UPDATED TOPICS

Troubleshooting Application Diagrams

- Addresses how adding the configSource attribute to App.config or Web.config to specify the location of another config file and then moving the additional config file to another project location does not automatically update the configSource attribute.

- Addresses how renaming a WSDL file with an invalid extension does not delete connections to the Web service endpoint.

- Addresses the application diagram locking when getting the latest version of an SDM document from source control while the .ad file is open.

- Addresses the application diagram locking when that diagram or any other SDM file is modified outside of Application Designer.

- Addresses the application diagram locking when a Web service project with Web Services Enhancement (WSE) settings is reverse-engineered or opened in a solution with an application diagram without WSE installed.

- Addresses the application diagram locking when attempting to close the solution during a designer operation.

- Addresses the application diagram locking when the diagram or project is modified while code is running. Also warns against adding a new distributed system diagram while code is running because Visual Studio will stop responding.

How to: Reference Class Libraries from Applications on Application Diagrams

- Addresses Web service references that do not reverse-engineer correctly when a Windows and ASP.NET Web project both reference the same class library.

- Addresses Web service references in Visual Basic or Visual J# class libraries that do not reverse-engineer correctly when a consumer application references multiple class libraries and each library contains a Web reference to a different Web service.
