I can't think of a reason why either approach could be conceived as "wrong", but I'd hazard a guess that working through the records in a batch would be quicker than working on them individually, especially where the webservice is involved.

You should be able to do that with a macro. Have a look at EnvDTE::_DTE and its underlings, as well as VSLangProj (C#/VB) and VCProjectEngineLibrary (C++).

Well, the solution was the reference to the web service itself. The reference was the internal web service (a.k.a. inside of our firewall) and it was being used by people on the outside of the firewall. Once we created a proxy service and pointed it it, everything worked fine. I guess next time, when I inherit code, I probably should deep dive a bit more to figure out how the original designers were makingthings work.. THanks everybody for the help.

Don't look at me, I'm not a webdev. :-\ Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got.

Yup WRX. Not the STI, it wasn't out yet at the time or I might have gone that route, but the STI really isn't a suitable daily driver kind of car, way too over the top for that.

Judging by the replies there aren't even rumours going around... :suss:

Thanks! That's the kind of opinions I was looking for... This are my own opinions. You know the rest.....

Nick, Hopefully this link will provide you with the algorithm you ask for. http://www.columbia.edu/~js1353/pubs/ss-soda99.pdf[^]

Yes, I attended the DevCon launch event in Las Vegas. Registration cost was about $1300 (USD), but it was well worth it. Several MS people were present along with many other notables... Bjarne Stroustrup, Charles, Petzold, etc. Excellent sessions. They actually had four paths going at once: Visual Studio Connections, SqlServer Connections, C++ Connections, and ASP.Net Connections. Attendees were allowed to attend any of the sessions, no matter which Connections they registered for. My guess is about 2500 attended, and the give-aways were great - a Harley Davidson motorcycle, three IPOD Nano's, three passes for the next DevConnections, two XBOX-360's and much more. Great week, and lots of nice people to chat with. Karl - WK5M PP-ASEL-IA (N43CS) PGP Key: 0xDB02E193 PGP Key Fingerprint: 8F06 5A2E 2735 892B 821C 871A 0411 94EA DB02 E193

Out of all of the topics posted in reply.... It would seem that there really isn't a good clear definition of what would go in the lounge, and what doesn't. That seems to be the main definition problem. What I consider to be a general, or even a lounge question, might not be a general question to another. What I believe about something being appropriate for the "Lounge" offends other people, and vice versa. I'm sure I'm not the only one that relaxes by reading, etc. more computer stuff. (remember, my original post stated, that yes, the more technical sort of programming questions should be addressed to that particular forum, but what about general issues.) It all makes me wonder just what would happen if there was a "General Technical" questions area versus the Lounge in the sense of what is displayed on the main page. (Key word here, main page). I mean, what would happen if the Lounge wasn't on the main page at all and you HAD to select a specific forum before doing any reading or posting. It does make for an interesting question. Maybe that is something we could have incorporated at somepoint into codeproject down the road. Those of you who are looking for a place to relax could go to the "Lounge". Somebody like me, who relaxes by still reading, researching, experimenting with techincal stuff might visit a "General Purpose" technical area, etc. Nick This are my own opinions.

You brought back some good memories, actually we were offered the old PRIME free of charge a few years back. We used to run RS232 cables betwen various buildings I think the furthest was about 300/400 meters. I did my first major computer hack on the PRIME, rewriting the print spooler, a hack that PRIME used afterwards "My favorite thing about the Internet is that you get to go into the private world of real creeps without having to smell them." - Penn Jillette

It is not a spyware. it is some sort of name list management software.from what i read on the chinese website. don't think it will related to your problem.:)

Nick Jacobs wrote: One should always do a little bit of background research before asking the "Experts". Sure I agree, research is good as long as it's from a valid source. Sorry, nothing intended personally :) , I just have a "thing" about the "do you guys know anything about..." posts here when there is a whole internet full of information from experts in the field. When you get knowledge from less than reliable places, then ask qualified engineers things like "some guy on the internet said I should do this, what do you think...?" it doesn't help your cause any. Asking programmers about fiber cabling makes about as much sense as posting the same question on the dog fanciers newsgroup. ;) Sure you might happen to get an engineer or two as you did here, but as you can tell from at least one persons answers there is a *hell* of a lot to consider, it's not like pulling a copper cable through a hole in the wall and even that is much more complex (10BaseT) and error prone than most people think. The time honored traditional way that really works to get this information fast, cheaply and reliably is to ask several reputable firms in your area to quote on the job and provide detailed analysis. Then you take all that info in, ask a lot of questions *after* reading it of each of the firms. In a case like this they would probably come up with some things you couldn't determine any other way because they will physically examine the situation onsite. For some it's finger nails on a chalkboard, for me it's certain posts here on C.P. nothing personal. :-D SPCA--we're here to inquire about the health of Dr. Schroedinger's cat

Actually, I can log into both router configuration screens at either end as well. Only problem I have is when I'm working with the internal IP addresses. I can ping from subnet a-internal to subnet-b internal. Kentamanos wrote: I'm a bit confused how you're using a Dial UP Modem thru a router. I've never done that before and I'm not sure how it's possible... Take a look at the D-Link DI-804HV. It's a routing VPN end point. It happens to have a regular RJ-45 connector for broadband, and it has an comm port for a modem. It doesn't care if it's a POTS line or an ISDN line. The idea is you can have it use any of it's interfaces to get to the outside world. This are my own opinions. You know the rest.....
