• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) next linq release

  Any comment on roughly when the next Linq release is scheduled, and what kinds of changes we can expect Keith, I'm guessing that what Henrik was asking is if it will be easy to do something like do a DLinq query in a Web Service to get an object out of a database, send this object (or a graph or list of objects) to a Web Services client, modify the object in the WS client, then, send it back to the WS and have DLinq update the data in the database. I guess it's more of a Web Services question. But, it would be interesting to know if the ability to do this easily is something that Microsoft is thinking about. I haven't had a ch ...Show All

• .NET Development How to find Install folder of an Assembly which is in GAC

  Hi, In .NET 1/1.1 to find the install directory of an assembly in GAC, we could read the __AssemblyInfo__.ini file present in GAC and get the install folder of the assembly by reading URL=file:///. For example : [AssemblyInfo] Signature=sda8sd6as6d98a7s9d87a9s7fa MVID=24h23kj4hk23h4k23h4k2h34k2h34 URL=file:///D:/MyInstallDirectory/Bin/MyAssembly.dll DisplayName=MyAssembly, Version=3.1.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxyyyyxxxx But now in .NET 2 the file __AssemblyInfo__.ini has been removed. So it is not possible to find the install folder by the previous method. Is there any method by which the install dir can be found out for .NET 2 ...Show All

• SQL Server .Net Framework for SSRS 2005

  Hi, We are plannning to upgrade to SSRS 2005 from SSRS 2000. Does it mean that our clients/users will have to upgrade to framework 2.0 from framework 1.1 inorder to see the SSRS Reports Thanks in advance ! siaj Only the report server installation requires .NET 2.0. If your users also want to use the new ReportBuilder in SSRS 2005, they will need to have .NET 2.0 installed on their local machines. If it is not installed, trying to use ReportBuilder for the first time will provide a notification about the missing .NET Framework 2.0 and ask if the runtime should be downloaded and installed. -- Robert ...Show All

• Visual Basic Updating underlying table

  I have a form based on a BindingSource. The text controls' Data Source Update Mode are set to OnPropertyChanged. The FormClosing method (I almost said "event") has the line Me.nameBindingSource.EndEdit() Changes to the data in the fields on the form are not saved when the form is closed. How can I do this The BindingSource object allows binding and navigation of the underlying data.  There should also be an associated TableAdapter object.  You need to call the Update() method of the TableAdapter and pass it the updated data. (This is assuming you're bound to a database.  ...Show All

• .NET Development GridView wont display records if LIKE is used in Query

  I have an Access Query named "TestQuery".  The Query selects users with "678".  Condition is: Phone LIKE "678*". Any time the dataset that is used by GridView1 is assigned to "TestQuery" it doesn't return any records. (Even though in Access it does). If I modify "TestQuery" and make the condition anything that doesn't include a LIKE it works. Am I missing something Vincent Fournier If I change the Criteria on the Access Query to: Phone LIKE '678%' like you recommended it doesn't select any records when I run the Query within Access but it does in the GridView.  When the Query is: Phone LIKE '678*'. & ...Show All

  Hello, can i find out, if the Internet Explorer can show a File from the file extension For example: My String Path="C:\Documents\my.exe" This file cannot be shown in Internet Explorer. Now i want, that the String Accept="No" The answer to the core quesion is "no". Here is a quote from a MS Security Bulletin : "No. Internet Explorer does not determine file types by the file name extensions that they use." IE will attempt to open a file and look for things it recognizes (such as MIME type data). I think the best you can do is to create your ow ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Debugger does "run" instead of "step into"???

  I am debugging a Win32 native application written in C++ with VS 2005 Professional, and everything goes well, I can step through the code, step into (and step out of) functions, can see the values of the variables, etc. EXCEPT that at some specific function (in my code), when I press F11 to step into it, the debugger "runs" instead, as if I'd have pressed F5. This happens only with one function (so far), I can step into other functions without problems. The function does not have any attributes that would somehow make it different from other functions in the same .cpp file, no special optimization, no #pragmas, nothing, just a regular C++ ...Show All
