• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Meta data exchange with indigo webservice

  Hi, How can i exchange the metadata with the indigo service. Does WCF provide any particular facility for that Zille, WSDL does not provide any direct support for that, though I presume you could hack it in some way to do so (though it might cause interoperability problems). That said, I don't see the kind of data as belonging to the service contract metadata (which is really what the WSDL contains), but rather as a separate information service your endpoint exposess. In other words, if you have a service that performs your restaurant functions, you might have a second service (and service contract) that exposes your custom metadata about the restaurant. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Repost: How to lock windows key/alt-tab and ctrl-esc

  The previous post was locked because someone accused me of being a virus-writer. I have made a WPF screensaver, but need to disable the windows key, ctrl-esc and alt-tab (I don't want it to exit unless I press Alt-F4). It is to be displayed on computers in my store and I don't want customers shutting it down every time they press a button. I will email the screensaver to anyone that doesn't believe me. Could someone give me some advice on the easiest way to do this I have found code on 'hooking keys' but I am an amatuer and need some simpler information. Is there a way I can just say "Disable that key!" or what do I need to do Thanks alot, from mrmckeb! I saw your previous post and h ...Show All

• Visual Studio Can Sandcastle output a help website rather than a CHM file?

  I used to use NDoc to create help in HTML format. When I try to use SandCastle, it appears that the only option is to create .chm files. Is it possible to create a website similar to http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa388745.aspx using SandCastle I was thinking about doing that in my DocProject software for Sandcastle but with a lot more features than just a list of topics.  I added a work item for it recently and I'm hoping to get some feedback from the community on this idea as well: www.codeplex.com/DocProject   For now, there are basic DocSite  templates in C# and Visual Basic.NET that you can use to create your own website.  Each comes with a&nbs ...Show All

• Windows Forms deployment problem

  what files should I provide with the installer I want to know if I use any image as the background of a button or any other control, should I include it with the installer another question is how can I understand which files are necessary to run an C# application on the client machine Thanks I would think that the answer to the first part your question is Yes. Also, this is Clickonce deployment. I think you what you're looking for is a Installion project, not clickonce.

• Visual C++ LIBCMT.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

  I am attempting to write a C++.NET 2005 DLL (or assembly if I am using the terminology correctly) that wraps a C++ 6 .lib file (I am guessing that it is from C++ v6 because it is a SDK supplied by a third party). C++ is not my native language, VB is, so I am trying to write this wrapper so that I can do the bulk of my coding in VB.NET. I have managed to get the C++.NET project down to 45 warnings (which seem to mostly be the linker complaining about duplicate function definitions) and really 1 linker error: LIBCMT.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup The Configuration Type for my project is Dynamic Library (.dll) and in an attempt to fix this based on other articles ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Create texture from resource

  I got a problem in understanding about create texture from resource, from what i understand, after we create the texture, it will be copied to the memory right, then automatically it will be 'pasted' to the back buffer.

I'm trying to create a texture from resource, and i need to make it displayed just like the normal texture.

• SQL Server How to kill running query?

  Hi! Our users often run malicious queries which could take up to quarter of CPU power for couple of hours. If there is more that one such query, the whole environment is severely impacted with no other recovery that restarting the service. Is there any (easy) way how to kill unwanted connections and related queries If not, could someone please give some explanation for that (is it design issue or what ). Otherwise I'd like to see that functionality in SP2-3. Someone with similar experience out there Absolutly. You can use any client, not only AMO to send a Cancel command. For instance, you can use ActivityViewer sample application to cancel user sessions, or user connections. Connect to Analysis ...Show All

• Visual C# Changing Type during runtime

  In response to my previous thread which can be read here , I've decided to create a new thread because although I mention this problem in my previous thread, this is a different subject. To recap, I have a class Shape, which will have many inherited types. In a class Physical, I have a Property which returns a Shape object. Many classes inherit from Physical, and each inherited class will need the capability of allowing the user to change the Shape Type during runtime. I came up with a decent solution, but was wondering if anybody knows, or can think of a better way(s) to solve this: [ BrowsableAttribute ( true ), ReadOnly ( false ), TypeConverter ( ty ...Show All
