• .NET Development Required field in a Web Service

  Hi, I have created a web service with a webMethod like this : ... public Test InsertTest ( Param param ) ... ... public class Param { [ XmlElement ( "PartNumber" )] public String PartNumber; This field should be mandatory when I generated my WSDL file. But I don't know how to do that. Thank you You do not need to delete the minOccurs and maxOccurs attributes from the element declaration to make sure that the element is required, you only need to make sure that minOccurs is > 0. XmlSerializer framework does not provide full explicit control over the minOccurs and maxOccurs attributes, so you cannot use Xml serializer attributes to set them t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Random Integers for Game

  Hey, I've made a game and I wanted to add more chance to it by making the damage you do random, so for instance, I want it so that instead of your guys attack to be set at just 15, it'd be set to randomly select a number 13 - 17. Thanks, hope you guys can help. Yep! That seems about it! It's going to basically just pick a random number from your attack points and inflict it to the opponent... So it'd probably look like this, right Dim DmgRng As New Random() Dim DmgDone As Integer = DmgRng.Next (DmgRngLow, DmgRngHi) I heard you've answered alot of questions! Thanks for answering one more ;)!!! Don't know about the Enthusiast for MS but I can respect you helping me ;)! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UserControl cannot be created using Assembly.CreateInstance

  If you create a UserControl in a CustomControlLibrary and an application loads the assembly that owns the UserControl using Assembly.Load the UserControl cannot be instantiated Note that I just used VS to create the UserControl, did not add or remove anything..... // both of these will fail ConstructorInfo construct = Type.GetConstructor( new Type [0]); Object = construct.Invoke( new object [0]); Object = Type.Assembly.CreateInstance(Type.FullName); The Error: InnerException = {"The component 'CustomControlLibrary1.UserControl1' does not have a resource identified by the URI '/CustomControlLibrary1;component/usercontrol1.xaml'."} How does one work around this Note that the assembly ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Build - next version?

  Hello, does anyone know when a next version of the TFS will be released and which extentions will be made to the Build Automation/Reports - Chris Proper CI support would be useful, so we didn't have to resort to third party "hacks". Specifically what I'd love to see is: - Nightly build (build every night at a specific time) - Continous Build (build project on every check-in) Much of this is possible via third party tools/Windows tools, but it would be great if it was included in the "Create new build" wizard! ...Show All

• Windows Forms DatagridView Combobox column displaying question

  I have a datagridview with a combobox column that containts a list of problem areas. It will display a list of all the problem areas from a lookup table when the combobox is dropped down. My question is, if the value that is in the Database does not exist in the lookup table, it does not display anything. How do I make it go ahead and display what is in the database An alternative way: private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting( object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e) { if (e.ColumnIndex == 3) // your combo column index { e.Value = dt2.Rows[0][1].ToString(); //dt2 is a datatable bound to combo column; } } ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista EventDeliveryFailedException

  Hello. I already asked something similar to this in at least one other thread. And many other Threads ask about this problem This time I'll post real code, so there are no doubts. In the highlighted line the execution stops saying there is an EventDeliveryFailedException. I know for sure the service is registered in an ExternalDataExchangeService. And I'm sure the HandleExternalEventActivity is listening to the right event form the right interface. And I know through Tracking that the HEEA is in execution. I don't know what to do... public class StandardEventEmitter : EventManagementService.EventEmitter, IEvento { public override void RaiseEvent(System.Workflow.Activities.ExternalDataEventArgs externalEventArgs) { if (ev ...Show All

• SQL Server EXEC permission on a SCHEMA COLLECTION???

  I have a permissions problem with a table/procedure that I hope someone can help me with. To set the scene ....... All my procs/tables/functions etc are owned by dbo. I have a windows security group that is granted permissions to EXEC all procs. No one has permissions to tables. I have a table that has an XML column and the column has a schema collection bound to it. The table has a computed column that relies on a function to extract a datetime element from the XML in the XML column and I have an index on this computed column. I have a proc that selects from this table and uses the computed date column for filtering. However, the select statement is build dynamically and uses sp_execute to perform the SELECT.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problems creating the install package

  Hi, i've managed to create the add-in that i want and i can test it on my development machine and it works fine and integrates with other projects well and all is good with the world on that front. however, when i try to build the setup project that visual studio creates for me the compiler tells me that the build has failed and gives me no errors descriptions for some reason. just says failed and gives no reasons! so i had no idea in which direction to look about solving the problem and i've searched the net up and down trying to find something but i just can't get it. i'm sure i'm doing something silly but i can't for the life of me see it. i saw an article about the whole trust and security thing and i've implemented that into my ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't view my project

  Hi, I've been working on a project for the past 2 weeks in Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition. For some reason now when I open my project I can't view any of it. It only has one form but I can't get it to display. When I open the project all that comes up is the Start Page tab, nothing else. I'm not sure I've explained that very well but I hope someone understands what I mean and can help. SlickRed Slickred, i have had some similar problems with my projects. The fix i have had to use before was to Create a new project and then import my files into the new project. That has seemed to work for any major problems i have had. My problems mainly have been forms and code not working. I ho ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I get consistent anchoring behavior across different DPI settings?

  Hello, Our windows forms app is normally run at 96 DPI, but we have one use who uses 120. I can't get text fields to anchor consistently between DPI settings. Once everything is anchored and set up at 96 DPI, when I switch to 120 the fields are all way too short. If I change them at 120 DPI in VS2005 and set them up correctly (by resizing them, checking the anchor settings) then it works at 120 DPI, but is wrong at 96 DPI. The fields I'm having trouble with are text fields inside a group box. The groupbox has its Dock property set to either Top or Fill, depending on the situation. The text fields have their anchoring set to left, top, right. The controls in question are DevXpress controls, but they are based on regular WinForms ...Show All

• Windows Forms Troubleshooting errors after a background worker operation

  I have a simple Windows form with two buttons: - the first button calls a method that throws an exception - the second button runs a background worker whose RunWorkerCompleted event calls the same method that throws an exception My question is why the "Exception was unhandled" window displays in different places depending on whether the method was called via the background worker or not. Without the background worker, the error is displayed where the exception actually happens. When using the background worker, however, Visual Studio displays the error in Program.cs, pointing to the line: Application .Run( new TestApp ()); The latter behavior is not very helpful when debugging. It seems to me that both error wi ...Show All
