  I defined a class (MyWebService) that inherits System.Web.Services.WebService class. I would like to pass a username and password when initialize the web service so the user that try to access the web service can be authenticated against the database. However, when I try to use the web service in the client project, it seems I can only use the default non-parameters constructor. Is it impossible to to initialize a web service using the non-default constructor Cheers Like any classes, you can create your own construcors for the web service proxy class, for example, if you want pass the service ...Show All

• Visual Studio Installing VS2005 Professional

  I seem to remember hearing that VS2005 can coexist peacefully with VS2003 on the same computer. Is this true Also, I have SQL Server 2000 developer edition and I don't want it to be replaced with the stripped down version of SQL Server 2005 that comes with VS2005. Is there a custom installation of VS2005 that would allow me to skip the installation of SQL Server Thanks, Dave Yes VS2005 can coexist with VS2003 without any problems. VS2005 does come with SQL Server Express Edition which can also coexist with SQL Server 2000, however, there is a custom install that allows you to deselect it so that i ...Show All

• .NET Development Retrieve the value from two cells from a row in a dataGridView, C#2005Expr

  Anyone  who know how to retrieve the value from two cells when you click a row in a dataGridView so you can insert the values in two variables Observe! It doesn't seem to work in the way it did in earlier versions of VS.NET - I've tried but it didn't work (but from earlier experiences I know that's not a garanti tough). I know how to retrieve the value from the cell you click in, but since I have two key attributes in the table that's visualized in the dataGridView I also need to retrieve both values to be able to delete or update a row/tuple. Anyone who knows when Microsoft is going to hand out this kind of information Regards, //Nic ...Show All

• Visual Studio Formatting Group Footer

  I've got a master-detail report that is grouped by a person. The group header contains some person information, followed by a couple of sub-reports with some detail, and then finished up with a group footer with some more information about the person. I would like to format the footer so that the information falls to the bottom of the page. The problem is the detail portion for a person varies, so the report has to be smart enough to expand and contract the footer enough so that final detail always shows up in the same location on the page. I've been trying various things but nothing seems to really work and I'm starting to think th ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Control Windows Media Player in Pocket PC and Smartphone

  Hi, I build a windows app in which I can play, stop, pause ...  videos by controlling Windows Media Player. In VS 2005, I just add the wmp ocx in the toolbar, then drag-drop wmp in my form and the interop is created (it's magic), so I can code wmp: axWindowsMediaPlayer1.URL="myUrl"; axWindowsMediaPlayer1.ctlControls.Play(); I want to know if it's possible to do the same with the pocket PC form or the Smartphone form. I know in .net cf 2.0 Interop services have been added to be able to control Pocket Media Player or pocket IE. Thanks in advance for helping me to control those apps in a Pocket PC or a Smartphone. ...Show All

Dim bTest as Boolean = True If Not bTest Then   Debug.WriteLine("bTest is false") End If And Guess what, the debug line is printed. If I do a breakpoint on the If line, and add a watch for bTest its TRUE, still it goes into the if statement. Rebuilding the solution dont help.
