• Visual Studio Team System Side-effects of TestCase : MarshalByRefObject

  I have some scenarios where I would like to reference my TestClasses across AppDomain boundaries.   Are there any potential side effects to having a TestClass derive from MarshalByRefObject as far as the (mstest)runtime framework is concerned   (Assuming for the moment that I have a valid reason for needing to do this :-)  )  In other words, does the framework rely on the fact that TestCase classes by default are not able to be marshalled     I am not aware of anything that would cause you any trouble (Assuming for noew we are only talking abou ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling a WebReference operation name the same as the Web service name

  In the WSDL below, the Web Service is "CalcService" and it contains an operation also called "CalcService". When adding a WebReference to this WSDL, the proxy generated (CalcService class) contains a "CallCalcService" method for the "CalcService" operation - persumeably because a method "CalcService" would be mistaken for a constructor. Calling the "CallCalcService" method tries to invoke a "CallCalcService" operation on the Web Service, which doesn't exist. Calling the other methods on the proxy work fine. Looking at the code with Reflector, the method passes the "CalcService" method name to SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(), ...Show All

• .NET Development High performance sockets and SslStream

  Hi guys, I'm involved in a project where we need a high performance comms engine, capable of communicating with several thousands of clients simultaneously. My question is, would using SSLstream for normal channel encryption be fast enough i.e. is it recommended for high performance comms I was thinking of alternatives, one of which being: Use a TCPClient and SSLStream to authenticate the server, perform symmetric key exchange, either with the sslstream, or by using RSA on a raw socket. I'd then switch to a raw socket and use the symmetric key (probably 3DES or Rijndael) for normal channel encryption. I know this is a bit of a pain in the ...Show All

• SQL Server Text field problem

  Hi, in MSDN is written reguarding WRITETEXT : data Is the actual text , ntext or image data to store. data can be a literal or a variable. The maximum length of text that can be inserted interactively with WRITETEXT is approximately 120 KB for text , ntext , and image data. I am tring to insert a text which has around 9000 charcters using WRITETEXT which is less then 10KB , but surprise: after the execution of the sql statement my field remains empty. WHY I've tested this command and found out that it only accepts 900 characters, which is 995 bytes. I execute this SQL statements sequence: USE RWIN ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Open an excel file

  Hope you will help a beginner .. Here's what I want to do:  In a VBA subroutine, try to open an excel file with a particular name say, P01GAB.xls.  It may not be in the diretory, if not, wait for 10 seconds and try again.  If so, open it and go on to the next thing.  (Eventually, it will be in the directory...)  So, I take it, I need some sort of error trap on the Workbooks.Open command... Thanks much.   Oops! That piece of code should now look like this: for i=1 to iMax on error resume next set wb = workbooks.open(sPath & "\" & sFile) on error goto 0 if not ...Show All

• Visual Studio Is it possible to make comments snap-to-grid?

  Is it possible to make comments snap-to-grid when resizing and moving like the other shapes The ability to adjust alignment within the comments would also be handy, I'm assuming that this isn't possible Yes, unfortunately they are not supported.  A workaround for snap to grid is you could multi-select the comment shape with other shapes and then move.  It should make the comment shape snap to grid.

• SQL Server SQL Express with Advanced Services - what Reporting Features does it have?

  I work for an ISV, and some of our customers use SQL Server, others use SQL Server Express. I need to develop some reports, so I was happy to read that SQL Express with Advanced Services would have some (limited ) Reporting Services available. Unfortunately, the sign-up period to beta test appears to be over, and so I am left wondering exactly what functions will be available. Is there anyone out there who has played around with the beta version reporting functions The RS features that are included with Express Advanced are described here: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/technologies/reporting/rsfeatures.mspx ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office "Office document customization is not available" error

  This error happens very frequently when an Excel VSTO project is built and run within VS. The Excel file will open, but this error will occur.
