• Visual Studio PLK Request taking a long time

  Hi, I applied for a PLK yesterday at 11am. I have still not recieved a reply regarding the application. I was wondering how long it usually takes Thanks. Ben.

• .NET Development Use the same instance of web service proxy or create a new one for each call

  What's the general recommendation Use the same instance of web service proxy for all calls or create a new one for each call In first case the same web service proxy instance may be kept alive for hours! Thanks... Hi forum, I have a related question regarding the instancing of webservices. My question is however regarding how the webservice is instanced on the server side. I am of the understanding that a webservice class is being instanciated and disposed again with each request - is this right I am currently doing a project where i must localize a webservice classe. The culture is dictated by the calling webapplication (an asp.net application). I have considered whether to use soap headers to convey the culture information to the ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GPRS Connect at Startup

  Hi again (again), Last question, I promise. I'm looking to start the GPS up wen the device starts. I don't mind changing hte registry for this, or doing it programatically. All the stuff I have found is either for C#, or the registry info doesn't exist in my phone. Once again, any help would be very appreciated. Cheers, Dan. haha, I had that, but it was throwing errors. I realised later why, but never put it back in, thinking the way I created the variable would take care of the size parameter automagically. Anyways, I added that in, and it still didn't solve the problem. I didn't bother checking the HRESULT cause if it didn't work, the errors for HRESULT didn't seem like they'd be much ...Show All

  Hi, Is it possible to attach a particular column ( all row values) from a datatable to the datagridview control. thanks, Venp What do you mean If you want to add the content of a data table to the grid, set the grid's DataSource property to the table (or go through a binding source) and databind the columns to the columns in the dataset.

• Visual Basic Need help exporting VB.Net variables/data to VBA macro

  Hi I'm using VBA AutoCAD for drawing, but instead of defining parameters in VBA, I would like to take those parameters from VB.Net codes. Here is an example Sub CreateCylinder() Dim CylinderObj As Acad3DSolid Dim center(0 To 2) As Double Dim radius As Double Dim height As Double ' Define the cylinder parameters center(0) = 5#: center(1) = 5#: center(2) = 0 radius = 10#: height = 20# ' Create the cylinder in model space Set CylinderObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddCylinder(center, radius, height) End Sub This VBA code will create a cylinder at co-ordinates (5,5,0) with radius = 10 and height = 20.

• Visual Basic Array starting at 1

  I'm redim a array to start 1 and to go to 600, does anyone know how i tryed using the "to", but never worked ReDim Preserve Array(1 to 600) In general using the 0 based arrays is recommended - VB (and for that matter C# afaik) doesn't support creating non 0 based arrays. If you really, really want to do so, you can use the array class to create an instance that isn't 0 based: Dim a As Array = System.Array.CreateInstance( GetType ( Integer ), New Integer () {600}, New Integer () {1}) Note that this array will not be strongly typed, so it will require several explicit conversions if option strict is on. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Defaulting Values

  Hi gang, Every once in awhile I get to ask a question instead of just answering them. I know that in my sub-classes for controls such as TextBoxes, I can avoid having the IDE stick extra code in the "IDE-generated" code for properties by setting a DefaultValue in the TextBox sub-class. Like this: public class MyTextBox : TextBox { private string m_MyProperty; public MyTextBox { this.m_MyProperty = ""; } [DefaultValue("")] public string MyProperty { get {return this.m_MyProperty;} set {this.m_MyProperty = value;} } [DefaultValue(typeof(Color), "Window")] public override Color BackColor { get {return base.BackColor;} set {base.BackColor = value;} } ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Mixing DataContract with Serializable attributes

  The documentation at http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.serialization.datacontractserializer.aspx indicates that the DataContractSerializer will throw an exception when asked to serialize a class decorated with both the DataContract and Serializable attributes. However when attempting this myself I didn't experience any such problem. Is the documentation incorrect The reason I ask is that I need to be able to store objects retrieved from public Web services via WCF (i.e. decorated with the DataContract attribute) in the ASP.NET session state server (which requires the object to be decorated with the Serializable attribute). Has anyone (other than me) had any success o ...Show All
