• .NET Development Recreating Custom Entity Classes in Web Services

  Hi Guys/Gals, Currently, I am facing some problems in recreating my Custom Entities after passing them out of my web services boundary. In my application, I have developed custom classes to represent entities in my business domain and when I exposed them as parameters in web services methods and have consuming ASP.NET projects access them via "Add Web Reference" in Visual Studio, the classes that were generated by the proxy on the other side are not my custom entities. I would like the ASP.NET application to be able to use my Custom Entity classes. I was wondering if anyone of you know how I can tweak/solve this problem co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Parellel Web Test Requests

  It seems the way the WebTest::GetRequestEnumerator is structured, you cannot have a single instance of a test execute multiple WebTestRequests in parallel. In my case, I have a client app that executes several web service requests in parallel. Is there a way to more accurately simulate this behavior from a single WebTest I should note that you can't easily create web service requests (WebTestRequest with StringHttpBody) as dependent requests in the web test editor. You do have complete control over the requests within a coded web test. Josh ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ObjectSpaces

  Is it true that ObjectSpaces are repleced LINQ Do they still have a plan to release with WinFS Thanks. ObjectSpaces was pulled out of .NET framework almost two years ago. DLinq is now essentially doing object-relational mapping that was once envisioned with ObjectSpaces - though in a much better way due to LINQ.

• Visual C++ Mixing Templates and Generics

  I think I've raised this questions a couple of times and the first time some three years ago - and have never got a real answer. Why does the language disallow mixing templates and generics. What's wrong with: template < typename T > value struct outer {   generic < typename U > void foo(); };   or generic < typename T > ref struct outer {   template < typename U > void foo(); };   And in case you wonder, yes I really wrote some code which exactly does that and I don't think it's hard to think of examples. -hg   Jeff Peil wrote: Th ...Show All

• Visual Basic Drawing Lines on a form

  Ok I've given up trying to draw on a user control ! that seems a right mess seems very buggy to me! So i've transferred my code to drawing on a form surface and it all works ok But!! i have to do it twice for it to work I single step thru my code and can actually see the lines being draw on a Black surface then right at the end the form is repainted with its background colour and all my lines vanish! I've tried re-ordering my code around , setting background colour before doing the drawing etc but nothing seems to work. I am probably missing something obvious so if anyone knows what i'm not understand i would appreciate being enlightened ...Show All

• Windows Forms Searching files in step-by-step mode

  Hello everybody, I would like to get files from big directories. In that context, if the search takes too long (i.e. remote search), I would like to be able to interrupt it (I'am a little bit afraid that Directory.GetFiles() takes too long before returning control to my code...) When I was working with the Win32 API and MFC, I used some FindFirstFile/FindNextFile loop that I could stop on user action. I would like to know if the .NET class library provides such a solution. Any hint Is there a way to "kill" the execution of a method like "Directory.GetFiles()" Thanks. Do the file search ...Show All

• Visual C# VS 8 Performance makes it unuseable

  Hi, We have converted a large c# solution with 12 projects and about 60 Mb of code from VS7 to VS8 and find that working in the IDE is impossibly slow. We are running on a P4 3.2 Ghz 1 Mb RAM with Windows XP SP2 (clean install). It seems slow in all areas of development. The only area where perfomance is as good or better is in running the release code. So far it's a major backwards step when compared to VS 7. Is anyone else experiencing this or does anyone have any advice on how to make developing large projects in the IDE at least as efficient as it was in VS 7 Regards Steve Crabb Hi, Yes, this ...Show All
