• .NET Development Is there a tool for sending SOAP?

  Hi Forum I really like the SOAP trace utility in the SOAP tool kit. It is great I can see both the SOAP request and the response. I'm missing one feature in the SOAP trace utility. I would like to be able to send a request manually. I could live with just a textbox where I could put in SOAP and press a send button and see the response. Does anyone know a tool like that I believe it would help me faster understand versioning and XML deserialization issues. Hi, there are some good tools here: http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/tools/web_svc/default.aspx . Including WebServiceStudio which lets you send test requests based on the WSDL (it also has an open text box for filling in the request). ...Show All

• Visual C# Exclamation Icon cursor in IDE

  Hi, Anyone know why, when I load my c# project into VS2005, my cursor flashes as a exclamation icon (yellow triangle with black exclamation mark) This is very fast and may (or may not) do it every time. I can't see any obvious warning messages anywhere, everything appears to work. It's a real "did I just see that " thing - it's that fast, but it does happen quite often. Someone, somewhere, coded it to do that. It probably took some time to do. Shame it's not at all apparent why ! Ross, Do you have your cursors mapped in a custom way I don't know of any VS component that will show a colored cursor like the one you describe. Thanks, Anson ...Show All

• Visual C++ Creating XLS (Excel files) without .Net framework or excel on the box

  I need to creat XLS files with fonting and formating without .Net framework or even excel on the machine that will eventually be running my application. My company already faces resistance to our applications being loaded on clients machines. It would be impossible to tell our clients they need to install the appropriate framework on all of their users desktops. Does anyone know of an API/DLL available or can point me to information needed to write to the format I have already looked at "Automation". Thanks Ray The scope of this forum ...Show All

• .NET Development Whats up with the EventLog class?

  I am trying to iterate through the EventLog, here is an example: EventLog appLog = new EventLog("Application"); foreach(EventLogEntry entry in appLog.Entries) { } First error I get is that no overloaded EventLog type accepts 1 string parameter. So I try all of the different overloaded constructors (stringName), (stringName, machineName), (stringName, machineName, sourceName), but all of them give me the same error. So I create the class without using an overloaded constructor, but I still get this error: EventLog does not contain a definition for "Entries". It is documented, it is in intellisense. I have tried it on several computers with the same outcome. What am I missing Have you got another class is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Looking for Graphics/Painting libraries (free or commercial)

  Hi Friends-- I've been working on building some routines for a small painting application. Not looking to reinvent the wheel, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a painting/graphics library. Free is great, but if there is a good commercial library/SDK/API out there, I'd like to consider it as well. Anyone have any suggestions Thanks! Hello jerfoo! If you are looking for libraries to run under VB 2005 you will probably need to get a comercial one. There are several excellent free graphics libraries (relying on OpenGL, DirectX, both or neither) but they are intended to be used under C and/or C++ and are mainly focused on games and GUI. You didn't specify but I think that it is not your case, ...Show All

• .NET Development transaction scope with oracle produces a distributed transaction?

  Hello everyone, I am developing a project against oracle, i must use local transactions because i don't have any distribution, so what i want to know is if i use ado querys against oracle 9 into a transaction scope are they promoted to distributed Is there a way to know if a transaction is distributed or not an msdtc viewer or something Thanks so much When using System.Data.OracleClient with TransactionScope, your transactions will always be distributed. When you use the term "promoted", I'm not sure if you are referring to the new promotable transactions that are available with SqlClient and SQL Server 2005, but if so, that functionality is not available against Oracle.
