• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WS Compression

  Hello! As you already know in real life distributed app must use sometimes slow internet connections (~128k). The XML messages tend to be large. When using ASMX 1.1 (and WSE 2.0 SP 1/2/3) we were able to apply a SOAP GZIP Filter that enable compression both on server and client. This option was in many cases ( almost every case ) the only option that we had in order to make Web Services working at an acceptable level. And, no less important, transparent to users and developers (and is working on IIS < 6.0). My question is if in Indigo (or WSE 3.0 or ASMX 2.0) is still possible to work in this way (or maybee is something better a ...Show All

  I have created a UserControl and a designer for it and I am having problems with the adornments drawing incorrectly when resizing the control in design mode. When resizing the control, the adornments are drawn to the original control bounds and not to the resized control bounds. If I select something else, and reselect the control, the adornments draw correctly. Here is how I am declaring the UserControl: [ Designer ( typeof ( UserControl1Designer ))] public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl { public UserControl1() { InitializeComponent(); } } Here is the designer code: class UserControl1Designer ...Show All

These collection classes all have the same property members that I have overriden,, such as Add, Remove (Overloaded), this, etc etc. I may be going down the wrong route with Generic's here, but could I have one Collection Class with these Property Methods that holds generic Types, and then do some running conversion to the appropriate types Am I going down the right path with this Tryst The idea behind ...Show All

• Visual Studio Landscape print quality poor

  I'm using Local processing mode on a Winforms app, and have a report that I'm printing in landscape (width 11in, height 8.5in). I am printing this report using the ReportViewer (not printing directly to the printer in code). When the report shows up in ReportViewer, it looks fine. If I adjust the report to print in portrait (set in the rdlc), and print the report, the fonts look fine. However, when I print this report in landscape (set in the rdlc), the font rendering is poor, w/ jagged edges on the fonts. I've reduced the report just down to a simple header w/ no other content and tried different fonts, sizes, and margins, but the quality i ...Show All

• Windows Forms email attachment readonly

  Not sure of the best forum for this but... I am using VS2005, coding in VB.net, and developing a WIndows application. My program gives the user the ability to send email, via Outlook, to clients. The email has an attachment which is the contents of the app's form, set into HTML tags. I temporarily save the HTML-and-data to a file and then attach that file to the email. Two questions: 1) When I send this to myself I open the attachment with IE and the attachment looks fine. That is, it is correctly structured and readable. But when a teammate opens an email from the same program, also with IE, he sees the HTML tags, and the data i ...Show All
