• .NET Development Problem Making Requests to a non-.NET Web Service

  I'm attempting to utilize a web service written in something other than .NET. (Not sure what it is... probably J2EE.) I grabbed the WSDL via VS.NET (I'm using .NET 2.0, btw) and it created the proxy classes. When I make the request the remote server just returns an empty request body. After poking around a bit I discovered that their example SOAP request and my actual SOAP request differed quite a bit. First, their namespace prefix differed from mine. Their's is SOAP-ENV and mine is of course just SOAP. I assume that's fine. But then it gets more strange. The particular method I'm calling is called makePurchase. My SOAP request, however, looks like: <soap:Envelope ...> <soap:Body> <Purchase> Their example SOAP req ...Show All

• Visual Basic MAIL MERGE VB.NET TO WORD (DATASET)

  Hi. Thanks in advance for any help. I have an application which is connected to an Access database. I run a query and I want to mail merge the "results" into Word. I have looked at other examples, but they include the actual location of the database. I need to basically send the contents of the dataset, after the query, to Word.

• Windows Forms Property gird and Data grid in .net 2.0

  Hi, I have to develop a property grid kind of control for our application. This should be able to change to data grid view and as well as property grid. If the user wants to see the data in Data Grid view mode, he just can click icon shown at the titlebar of the Property Grid control near Close (X) button. The data should be shown in the data grid. Can we customize the property grid to achieve this func.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. .X features supported in XNA?

  Hi, I'm currently working on a .x exporter for XSI with shader support. However I have some questions regarding exactly what features are supported in XNA. Setting the technique in the .x file does not seem to work: EffectParamDWord { "technique"; 3; } XNA always renders using the first technique in the shader, unless you manually set it with Effect.CurrentTechnique :( Also what part and version of DXSAS is supported It would be nice if semantics used in e.g. FxComposer just worked with XNA, e.g things like: float4x4 WorldIT : WorldInverseTranspose; float4x4 WorldViewProj : WorldViewProjection; float4x4 World : World ; float4x4 ViewI : ViewInverse ; Or do you have to manually parse all effect param ...Show All

• .NET Development Remoting - GetChannelSinkProperties - error IDictionary requires to 2 type arguments

  Hi readers - <moved to this new thread> The following code is widely quoted (text book and web) as how to send credentials over to IIS for Windows authentication: IDictionary channelProperties = ChannelServices.GetChannelSinkProperties(amazingRemoteObject); channelProperties["credentials"] = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials; However, this results in the following error: Error 8 Using the generic type 'System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary<TKey,TValue>' requires '2' type arguments P:\Projects\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\TestServer\TSConsole\Program.cs 30 17 TSConsole I can declare the types for the generic using <sometype, sometype> syntax but I don't know what types the pro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to set email alert for checkin policy violation

  Hi, In Team->Project Alerts, there're only four options but no one for checkin policy violation. I'd like to set email notification for any checkin policy violation. May I get help with this here Thanks, Frank Hi there is no alert in the list for that, you must do it using the events in Tfs, you must create a webservice for subscribing it to the CheckinEventType, in this event you will recieve the details of the checkin, and also the overriden policies, the messages, and the reasons. If you haven't used before the eventing service check the MSDN for samples on that, and also download the Visual studio 2005 SDK. Maybe it can be done also with normal subscription and filter, but I think ...Show All

• .NET Development Step By Step explanation of the .Net Remoting

  Hi All, I am the novice in the .Net Remoting i have read about the remoting but its confusing me,So can any one tell me the explanation of the Remoting along with code. Thanks That's a tall order - you can write an entire book on the subject. How about this: in order to make it possible for someone to help you without writing a whole book, why don't you explain everything you have understood so far about remoting, and highlight the areas currently confusing you. This will make it possible to write you an explanation that takes into account where you've got to so far, and that directly addresses the areas you most need explained right now. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding the TabItem Content

  Hi! In the below sample I am trying to bind the TabItems of a TabControl to a CollectionView called EntityCollection. The objects in the collection inherit ApplicationEntity which has the properties Name and Container. Name is a string and container is a UserControl. As you can see I am trying to bind the Header of the TabItem to Name and the Content to Container. It seems silly simple to me! But it does only partially work. Here's the problem: The binding works fine. My CollectionView contains two items (subclasses to ApplicationEntity - one called HomeEntity and the other called PlanEntity) and the Name property binds butifully. It is the Content binding that fails. No matter what I try the Content of the TabItem ALLWAYS becomes the .ToS ...Show All

• Windows Forms Visual Studio Installer - insert License Agreement Dialog

  I am trying to create a simple installer program and wanted to insert a license agreement. I have added a new license dialog, then added the license file in RTF format to the installer project and specified the LicenseFile property of the License Agreement Dialog box. I rebuilded the whole project and still did not see the license text shows up in the dialog. No build errors or warning are reported. What could be wrong Thanks in advance Matador139 Thread moved to the appropriate forum. Interesting. I've never had this. you are sure that there is text in the license file Usually it would complain if there was no file to be found but obviously seems like you attached it appropriately. ...Show All

• .NET Development Round Trip with ILDASM ILASM fails for strong named assemblies

  Hi, I have written a little tool that does decompile an unsigned assembly and updates the assembly references with a predefined public key token. .assembly extern System.Management { .publickeytoken = (B0 3F 5F 7F 11 D5 0A 3A ) .ver 2:0:0:0 } I do simply insert inside every reference the .publickeytoken if not yet present. This way I can sign my assemblies whenever I want without any changes to my current project. It works very nice but for some reason I cannot use the Enterprise Library (Jan 2006) fully. When I deserialize a e.g. LoggingSettings configuration object from App.Config it fails with the following error: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: An error occurred creating the configuration sect ...Show All

• Visual C# Understanding Threading

  I am trying to understand threading... its been hunting me ever since c and pythong.. and now c# and I can't hide from it anymore... I was wondering if some one can show me a really simple threaded snippet and explain it to me if ok... as we speak Im creaing a pdf file about threads.. but It's being a pain. I need some baby steps here.. and this is one of the only place to look for help.. besides other forums that I know. I think the OP simply asked to illustrated how threading can be incorporated into their example not if threading is feasible or not in the given context. The term expensive is used because starting up a thread does use resources hence expensive operation. If you read that pdf it explains everything in it. One ...Show All

• SQL Server ScriptComponent with multiple ReadOnly variables

  I'm having trouble with a script component in which I'm trying to use two ReadOnlyVariables. If I use only one of the two variables, everything works without issue. If I use both of the variables (as part of a comma-delimited list) I get the following: The variable cannot be found. This occurs when an attempt is made to retrieve a variable from the Variables collection on a container during execution of the package, and the variable is not there. The variable name may have changed or the variable is not being created. I don't believe the variables themselves are the problem. Both are scoped to the package level and I can use either of them if I have it as the only variable. Seems bug-like, but thought I'd get some ideas before pursuing t ...Show All
