• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Upgrading Web Services Client

  Hi, I'm researching a possible scenario as follows: I have a web service running on top of ASP.NET 2.0. I have a client consuming that web service using the Add Web Reference menu. I'm now building the same web service on top of WCF. Means that I have the same signatures implemented in Service/Operation Contract, and the codes are moved into the single implementation. The question is, is is possible for the client to use the new web service on top of WCF without recompiling/changing the code Assume that the address of the endpoint is modifiable via the configuration file. I have tried changing the address directly to the WCF endpoint address, but receives an error 415: Media Type Unsupported. Anyone have done doing thi ...Show All

• .NET Development Saving objects in a DataTable extendproperties to an XML file

  I am having trouble saving any object rather than something simple like a collection of strings included as part of a Datatable's extendedproperties. I use the single line command:- dataSet.WriteXml(xmlfilename, XmlWriteMode .WriteSchema); which admirably does what I want in all cases where I have an extendedproperty collection like:- < xs:element name = " Land_x0020_use " msprop:SymbolLink = "" msprop:Type = " Area Group " msprop:CharID = " A " msprop:TextLink = "" > when saved into an XML file. My problem is if the elements are not strings but more complicated cobjects like:- public class MyObject : Object { [ XmlAttribute ()] ...Show All

• SQL Server File growth problem in 2005

  Have a database, one filegroup with one datafile and one log file. However, restarted the box and saw that the growth settings for the datafile was changed from 100Mb increments to 25600%. The logfile is still the same at 200Mb as required. Both have unlimited growth. Looking at sysfiles in the database, growth is 25600 for the log and data file. In Management Studio I cannot change the setting for the data file (log file still shows 200Mb growth increments), Studio tells me "Value 25600 is not valid for Value. Value should be between Minimum and Maximum. Any thoughts Cant really have a database sitting with this growth rate, and cannot change the value in sysfiles either (even with sp_configure etc). Any ideas Thanks ...Show All

• SQL Server Dataset

  hey guys, I created a dataset using a design view of the MDX query designer. As you know, in the filter pane of the MDX query, there is check box if you want to parameterized your report. When I checked that option, SQL Server created a dataset specifically for the report parameter. So my question is that I can see this dataset in the data tab of the report designer but not in the Report Datasets list. Do you have any idea why this happened waiting to hear soon. Sincerely, Amde Hey Robert, I really appreciate your assistance. I got the solution. By the way removing the rd:AutoGenerated element from the rdl file didn't help me to see the dataset. What I did is changing the hidden propert ...Show All

• Visual Basic DirectoryInfo Class Question

  I need to store the contents of a directory at different intervals and compare them for changes. The FileSystemWatcher class has too much overhead that I just dont need - in addition, it has admitted flaws with buffer overruns and what not. My objective: have 2 variables of type DirectoryInfo. Compare them for various changes (file changes, additions, deletions). My concern is that both variables will always have the latest/greatest directory information making the point of comparing them stupid. Is this the case If so, is there something in the documentation that details this. I couldnt find it. Thanks in advance. Er Eric66, What about the DirectoryInfo.GetFileSyste ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Transfer Database task not transferring keys

  I set up a basic Transfer Database task (online, copy) to copy a DB. It works great except for the fact that it isn't transferring the PK's and FK's. It also looks like it did not transfer the views. Any idea why Anything else the Transfer Database task doesn't actually transfer It looks like the "Transfer Database" task only does tables. However, the "Transfer SQL Server Objects" allows you to select everything like you need. ...Show All

• Visual C# typeof keyword for properties, fields, methods

  Why don't Microsoft implement some sort of "typeof" for properties, fields, methods etc For example, lets suppose we have "propertyof" keyword, then we can do the following: PropertyInfo pi = propertyof(MyClass.MyProperty) I will try to explain how this can be used. Lets suppose we have the following method to fetch data from the database: BizEntity[] e = bll.ExecuteQuery("type of the business object", " property name of the business object", ....); It takes as first parameter name of the business logic entity which objects I want to get, and other parameters are names of the properties I want to be loaded of the fetched objects (suppose we have a delay loaded business objects).
