, but the file does not appear to have uploaded to the server. The stream is working as it should. The server requires authentification via a public key, which i have and is installed. I have used the CreateFromCertFile method of the X509Certificate to add the certificate to the WebRequests client certificates. I belive this method extracts the public key from the certificate If I try and call the GetResponse method, an exception is thrown - The remote server returned an error : (401) Unauthorized.

• .NET Development Calling Win32 API from Assembly Language

  How do I call a win32 API function from assembly language Basically I need to call functions from kernel32.dll from assembly language. Win32 APIs are just stdcall C functions , so this is a specific instance of a more general question: how to call a C-function form another DLL w/ stdcall calling convention from assembly. In general, The easiest way to answer "how do i do X" in assembly is to do X in C and then look at the generated assembly from the C compiler under a debugger (in Visual Studio, you can right click and do "Show Disassembly". The exact syntax will depend on your assembler. ...Show All
