• .NET Development Continued Problems With VS 2005 and Async calls

  So everything I have read says if I add a web refferance to a project it automatically generates a proxy file with the begin and end functions for Async calls, however in vs2005 this is not the case. I see a call named [FunctionName]async but there is little I have found online to explain how to use it and the sites I have found say there should be a complete call in the proxy which it does not have. In order to solve the problem I had to manually generate a proxy file using wsdl.exe and that gave me the traditional begin[functionname] and end[functionname]. Anyone have a clue what the deal is or have a simple example using VS2005 and just adding a web referance Thanks Jackie ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLServer 2005 JDBC Driver - Date rendered correctly on local environment(windows), but not on Websphere server (unix)

  Hi, We are trying to move our application from SQL2005 to SQL2005, we are using 2005 jdbc driver 1.1. The problem we have is, when a date is retrieved from the database, only the year part got correctly, but the date is automatically set to January 1 of that year. The interesting thing is this problem doesn't occur on local development environment (developer's windows platform), it only happens when we deploy the application to production server (unix). Does anyone know what is going on, how to fix it Thanks. Cathie We are experiencing the same problem. We use IBM VM V1.4.2. The problem can be reproduced even in standalone applications, using DriverManager directly. The problem doesn't ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I get a URL from a web search

  I am using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express. I want to be able to click a button that will start a browser to search the web, [eventually] returning the URL to my program. I.e., a function like the "Create Hyperlink" in MS Office products. I find that I can't access the Internet Explorer object model as I would in Visual Basic, response.redirect doesn't seem to have a parameter to create a separate browser session, and neither this nor a hyperlink offer any way of getting the URL back (unless I'm missing something). So I seem to be stuck. Can anybody help Regards, Robert Barnes Thanks Spotty, I'll try that. It is often very difficult to work out which forum one should post to - I would have thou ...Show All

• Windows Forms BindingSource.AddNew from a DataGridView

  I have a DataGridView bound to a BindingSource whose DataSource has been filled from a SQL table. A dgv popup menu offers an 'insert a copy' option, ie it allows the user to insert a new row initialised to values in the row under the mouseclick. I cannot insert rows at dgv level because direct dgv inserts are not permitted when a dgv is bound; evidently .NET 2 evidently wants me to use BindingSource.AddNew. Very well, I add a handler to be called by BindingSource.AddNew ... bindSrcMaster.AddingNew += new AddingNewEventHandler(bindSrcMaster_AddingNew); The popup menu item event handler for CopyRow can figure out which dgv row to copy ... private void CopyRow(object sender, EventArgs e) { ToolStripItem menuItem = sender as ToolStripItem ...Show All

• .NET Development Cryptic exception...A call to SSPI failed...

  Hi All, Been working this issue for a few days now, here's the deal. I have a bit of VB.NET code that uses an SslStream object to communicate with a Java application over SSL. The Java application uses JSSE to facilitate SSL. The VB.NET SslStream code works fine on any machine thus far except for one. On this particular machine, when the VB.NET code calls the AuthenticateAsClient method, the following exception is raised: System.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationException: {"A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception."} Data: {System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal} HelpLink: Nothing InnerException: {"Invalid flags specified"} Message: "A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception."

• Visual Studio Express Editions Clean Install of Framework 3.0 + VS Express Editions

  Are they compatible , should I install first the Framework 3.0 and then VS Express . This's a clean install in a xp sp2 machine. Sorry, and one more : Which version of framework is embedded in the VS Express Edition install Thanks! from Argentina! Express is based on .Net 2.0. And .Net 3.0 is also based on .Net 2.0. 3.0 uses the same base class libraries it just adds new technologie WPF (aka Avalon), WCF (aka Indigo), WF (workflow). So you should be fine installaling them both. Starting with .Net 3.0 should be OK. -- SvenC ...Show All

• Visual C++ what is the difference between a fatal error and a "non-fatal" error?

  this is my understanding of it but im not sure if i am right. fatal error: this kind of an error causes the program to crash as soon as its encountered. therefore, if a fatal error is encountered in the third line of a 100 line program, only the fatal error will be displayed and you will be told that your program has just one error (assuming there are no errors in the first two lines) even if there are 40 more errors in your program from line 3 to line 100. this is because, like i said before, as soon as it encounters the fatal error on line 3, it stops and doesnt go looking for errors any further. this means that when u get a fatal error and fix it, the compiler does not stop at line 3 but then goes on and finds the other 40 erro ...Show All

• Visual C++ ATL IDispEventSimpleImpl reverse order bug still present in VC++ 2005 ????

  I'm cross-posting my question to this forum (original here : http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1173728&SiteID=1 ) as it seems that ATL is also mentionned here. Sorry, if it's a bad practice ! I'm currently implementing an event sink with IDispEventSimpleImpl. I have the same problems than the ones described in KB288724 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/288724/en-us ), I'm receiving arguments in reverse order. What is confusing me is that this rather "old" knowledge base article applied only to Visual C++ 6.0. By looking into atlcom.h from VC++ 2005, it seems that IDispEventSimpleImpl::InvokeFromFuncInfo is the one described in the workaround section of KB288724, but I'm not sure with IDispEventImpl: ...Show All
