• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Passing parameters to services

  Hello All, Hoping for a quick idea of the "best" way to pass simple parameters to services. For instance, I am developing a service that hooks into a SQL database for it's data persistance... anyone know the best way for the service's constructor to pull a connection string out the creating host Thanks, Rick You could store your data in an IExtension < ServiceHostBase > object (or at a different level if you like). See http://windowscommunication.net/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx Control=2241&tabindex=2 for sample. Or you could subclass ServiceHost with additional proper ...Show All

• .NET Development can i create web forms from xml templates

  I'm producing a dynamic web form system which stores the web page in the database. It renders the page from the database to a real page by adding the controls to the ControlCollection of a PlaceHolder control. There appears no easy way to do this- I go through each element of the web page, work out which control it is, create the control and add it to the collection. I think the process is correct. The way I work out which control to create involves a large switch statement. I then iterate through all the attributes to set the control attributes. This bit of the process is complicated and I think is wrong! Is this process possible- ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Scenarios list, when?

  The Scenario List is an entry point for Planning Trac k and for its workstreams Create a Scenario and Define-Update Test Approach too. I couldn't find it as a result of any activity of Envision Track . When should it be done There is an exit criteria for Create a Scenario , Prioritized list of scenarios , so I'm assuming this is the point we create the Scenario List . But in other hand, Scenario List is an entry point for Define-Update Test Approach and this contains a dependency for Scenario List . This is the point I got confused, what am I missing here One more thing... Is Define-Update Test Approach a workstream It says so, but doesn' ...Show All

• SQL Server Having trouble getting connections

  I have a custom Data Flow Destination Adapter that is looking for a particular type of ConnectionManager. I want to check that this connection exists in the Validate method. I first checked the ComponentMetedata.RuntimeConnections, but it was was an empty collection. I am guessing that it gets populated at runtime. Is there anything available for to check at design time Another way of asking this would be, Is there a way to programatically select which ConnectionManager gets assigned to a RuntimeConnection Normally, this is done on the Connections tab of the Advanced Editor. Thanks, Graham   I would ...Show All

• .NET Development Error in SoapFormatter after registering remoting objects

  We have a application which receive Datatables over Remoting and then show the content in an UltraGrid from Infragistics. The nice feature of this Grid is that it can load and save their Display layout with the Soapformatter. From Framework Version 1.0 to 2.0 Feb CTP this works very fine but now in Beta2 after register a Remoting object with the following line: RemotingConfiguration .RegisterActivatedClientType( typeof ( rawConnection ), "tcp://" + HostName + ":" + 12000); The SoapFormatter doesn’t work anymore with the following lines: SoapFormatter f = new SoapFormatter ( null , new System.Runtime.Serialization.

  Will this ever be addressed properly I have followed the instructions to edit "VCProjectEngine.Dll.Express.config". I do not have a "vccomponents.dat". Visual C++ still does not  recognise my specified directories and can not find any external header files. This is very frustrating. Log a bug against such documentation at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/default.aspx  and the responsiblefolks should update the instructions.

• Visual C# Encrypt string using DES

  Hi to all, I'm trying to encrypt a string using DES, but I'm not getting the result that I espected. Key 0123456789ABCDEF Data 1234567890123445 Result BD0B1A49070AC376 (this is using CrypTools, I also get the same value using a program that I made using C#).

• Visual Basic Parameters in TableAdapters

• Visual C++ How do I distribute Visual Studio 2005 apps?

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional to create a C++/MFC application. I just recently made the switch to VS2005 (from version 6.0!) so there's probably a lot of stuff I have yet to learn... Anyway, I recently tried to give a user a work-in-progress version of the executable for testing, and the user reported that the program failed with the following message: "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect." The application is a straight-up native C++ program linking to MFC in a shared DLL. The only other dependency of the project is GDI+ (gdiplus.lib). I did a bit of lo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Camera transform affects hit test results

  I used to move the camera by modifying the Location and Up vector. Nov CTP introduced camera transform so I have rewritten the application to use this property. The problem is that if the camera transform is not the identity, the hit test results are "distorted" (I am clicking on an object and a different one is selected). I am not sure but I suspect that camera transform is not taken into account when converting the 2D hit point into a 3D ray. This bug has been fixed. It may have made it into the Jan CTP but if not it is in the Feb CTP. Let us know if you still have any problems with latest CTP. Jordan (Hmm... the po ...Show All
