• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Tweaking DataContract-generated schema

  Suppose I am building a WCF service using DataContracts. My service is working great, but I'd like to make some modifications to message schemas exposed by this service's metadata. For instance, I might want to set minOccurs and maxOccurs on some elements of the schema, or add some key/keyrefs to try to clarify some of the relationships within the data of these messages. (Note that I'm not trying to change the structure of the actual messages on the wire, just trying to enrich the metadata so consumers have a better sense of how to use/interpret these messages.) Is there a way of intercepting/injecting customized schemas in a service's ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal Report Auto Checkout

  We have some strange behavior happening on a few of our development machines. The IDE for VS 2003 will be open and an embedded Crystal Report will be in design mode.

• Visual Studio Team System VS2005 stuck in Team Foundation mode!?

  I previously installed Team Foundation Server, but didn't complete installation when I realised my machine didn't meet the requirements. I then downloaded the Team Suite and installed. On the PC where I had Team Foundation Server installed, VS2005 seems to be running in a 'Team Foundation' mode where it wants to connect to a Foundation Server and doesn't have the usual local options for viewing a project with the View > Solution Explorer window etc... How can I switch this VS2005 back into local developer mode, like it is on the other PC where I didn't try to install Team Foundation Server I assume there's a switch or option but I'm damne ...Show All

• Visual C# How to set up a Web app in Visual Studio 2003?

  I just posted a question on namespace System.Web.UI and am beginning to think that perhaps my trouble is related to the fact that I am using the namespace out of a Windows Application. I really need to set up a Web application but the browser does not allow me to do it. It is bizarre. When I click on File-->new-->Project-->ASP.NET Web Application I have to choose a location from a combobox. There are a few options there. None of them works. My attempt to anchor the application to any of the web directories fails. If I choose http://localhost, I get an error message: "The Web Server reported the following error when attempting to cre ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Two O/R Mappers from Microsoft? Say it ain't so!

  I've been hearing a lot of rumors coming out of TechEd that Microsoft is going to be releasing two O/R Mappers, DLINQ (Linq to Sql), and Linq for Entities. Please tell me this isn't true! We already have too many O/R Mappers, let's not make it so Microsoft has too two many as well! http://steve.emxsoftware.com/ORMappers/As+if+we+need+more+OR+Mappers - Steve Kind of true - I am here at Tech Ed and went down and talked to the LINQ and ADO.NET 3.0 folks. They are working together on these capabilities and the end result is still up in the air - they aren't sure if the two will merge or if they will remain sepa ...Show All

• Smart Device Development MissingMethodException when trying to directly access SQL Server throught .Net Compact Framework 2.0

• Visual C++ Why is strdup() deprecated in VS 2005?

    < hyslopc@discussions.microsoft.com > wrote in message news:9a93850c-505b-48c3-bd60-44625db8bbc6_WBRev2_@discussions..microsoft.com ... This post has been edited either by the author or a moderator in the Microsoft Forums: http://forums.microsoft.com You may not care about it, but I do.  I don't want to disable the warning because I think the concerns with most of the deprecated functions are very valid, and only wished Microsoft had done this a long time ago.  As such, I have taken the opportunity to change a lot of my code to use the new functions.  The problem ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Will VS 2003 still be available after transitioning subscription

  Hi all, My company is considering transitioning our Universal Subscription to take advantage of the free upgrade so that we can have access to Team System for Developer. However, we may not want to start using this for some time. My boss wants to be sure that we will still have access to all of the products we currently have access to, including Visual Studio 2003. Thanks for reading. If you have Universal, I recommend that you transistion to Team System Suite (it contains developer, tester, and architect all in one). I believe that VS2003 is still included in the Subscription. However, there is a MSB ...Show All
