• .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 Hi, I am not sure what attributes are you after, but if you want attributes like version number, languate,...etc. have a look at the FileVersionInfo . GetVersionInfo Hope this helps. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to return the complement of a set with an XPath expression ?

  Is it possible to write an XPath expression to return the relative complement of A in B (ie the set of all elements which are members of B, but not members of A) Here is an example: From the xml file below I would like to return the set of all pet elements in the genus 'canis', which do not have elements in other genera with pets of the same name. ie snoopy is the only dog without a namesake in another genus. < xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no" > <Pets> <Genus name="canis"> <Pet name="snoopy" /> <Pet name="fred" /> <Pet name="lassie" /> </Genus> <Genus name="felis"> <Pet nam ...Show All

• Visual Basic Print text to a form

  IN Vb 6.0, using the Print command would print whatever text you put onto the form. Im wondering how you would do that same thing in VB2005 because apparently the command had changed... thank you Hi DeborahK, This posting was very helpful in trying to get a form scaled and printed. Thank you for the posting. I've come across one little difficulty with it that I hope you can assist me with and resolve. The first request goes thru very quickly. Subsequent prints take longer and longer. I have discovered by putting a Beep() statement and the beginning of the subroutine, the first it goes through the subroutine it beeps once, each time the subroutine is called again it beeps an additional time.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Impersonation and/or AppPool Identity Failing

  I'm hosting my WCF service inside IIS6. My app is running within its own app pool, with configured identity as Administrator. In my web.config, I've set <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>. I'm using basicHttpBinding, and do not want to impersonate the client's identity, as I'm calling some priviledged operations. I've also marked my service implementation with [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Required)], and marked my methods with [OperationBehavior(Impersonation=ImpersonationOption.Required)]. The contract operation 'DoSomething' requires Windows identity for automatic impersonation. A Windows identity that represents the caller is not provided ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System trouble referencing %(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild)

  I'm trying to reference the value of %(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild). I am getting either no resolution or blank. <TestValue>%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild)</TestValue> doesn't get evaluated and $(TestValue) is returned as "%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild)". I've made a successful reference only in the message task: <Message Text="Flavor=%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild)" />. This is confusing to me also, as I understood ConfigurationToBuild to be an ItemGroup, which should require the prefix"@" for referencing. Can someone clear me up on what I'm doing wrong THX Curt Zarger Think of <PropertyGroup> properties as "decl ...Show All

• Gadgets Need Help Refreshing My Gadget.

  Hi, I'm almost finished with a gadget that shows a new "game of the hour" every 60 seconds. The thing is, is that I don't have a way to get it to refresh the gadget every 60 seconds. I've tried Meta tag refresh tags, java-script refresh tags, and a solution I found on these forums a little while ago, and nothing seems to be working. Any help would be appreciated. I've seen folks have problems using document.write inside a gadget; I attribute it to the following warning: "You should not use the write or writeln methods on the current document after the document has finished loading unless you first call the open method, which clears the current document's window and erases all variables."

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Where are the Windows Forms controls equivalents?

  Hi, I was wondering if we are going to see equivalents of the Windows Forms Controls and Windows Forms capabilities in WPF. Although WPF seems impressive, it lags the Windows Forms power and its also counteractive. You can make you own button as you would like it, and just use it as: <MyControls:MyButton Image=XXXX>YYYY</MyControls:MyButton> Or you can make templates. -Its flexible and easy. Also remember that WinFX isn't even released. Imagine what the 3rd party control developers will be able to supply. Best regards, Thomas Andersen ...Show All

• SQL Server Invoking a web service using MSSOAPLib from a SQL Server CLR Procedure

  Hi, I need to invoke a web service from a CLR procedure without adding a web reference. I'm using MSSOAPLib for doing this. I am able to do this from a desktop application, but it doesnt seem to work in a SQL Procedure. The execution just seems to hang at the code ' SoapClient soapClient = new SoapClient (); '. There is no exception either, as the error message doesn't get logged in the catch block. I'm also unable to debug the procedure using the remote debugger provided with vs2005. It gives me a warning saying 'The breakpoint will not current be hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document'. I have registered the assembly as UNSAFE.
