• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DLink -- Object DAC

  Hi, I am a system architect for fujitsu australia and we have developped something very close to DLINK in a SQL object DAC. I can't discuss the details of our implemetnation online but I would like to suggest a few things. 1- Being able to automatically map an entity to a table while still being able to exclude a few of the fields from being stored... (they may be calculated or even be UI centric) 2- Being able to have an ID inner class that would be stored flat in the database. That allows for the ID class to implement the IComparable for sorting purposes. 3- We have also found that it is important (in hierarchies) to manage the numb ...Show All

  The ReportViewer's body doesn't show up if I put the ReportViewer into an HtmlTableCell or TabStrip/Multipage from ComponentArt. I explicitly set the ReportViewer.ShowReportBody to be true. Has anyone experiencing this kind of problem Please help me out. Thanks in advance. You are probably running into a well known xhtml issue. See www.gotreportviewer.com , FAQ #14.

  Hi, I uploaded a 2.5 Mb document (excel) in my document library on the Sharepoint Services server, when a user tries to open it - it takes a very long time over 1 minute to open a document.

• Visual Studio Team System Passing values from one web test to another

  I realise that values can be passed from one WebTest to another using the Context. I have written a generic ValidationRule and I want people to be able to pass me an XPath to use as part iof the Validate evaluation. The XPath statement they are intertested in may be dynamic with parts of it changing based on test variables. For example, I could have a test that lets me buy from a shopping site and the item i buy is data driven. The test could be written to place the "item bought code" in a variable called "MyVar" in the test's Context. My generic validation rule knows nothing of this context variable of "MyVar" but does take an XPath. I ...Show All

• .NET Development TCPIP Messages Bunching Up! Any help appreciated.

  Hi guys, I have a client/server application in development (VB.NET 2005). Part of the appication's features require the server to send one or more messages to all the clients when the system time reaches a certain value.

However, some strange things have been happening with the network streams. In one instance, the server sends three seperate messages to the clients via network streams when the clock reaches 8pm.
