There will be multiple tickets and each child table will have either 0 or more items relating to the ticket table. There are no relationships established as part of the dataset (yet).

This is a subjective question and let me make it clear that I AM NOT asking for what the best language is. That being said, I want to do web development. I want to create sites around various topics, some for myself and some to sell and also do freelance down the road. I would also like to be able to create applications (RIAish and We...
Context: I am hosting a number of services using WCF. I'd like for each of them to support a Ping operation (heartbeat, keep-alive, whatever...). But, I'd rather not go implement IPingable on each one. Instead, I'd love to do something like the serviceMetadata behavior does and dynamically add a channel dispatcher. This would mean a...
I am working in a Microsoft .NET shop where it is okay to use NHibernate or ADO.NET EF. What guidance should we be using about when you should choose one over the other? For example, it seems like when writing a Silverlight app the EF -to-> ADO.NET Data Services -to-> Silverlight would offer a productivity boost, and provide you with a ...
I'm getting the infamous 0xC00000FD (stack overflow) exception from my application when I call into a native DLL. This is being done from a managed C# application on Windows CE 5 (SH4 processor).

What is the experience with LightSpeed? The comparison provided by Mindscape doesn't say too much about NHibernate. Lightspeed seems flexible, but I don't see much about performance. How well does Lightspeed perform? Also are there any drawbacks to using Lightspeed? ...

I am writing a LINQ provider to a hierarchal data source. I find it easiest to design my API by writing examples showing how I want to use it, and then coding to support those use cases. One thing I am having trouble with is an easy/reusable/elegant way to express "deep query" or recursion in a LINQ statement. In other words, what is th...
Duplicate: Working with incredibly large numbers in .net Does anyone know of a dot net class that will store LARGE integer values? and by LARGE values, I mean values that exceed the maximum size of the basic data types. I would hope that there would be a microsoft supplied class, but failing that I would be open to a 3rd party library...
I have a context menu attached to a panel, that should mirror commands available in a toolbar menu. Currently in my MouseUp event, I set the enabled state of the MenuItems, and add them to the context menu: ctxMnuLinks.Items.Clear() ctxMnuLinks.Items.Add(mnuLinksOpen) ctxMnuLinks.Items.Add(New ToolStripSeparator) ctxMnu...

TCPClient connection code that works OK in the app fails in the webservice with 'Host actively refused connection' Makes me think that IIS won't allow a Webservice ...

I was avoiding writing what may seem like another thread on .net arch/n-tier architecture, but bear with me. I, hopefully like others still am not 100% satisfied or clear on the best approach to take given today's trends and new emerging technologies when it comes to selecting an architecture to use for enterprise applications. I suppo...
I remember I could add modifiers to a watched variable during debugging to make its display in different formats in Delphi. Such as "str,m" would display string in its binary representation. Similarly I'd like to look at binary representation of a string to see character values for .NET applications on Visual Studio 2008. What's the eas...
