The Webserive returns an array of complex data types. When I invoke the method, how do I type cast the response object into the complex data type After invoking the metho ...Show All

• Visual C++ What's Better?

  Which close function works better in C++ Close();   or this->Close();   Somebody told me that one of them has errors but I wanted your opinion first. They're identical.  The one reason you would want to use this->Close() over Close() is if you want to use Intellisense for the class that you're currently in to see what members are in the class and saving typing the word "Close".  A reason you ...Show All

• .NET Development command-line tool to convert DTD to XSD?

  For historical reasons, we maintain some XML schemas in the form of DTD files, rather than XSD. I have used the "Create Schema" command inside Visual Studio to convert the file to an XSD file, which I'm then running xsd.exe on to create .NET classes. I would like to automate this process as part of our build. Is there a command-line tool which will do the same conversion You can find such a utility at ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to link to the correct STL library when a third party dll is based on VC6?

  I have a third party dll targeted for VC6 and .net 2003. It worked well with my old MFC application. After it was migrated to VC 2005, it throws an exception of access violation whenever the stl string information in the object is accessed. Accessing other members of the object is OK. I guess it might be linked to the stl.net library instead of the old stl library that the dll is based on. Anyone knows what is the problem  and how it c ...Show All

  I am using IIS 6.0 and SQL 2005 SP1. I have IIS configured to log via ODBC using SQL.
