  I have a solution which contains a winform project and a webservice. I am trying to step from the code in a form into the code in the webservice, but it doesn't work.

In web.config I have < compilation debug = " true " /> I have searced a bit ...Show All

• Justin Daw Using TransactionScope to share transactions between Methods

  Hi, Before we start: This is all taking place on a single database. And I really don't want the overhead of Distributed Transactions. If I want to have lots of separate data access routines that do work on the database. Sometimes I want these routines to take part in a larger transaction. Sometimes they will just be running in their own transaction. I looked at TransactionScope and I thought this would do the trick. I now realise I w ...Show All

• Patrick MCormick Check if a path is a folder of file

  Hi! Simple question: Is there a way to find out if a path contained in a string variable corresponds to a folder or a file I agree with Taylor. The only thing you can do is follow standard practice and assume that a directory will not have a period (.) in the name. If you want to know the exact name you would have to create a parse routine that would take the string you mentioned and parse it out. Probably by a forward slash "/" or more ...Show All

• B o g d a n Typed DataSet and WriteXml question about Namespace

  Ok, I have a typed DataSet that was generated from an xsd schema using xsd.exe. The xsd schema is owned by a standards organization, so I can't modify it. The generated code sets the Namespace property of the DataSet (e.g. http://www.std.org/xml/name-space ). This controls the scope of elements read from an XML file when calling ReadXml and the file is read correctly with appropriate rows populated. Now, if I turn around and call Write ...Show All

• Jos Wilson Odd behavior

  I am writing a web form in Visual Studio 2005. I have a text box and a submit button. When Submit is clicked the code behind looks at the text in the box and evaluates it for further action. That's the way it is supposed to work. The problem is that the text box is not actually realizing it has text in it.... I know, that sounds weird, and it is. The even more weird thing is that I have another form in the project that is working fine. I ...Show All

• Boris Jabes MS enum question

  Hi. I am new to this and find it exciting but confusing at the same time. I have been told, from a great source, that enum is the best way to say, handle/manage error codes or let a method expect a type of Enum - it allows it to be more readable/managable and prevents any errors from occuring during development/testing. So you got to tie it down tightly, which I completly agree with.   The way I used to do things was, if a method r ...Show All
