  Hi, I have an issue, if you could find time then can you please suggest some opinion Issue: I have a dotnet solution and under that a no. of projects are existing. I want to control project settings(like buid type, Enable/Disable Framepointer etc..) for each project from one common place (may be xml file or anything else).

One way is that writing perl script and change each and every project's settings before building after check-in and check-outs that is very time taking.

• Visual Basic COM visible DLLs: are they only legends?

  Can anybody provide a direct, straightforward method of creating a DLL with properties and methods exposed to other programs I followed the instructions that I found on the MSDN websites as well as suggestions from forum participants. The DLL should be available both for COM and .NET programs. So far, nothing has worked. There are numerous variations listed on the MSDN site. No doubt there are reasons for the differing instructions. However, I have not had sufficient success with any of them. Sometimes, just building the project makes the class visible to COM compatible programs. Other times, only after running regasm. Still other times, I h ...Show All

If ISVs (independent software vendors) could plug their SQL Server tool(s) into Management Studio – creating a single environment for you to work in – which tools do you use that you’d like to see surfaced in Management Studio.

Also, IntelliSense would be very nice.  Apex SQL Edit has their own, however I like the VS / SQLMS interface better. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) HOW TO: turn off WS-Policy generation in ?wsdl from WCF service to enable Java service interop over TCP

  I have created a simple WCF service that has a custom binding. The custom binding only has a TextMessageEncoding and a TcpTransport. I am trying to get an Axis2 Java service client to call my simple service over TCP. The generated WSDL contains the following WS-Policy assertions - even with my simple CustomBinding. The Axis2 RC1 framework has limited support for any WS-Policy assertions. As a result, I am getting an error on the WCF side of things when calling service from the java proxy code. QUESTION: Is there a way to modify my service contract [or other contract] so the service and generated WSDL doesn't expect this WS-Policy stuff ...Show All
