I received this error while adding a reference to a WCF service in a windows form application with multiple projects.

Error: Could not find default endpoint element that references contract '*' in the ServiceModel Client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.

After hours of troubleshooting, I should have read the message more closely. This is basically saying the application cannot contact this service.  It gives 2 possible reasons why. One is that you did not include a configuration file which would be the app.config.  By default this created by the windows project templates. So it was there. The second reason is that there is not endpoint element in this XML file (app.config).

That was my problem. When you add a reference to a project using VS it will modify the app.config file and place this element in it automatically. As it turns out, when you have multiple projects in a solution and you add a reference to a project, VS will modify the app.config file of the project you are working in.  This may not be where the element needs to be placed if your solution has a different MAIN project or different startup project.  You will have to manually add this element to the app.config file that is the MAIN file for the solution.

Copy the following elements to the MAIN app.config file for your solution and you will be back on track.

Good Luck

I ran into this when defining a web server class inquery and response.

 public partial class WebLogger : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
            LogToService srvs = new LogToService();
            LogTo inq = new SoapPW_LogTo.LogTo();

            Service_header header = new Service_header();
                                
            header.sessiontoken = stoken;
 }

The class usage must occur with a VIOD.  So change the code to this:

 public partial class WebLogger : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
            LogToService srvs = new LogToService();
            LogTo inq = new SoapPW_LogTo.LogTo();

            aires_header header = new aires_header();
                                
        protected void SetService()
        {

              header.sessiontoken = stoken;

        }
 }

That will do it.

I experienced this when upgrading the project references from 3.5 to framework 4.0

change:

This is for a MS SQL 2008 stored procedure.

The best way to avoid cursors with great performance is to use a WHILE LOOP.

This example is to simply iterate through a table. Start by selecting your collection and inserting it into a temporary table with an indexing row. Set a counter, a while loop and containers for your business logic.

CREATE TABLE #tmpTBL1(

    RowID int IDENTITY(1, 1),

    COL1 CHAR(1)

)

 

--ADD DATA

INSERT INTO #tmpTBL1 (COL1)

(SELECT SOMECOL FROM SOMETABLE)

 

-- define your containers

DECLARE @CHECKTHIS CHAR(1)

DECLARE @ROWCOUNT INT

DECLARE @COUNTER INT

 

-- SET THIS WHEN CHECKTHIS = Y FOR THE FIRST TIME, CLEAR AFTER CHECKTHIS = N

DECLARE @YN BIT

 

 SET @COUNTER = 1;

 SET @CHECKTHIS = '';

 SET @YN = 0;

 

    SELECT @ROWCOUNT = COUNT(*) FROM # tmpTBL1

   

    SELECT @CHECKTHIS = COL1 FROM # tmpTBL1 WHERE RowID = @COUNTER

   

    WHILE @COUNTER <= @ROWCOUNT

        BEGIN              

 

                     IF @CHECKTHIS = 'Y'

                           BEGIN

                                  SET @YN = 1

                           END

 

                     ELSE -- CHECKTHIS = N

                           BEGIN

                                  SET @YN = 0

                           END

 

            SET @COUNTER = @COUNTER + 1;

 

            SELECT @CHECKTHIS = COL1 FROM # tmpTBL1 WHERE RowID = @COUNTER

 

 

 

       END -- END THE WHILE LOOP

 

Good luck

 

[rsAggregateOfInvalidExpressionDataType] The Value expression for the textrun ‘*’ uses an aggregate function with an expression that returned a data type not valid for the aggregate function.

I recieved this error in SSRS 2008 R2.

Check your Syntax:

I had:

 =IIF(Count(Fields!column1,"DataSet1")=0,"No Data Found", "")

 

It should have been:

=IIF(Count(Fields!column1.Value,"DataSet1")=0,"No Data Found", "")

 

I set this as an expression in a textbox to show a No Data Found Message in a SSRS report.

 

Cheers!

 

Could not load file or assembly '*' or one of its dependencies. This assembly is built by a runtime newer than the currently loaded runtime and cannot be loaded.

I got this when running a ASP.NET web application on Win Server 2008 64 bit.

