• .NET Development System.IO.FileStream steam = new System.IO.File.Create(TempFile) Question

  I'm trying to figure out how to not create a file that has zero bytes.  I have an FTP client that uses a stream to download the files from the server.  You can see the code below.  I was wondering if there was a way that we can make a stream first, then if the file exist, then create the file with the stream.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated. try {     System.IO.FileStream stream = System.IO.File.Create(TempFile);     ftpclient.Download(stream,LocalFolder+LocalFile );     AddToList("Download "+LocalFolder+LocalFile +" Complete");     fileEx ...Show All

• .NET Development c#Objects<->XML: What is the recommended practice?

  Hi, I'm implementing a webService. It has one public method with following signature: public ResponseClass webMethod(ParameterClass params) As you can see, parameters and returnvalues are encapsulated in two objects specified by our client. He has given me two XML-Schemas Response.xsd and Parameter.xsd which specify how those objects look like when being serialized. My question: What is the best way to implement my Service What tools and Methods should I use for a fast and reliable implementation   I was thinking about something like this: 1. I use the tool xsd.exe to generate the classes from the schema file ...Show All

• Visual Basic Accessing the MS Windows XP File properties programmatically

  I have recently been asked to organize my department network drive into some meaningful structure.  I have found that most users who create documents do not use the document properties in any way to add title, category, subject etc.  This would be very helpful in organizing files.  To aide in the monumental taks of organizing department files I though I would creat a macro to access the file properties that appear through the windows XP explorer File, Properties, Summary tab using visual basic and update the info found there.  Is this possible I have found examples how to modify the information ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Extending the Bug Tracking Capabilities

  Is it possible to extend the bug tracker in TFS   We currently use Segue's Silk Radar and have a much more complicated workflow than TFS appears to offer. Tyke, I was in a similar position - the existing states didn't offer enough indicators as to what was going on with a task or bug. I've managed to customise the form quite well now. The bug.xml form is very extensible beyond the basic states included with the distro. Download the Visual Studio 2005 Team System Extensibility Kit Beta 2 pack and familiarise yourself with the process. First you'll need to export the existing Process Template. I use VS ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Builder Analysis Services Drillthrough.

  Into Analysis Services Tutorial cube i defined the Internet Sales Details dimension (rolap storage) and a drill-through action ( Internet Sales Details colums to be displayed) following the tutorial steps. Now browsing the cube with Cube Browser everything goes fine and the drillthrough works as expected. Plus because i defined Internet Sales Details dimension to be not visible this dimension is correctly not visible into the cube browser. However after generating the report model of the cube, when I use this model into Report Builder not only Internet Sales Details dimension is visible with all its colums but the drillthrough it's the st ...Show All

• SQL Server Script databsae does not compatible with SQL2000

  I've created a databse on SQL2005, and I did not use any new data type for columns. I script the database, and select SQL2000 for "Script for Server version", howvever, the script generated cannot be run on SQL2000, it can be only run on SQL2005.

• .NET Development Conting the number of decimals (variant of the Math.Round utility)?

  I would like to count the number of decimals (i.e. number of digits below the fractional comma/point) in a double value. I can think of many (dirty & not culture safe) ways of doing this, but I am looking for a reliable solution. Does anyone has a solution to this problem Thanks in advance, Joannes Hi! You have at least two choices: 1. format to string using current culture and count characters after separator (a little weird, but easy to implement and understand culture settings) 2. do something like that pseudocode: double current = your_value - Math.Floor(your_value); int coun ...Show All

• .NET Development HttpWebRequest & CookieContainer broken design & implementation

  I've spend several months working with HttpWebRequest & CookieContainer, and simply had a miserable time making it work. My question is whether there's a better approach/workaround to it, and if not hopefully these bugs will be fixed by next 'patch'. Issue #1. HttpWebRequest does not setCookies for redirects until the end of redirect. Suppose you have a scenario where you log in, gets a 302 redirect with a SetCookie header. Now, the new redirected page verifies that the cookie is set before sending the correct response. Using HttpWebRequest & CookieContainer, the second redirect request does not have the cookie that response ...Show All

• .NET Development SAP BW NetWeaver web services

  Hi, Has anyone done any integration of a .NET app with SAP BW through web services I’m talking about retrieving data defined on the BW side and then using it for whatever needs, all through web services. I've successfully created a web service on the BW side, but could not find any information on how to consume the web service in .NET, since most people seem to prefer the .NET connector or direct ODBC connection. Any references/documents are much appreciated. FYI, just found this: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d8/3bfc3f8fc2c542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm has some basic information on how to ...Show All
