18303 of 19643 | W3C XML Schema and XInclude: impossible to use together - On a project I`m working on for MS Patterns & Practices, we were excited about the XInclude spec becoming a recomendation and anxious about using it in our project, which is quite heavy on XML usage for configuration. The modularization that could be introduced transparently by XInclude was very compelling. Even if it will hardly be implemented in .NET v2, we could still take advantage of the Mvp.Xml project XInclude.NET implementation Oleg did. But apparently it`s almost impossible to use XInclude and XSD validation together :( The problem stems from the fact that XInclude (as per the spec) adds the xml:base attribute to included elements to signal their origin, and the same can potential......

One of the things that you find if you watch the tech industry for long enough is the fact that computer technology is as subject to fads as any other area of human endeavor.

At last, the WSE Configuration Editor, the one that comes up when you right-click in the Solution Explorer and then select WSE 2.0 Settings allows you to enable and disable WSE for C++ project and lets you create policies.Before SP2, nothing would happen when you clicked on the item in the context menu. Unfortunately, other IDE integration, such as automatic generation of WSE proxies in a WSE enabled project is still not happening and probably will never happen in WSE 2 because wsewsdl2.exe does not support generation of C++ code. If you take a look with Reflector, you`ll......

18335 of 19643 | Is anyone really buying this - A data layer is all about abstracting the explicit boundary between the application/ domain model and the persistence datasource.    Although this boundary can never be totally transparent, the data layer does its best to expose the persistence data in a way which can be easily and suitably utilized by domain model.  A simple example is accessing a file through a reader interface which abstracts the user from the underlying details of reading a file from disk.  A more complex example is accessing relational databases which abstracts the user from the underlying storage mechanism and enforces a number of domain specific rules in an effort to keep shared data consistent.   This requirement......

18340 of 19643 | WSDL.EXE problem with BEA WSDL - As it turns out, using the 1.x builds of the .NET Framework, wsdl.exe (and VS.NET) are sometimes unable to process perfectly good WSDL documents generated from the latest versions of BEA WebLogic Workshop. If the WSDL contains multiple schemas, and any have the same targetNamespace as another, you`ll get something like, "a schema with the namespace `urn:foo-bar" has already been added." There are not currently plans to fix this behavior in the 1.x versions of the framework. The product group is, however, planning to fix it in 2.0 (although it`s not yet in beta 1 yet). Since I know at least 2 large Microsoft customers have hit this problem, I thought someone else might find this XS......
