• .NET Development wsdl.exe bug for wsdl with shared output message value

  I have generated web service client proxy use wsdl.exe from a wsdl file. But when I try to instantance the the proxy class I get "method XXX can not be reflected" error. I found out the reason seems to be that there is two web service methods that has same value for message attribute in the output element. For example: <operation name="method1"> <output message=" Output " /> </operation> <operation name="method2"> <output message=" Output " /> </operation> Is it a bug in wsdl.exe Because accouding to WSDL standard, the value for message attribute does not have to be unique. Since I can not modify the wsdl file, Is there anyway th ...Show All

• Visual Basic loading form

  good day! how could i associate the progress bar with the .exe file thanks!! God bless Drop a progressbar onto you Form and the properties you are probably going to be using are Visible Maximum, Minimum, Value So general idea is 1. Initialize the maximum and minimum values ( say 100 and 0). 2. Set the value property to its initial value (0) 3. Set the progressbar visible property to true 4. Do you looping process and change the value to its new value between minimum and maximum values 5. When process is complete - set the progressbar visible property to false. Some things which can occur. If you looping process is very very quick then you may find out that the progressbar does ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Express SP1 Setup Changes

  The just released SP1 version of SQL Server Express has a file name of sqlexpr.exe. The previous setup file was named sqlexpr32.exe. Why would Microsoft change the file name Anyway, the file name change obviously breaks the file name that is coded in the bootstrapper package.xml file. Also, the link address will need to change (I suppose Microsoft couldn't just put a new version at the same link with the same file name so that everything would just keep working ) Is there a revised package.xml file we can use If not, do we use the same publickey Are the necessary changes documented anywhere Thanks Russ Stevens Wait! http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/ says: "Since SQL Express is ...Show All

• Visual C# How to remake this in C#...

  Below is code from C++ file i'm trying to convert to C#: DWORD playerUnit[25]; DWORD addr; ReadProcessMemory (pD2, (VOID *)0x6FBCC1E0, &addr, sizeof(addr), &read); ReadProcessMemory (pD2, (VOID *)addr , playerUnit, sizeof(playerUnit), &read); This is my code: byte[] playerUnit = new byte[25]; byte[] bMemory = new byte[100]; IntPtr ptrReaded; ReadProcessMemory(pD2[0].Handle, (IntPtr)0x6FBCC1E0, bMemory, sizeof(byte), out ptrReaded); ReadProcessMemory(pD2[0].Handle, (IntPtr)bMemory, playerUnit, sizeof(byte), out ptrReaded); In the C++ code, I can see that the information read from "0x6FBCC1E0" is stored in "addr."

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO for office 2007

  inVSTO for office 2003 the version of office should be 2003 Pro. Any idea about this issue with VSTO for office 2007. You have to be careful comparing VSTO and VSTO :-) The full VSTO 2005 version for Office 2003 is restricted to the Pro and stand-alone versions of Word and Excel. The VSTO 2005 SE (second edition) that is a free download provides support only for creating Add-ins (just Add-ins, no document-level customizations). And that support is for Office 2003 as well as 2007. These Add-ins can be created and run against any "flavor" of Office. ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting the calling assembly name in the client library

  A client library ( ClientLib.dll) class has a method to derive the calling assembly name as string applicationName = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().GetName().Name; If the above library is referred in Win app or other library, the applicationName is set to calling (entry) assembly name. But when above client library is referred in the webservice assembly (WsAssembly.dll), the entry assembly name is null but the executing assembly name is client library name(ClientLib), ideally I want the applicationName set to WsAssembly. Any ideas on deriving the calling or entry assembly name both for web applications and windows application is appreciated. Thanks Srik no... you should not matter. I tried that.... and in ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. isometric view

  i can use a isometric view with the xna Yes, there is nothing stopping you from writing a game with an isometric view. You will either accomplish that by setting a particular camera position or by creating sprites that use an isometric view. But yes, both methods are entirely possible with XNA but XNA does not do anything in particular to help you accomplish an isometric view. How you achieve the view is entirely up to you. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) svcutil and IDictionary

  I use the /ct option on svcutil to specify the collection types I want it to use for lists and dictionaries: /ct:System.Collections.Generic.IList`1 /ct:System.Collections.Generic.IDictionary`2 The first one works - it generates all generic list types using IList<T>. But the second one does not work. It still uses Dictionary<K, T> instead of the interface I specified. Is this a known problem or am I missing something Thanks... Hi, ReyCri Turns out this is a bug in svcutil, but funny part is the bug is IList<T>. We shouldn't generate class : IList<t> because the generated class won't compile so the Dictioanry<K,T> behavior is expected and when you use IList<T> we should also generat ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Authentication in WinForms

  We are developing a WinForms application which needs to user Windows integrated application authentication. This means that there is no separate user name/password for the application. The user should be able to access the application with his windows security context. Am proposing a design, by which the as and when the user invokes the application the application will check for the 'windowsIdentity' and perform a 'IsAuthenticated' check and allow the user to access the application. Also there is another requirement that the solution should support 'Fast user switching'. Similar to Windows XP's 'Switch user' feature. The problem is I can't use this feature is disabled with Win XP systems which are part of a domain. I cannot upgra ...Show All

  How can you create xml document from dtd using C#2.0. I have to create it using preexisting dtd and not schema. You can convert the dtd to schema and then create a sample xml from the schema. To do that, you can open the dtd in VS 2005 XML Editor and choose Create Schema on the Xml tab. Once you have the schema for it, you can then create a sample snippet in the editor or you can use other tools that generate a sample from a schema. Thanks, Priya ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista tableadapter update inside failed transactionscope doesn't rollback the datatable

  I have a number of tableadapters which must update under one transaction. After a transaction failure I notice that the data in the (SQL Server 2005) database has rolled back but the data in the datatables on the middle tier has not. This creates problems as some of the tables contain data on which other data tables are dependent. In particular, identity fields on these datatables are left populated with the identity from the failed insert. Is there a way to accomplish a rollback of data in these datatables without resorting to datatable.clear() followed by datatable.Add[tablename]row Regards. All the work that gets done against the DataTables (inside DataSets) is accessed through methods ...Show All
