The problem is probably that your network connection isn't ready when you want to connect to your wcf service. Try using a short delay, or try to see if your network connection is set up before you try to connect to your WCF service

I am afraid I cannot help you any more than this. But you said you work in a big team, so probably there will be somebody who can help you.
Good luck. And if you find the answer, let me know.

So you haven't written the service yourself? You are just referencing it?

I have also found a similar problem at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4621523/when-adding-wcf-service-reference-configuration-details-are-not-added-to-web-con

"I discovered how to work around this. My WCF service was implemented in its own project, and hosted in by a separate console application in the same solution. If I run the WCF service as the solution's startup project (eg. let VS host it for me) then adding the reference works fine and the correct lines are added to the client web.config. But if I host service from within my console application, while I can still add the reference, the client's web.config does not get modified. So, a workaround is to first let VS host the service, then add the reference, then change the service to be hosted (at the same address and port) in the console application.

This is surprising behaviour, and I am curious if anyone can shed any light on it?"

Ah, I'm afraid I can't help you with the ASP.NET part. I haven't worked with WCF in ASP.NET. But i suppose it should work in the same way. But apparently it doesn't. I think it is a specific ASP.NET problem. Maybe you are using specific types in the service contract that aren't supported by ASP.NET.

I don't understand what you mean. Can you explain a little bit more?

Can you post your service interface class here with the servicecontract?

strange :)

And you didn't change something at the service contract recently?
If I understand correct: if you update the service reference at another client project, there is no problem?

I think so to, maybe the answer is given by the professor during one of his lessons.

I don't understand the setup of your program. Please provide some more code or more explanation

:) a five is five, thanks!

thanks for your 5 :p

see my updated solution

do you really need a guid or just an index which automatically increments?

wouldn't that be a serious security leak?

.net 2005??

then learn it. google it, read some articles, search here on cp, ... We can't help you if you don't want to make an effort.

that's true. If memory is an issue, you can always check if the mdi child != null and if so, create a new instance of the mdi child. That way, you don't have to catch the close event.

my vote for 1: the time of doing homework has passed for me

is the audio you want to play in the .WAV format, because the internet is full with examples to play a WAV file from the resources

I don't see any problem in using a backgroundworker to play the sound

I just copy-pasted your code and ran it with my own credentials and it worked like a charm. When I entered a wrong username/password i got the following error:
"The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required."

Maybe you have exceeded the number of wrong login attempts. Can you still login at your GMail account using a webbrowser?

Does Gmail allow you to use their SMTP server by third party applications?

I don't get it. You aren't working with a dateTimePicker, but with a DatePickerDialog?

what do you mean by read only?

Maybe you can add a little more comment to your question:
What language do you want to use to write your site: ASP? PHP?, ..

You definitely need a database containing all the movies, titles, overviews, links to trailers,...

Your question is just to vague to answer

Don't think I haven't googled it already. Like i said, I've read a lot about the technique and the implementation. I just want to know if someone else on the CP has experience in this matter

That is exactly what I'm afraid off. I rather don't produce a long hard coded list with special chars with their equivalent char.

Reason for my vote of 1
does not work

but this isn't equal for each char. ù = 151 and û = 150 and i want to convert both these chars to u = 117. In the first case, i have to substract 24 and in the second case only 23. And that is the whole clue of my question.

That does not work. the result still contains the complex chars instead of the low ascii chars.

I think you don't understand the situation here. I want to check if the file exists en throw an exception before the constructor of the class is called.

This won't work because the constructor of MyClass will throw an exception when filename does not exist.

But has the disadvantage that you need to call the Static Method and "new MyClass(filename)" does not work anymore?
