• Architecture "CallResult" class for non-query RPC

  In my application I have a service layer which is remoted. There are some functions that are "non-query" methods, that is they do not return a domain entity or collection but perform some action on the server. I would like to get back the result of these calls and possibly any error messages. I am thinking of using a serializable "CallResult" object which has two properties: a boolean "Successful" property indicating if the function executed sucessfully and a "Message" string property containing the message from any exceptions that occured while executing the method. The client would only look at the Message property if the Successful property is false. I am wondering if this is a good design or not ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Beta

  Has anyone else tried to install the beta of Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Just running the setup program hogs my machine. It literally took over an hour, maybe more, for the message box to come up asking me if I wanted to install it. I tried it around 4:15pm yesterday and since it was still going even past 5pm I just left work figuring it would be installed by the time I came back in the morning. Well, I'm back and all I see is the message asking if I want to install. I say yes and then a few minutes later it comes back saying I have to uninstall the Web Application Projects addon because the release version is included in the service pack. Great, I hit OK and now I have to start all the way over! I've never seen an install program h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Develop on VS 2005 w/Framework 2 targeting Framework 1?

  Is this somehow possible My development PC has VS 2005 and .NET Framework 2 on it. Can I install .NET Framework 1.1 and target a 1.1 framework environment using VS 2005 or do I have to install VS 2003 as well Directly no... Visual Studio 2005 is designed only to target 2.0 (and 3.0 later it seems)... not 1.0/1.1. You are free to write code in 2005 and compile it externally for the 1.1 framework, you just need to limit yourself to using only classes and methods that are supported there. One easier way to handle this is to use MSBee which is an addon for MSBuild and lets you target the 1.1 framework. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I display a PDF file in a VC++ .NET Windows Form application?

  The subject says it all! I have used the Choose Toolbox Items to add the Adobe Acrobat Control for Active X to the ToolBox and then dragged it onto the form. It works, but even though I have the very latest Adobe Acrobat 7.07 Reader Installed, the pdf.ocx control is only version 5.05. I checked in the ActiveX directory of my Adobe\Acrobat 7.0 installation and there was no pdf.ocx there. Also on Adobe's Web site, all their info. on pdf.ocx only mentions the 5.05 version. Is there a better way to display PDF files other than the pdf.ocx ActiveX control I had considered using the native .NET WebBrowser control and relying on the Adobe PDF browser plugin, but that seems a lot of overhead when I don't need a browser, only a PDF reade ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Code Security

  Ok, I've got this project I'm building where I use ServerDocument to create a document out of a template on the server. Populating data in a cached data island. But I was getting errors, can't run the customization. So I created, in Enterprise, a url security setting allowing the url the document portal was in (with the "/*" at the end), and also created a child security element with a strongname signed at the web portal, and the letter assembly. I am now getting this error: Customization does not have the permissions required to create an application domain. Any ideas Thanks Also looking at your original caspol statement, if you are accessing the document from this document then it fail as there is no trust for ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Create Buttons with a Loop and add an event handler?

  Hi, I’ve created 70 buttons with a For Loop.

• Customer Care Framework Unable to configure a phone in Agent Desktop

  I get this error in the Agent desktop Application. Phone Settings are configured through Admin Console, Softphone is installed and also all the required steps in Deployment doc. are properly executed. The error originates from PhoneMenu.cs, in InitCTI() function inwhich CtiHostedControl.InitializeLine(agentNumber) returns a NULL. K, I am sorry I misunderstood what you were saying.. The example CTI interface uses a special TAPI provider.. as its part of the Demo Code, instructions for it are located on page 13 of the Developers guide... it is buried in a section on the Agent Desktop. for clarity, here are the steps: 1. If you are using the TAPI emulator to debug, you will need to manually instal ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is there any type of context available at time of IAuthorizationPolicy evaluation?

  I've been doing some work with adding custom context to our WCF web services. I've successfully added context to the operation and instance context, but now I'm doing some work at the IAuthorizationPolicy level and finding out that the contexts that I've hooked so far (i.e. operation context and instance context) are not available yet at this point. First, is there a context that flows all the way through all these layers of a WCF request Second, I cannot find any good documentation on what the life cycle of a request looks. If I could find that I would probably be able to figure the rest out on my own. TIA, Drew I think the disconnect we're having is that it's not just one specific area of the requ ...Show All

• SQL Server MS SQL 2005 performance issues

  After migrating to 2005, I started noticing some performance problems with my queries. Here is one of them. The query takes some 40 seconds to execute for the first time with intense disk operation. Next time I run it the result comes back in less than a second. however, if I make a minor change to one of the parameter, it takes ~25 seconds with 100% CPU utilization and 0% of disk utilization. So, I'm assuming that all data has been cached, but I can't imagine why it takes so long to retrieve data from the memory BTW execution plans look completely identical for those queries. Here is the query example: select quotes.quote_id from indicators indicators_1, quotes, quotes quotes_1, quotes quotes_2, ranges ranges_1 where not (1. * q ...Show All

• SQL Server Weird SQL Server 2000 behavior

  I was able to successfully create a database maintenance plan for SQL Server 2000 Transaction Log Shipping for a few databases a few weeks ago. Yesterday, I created a few more but to my surprise, I can no longer do it. I can create a maintenance plan but the job it creates does not start even if I force the job to start. I did exactly the same thing as what I did (as I document everything I do) before but no luck. Has anybody had this experience before Can you go into the Enterprise Manager, drill into Management->SQL Server Agent->Jobs, and then look at the job history for the failing job If you check the "Show Step Details" box, you should be able to see error messages from the step that failed (probably the ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums How to make custom text for pushpin (pulling from xml element)

  I am looking to create a custom pushpin, where instead of the default pushpin appearing, you see a rectangle with the name/title of the location. The trick is I want to pull that title from the same geo-coded xml file which is used to display the layer when you hover over.   Okay so below is the code I am working with currently. I have seen the custom pushpins used - but Im at a loss as to how to make those custom pushpins be titled based on the title from the xml file. Here is the code to make custom pushpins - but how do I can't get the title to show up as a variable from the xml file.
