• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Schema Validation

  Based on the DataMember properties like IsRequired, MustUnderstand, etc we are able to change the min occurs and max occurs values, etc of the schema. But i noticed that the requests are not validated against this schema. Is the schema made available so that the client can validate it or am i missing something here :P Regards, Suraj MustUnderstand is not supported anymore (since the Feb CTP) The deserializer does enforce IsRequired; i.e an exception is thrown if a required member is missing. Beyond this the serializer does not do any schema validation. This is intentional. This allows DataContract types to change through ve ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums accessing VBA code from VB.net application

  I have a VBA code as a part of a front end MS Access application. I am interested in knowing how I can call a method in this VBA code from a VB.net application of mine Per our support engineer: I am not sure how you want to use this VBA code method. If you want to call this VBA code method like other methods or functions created in .NET assembly, it is not possible. The VBA code method is defined in Access database and Access database is not like COM server (which can be exposed for .NET application to call). The following articles are about running code or macro in Access database. Run ...Show All

• Windows Forms Proper coding model for running multiple dialogs.

  Hi all. I have a question regarding the correct programming model I should be using for getting multiple dialogs to interact with each other and the user at runtime. Its something I've never been good at - I've been using Visual Studio since version 6, messing with Dialogs in MFC. I didn't have much trouble switching to .NET's framework, but having recently switched to .NET2.0 and Visual C# Express, I'm getting abuse from Mr. MDA telling me that I shouldn't be accessing controls in threads that didn't create them. (So how on earth does one do ShowDialog(mainWindow) now ) Now I do realise I'm no expert, but I didn't think I'd been doing anyth ...Show All

• .NET Development Assemblies in GAC

  Hi all, we need to figure out which version of a dll in the GAC our application is using and I hope someone here can give me at least a hint. Here is the situation: We have several VB.NET assemblies in the GAC and there are several versions of each of these dll's in the GAC. After a recent server rebuild, we found that we have no idea which applications need which version of the dll's. I can recreate the different versions for each dll from version control, since the dlls are small and there is a good version history in the assembly.info files. But the applications that use these dlls do not indicate which version they are looking for. ...Show All
