• .NET Development SDL1014 : recursively defined types are not supported

  I've got a web service that was written in C# that I am trying to access from a native C++ DLL (built under 2003) that is using Managed Extensions and when trying to build the DLL I am getting the following error: error SDL1014 : recursively defined types are not supported, with [ namespace = " http://tempuri.org/ " name = "PID" ] While I understand what the gripe is, as one of the types defined by the Web Service and handed down in the WSDL of it is potentially recursive... I do not understand why though C++ is crying bloody murder over this when C# and VB.NET are just fine with it. A quick Google or MSN search reveals virtually nothing on this issue and at present I am stumped. Anyone have any ideas ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista GetComputerName() issue in C++

  I am trying to make a utility that will make the inventory process of some 500 computers a lot easier, but I first need to get some basics down to do it. I need to make it a native Win32 application, so I ventured out of my sheltered area of managed code with C# and started working with C++. It is not easy, but I always knew I should learn C++, so I am working on it, and making some progress. Unfortunately, like most sections of my application, the piece of code I am working on to get the name of the computer is not behaving well. I am using GetComputerName() because eventually I shall need to use SetComputerName(). But every time I run it, I get a return value of "0035A058" as opposed to "jessys-pc." I noticed that the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Upgrade script

  Hi All I am new to VSDBProf and currently assessing it for ourself. New project will be started soon and I am thinking to use DB edition for database source control. Databases for previous projects we were building using our own tool. We keep structure changes, source (st.proc, triggers etc) in VSS. When we need clean database it will create and populated with reference data. Database goes through its evolution: baseline (major version release) created then changes applied for minor releases, one by one. If I need an upgrade I can execute set of scripts from one minor version to another. In that way we have abilility to upgrades and clean installs using the very same scripts. Now I am looking at VSDBProf. It keeps database structure in Sou ...Show All
