• .NET Development Adding Web Service Reference Fails

  I have a web service (just the plain Hello World example).  I test it with IE and it works fine.  I create a WInforms application and try to add a reference to the web service from the new application.  I get the following error: The web services enumeration components are not available.  You need to reinstall Visual Studio to add web references to your application.   So that sounds easy to do.  Do the install again but without any success.  Does anybody have an idea what I need to do to fix this Thanks Ignus http://blogs.msdn.com/astebner/archive/2005/11/11/49192 ...Show All

• SQL Server Bar graphic chart is not in the same order with data table

  Hi All, I have a very simple bar-graphic report that has the following data: Sale Region Total Sale A 1,000,000 B 350,000 On the table, the data is sort by the Sale Region, so the A would come before the B. But on the bar-chart, the B is always displayed before the A. If it is a vertical bar chart, and then the B is on the left, the A is on the right. And if it's a hoz. bar chart, the B bar is on the top, and the A bar is on the bottom. I try to modify the RDL to make the bars displayed in order, but failed after many tries. Here is the RDL code that I wrote in an attempt to make ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to make window corners round in XAML?

  Hi all, I have been trying, to no avail, to make the corners of my application's window round. There are no RadiusX and RadiusY properties. I even tried a border and specified its CornerRadius but then the border appears inside the outer window and the rectangular corners and edges of the primary window are still there. Does anybody know how to achieve that Thank you in anticipation! Kevin The thing to understand about window borders is that they are special, in the sense that they work a bit differently from the rest of WPF. The reason for this is that the window border is at the edge w ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error on build log? and why is this condition not working?

  Based on Dennis Pilarinos blog ( http://www.dennispi.com) I tried to recreate from scratch a simple console workflow project "Loan submit": -The host console sends a Loan submit message with an ID (string) and a value (float) to the workflow. LoanEventArgs myeventargs = new LoanEventArgs (wfInstanceID.InstanceId, "Jumbo" , 100); SubmitLoan( null , myeventargs); -The workflow should be very simple:  Eventsink gets message, if-else checks if amount exceeds certain value, and based on that an InvokeMethod activity is called (either "LoanApproved" or "LoanRejected").  Here are the 2 issues I have: 1- Af ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Installation

  While installing Visual Studio Team Foundation Server, I am getting this error : " Error 32000.The Commandline '"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\Bin\Stsadm.exe" ...' returned non-zero value: -1."

• SQL Server UNION with the second set ordered

  Hi, I was trying to use the UNION construct to combine two tables. The second table was to be sorted before effecting the UNION. The first attempt was the following: SELECT emp_id , assigned_branch_id FROM employee WHERE title = 'Teller' UNION SELECT open_emp_id , open_branch_id FROM account ORDER BY open_emp_id The above was generating an error. I then tried SELECT emp_id , assigned_branch_id FROM employee WHERE title = 'Teller' UNION SELECT e . open_emp_id , e . open_branch_id FROM ( SELECT TOP ( 100 ) PERCENT open_emp_id , open_branch_id FROM account ORDER BY open_e ...Show All

  It appears that you are obsoleting the previous .NET System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings method of reading values from the web.config file.  What is the method for doing this in .NET 2.0 I got it resolved - you need to also include a reference to System.Collections.Specialized.NameValueCollection in order to dimension a variable which can be assigned to the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings class. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Typed Dataset Generator is ignoring DateTimeMode on date columns!?

  Hi everyone, Is anyone else experiencing this Create a new dataset with the Dataset Designer and just add a table with a DateTime column. Set the DateTimeMode to anything besides the default of UnspecifiedLocal, like Unspecified or Local. Click save to generate the designer file. Now the problem.. the DateTimeMode property on the column is not generated in the designer file at all. And at runtime the mode is the default -- UnspecifiedLocal. If I open the xsd in the xml editor it is correct and showing msdata:DateTimeMode="Unspecified" it's just not generating the line of code that sets the DateTimeMode. What gives Thank ...Show All
