• Visual Studio new behavior of string Replace function in VS2005

  Hi all, We have a function that makes use of the string replace function in a CR formula.   In previous versions of .NET (both VS2003, and earlier) this worked OK.  Now running in VS2005, the behavior of this function is different. Here is a sample of the code:     StringVar sTemp := Replace ({Notices.ReminderNotice}, "@Name", {@DriverName }, 1, -1, 1 );     sTemp := Replace (sTemp, "@Type", {SourceTable.MaintItemName}, 1, -1, 1 );     sTemp := Replace (sTemp, "@Date", CStr ({SourceTable.MaintItemDate}), 1, -1, 1 );     sTemp In VS2005, the string repla ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Web services and runtime compilation

  I have a couple of questions about exposing the web service activities in a runtime-compiled worklfow: 1. If my .xoml workflow definition includes a couple of WebServiceReceive and WebServiceResponse activities and I compile it in runtime with a WorkflowCompiler object, are the appropriate web services and methods going to be generated As I understand, in VS.NET the web service is generated when the project is being compiled. 2. If a composite custom activity is composed of a WebServiceReceive and WebServiceResponse methods and I use it in some workflow, is the web service going to be generated when the workflow is compiled What ...Show All

• Visual C++ mkDir

  Is there a way to use _tmkdir to create an entire directory given a path For example, if I give C:\AA\BB\CC , then assuming AA, BB and CC do not exist, the function should create all of them. Thanks, KarthikR From the help at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt__mkdir.2c_._wmkdir.asp , it looks like _tmkdir can only create one directory at a time. What you can do is do your own algorithm for such creation of 3 directories. Thanks, Ayman Shoukry VC++ Team ...Show All

• SQL Server ordinal position

  i have two tables with the same column names. is there a SP that i can use to order the columns exactly same way in both the tables. Thanks In general, you should not be ascribing an order to the columns in a table. Simply select the columns in the desired order. Having said that, there are columns in the syscolumns table that can provide an ordering. Both colid and colorder should work and appear to be equal in general. ...Show All

• Visual C# Reading and Modifying XML using XmlDocument

  hi.. i have already prepared XML file which i want to modify for some nodes.By using XMLDocument i want to that... can anyone has some solution for this.. Thanks You use the SelectSingleNode method to retrieve the node to be modified using an XPath query. Or you can just want the ChildNodes collection. Regardless, you use one of these techniques to retrieve the node that you want to modify. Then you change the InnerText property.

• Visual Studio VS2003 +IE7 Beta2 crashes...

  With IE7 Beta2 installed on my machine, the help system crashes VS2003 frequently when the internal help option is used. DocExplorer crashes sometimes when used as an external viewer. Also, some entries lose all formatting and display as black text on a white background. Is anyone else having these problems I haven't tested this with VS2005. I could uninstall the IE7 beta but I'm hoping there is some way to force DocExplorer to use a different version of the WebBrowser control. Is there such a customization Thanks, Jeremy Boschen While I have not seen any crashes, I have definitely seen all the entr ...Show All

• Visual C++ Serial number on usb flash drive.

  I am unable to get the serial number on usb flash drives. It always returns 0 indicating it is not there. I am using DeviceIoControl with IOCTL_GET_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR to get the venderID, productID, and ProductRevision, but the SerialNumber is always 0. Has anyone run into a similar problem As this question is not specific to Visual C++ you would be better off asking it in one of the Win32 support newsgroups.

• .NET Development Deserialize with assembly loaded at runtime gives Unable to find assembly (SerializationException)

  Hello, I'm rather new to .NET and serialization and so on. I have a program that loads a dll assembly (using LoadFrom) at runtime into the current AppDomain. All this loading works perfectly and when I run trough the assemblies of the AppDomain using System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies(); I can see the assembly loaded from the dll. Then I serialize an object of a class in the dll's assembly. I have another application which loads the dll assembly in the same way. I then want to deserialize the previously serialized object and I get a SerializationException saying it couldn't find the assembly. The assembly it doesn't find is the sam ...Show All

  Is that possible if so please point me in the right direction.    I was looking at the example on the MSDN, and on the link provided above, I was trying to reference system.web.services.protols, but it was not found.
