• Visual Studio Team System Shared auto-generated stub file in Source Control?

  We have a solution which contains a web service project and multiple client projects.  Rather than using a Web Reference generated by VS2005 we use wsdl.exe to generate the .vb file, then there are some manual modifications we make to that file.  We stick that stub file into a DLL project so it can be shared by the different clients. We have shared checkout for .vb files turned off in our Source Control to make life easier for our dev's.  The web service is split up into multiple .vb files, and multiple dev's may be working on different .vb files at the same time.  Since multiple dev's will be working on the web servic ...Show All

• Windows Forms Let's kill a PDF!!!

  Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has any experience printing an adobe pdf file programmatically, and then killing it so that the process doesn't stay open after the application ends. My problem is that I think I'm killing the process too quickly before it has a chance to spool the information to the printer. If anyone has any advice or experien ...Show All

• Windows Forms FillWeight and binding (DataGridView)

  Is there any way to set the FillWeight property of a column in a DataGridView to 0 instead of its default 100 at the time of binding   The reason is I have a DataTable in a DataSet with an unusually large number of columns that I'm trying to bind to a DataGridView.  I'm getting the error message: InvalidOperationException:  Sum of the columns' FillWeight values cannot exceed 65535. This is happening on the .DataSource assignment. Because the FillWeight property is by default set to 100.0 for each column, this limits me to binding to a DataTable of no more than 655 columns.  This is unacceptable for my needs. I ...Show All

• SQL Server cursor best practice

  Please suggest any best practice for using cursor in stored procedure and trigger, thanks! You should actually avoid cursors as far as possible. If there is a set-based logic that can solve the problem then you should use it instead of cursor based logic. Cursors are procedural in nature and not performant as such. There are however certain tasks that are simplified using cursors like looping through each table to run update stats and so on. So it depends. ...Show All

• .NET Development NullReferenceException when calling PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists(categoryName)

  I am experiencing an odd error in one of my applications where I randomly seem to see NullReferenceExceptions when I call PerformanceCounterCategory.Exists() with a non-null category name.  I am working with version 1.1 of the .NET framework. I have verified that passing a null or empty category name would generate a different exception, so I am pretty certain that the problem is NOT that a "bad" parameter is being passed to this method. Has anyone seen this behavior previously and have any idea what might be causing this exception   I have multiple copies of this application running, and they are each updating counters in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Best Way to Handle Multiple Widget Types

  Hi, Here is my problem: My application handles multiple types of widgets e.g. a blue wudget, a red widget, a green widget etc Each widget has some different properties that are unique to that widget and no other widget has them e.g. a blue one has hieght, a red one has weight etc Now I want to build a form to edit widgets. Clearly as each widget has some unique attributes I cannot use one form (as there will be redundant fields on the form and it will look baaaad). So the question is how do I achieve this Do I create a single base widget form class and then derive a new for for each widget from that i.e. have m ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) About WCF Security

  I have a couple of WCF Services that a client is going to use. When the users login on the client i want to authenticate them using a authentication service that recieves the username and password. The authentication service compares the credentials to a userrow in a database. After the client it authenticated i want the user to be authenticated to all my services. My requiered scenario assumes that i get some kind of "object" as a result from my authentication service. I will pass this "object" to my services when i call them. My services then trust this "object" and look at it when authorizing the call. ...Show All
