It seems that this is a Framework "by design" annoyance: several entities get translated automatically before they go into a web control property, and there is nothing at all you can do about it. The solution is to go through and use “ and ” in place of the simple entities when I want to assign them to a web control property. And because & gets translated to a simple amperstand, I have to use && to generate the amperstand entity, which is necessary if I want my pages to validate (a "naked" amperstand is not valid XHTML.)

I got screwed on this when I bought VS 2008 Standard, and cannot make the same mistake twice. Nor am I interested in spending $11,000+ for the "Ultimate" edition.

You can write services with any version of visual studio.
All that is missing from the Standard & Express versions is the service project template. Everything above standard has the template.
Without the template, all you need to do is:
1) Add a reference to System.ServiceProcess.dll
2) Create a class that inherits from from ServiceBase
3) Override ServiceBase.OnStart and put your startup code here. Usually you will spin up a thread to do the work.
4) Create your service object in your main method and call ServiceBase.Run(theServiceObject)
Once you have built your .exe, you use installutil.exe[^] to install your service.
You can even do this from Visual Studio express editions (including 2005/2008).
Introduction to Windows Service Applications[^] is a good source of information. Just remember that you can still do it all, even without the template, you just need to create the code manually.

Good answer Simon.
I was going to answer the same earlier but never having created a service application, I was not sure of the steps required. +5

I have tried writing services in VS 2008 standard. I can get them compiled and (allegedly) installed, but they've never shown up in the Services panel. As a result, all of our in-house service code is still written using 2005.
Anyway, since we are looking to get 2010 anyway, I figured I would get the least expensive version with the service template. Since this is information that Microsoft does not bother to share in the product descriptions, I wanted to ask my peers.

If you're specifically after the template, it's in Professional and above.

It sounds like they didn't get installed. Did they run?
As far as I'm concerned, the template is very limited and only useful as a starting point for your first Service. After that, you should have your own classes that you use as a basis for more Services. Bear in mind that Windows Services is a very broad topic with many correct techniques for implementation -- the template can't cover them all, so it covers none.
Once you have your own preferred implementation technique (using a Timer, a Thread/sleep, etc.) you should write base classes that encapsulate it and never go back to the template.

Nope; I could not get them to show up in the Services list. By "installed," I mean that I right clicked on the installation project in the solution and selected "Install" from the menu. This not working might be a function of having Standard rather than Professional VS 2008, I don't know.

Yeah, what he said.
In fact you don't need Visual Studio at all; you can use <your preferred text editor> and the command-line compiler. Because Windows Services have no GUI there's nothing visual to design so VS is overkill.
P.S. Last spring I used VS 2010 Express to develop a little app that involved a WCF Web Service hosted inside a Windows Service.

hi All,
i am stuck with a problem with custom forms.
i m new to exchange server and may sound naive at times.
the problem is that i have modified the UIextension.xml file to add a Navigation bar item named as "MY Application" and on its click i want my custom form to be opened.
for this i have made a folder for my testform in the forms folder.
the testform will do nothing initially except printing some hello world stuff.
i have added a registry.xml file in that folder as well.
the registry and UIExtension entries are as follows
UIExtension File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<OWAUICustomizations>
<SmallIconMappings>
<!--You can register your own icons for custom message classes here-->
<!--Default IconFlag="Default"-->
<!--Default PrefixMatch="false"-->
<!--Attributes should be in the order of: ItemClass, SmallIcon, IconFlag, PrefixMatch-->
<!-- Sample entry:
<Mapping ItemClass="IPM.CustomClass" SmallIcon="CustomClass.gif" IconFlag="CustomClassRead"/>
-->
</SmallIconMappings>
<MainNavigationBarExtensions>
<!--You can register your own entries to appear in Outlook Web Access navigation bar here-->
<!-- Sample entry -->
<MainNavigationBarEntry LargeIcon="LargeIcon.gif" SmallIcon="SmallIcon.gif" URL="https://myserver/owa/forms/Testform/Default.aspx">
<string language="en-us" text="My Application"/>
</MainNavigationBarEntry>
</MainNavigationBarExtensions>
<NewItemMenuEntries>
<!--You can register your own entries to appear in Outlook Web Access New item menu here-->

</RightClickMenuEntry>
-->
</RightClickMenuExtensions>
</OWAUICustomizations>

Are you sure this relates to the .NET framework? It looks more like ASP.NET[^] to me.

Dear sir,
I have created controls dynamically and the controls are inside the table and the table inside the div.Im getting error in mozilla browser..
The sample html generated code is shown below
<div id=divall runat="server">
| sdfssdf | <select id=dd1>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
</select>
| | sdfssdf | <select id=dd1>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
</select>
| | sdfssdf | <select id=dd1>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
<option value="1">sdfsd</option>
</select>
|
I access the value as below
var divall = document.getElementById('divall');
//for getting all the controls inside the div
var allcntr = divall.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes;
for(var i=0;i<allcntr.length;i++)>
{
//for getting all the dropdownlist's value inside the table
var cmball=divall.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[i].getElementsByTagName('OPTION');
for(var j=0;j<cmball.length;j++)>
{
if(cmball[j].selected)
{
//some code
}
}
}
//
divall.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes;
The above code is working 5n in IE but not in mozilla.
Is there any common code(compatible to all browsers mainly IE & Mozilla) to access the childnodes?
Thanx for your help in advance..

And this has what to do with the .NET Framework??
Ask this in the Web Developement forum.

Well i had read in the w3schools.com that there is a small issue in accessing the childnodes.
balaji.t wrote: divall.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes;
This works fine in IE but not in Firefox.
The reason which i am not completely sure is that IE accesses with '0' index and '1' in Firefox.
So just try by using 1 instead of 0 for accessing.

Hi,
I am struggling to find any information on what I would have thought would have been a very easy thing to do. Does anyone know how to get hold of the values below, which are listed in the AssemblyInfo.cs file?
[assembly: AssemblyVersion( "0.0.0.0" )]
[assembly: AssemblyFileVersion( "0.0.0.0" )]
[assembly: AssemblyInformationalVersion( "0.0.0" )]
Any help or pointers to useful info would be very much appreciated.
Best wishes, Patrick

This[^] might help.
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Hi guys i try to write a simpale server client appliaction. server transmit the file content to client and recieve an acknowledgment which is a "ok" string. i have some problem in my code.
using (NetworkStrem ns = new NetworkStream(client))
{
using (BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(File.OpenRead(filepath)))
{
while (sent < file.Length)
{
data = new byte[20];
br.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
tempData = data;
ns.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
ns.Flush();
ns.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
ack = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data);
while (ack != "ok")
{
ns.Write(tempData, 0, tempData.Length);
ns.Flush();
ns.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
ack = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(data);
}
sent += 20;
ack = string.Empty;
}
}
what'wrong here i dont know if u know tell me
Thanks in advance

What are the problems? Are you getting an error - if so edit your question and post the error.

I don't understand your message, however I can tell you a Read method returns an integer, i.e. the number of bytes read. Not using that information is a mistake, as there may be less than data.Length, in which case you are processing too much data later on (as in your write).

If you are using TCP/IP you do not need to send acknowledgments. TCP/IP is a guaranteed, in-order protocol and .NET will throw an exception if it fails. If you want to keep the connection active set the keep alive flag.
Oh, and, if you are using UDP sending an ack is self defeating.