To fix this error:

Check the application pool for the site.  Make sure it can run 32 bit applications. Set the value to true. 

Stop the IIS. Delete all the temporary ASP.NET files. They are usually located here:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files

 Start IIS.

 

Check the Visual Studio Properties of the project.  Make sure the application is building a 32 bit assembly. Also check the target framework.  Do NOT set it to 4.0. Make sure it is between 2.0 and 3.5.

Build the VS proj.  Publish it to the Server.

 

If this does not work.  Call microsoft.

Make sure the type in the stored procedure is DateTime or in the sql select. You may cast a string with:

cast(COLUMN, as DateTime)

 

Once the select retruns Type DateTime, then select the textbox properties > number > Date > date format

 

Otherwise you can try this on the textbox:

=Format(CDate(Fields!A.Value), "MMMM yyyy")

 

good luck

 

Server Error in '/' Application. Could not load file or assembly 'pdflib_dotnet' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

 

I got this error when deploying a 32 bit web application to a windows server 2008 R2 64, IIS7.0.

 

The application pool is not set to run 32 bit applications. Open IIS manager, select the application pool for the site and modify the advanced settings.  Change the "Enable 32 bit Applications" property to TRUE.

open a cmd

type > iisreset

The site should restart. Retest your application and this should work.

Say you have a SSRS report located here:

http://servername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fXXXX%2freportname

 

And you need to pass parameters to it from another application/webpage. The trick is to send it to a different snytax or location and SSRS will do the work.

 

Send to Here:

http://servername/ReportServer/?%2fXXXX%2freportname&rs:Command=Render&rc:Parameters=false&parameter=W&UserIdDomain=SLove&Domain=socalmp

 

This applies to SSRS 2008 R2.

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

 

For some Reason I needed to add this to my connection string in the web.config file.

<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
        <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=servername Database=dbname; User ID=user; Password=something; Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
               

so the whole entry looks like this:

<connectionStrings>
        <add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Server=servername; Database=dbname; User ID=user; Password=password123; Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
 <remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
        <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=servername Database=dbname; User ID=user; Password=something; Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
               
    </connectionStrings>

1). All you have to do is to add the 

.manifest = application/manifest 

and

.deploy=application/octet-stream 

in the IIS root directory's -> Properties -> HTTP Headers -> MIME Types.

RightClick the Default Web Site of your IIS , then Select Properties, then go the HTTP Header tab. Near the bottom of the tab there is a command button called MIME Types 

Click the MIME Types button. A New dialog pops. This dialog show you the MIME Types that are registered with your server. Click the New button 

on this dialog.  Another dialog pops that has two text boxes.

That asks you the Extension and MIME Type
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Like:        Extension
               MIME Type

---------------------------------------------------------------------

First  add the Extension to .manifest and add MIME Type to 

application/manifest 
Then add the Extension to .deploy   and  add MIME Type to 

application/octet-stream

This is an syntax error in SQL when the 'if' statement is not correctly formatted.

In SQL an 'if' statement in a stored procedure can look like this:

 

IF  'condition'

BEGIN

'statement'

END

 

When the conditional statement is not formattted correctly you'll get the error for example I had:

IF  @variable = 'ALL' OR ' '

BEGIN

set @variable = NULL

END

 

I am checking the value of the incoming parameter and changing it to NULL. I do this to avoid dynamic SQL in my where clause.  But this is another topic.

SO

Change the if statement to this and avoid my mistake:

IF  @variable = 'ALL' OR @variable = ' '

BEGIN

set @variable = NULL

END

I ran into this error when I was creating some validation logic with an 'if' statement.  It went something like this:

if (txtfield1.Text = "" || (txtfield2.Text = "" || txtfield3.Text = ""))

{

// display error message

}

You need to use double equal signs in this case.

it should be:

if (txtfield1.Text == "" || (txtfield2.Text == "" || txtfield3.Text == ""))

{

// display error message

}

Culture 'en' is a neutral culture. It cannot be used in formatting and parsing and therefore cannot be set as the thread's current culture.

 

I ran into this problem when I was using  a method to check for a numeric string.  I'll post this method in another blog.
