• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) [bug] wcf hangs indefinitely on complex type when returning (worked on feb ctp)

  In the may beta 2 release, I can no longer return some of my domain types. Something I could do perfectly with the feb. ctp. My domain model is decorated with the correct datacontract and datamember attributes. In it I have a 'Person' which inherits from a base class. In that baseclass I have a private bool. This class serializes and deserializes great. However, when I use some other domain object, which has a property of type 'Person', the server never returns to the client. Commenting out the private boolean [Datamember] attribute, does let it return. (obviously, this is not a workaround I can consider). I have created a test where I ...Show All

• SQL Server Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function

  Hi all, I am having a weird issue after we upgraded our DB server to SQL 2005. I have a SP used to extract exchange rate, and a job calls this SP daily. This job worked fine on SQL 2000, and works very well in Management studio if I call this SP seperately, but failed in sql job in 2005. The error statement pointed to: select left(@row, charindex(',', @row)-1), REVERSE(left(@reversedrow, charindex(',', @reversedrow)-1)) The error message is: Invalid length parameter passed to the SUBSTRING function. Anyone knows what's the difference for LEFT function between sql 2000 and 2005 Thanks Bill I would imagine C ...Show All

• Windows Forms More information

  When we use the grid, it auto-generates columns for us. At first I thought that was handy. We removed some columns, but they are again re-generated automatically. ITEM TWO We also noticed that the order of the columns is not the same at run time as it is at design time. Note: I am using VSTS Beta 3. Beat regards, Jerry Nixon YES!  I have the same problems!  A copy of all of my textboxcolumns (I have 27) gets generated, but they are not referenced.  Also, the column order gets switched -- for me, I get all of my image columns first, then my combo box columns, then my text box columns.  It's VERY ann ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to print a simple JPEG ?

  I am just want to print a very simple jpeg from my hard drive using the report control How can I do The jpeg path may change up to different record You can create a report with an image control that gets the image bytes from a data source. At runtime, you can construct a single column, single row data set that contains your report bytes and pass it to the viewer. But I'd like to understand your scenario a little better. If the only thing you want to do is print a single image, without displaying any data/aggregations/charts, etc there may be other winforms controls, or even a small amount of code that could do the job more easily. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Email, Exchange integration

  Just a quick question if anybody has any ideas.  We typically generate a lot of email around a project and store these in dedicated project mail boxes.  I just wondered if anybody has any ideas if it would be possible to link to a specific mailbox in exchange to somewhere within TFS project. You can't map an Outlook folder to a TFS project.  However, you can subscribe to email alerts on work items in a team project.  There's also a sample in the Beta 2 Extensibility Kit that covers how you could write a tool that synchronizes between TFS and Outlook.  We will provide ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Excel Application Object question

  I'm currently trying to make a program that interacts with Excel.  Problem is that when I'm editing a cell directly and try to change the property of ANY cell, the program crashes and says I can't edit the property (stuff like ColorIndex). How on earth can I detect if a cell is currently being edited I'm using the Excel application version that is from Office XP, not Office 2003. You might get some better results by asking in the Visual Studio Tools for Office Forums. ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Needs a Property keyword like MC++ has now

  I've said this before, even directly to Anders, and I'll say it again: C# needs a simpler way to declare properties. Don't believe me Check out this video of a John Lam talk about the future of programming languages that espouses dynamic programming langauges like Ruby: http://www.ftponline.com/channels/net/reports/vsliveto/2006/multimedia/lam.aspx About 1/5 of the way into the presentation he gives this example of a piece of code everybody has to write and should be sick of doing by now: private string _data; public string Data { get { return _data; } set { _data = value; } } He's right.
