• .NET Development XmlSerialization problem

Is there is any way to stop XmlSerialization from making serialization. Also it add extra namesapce to ecah element of the body. Does there anyway to abvoid this. The code I am using is: =================== MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream(); XmlTypeMapping myMapping = ( new SoapReflectionImporter ()).ImportTypeMapping( typeof (SetParameterValues)); XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(myMapping); XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNam ...Show All

• SQL Server Crashes all over!

  Since downloading the released( ) version of SQL and Visual Studio 2005, my Visual Studio environment crashes quite often when doing Reporting Services work(and this was a clean install after a hard drive format).  ASP.Net and other VS tasks work fine - it seems to be just Reprting Services that is buggy.  Here are the instances in which it crashes: - The most frustrating is when I'm trying to design a report based on stored procedures with parameters, if the parameters aren't wired up correctly and you hit preview report, Visual Studio crashes.  This probably happened 20-30 times yesterday - so much that I've had to revert to ...Show All

• SQL Server Dependent report parameters help

  I have four parameters for my report: StartDate, EndDate, TankID (the ID of a thank going from V01 to V20 and from S01 to S20) and Site (the location of the tanks, for example: the V-tanks are in Belgium (BE) and the S-tanks are in Spain (SP)) The thing I want to do is: If I set parameter "Site" to "Belgium" then only the tanks in belgium will be shown as values in the dropdown of the "TankID" parameter. If site = Spain, only spanish tanks will be shown in tankid parameter dropdown box. I tried adding a new dataset which has as default value the parameter of the "Site". Also tried some other stuff but ...Show All

• Visual Studio Hosting the VS Web Browser

  Hello, I was wondering if there's a way to host the VS web browser inside an editor window. What I'd like to do is use a custom page with links that can interact with the IDE. For instance, if I click on a link that says "show tool window x" it will display a that tool window. It has to be in html and from what I understand, the VS web browser is designed to allow VS automation. Thanks in advance. Yes, you can host the web browser in your own window. The web browser inside of Visual Studio had the ability to give access to the automation model (if you were using a specific protocol), b ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums API Questions

  I've run into a couple of issues in my development. Both are easy enough to work around but I'd prefer clarification if possible. The first issue is with the response. I seem to be getting a garbage character at the beginning of my response stream. This is preventing me from duming the response directly into the XmlDocument.Load() method. To verify I wrote a console stub and dumped the stream to the screen and it shows as a " " there. I've worked around this by writing the stream to a string then checking for the first occurance of the "<" and passing the substring from there into the .LoadXml() method instead but it feels very hackish ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Passing excel workbook object

  Hi, I have got a form which displays an excel spreadsheet, allowing the user to make selections, which the form picks up. This all works fine. I then have an object which wraps the excel workbook object along with some objects representing the selections that have been made. This wrapper object is passed to another class which uses the information to extract data from the workbook. However, when it attempts to extract the data from the workbook, it throws an exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800A03EC): Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC.    at Excel.ApplicationClass.get_Cells() i know the code ive written to ...Show All

• .NET Development Best Practice for modifying object in collection

  Hi. I am just wondering what is the proper way/correct way/best practice to modify an object located in a specific index of an array The way I have looked at it is to do this: object B index = in array, look for object B if index != -1 //we found it! someCollection[index] = objectB someCollection.Sort(); //or whatever else // do whatever end if is this a bad way if so - why how can it be improved please do tell me, I want to know!! :-) using these datastructures, it's probably the best way to do it. bear in mind that changing items in a collection is not thread safe so if you are working o ...Show All

  Hey, I'm really eger to buy Visual 2005. I'm using Standard version now and I want to ask which version should I buy to have the same features I'm afraid that there will be no Visual C++ 2005 Stardard for 150$.

• SQL Server How to build SQL Commands in a Remote Database Component

  Hello, I'm trying to develop a remote database component for the server that interacts with the database directly.  I would like to pass in my object to the corresponding add, update, delete methods and have the database component generate the script to do the corresponding transaction to the database.  However, I cannot find a viable solution yet.  The only method that I have found so far is passing the exact SQL command to the database component for it to execute.  This would require making a 3 SQL Statement (one for add, update, and delete) for each class.

• .NET Development Obtain a Stack dump ?

  I would like to know if it's possible to perform a full stack dump in .Net Since the VS debugger is basically capable to navigating through the stack granting a visual access to all managed variables of the stack, this must be possible somehow. Such feature would be really useful for various purposes including debugging (post-app crash forensics) but also performance tuning (post-run stack analysis), etc...

• .NET Development Using HttpWebRequest to HTTP POST using Credentials - Underlying connection closed

  I am hoping someone out there knows why this is happening: I am writing an application that is going to be making many requests to authenticated web pages - by authenticated, I mean using HTTP Auth (you know, that grey box that pops up asking you for a username and password). I have been using WebClient for this because I don't need much more functionality than simply reading particular pages or posting to a few of them.  However, I am willing (and have recoded my app) using HttpWebRequest, with the same problem. My problem is this: I can do GET requests just fine (DownloadData using WebClient or just reading the stream usin ...Show All
