Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Factoring Interfaces
I am embarking on my first WCF based service. This service will be evolved from an existing .asmx based set of web services that expose over 200 webmethods. My question is, what is the best way to (re)factor the .asmx interfaces in WCF I was considering a single IMyInterface containing the 200+ methods, and then perhaps partial classes for the implementation to maintain some modularity. Is this a bad idea Are there any best practices for factoring WCF interfaces in wcf,each ABC(Address+Binding+contract(interface)) combination will define the client side proxy If all these methods logically don't fit ...Show All

SQL Server URGENT: Specific Models in Report Builder
Is there any way to display specific models in Report Builder, depending on the permissions granted to users on different folders. For e.g. If the user has been granted permission on folder A, not B, then he/she should not see the models from B, when launching Report Builder from web application. Any help or suggestions or pointers is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Model visibility is controlled just like any other items on the report server (e.g. reports, data sources, folders). If a user does not have read permission on a model, it will not appear in the list of models displayed in Report Build ...Show All
Visual C# Moving a shape with mouse
i 'm new in C# but i have an old hope to make a program using shapes and figures and moving them with mouse. my problem is : is there a way to restor previous image or background after moving the figure, like a CAD software does !! Thanks X 10000. Howdy, This depends on the scenario you are in, but everything is possible. You need to override the OnPaintBackground method of your form or control and set comment out the base update statement. You should be overriding the OnPaint method at any rate, and its in here that you should be calling the Clear method from your graphics context. So an example might look like the following: ...Show All

Windows Forms Building a smart installer app, looking for initial reading, where to start.
Our Project has produced around forty or so applications based on VB6, .Net 1.1 and now .Net 2.0 - the problem is now one of user experience, and we would like to bring these little tools under a common installation environment. This installer would need to check for installed .net framework versions, then download and install them as needed, install and register our legacy activex control. It would need to be able to interrogate the local network to find out whether the network already has our configuration and management server app installed, and if not provide this as an option to the user... the user would then need a f ...Show All
Visual Basic VB vs C#. How capable is VB compared to C#?
I need some clarification please. I am learning VB.NET right now and have a co-worker who has a very strong technical background and feels very strongly that learning VB is a "waste of time in all respects" compared to C#. I don't understand this point of view. Since VB is a .NET language does it not posses the same capabilities as C# Am I on the wrong track I really enjoy the VB.NET syntax and am picking it up quickly. Here's my background ( being totally honest ). I am self taught, I learned C++ back in the late 90's. From there, I moved to C# because ASP.NET is the best platform availabl ...Show All
