re: Using stored procedures with ADO.NET entity framework

willemm — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 18:09:09 GMT

Hi,

This is a problem with ADO.NET entity framework 3.5, it's impossible to map a stored procedure to a resultset, unless you create a table that matches the structure of the resultset that is returned by the stored proc.

If you want full support for stored procedures I suggest you take a look at ADO.NET entity framework 4 that's available as part of .NET framework 4.

Can you throw more light on how to map a selection stored procedure to a custom entity? A code sample will help. The problem when I try to do this is that the designer insists on a mapping for the resultset, which is pointless, since it is a output only stored procedure.

DragDrop.DoDragDrop returns only after the complete drag-drop process is finished, thus avoiding the need of the _isDragging flag This could also be the reason for hiding MouseMove events during a drag-drop operation. In fact DragOver is just a special form of MouseMove

what's wrong with:

Task targetTask = (e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement).DataContext as Task;

I guess you can forget about the difficult GetItemAtLocation, or am I missing something?

If that opens HXS files, it would be great. But so far I haven't been able to open HxS files with it. One note though, Helpexplorer doesn't register the helpfiles, so yes indeed it keeps your visual studio help collection clean :)

If you just want to read the file, why not open it with Microsoft help Manualy C:\windows\winhlp32.exe ? It would keep your Visual studio a bit cleaner.

re: Wix Target for MSBuild

I did notice those on the WiX site, but I didn't know they used MsBuild tasks internally (A typical doh moment, as VS2005 uses Msbuild for almost every file or project that needs to be compiled or transformed)

However, these projects aren't complete, I can't move or copy files between a Wix project and other projects. Or my VS2005 installation must be broken again.

I agree with Wouter that WiX is indeed a good replacement for the standard setup projects. You can do a lot more with WiX than you can with the normal setup project. At least without having to create your own custom installers for pretty much every server product.

I created a setup project with WiX that configures user groups, creates an IIS website and configures a SQL 2005 database. I don't want to try that with the normal setup projects as it will probably end in some pretty unmaintainable codebase.

Those are cool projects for Visual Studio. Perhaps a great replacement for the not-so-cool setup projects that you have OOB.

Did you check out the Visual Studio 2005 project types for WiX? These project types are created by the same team that is building WiX. The project types also use MsBuild tasks to compile the WiX code.

Looks interesting, I'm going to keep that one in my favorites.

No improvements :) but there is already a MSBuild tasks library with Wix and more various tasks. http://www.codeplex.com/sdctasks

I'm glad .NET doesn't start throwing exceptions on that. It would make my life a lot harder ;P
