• .NET Development Binary attachments in WSE 3.0

  Hello, I'm using WSE 3.0, but I'm having some trouble passing a binary attachment. In WSE 2.0 we had SoapEnvelope.Context.Attachments where I would put binary attachments. Where can I put attachments in WSE 3.0 Thanks in advance for any help given. Regards, paulo I believe Soap with Attachments and DIME have fallen out of favor, and now you should just pass your previously attached data as a byte []. The returning soap message is supposed to have a MIME part for the byte [] sent in raw octects.  This saves on bandwidth as the raw octects should be up to 33% smaller than the base64 encoding used prev ...Show All

• .NET Development Key/ForeignKey performance question

  I've read on various online performance sites that an Int performs better on a WHERE clause than say... VarChar(8). Assuming this is true, does this hold true with relationships Having an Int as a ForeignKey and Key seems a lot more efficient than a VarChar - in terms of space and speed. Thanks :) Yes, it's more efficient and therefore faster to use integers as compared to character fields as integers are indexed more efficiently. It's much easier to index and locate an integer than a character field. I'm not sure how much faster using an integer would be though. ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get returned columns from a stored procedure executing it

  I need to get the returned columns from a stored procedure without executing it. The DataAdapter Wizard does a nice job of returning the columns using some sort of StoredProcedureListItem.Procedure.ReturnedColumns.  How can I call those methods (or any other way) if I have a vaild connection and a valid stored procedure name Thanks That is a tough one.  SQL does not expose any direct API to do this (get the columns that come back from a stored procedure).  You can get the parameter info but not the columns.  I am pretty sure you have to execute the procedure to get the columns r ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Separate SQL Server (2000 in this case)

  How do you instantiate the db with LINQ if the SQL Server is separate from the application server All the samples I've seen do it like this: Northwind db = new Northwind ( "c:\\northwind\\northwnd.mdf" ); Is the following how you'd do it, say in a shared hosting type situation (except that the connection string itself would be stored in the web.config, of course) Northwind db = new Northwind ( DataSource=<serverIp>>;user=<username>;pass=<password>; ); Thanks Hi, all the samples in the LINQ use connection string that automatically attaches database file (SQL ...Show All

• .NET Development SqlDataSource Output Parameter

  I have an SqlDataSource.InsertCommand that uses an SQL Server 2005 stored procedure that returns a success or failure message in an ouput variable @return_message. This works fine in Visual Basic.NET 2003, but I can not access the value of the output parameter in Visual Basic.NET 2005 and ASP.NET 2.0. The code looks like the following: Me.lblMessage.Text = Me.sqldsAddSwitch.InsertParameters.Item("return_message").ToString This just displays the text "return_message". It is not giving me the value of the parameter, just the name of it. In Visual Basic.NET 2003, I can use .Value, but it does not seem to be valid in Visual Basic.NET ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting services 2005 - rezising the legend size

  Hi all,I have a report with a chart.the chart has a legend.The problem is that the number of categoried the legend contains grows in time. How to i do i make the legend rezing dynamicly so that the text doesnt go over the other You could consider a "table" legend layout which may be able to better accomodate the legend items. Other than that, you could look into building a custom legend by using a table data region instead of using the built-in legend (see this article for more details: http://blogs.msdn.com/bwelcker/archive/2005/05/20/420349.aspx ) -- Robert ...Show All

  I need the reduce the processing time in a uMicrocontroller to allow faster sampling times. This has creates a problem in the data collection routine in VB. The old system collected the analog data a converted it to a decimal format before sending it to the serial port. This data is collected and saved using Hyperterminal. The VB program would, when run, would open this file and process the decimal data by graphing it. What I need is to capture the data directly and process a binary word.
