• .NET Development How to consume Webservices

  Hi, Im quite new to webservices. These are my questions. 1. Im just wondering on how to consume webservices. For example, I have a webmethod that returns a Dataset object how would I consume it in the client I tried casting the result to DataSet object and it just wont convert... 2. I've read in a forum that its not advisable to return a complex class/structure (eg Dataset Class) instead, stick to the simple structured xml.

• Visual Studio PLK Submission and the VSITsignoff.xls spreadsheet

  Hello, As I was going through the February 06 help I was following through how to submit for a PLK for distribution. I was going over the sections for the VSIT and the signoff checklist. When I was reading it, I was under the impression that it needed to be filled in and submitted for a PLK... But when I looked at the PLK submission area in the VSIP control panel there is no area for submitting it. Is this checklist just to help you out in ensuring that all of your integration meets the necessary requirements for not harming the rest of VS.NET and for your own internal use Or is a file that needs to be submitted. Thanks for anyo ...Show All

• SQL Server Printing SSRS 2000 Report from VB.net

• Windows Forms Windows forms and command line arguments

  I'd like to write an application that can accept either input from forms or the command line. I'm using the environment.getcommandlineargs() method to great success... however, I'm wondering if there's a way I can return information to the user at the command line. More specifically, I'd like to provide a / parameter and return some usage information. Can anyone assist Thanks! In your application startup method you can test if the user has provided command line arguments. If they have then process them without creating any user interface and output results using Console.WriteLine. If they provid ...Show All

• Visual C++ BeginInvoke help!

  From what I read, BeginInvoke can be used to call functions that take a long time to execute by making them execute on a separate thread.  I wrote a little test program to try this and I cant get it to work.  Forgive me if I have got it completely wrong, i've only moved from 'C' to VC++.NET in the last few months. I have a button that when clicked should run a little delay routine (large_function in external_class) for a couple of seconds (using a loop and the stopwatch).  I expect to see the GUI responsive and show whats happening via the label, but i'm having a bit of trouble on gettining the BeginInvoke and EndInvoke parts ...Show All

• Visual C++ Crash in destructor

  I'm using gtkmm 2.8.2 with Visual C++ 2005 Express to port a program from Linux to Windows. I'm using the win32 binaries from http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/ , which were apparently compiled with MSVC 2003, therefore I have to use the option /vd2 ( http://www.pcpm.ucl.ac.be/~gustin/win32_ports/ mentions this). Perhaps this causes my problem, but I don't know enough about the details of the C++ object layout that is used by MSVC. The problem is an access violation in a destructor. Anyway, here is an annotated disassembly of the destructor where the crash occurs: ; This is apparently just the usual prologue 00DC2600 pu ...Show All

• SQL Server snapshot isolation and ADO (VBA)

  Hi, could somebody please provide me with an example of snapshot isolation level for ADODB (VBA) Because ADODB.Connection.IsolationLevel does not included snapshot as a new level. May be it is possible to add something to connection string like Conn.Open "PROVIDER=MSDASQL;driver={SQL Native Client};server=localhost;database=dbone;" Thank you. You might be able to set the isolation level directly via TSQL command: 'set transaction isolation level snapshot' You should be carefull here if your connection is already enlisted in a transaction. The transaction can be rolled back if the isolation lev ...Show All
