Well...Having used the WSSF ( which at this point hasn't been updated in 22 months, really, if you go by stable releases ), I can say that I have to agree with Anders. Honestly, I can across this article out of SHEER LUCK, but I can't find any fault in his reasoning, and the points he's bringing out are still just as relevant, still just as timely as when he first made them.

Yes, the WSSF Modeling Edition is MORE declarative. But you still have to do so much gluing of things together. For instance. If you generat your business entities using the Repository Factory ( also available on CodePlex ), you can't drag them into the designer surface as say "here's the class I want the DataContract modeled after. Interoperability like THAT is what some of the stuff from the P&P group from MS needs to work out.

This solved the problem for me when Serif Photoplus X2 wouldn't install on Windows 7.

Really appreciated

Thanks

Same problem here. Have a ASP.NET 2.0 project in source safe. I don't recall installing the VS 2005 SDK, but I started getting this file added to the project at some point. Even though I've deleted it a hundred times, it just seems to get readded when you load the project again.

What I think actually happens is VS2005 adds the file to the directory when you *close* VS. When you load the project again it's already there and VS starts the service indicated in the vwd.webinfo file. While the service is running, even if you delete the file, it will re-add it when you close VS again. (Because Microsoft knows best, right?)

What worked for me is close VS2005 then use Explorer to browse to your project location and delete the file. Never saw it again.

I also deleted the registry key that it was referring to. Not sure if that helped or not, but everything still works. :)

This file just be created by VS when you close VS, so you must close VS first and then use Explorer to browse to your project location and delete the file.

N.B. if you do this there are more c: in the file but only change c:\spiceopus

You may take a look at the latest WSSF V3 Modeling Edition with full DSL support. I think that many of the caveats mentioned above will be no more valid.

Awesome, I had already used the workaround which involved creating a new admin account and installing software from there. Obviously the new admin account does not have a a mapped documents drive.

This fix solved hours of frustration trying to install the windows installer cleanup tool which I was trying to use to fix another install problem.

Kudos

re: Documenting Web Services

Ever come up with a way to document web services from WSDL to HTML using Sandcastle or similar automated means? A WSDL to UML diagram tool would be nice as well.

My experience with the Web Service factory (or more accurately responses from people TO the factory) is as follows:

1. Enterprise Architects relate (falsely) the Wizard/Recipe nature of the factory to magically producing a useful Service - in reality the devil is in the details.

2. Developers consider it 'to complicated' and opt for a more simple approach without all the different layers and additional Request/Response classes.

3. Developers consider it 'to time consuming' and opt for a faster approach whereby a 'working' service can be built more readily.

The complication/productivity issue is analogous to justifications for not performing unit testing - the perception of productivity in the short term is considered more important than long term loss of productivity. I recall a project I worked on whereby when I inquired why unit tests were not being written, the response was "We don't have time for that". Sometime later the project was repeatedly delayed predominately due to the number and severity of bugs and design issues as a result of the "we don't have enough time for that" ethos.

I don't agree with the aforementioned justifications - it is simply what I have experienced in the 'real world'.
