• Software Development for Windows Vista No templates show after installation of WWF

  I attempted to install WWF yesterday but was not successful. 1) Installation was on a "clean" machine Win XP SP2, VS 2005 already installed. 2) I installed the WinFX February CTP WinFX Runtime Components. Installation was apparently successful (no error messages). 3) I installed the Visual Studio 2005 Extentions for WWF Beta 2 (EN). Again apparently no errors (Took almost two hours over a DSL connection). I have no new project types in VS. Thinking that I might have had to install vs specific components, I downloaded and installed vsextwfx.msi (Dev tools for WinFX). Clean install and I now have "Avalon" projec ...Show All

• .NET Development TCP Connections and Web Service Calls (Reposted from WebServices newsgroup)

  Hi Everyone, I have a windows service which consumes a web service on a separate machine in our network. I modified my machine.config to allow my service application to make 200 connections to the server at once, and I spool up to 200 threads at once to make calls to the server. All of this works great and as expected. However I have noticed that by default the underlying connections tend to stay open for about 90 seconds after my web service calls terminate. So if I use a tool like TCPView I can see that I still have hundreds of connections that remain open even after explicitly calling the .Dispose() method of my proxy objects. Is there a ...Show All

• Visual C++ _beginthread() issues...

  I am having trouble sending parameters to a thread via the _beginthread(void(*)(void*),unsigned int,void *); call. I just want to send a single integer... this is how I do it now: void main(){ int x; _beginthread(threadMain,NULL,x); } void threadMain(void* x){ //blah }; I have tried every form of casting that I can think of, in both the parameter sent and the parameter received.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Accessing a Pre-existing Shape on a Worksheet

• SQL Server Cannot import Oracle data with OLE DB

  I have a column in an Oracle source system with data type NUMBER(38,2). The value "-0.01" is causing problems when trying to import into a SSIS data-flow. The only way I can import this into my data-flow is by using a Datareader connection manager using the ODBC Data Provider. My DSN is using the Oracle ODBC driver.
