• .NET Development Delay on first call to web service

  As a learning experience, I've written a Windows Forms app which accesses the xmethods StockQuote web service: http://services.xmethods.net/soap/urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes.wsdl (I'm using .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.)  The (synchronous) calls to the getQuote method of the service take place in the DoWork handler of a BackgroundWorker.  It takes 10 seconds or more for the first call to getQuote to complete; all subsequent calls complete much more quickly. The delay is not affected by the presence or absence of the MyApp.XmlSerializers.dll generated by the compiler.  I know from accessing the same web servic ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Disable phone call during runtime

  Hi Guys, Just wondering whether it is possible in .NET Compact Framework to disable phone call feature when users start the application. I looked at the Phone API documentation and did not find it helpful. I am using Compact Framework 2.0 on Windows Mobile 5.0. Thanks, Andie There is no mechanism shiped with .NETCF to do this. Someone on one of the WindowsMobile newsgroups may be able to give you information on a native method that will help you out. You can then P/Invoke to it from .NETCF.

• SQL Server error message says WkUFind cannot open because MSVCR70.dll is not found

  how do I load this file This seems to be a more universal problem, I've tried to run other programs which work on previous versions of windows, only to get this error also. Two confirmed programs are DrJava (a standalone java compiler) and UnrealIRCd (an irc server). With DrJava, the problem was solved just by searching for MSVCR70.dll and putting it in the same directory as the .exe, but that prolly won't work for other apps. Hope this gets figured out. -- John ...Show All

• .NET Development Making databases in code

  does anyone know how to make a database completely out of code Visual Basic has a COM object named ADOX.Catalog which could do this. what im looking for is a .NET namespace to implement this into my C# application. Hi, It really depends on what DBMS that you're using. If your using a SQLServer then you could create a connection to the master database then execute a CREATE DATABASE t-sql command. After the database creation just reconnect to your new dbase then execute CREATE TABLE to create tables... Just look-up on the books online of sql server to have a guide on how to use t-sql...     cheers, Paul June A. Domag ...Show All

• .NET Development variable in SQL, is what in Microsoft Access?

  I've used nothing but SQL Server 2000, and to use variable in a stored procedure you use @variable to declare them. I'm having Access thrown at me unwillingly...so I need to know what the equivelant is in Access. So let's say the sql sp is the following, how would it look in Access : @var1 smallint, @var2 char(5) AS Select * From SomeOddTable Where col1 = @var1 and col2 = @var2 I had posted this, but it somehow got deleted by someone, and I received no email as to why. As far as I can tell this is a legimate question for this forum, and if a moderator were to move it/delete it, please email me why/where. ...Show All

• Visual C# Signing an assembly with a key container

  The AssemblyKeyName attribute I've been using to sign my assemblies with a key from a container is now deprecated in VS 2005 (I'm using the Standard released version). I get this warning message: AssemblyInfo.cs(59,12): warning CS1699: Use command line option '/keycontainer' or appropriate project settings instead of 'AssemblyKeyName' But as far as I can tell, there's no way to specify a key container in the project settings, only a key file. I also can't find a way to specify command line options to the compiler. I can do both for managed C++ projects, but not for C#. The only workarounds I've found are (1) use a key file instead of a key c ...Show All

• Windows Forms catch mouse events in a CONTAINER

  Hi! Does anyone know how to handle mouse events in a container, i.e., no matter what control inside this container is clicked. I mean, it makes no sense to create like 20 eventhandlers when all the events in this container should generate the same result. Thanks. /Magnus Hi, Please see the below link.
