• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CommunicationObjectAbortedException

  This is an error I receive while returning an object over a service (net.Tcp binding). The object is an LLBLGenPro EntityCollection. The EntityCollection contains EmployeeEntities. I can successfully return such a collection if the size of the collection is smaller than about 20 entries. But if it is any bigger I get the following error: An error occurred while transmitting data. System.IO.IOException: The read operation failed, see inner exception. ---> System.ServiceModel.CommunicationObjectAbortedException: The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded b ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Where Can I download MSF V4 WhitePapers

  Where can i download the latest  MSFv4 WhitePapers Thanks for the useful websites . Im looking for a more general version of MSF V4 docs like the MSF 3.1 documents where we have seperate docs for all the disciplines. I couldnt find these kind of very generic MSF docs for V4 . Every MSF 4  doc was more specific to the VS 2005 team system only. One of the things i liked about MSF 3 was its Generic features and the not so formal approach yet formal enough. With MSF 4 and VSTS tightly coupled , Developers who dont use VS 2005 will be feeling left out from the MSF 4  world. Also,   why this forum ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2000 alongside SQL Express?

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Data templates and interfaces

  I'm trying to data bind a list to a collection of type ObservableCollection<IMyInterface>. The data binding works well, but the catch seems to be that I have to create a data template with the type set to the concrete type of the objects in the collection rather than the interface type. This is a problem since some of the items in the list are supplied by plug-ins to the base application and I don't necessarily know the concrete type. Everything I need to populate the data template is in the interface. My question comes down to Is there a way to specify the template based on the collection type rather than the concrete object type or s ...Show All

• .NET Development Hashtable.Item thread safety

  Hi, I need to know if the Item property of the Hashtable class is thread safe for reading. I just want to be sure because I don't want to introduce the overhead of synching mechanisms unnecessarily. Thanks in advance. Juan. I was looking at the disassembly produced by .NET Reflector for the Hashtable class and this is what I found: The Hashtable.Synchronized method returns a SyncHashtable instance which is a wrapper around the original Hashtable, the getter for the Item property for this wrapper just plain calls the original Hashtable's getter without making any locks, as opposed to the setter which does ma ...Show All
