• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) No HttpContext when IIS hosted?

  I have a custom datacaching class that works fine under an ASMX web service, but reports that HttpContext is null when used in an IIS hosted WCF web service. Am I doing something wrong To answer my own question... I found this shortly thereafter: http://blogs.msdn.com/wenlong/archive/2006/01/23/516041.aspx A very good article. Unfortunately, the config attributes he refers to are invalid. Instead of <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/> you need to use <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetIntegrationEnabled="true"/> That does ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLServer 2005: UID missing in log

  Hi, I've notice that in SQLServer 2005 "select * from ::fn_dblog(null, null)" and "DBCC LOG(mydb, -1)" always return -1 or NULL for the column UID which is supposed to return the id of the user. I've been using those statements with previous version of SQLServer with no problem so far. Does anybody know if there is any option to enable SQLServer 2005 to save the user info in the log Thanks Please be aware that this is an undocumented function. So we might change it in the future. That said, you should look at the "Transaction SID" column. "Begin Transaction" ...Show All

• Windows Forms printout/report generation ideas

  A quick question to ask what people tend to use as a reporting tool for winforms application that DONT use a database as their underlying data storage. In the past we've tried various methods from writing our own routines, data dynamics, component one and devexpress and found all un-satisfactory in one way or another. What I'd like is to give the end users the ability to create a template in say word and drop in markers and then fill this in, however I don't want to impose a restriction that the end users machine has to have word installed. The type of data to be filled in would be things such as graphics and other sub report ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Framework

  Just a few questions i currently have on the XNA Framework and how that will come along. As far as I understand it XNA Framework is a subset of the NET Framework 2.0 which will work on Win32/64 and XBOX360 .... So far so good. I assume that this will be a set of assemblies for windows computers ( which require NET Framework 2.0 in addition ) and a custom CLR for the XBOX360 which only supports the XNA Framework assemblies. ( I wonder how dynamic linking will work with the XBOX360 version of the CLR ) So would it be a feasible course to develop a game engine for PC using NET Framework 2.0 and XNA Assemblies where the tools use the full NET F ...Show All

  We are in the process of migrating from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. We encountered a problem with one of our web applications (ASP) when attached to the new 2005 database.

• Visual J# java.net.Socket buffer sizes in J#

  Hi, New to J# (and java) so please bear with me! I've converted some Sun java code into a J# project, to allow me to use the logic from within existing C# code. The converted code is a rather complex API for sending / recieving data via a Socket (as a client). The conversion has gone extremly smoothly, I've only had to change (comment out) 2 lines of code, which relate to setting the send/recieve buffer sizes on the java.net.Socket. My simple C# console app to test the functionality works perfectly, so potentially I don't need to fix anything........ but..... The question is: How big are the send / recieve buffers in java.net.Socke ...Show All

• Visual C++ PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE and the CLR -- debugging issues

  Hi -- I just compiled a C++ app with the CLR flag for the first time that I had previously only compiled to the native code platform. I did this so I could write debug information to the Output window, but I will want more extensive interaction with the managed environment in the future. In my app I allocate a piece of memory with VirtualAlloc with the PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE flag set and then proceed to generate some intel code to that memory. I'm finding that when I compile with the CLR flag I can no longer use the debugger to view my generated code in the disassembly window, which of course prevents me from setting breakpoints or tra ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro editbox control snaps.

  It is a fairly mild problem but still an inconvenience. I have an editbox and a text is assigned to it in the following manner: THISFORM.Pageframe1.Page4.Edit1.ControlSource = "(ThisForm.cData)" All other operations are done programmatically. I may force it to count the number of lines and go to a specific line and highlight it. It does. But then after a while, perhaps in about 2 minutes, it snaps to the first line (beginning of file is fact). It never fails to jump backwards. It is annoying. Why does it do it What can be done about it Thanks. Do you have any code that refreshes the editbox (or the whole form) Tha ...Show All
