• .NET Development Deserialization Problem pls HELP!

  I posted a thread three lines down bellow this one, and after 200 views nobody had anything to say about it. I can't believe it, so I guess I did not ask the question right. Let me rephrase: I have a web service running on a server (http://domain.com/service wsdl). When I send requests, they are going there, the parameters get deserialized, get processed, and get returned. Now, when the response comes back to the client app, if the response con ...Show All

• Visual C# cross threading help

  Hi! Sorry, was no sure if i should post this question here or on the .NET General forum. I apologise! I am having some trouble grasping threading in .NET 2.0. I am trying to update a UI control (progress bar) from a thread created within the application. Of course, when directly changing the progress bar value from this thread created, VS.NET picks up that you are "cross referencing"... which is one of many AWESOME features! :-) Now, i have been ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Trap F10 in the KeyPress()

  Is there any way I can trap for an F10 in a keypress event We have a legacy app which is using ON KEY LABEL to capture an F10 key press. I can't trap this in the KeyPress, I assume becasue it has the same key code as ALT which KeyPress can't cope with. Changing from F10 to another key is not an option :( One thing I can do is have a macro in effect to convert an F10 to something else and trap that in the KeyPress. Is there a nice way I can ...Show All

• SQL Server Where is variable used?

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the ...Show All

• Visual C++ Justification for forcing 'virtual' for overridden virtual functions

  Since C++ does not force a programmer to specify the 'virtual' keyword when overriding a virtual function in a base class, what was the justification for forcing not only 'virtual' but also an after the parameter list 'override' when overriding virtual functions of a base ref class or interface class. For normal C++ programmers this bifurcation from C++ seems both a PITA and absolutely unnecessary. There must have been some practical reason for ...Show All

• Visual Studio No data in Reports, but the headers show up fine

  C#, VS Pro 2005..... OK, so I've tried the simple approach of creating a form, adding a CR Viewer and ReportDocument to the form, selected just one field from a table (as a simple test - I've tried more complex ones as well). When I run the app and view the form, the report shows up blank, but with the headers visible. Refresh does nothing but, well, refresh the headers. Yep, the Viewer is set to the report name.
