   I have winforms that accesses the data layer via web services. Exception occurred on the data access layer and I put try{}catch{} statements on the client layer(winforms) to capture the exception. The original exception type is SqlException but when the try{}catch{} on the client(winforms) captured the exception of diffent type which is SoapException. My question is can I make the SoapExcepton return to its original exception which is SqlException Palkupz, Well basically, no you can't get anything except a soap exception at the client end.  Avery's blog has some information on this topic and explanations why.  Basically ...Show All

• Windows Forms Two-way databinding

  I was told that one of the virtues of using WindowsForms versus ASP.Net is that databinding is two-way.  That is to say that if you bind a text box to a dataset column that not only would the data flow from the dataset into the control, but when the control was changed, the dataset would be updated.  This doesn't seem to be happenin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Do I have VSTO?

  Hi, This is probably a silly question, but I've searched around and haven't been able to find an answer. I have both Visual Studio 2003 standard and Visual Studio 2005 pro (on separate computers). Does that mean that I already have VSTO (I haven't been able to find any evidence of it), or is it something I need to get separately If so, how do I get it (and would there be any discounts available since I already have Visual Studio as well as Office 2003 Pro) Any resources that anyone can recommend would be greatly appreciated.

• SQL Server SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 have the different behavior

  SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 have the different behavior when they close record set earlier opened from the same client application (used ODBC or DB-Library). SQL Server 2005 sends to client a large amount of data while SQL Server 2000 does not do this. Probably these data are the rest of the result set on the SQL Server 2005, which application did not read completely. The difference in query processing can be observed if the SELECT command is used with ORDER BY data field, which is not used as a cluster index. Data table must be sufficiently large. This problem does not appear if I do not use ORDER BY or use ORDER BY data field used ...Show All

• Visual Studio VSIP for 6.0

  Is VSIP for 6.0 is available Is it free as for .NET Hi Yorik, I'm not really familiar with Visual Assist, though I have hear good things about it in the past. I don't recall if they were in the DevPartner program back then or not. At the time, I wasn't directly involved in supporting the program. From the looks of it, they did do a nice job of it though. One thing you could potentially do to get a hint at how they did things was to check for subclassing. Just fire up a couple instances of the environment (one with VA and one without) and check the addresses of various WndProcs using SPY++. That might allow ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server connection from C#/asp.net

  I have a connect string to a SQL database: “Data Source=Cats;Initial Catalog=Orders;User ID=sa;Password=sa” It connects to the database correctly. If I change the string to: “Data Source=Cats;Initial Catalog=Orders;User ID=ian;Password=ih” It will not connect. “ian” is a valid SQL login to the Cats server with the same priviledges as the SA account – I can successfully login to SQL Query Analyzer with ian/ih. I tried the same thing on a “local” SQL server database too – got the same error. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thats not a .NET issue. YOu have to grant the rights / permissions to the database for the user. By default ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Designer re-hosting and XAML only workflows

  I'd like to change the Designer Re- hosting example to cater for XAML only workflows. Can anyone give me any advice to get me going I have some custom root workflow activities (compiled) and have xaml workflows that use these, but when I attempt to load them into the example it doesn't even get off the ground because the WorkflowMarkupSerializer can't deserialize the xaml (returns null). I had added the assemblies etc. I have got a bit further by modifying the PerformLoad so that the serializer uses the IDesignerSerializationManager that is passed into it. This enables it to deserialize the XAML with my custom types that I added ...Show All
