• .NET Development Async page and a class library

  Hello. I have a class library that consumes a web service. It does some processing both and before after calling the web service method. One customer is requesting that I expose the async methods provided by the web service proxy so that they could take advantage of the new "Async=true" ASP.NET feature. However, I can't just expose them as they would then circumvent for the pre- and post-request processing that my class library has to do. My initial thought was to create my own async methods that would simply wrap the proxy's. Then, I thought about shielding the customer from all that and instead, calling the proxy's async methods myself in the single method that they'd call. That is, to them, my method still blocks. But i ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX - VISUALTOTALS and PARALLELPERIOD

  Hello, I have a seemingly simple MDX statement that VISUALTOTALS fails on. I want to calculate a 'Last Year' measure using PARALLELPERIOD. I can create the measure OK and display it ON COLUMNS okay too. The problem comes if I wrap VISUALTOTALS around it to form the "all" member - it always give me a null for last year + all. Sample MDX is shown below. In the result set the column headed "All" + "CCMS Last Year" is always NULL despite the fact that the individual last year members have values. The column headed "All" + "CCMS This Year" has the correct value in it! --------------------------------------- WITH MEMBER [measures].[CCMS This Year] AS ([Measures].[Column Cms]), NON_EMPTY_BEHAVIOR= ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to print a document that should extend beyond 1 page

  Here is my question, I would like to print a richtextbox onto multiple pages...now the situation is like this... I have a richtextbox and i already set it up so that you can print it, although by the time i would like to print it, there is too much text for 1 page alone, So i was wondering how i can print the richtextbox in portions...or...if theres a way for VB.NET to detect that Page1 is full, and to print a new page while continuing off from the last page. Any help would be appreciated. =) thanks I looked again and the 'CharactersFitted' part of the Graphics.MeasureString Method is discussed but not explained very well in this VB help: ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/MS.NETFramework.v20.en/cpref8/html/M_ ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Bounding Box Not Rotating Correctly

  I have a bounding box around a rotating object which is positioned at the origin. The object is only rotating about the Z-axis and I'm wanting the bounding box to rotate with it. To achieve this I am translating the bounding box's coordinates by the same rotation matrix as I'm using to rotate the object but it's not working correctly. Instead of rotating the bounding box it just appears to shrink and stretch it. I have written a simple method which just draws lines between the bounding boxes coordinates to display the bounding box which is how I know that the bounding box isn't being rotated correctly. Interestingly enough, the bounding box is always drawn with vertical and horizontal lines, never diagonal lines. So it could be my drawing ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) .NET classes from EDM schema and entity relationships

  Does the generation of .NET classes from EDM schema and entity relationships uses the actual relational database Also when you create EDM schema and entity sets and relationships, does the database really has to exist Moving the thread to ADO.NET CTP. To the first question - when you generate classes from EDM schema, the database is not accessed. To the second question - you can create EDM files manually in which case no database is accessed. But you may use a tool (EntityModelGeneration.exe ) that needs a database to generate all the files for you. ...Show All

• Visual C# How to incremental build C# projects under .NET 2005?

  Hello, I've noticed you removed the \INCREMENTAL build option in .NET 2005. I want to make an incremental build for my solution. My solution includes projects written in c#, some of the projects have references to other projects. When I make a little change in one project I don't want all my solution to be rebuilded again - only the necessary projects (This is the reason I have referenced the projects and not the dll files). 1. What should I do in order to build (automatically) just the relevant (non "up to date")projects. 2. I'm just curious - why does the incremental build has been removed from .NET 2005 Thanks in advance, Michal. When I right click on a pr ...Show All
