The WCF service could not understand any messages sent by SOAP-UI. I guessed that there is some redundant attribute or property which WCF requires in a SOAP message but SOAP-UI does not include. I didn't go any further with it.

Sorted... thanks Dave

I don't SOAP UI is compatible with WCF. In my experience it does not send a strong enough SOAP message, although I could be wrong

Hi, I have a problem with rotating a WPF UIElement and placing it within a small space. Consider the following problem:

<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="30" Height="100">
<Button Content="This is my button"
HorizontalAlignment="Center"
VerticalAlignment="Center"
Width="100"
Height="30"
RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
<Button.RenderTransform>
<RotateTransform Angle="90" />
</Button.RenderTransform>
</Button>

WPF seems to draw the grid, draw the button (with the sides cut off) and then rotate the button (without sides). Has anyone encountered this problem before? Shane

Don't just dive in, some of WPF is very different from previous technologies. I would suggest this excellent range of tutorials (which includes events) WPF: A Beginner's Guide - Part 1 of n[^] shane

Sorted it :). Rather than install the .Net 4.0 framework client recommended by the .msi installer I installed the full .NET 4 framework which included the required ASP.NET registry key. Shane

Hi, I am having problems with a web setup file installing a .NET 4.0 WCF application to IIS 6. I am getting the message: "could not open key Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET\4.0.30319.0" before the installation cancels. On further investigation I have found that the registry key "4.0.30319.0" doesn't exist. Should this have been created with the .NET 4.0 upgrade? Has anyone come across this problem before? thanks in advance Shane

Thanks guys, however the problem goes a bit deeper than my string example (and btw, I didn't realise a string was sealed so I suppose that turned my oversimplification on its head) What I need is an interface to use within a function (like in the list above) A wrapper class would work fine (and at the moment I am using a wrapper interface) but inheriting from a class to an interface would be a LOT cleaner.

Similar to StarBP: use 2 rolling buffers which are the size of the search terms. initialize by loading data into buffer 1 repeat the following steps: clear buffer 2 dump buffer 1 into buffer 2 load fresh data into buffer 1 combine the buffers search the combination If the buffers are the correct size your search terms will always be in one combination. The overhead is that you will be searching each buffer twice though. hope it helps Shane

Hi, I have a basic enough problem with implementing inheritance in an interface. Here is an example of what I would LIKE to do:

    static void Main(string\[\] args)
    {
        List<ISuperString> myStrings = new List<ISuperString>();
        myStrings.Add(...SOMETHING...);

        Console.WriteLine(myStrings\[0\].containsCapitalLetters());
        Console.WriteLine(myStrings\[0\].ToLower());
    }

    public interface ISuperString : string
    {
        bool containsCapitalLetters();
    }

I have seen (and implemented) some workarounds for this, however they are a bit messy for my taste. Basically, is it possible to either have an interface inherit from a class or to derive an interface from a class (i.e. an IString interface)? thanks
