• .NET Development Upgrading project to ASP.NET 2.0: find_business Web Service method name is not valid.

  In the ASP.NET 1.1 project a UDDI proxy is used.   I converted the project with the Visual Studio 2005 Conversion Wizard to ASP.Net 2.0 Beta 2 and saved the proxy file (UDDIProxy.cs/ This source code was auto-generated by wsdl, Version=1.0.3705.288. ) in the App_Code folder. If I call the proxy in the application I get the error: find_business Web Service method name is not valid. I am not able to add a Web Reference to the App_WebReferences folder with the WSDL file of uddi.microsoft.com because I cannot find this file on uddi.microsoft.com. Perhaps someone can tell me where I can find the WSDL file for uddi.mic ...Show All

• .NET Development Best Practice on two applications talking to each other

  What is the best way to expose a local application feature to other applications I want to expose a static class over multiple applications: ApplicationA.exe consumes StaticClass ApplicationB.exe consumes StaticClass StaticClass is unique in the user machine. Should I have a .Net remoting implementation over a Windows Service or a .Net executable Should I move into AppDomains How can I do that Thanks To my understanding, there is no direct way to share a managed assembly between applications - which is the desired behavior of "StaticClass". Unmanaged is a different animal and unless explicitly as ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions agreed

  I am the CTO of a large Microsoft-centric tech consulting service. I have spent considerable time over the past month studying and trying out this new starter kit technology. While I must say these starter kits are a great idea, the reality is that they are so poorly supported as to make them worse than useless - they are a waste of time and energy. My take is that they can't be easily installed correctly, as I have attempted installs of each starter kit on various systems, local and remote, and nothing runs. I have wasted hours on these forums, finding an incredible number of similar postings that mirror my own experiences, but none con ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't Create/Use Database Projects is VS2005

  hi, my RTM install of VS2005 (Standard) doesn't seem to offer 'Database Project' as a type of project. Net effect is that when I attempt to open an existing .dpb i get a dialog with " Make sure the application for the project type (.dbp) is installed " When I installed VS2005 & SQL2005 I put SQL2005 on first, and then told the VS install that I didn't need SQL Express (cos' I have the full noise version!). After getting this problem I thought that not choosing SQL Express may have left .dbp bits of of the VS install so I went back and added SQL Express from the add/remove option of the VS installer. But still no good .... Anyone ...Show All

• Windows Forms Invisible text in MessageBox (using VB .NET 2003)

  I am using VB .NET 2003 to do my developing.  Over the past year or so as i have honed my skills, one thing is getting incresingly annoying.  Sometimes when I am testing a theory and want a message box to show the error text or a success message, the message text allocates the right amount of space, it is just invisible. The text on the MessageBox's OK button is invisible too. The caption on the MessageBox shows fine as does the icon.  Anyone else experience this   Anyone know how to get around / fix this     - Thanks in advance for any and all help in this matter. ...Show All

• SQL Server Newbie: "Compiling" a DTSx package

  I have now created a few simple SSIS packages. In BIDS I right-clicked on a solution and selected "Build". I went to the "bin" directory hoping to find a standalone ".exe\.dll" file but found only a ".dtsx' file. Can BIDS can actually build a standalone exe\dll or is the .dtsx file all that's available (If so, I guess that another program is expected to invoke the .dtsx file.) TIA, barker In my SSIS package deployments, I've deployed my packages via file system files. Basically, all you get for this is a .dtsx file in your /bin folder. To the best of my ...Show All

• Visual Studio dbg files not compatible with dlls - causing debug issues

  Basic problem: Following installation a message instructed me to install the symbol set. During installation of the symbol set, for some of the dbg files a message was given saying that dbg file was not consistent with its associated dll, and therefore I chose not to install it. I now think these missing dbg files may be the cause of debug problem. I do not know why my regular installation of VC++ and the symbol set should be imcompatible with these dlls. Can any one suggest how to resolve this and get dbgs that are compatible Thanks, Andrew H More detail: Using Step into in Vis C++ I can successfully step into construction ...Show All

• Visual C# Spacing formatting and return statement

  The new spacing options in VS2005 are really cool (Tools/Options/Text Editor/C#/Formatting/Spacing). You can control almost all formatting aspects. "Almost" because I did not find a way to control the spacing after "return". I like to write code like: return(result); instead of: return result; The auto-formatting gives me: return (result); Yes, I can live with that, but you know... old habits, ... Does somebody know if it is possible somewhere to control this kind of spacing Regards Sebastien Some add ins may allow it. OR you could write a macro that does a f ...Show All
