• .NET Development How to read Assembly Level attributes of asp.net 2.0 project

  Hello, We are converting our project from 1.1 to 2.0, and we are using reflection to retreive the Assembly version and present it in the UI. Due to the new compilation model, the existing code does not work. Is there a way to do this in 2.0 Thanks for your input You can't access the assembly of the web-site itself, because each folder has it's own assembly, and it's not named after the site. You could try experimenting with the MSBuild options to use fixed name assemblies. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System [Urgent Help needed] VSTS unable to log into ADFS!

    Hi All, First of all, here is what the performance rig is like 1) Two webservers in clustered environment on a subnet. 2) One ADFS server in the same subnet as the webservers for authentication. 3) One DB server on the same subnet. When user navigates to the http://webserver/ they are redirected to the http://ADFS/ machine which would display the user a page where he/she would choose their federation server, once they choose their federation server this page would place a cookie and would not be displayed next time user is redirected for authentication. After choosing the fedration server user is presented with a login page which is hosted on the ADFS box, user would put their CORRECT user name and password ...Show All

• Visual C# How to force writing to label.text and textBox.text in a loop at runtime?

  I have a loop doing some I/O. I want to see the progress. What I've ususally done in VFP, for instance, is to direct some output to a label.Caption property, I mean, just the loop vairable, the counter. I also want some limited text info appear in a textBox like the stock symbol: "AIG" for example. It works in VFP but not in C# as I found out. While the while loop is going through the cycles no output appears. Once it is done, I see the last cycle output. Can I force it to show all cycles Some potential loss of performance is no factor in here. I can set up a progress control, I guess. I may end up doing it too. I am more used to this method. It gives me a feeling of having better monitoring control. Also the progress ma ...Show All

• SQL Server Sql 2005, x64 box, bad performance on data import

  We are importing 5 millon records from a legacy ssytem into sql 2005, x64 eiditon (box has 8GB of RAM, dual cpu, triple-bonded NICs). We are getting terrible perofmance (say 150 records/sec imported). We have not been able to determine the "bottleneck" I have set the database we are importing into to use "Bulk Logged" mode. We will see if this has any impact. Do you have any other general suggestions for the sql side for how to improve import performance TIA, barkingdog 5 mil records is not a big deal. DTS is definetely slow. Even slower with SQL 2005. I have had to move about 5-600 mil rows across tables. The quickest way would be to BCP OUT the data into multiple ...Show All

• Visual Studio Building solution with multiple platforms

  Hi, I'm currently implementing a project whereby I want to build a big VS solution through automation, containing C++ and C# projects. However C# and C++ uses different platforms, causing only some of the projects to build when using the VS automation interface. The solution builds fine from the IDE when "Mixed Platforms" is selected before building the main project. The automation application is currently set up to build this same project. How do I specify the "Mixed Platforms" option through the automation interface I have tried changing the dependency settings, to no avail. Thanks Thanks, that worked. However, the item name is the file name of the project (i.e. zzz.csproj), and I h ...Show All

• .NET Development CreateParameter give bad performance

  We are working with MSSQL 2005 and ado.net framework 1 .1 During our performance tests over large DB (~1M records) I found out that when I run one of our queries, with embeded values in the query -string, instead of using the CreateParametr method, the query ran 40 times faster!!! The parameters are 2 strings (~30 characters) , the type in database is varchar(255). Wh at can cause such a huge difference in the execution time This is our AddParameter source: public void AddParameter( object parameterValue) { string paramName; IDataParameter IParam; //For string that is empty do nothing means null is entered to field. if (((parameterValue is string ) && (parameterValue.ToString( ...Show All

  I need to restrict the input in a text box to '0 to 9' max 10 digits or 'NA' max 2 char. allowing for the backspace. Can anyone suggest the best method.

• Visual Studio Namespace-level comments in Sandcastle?

  Hi Anand, We have been using NamespaceDoc.cs to supply namespace-level comments to NDoc. Does Sandcastle allow for namespace-level comments If not, is there a plan to incorporate them at some point Thanks, Richard Richard, We do not support such a feature currently. All I was saying was to include comment at the namspace or roolt levl in your code and it will show up. I will be happy to look at this nDoc implementation to see if we can support something similar for our RTW. Anand.. ...Show All
