• .NET Development Many Webmethods

  I'm starting a relative big system and I'm using Web Services as a middle tier for remote access features. It's not a SOA application and will not integrate with anothers systems by this Web Services. In that system I will take hundreds of webmethods and if I split each section of the system (clients, payments, orders...) in a separate web service each webservice will be so big and any new webmethods modifications will have a greater proxy update impact (in my account I will take 10 to 15 web services each one with 20-150 webmethods). As a solution I'm thinking in use just a single webmethod that receive a name of a resource like " ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums A lot of pushpins

  I need to add a lot of pushpins, such as 1000 for example. When you add 1000 pushpins , VE control starts to act very slowly . Panning and zooming is slowed down a lot. I did not see any limitations on the number of pins in API documentation. Is there any alternative solution to speed this up Here is a sample code. Using VE v3 control. map.DeleteAllPushpins(); for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) { var pin = new VEPushpin( i, new VELatLong(result[ i ].Lat, result[ i ].Lon), 'pushpin.gif', 'test title', 'test body' ); map.AddPushpin(pin); } Hello, I would do this importing a GeoRSS file with your p ...Show All

• Smart Device Development no website is configured at this address.

  Hi all, I am trying to build a basic web service from a Pocket PC 2003 SE Emulator that prints "Hello World" in a textbox after a button click.

• Visual Basic Objects and instances

  Hmmm... this is really quite a simple question, but never mind! I want to make a simple game which uses a grid of buttons. Each of these buttons has EXACTLY the same characteristics, but I cant put them all in manually for two reasons: There are 100 buttons to put in most of the time (time consuming!) The user is given the option of how many rows and columns of buttons to put in How do you define the behaviour for a button such as this (ie what code do you use), and how do you add more than one instance of exactly the same button at run time -Javawag   How do you make it s ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Date problem in VFP 6.0

  Hello! Huh, I currently have field named 'fine' in my DB. It's used to store fines. There two other fields, 'rent-date' and 'no_of_days'. The first one stores the date on which the rent of a book starts and the second one stores the number of days the book is going to stay with the borrower. Well, I would like to know how can I calculate the fine. To calculate it, I must find by how many days the due date has been "excessed" and then multiply it by a fine of 10 per day. I must do it without adding a 'due_date' field. Can anyone suggest a piece of code I have tried using the date functions...but I have messed up everything. ...Show All

• SQL Server Can you setup backup/restore functionality in SQL Express 2005 from a C# app?

  Hi, I'm currently working on a project which uses a SQL Express 2005 database. I want to be able to setup SQL Express from my C# program so that it can perform backups to a specified path location at the requested interval itself. This would free up my program from having to manage the backups. Just wanted to know if this is possible Also, when the current database becomes corrupt will SQL Express perform the restore for the user automatically, instead of them having to manually request a restore I realize that it might not be able to handle the restores in the same way as backups, but I figured I'd at least ask. Thanks, ...Show All

I couldn't figure out how to add existing projects to the solution with project template and/or solution template.

• Visual Studio Team System Error 3200 ... /ReportServer/ReportService.asmx returned a non-zero value of xy

  Good evening all, After browsing the forums a bit I've noticed that I'm certainly not alone here. I too am suffering from the 3200 'web service' error. However, I've spent about three days back-to-back trying each and every solution listed here but to no avail. To top it off, my server setup isn't exactly anything special: a standard Win2k3 box, latest updates etc. It also runs SQL 2000 and SQL 2005. Basically, I cannot install TFS release.
