• Visual C++ About DLL entry points

  Hi! I recently had to write a simple C++ DLL (I had only been familiar with normal Windows applications and .NET DLLs). There is something, which caught my interest: Is every DLL required to have an entry point, like DllMain or are there some exceptions You are correct: DllMain exists primarily to initialize any global data in the DLL - if there is no global data in the DLL and you do not need to perform any other operations on DLL load or DLL unload then you can do without a DllMain function. ...Show All

• .NET Development Expecting Preamble error

  Hi, I have a web service that talks to a process using remoting. At first I used http and it worked fine. I then changed the configuration files to use TCP, but I got a this error message: Tcp channel protocol violation: expecting preamble I made sure that all the URLs start by tcp://. I cant find what's causing this problem. Does it have something to do with using the Web.config file to set the remoting client configuration settings Thanks for the help. Mustapha, since you mentioned a Web.config I assume you're using IIS. IIS can only host HTTP remoting objects, and will be unable to connect to ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Unable to connect to remote server when calling web service

  Can anyone provide any insights into this problem: I'm calling a simple web service from my pocket pc application remotely and the error coming back is "Unable to connect to the remote server." The web service just returns a simple "hello" string. It's configured to allow anonymous authentication. I verified that I can browse to other websites like espn.com or cnn.com so I do have internet connection. I can even browse to my web service .asmx file in I.E. and see the method names of my web service. However, when I connect my pocket pc to my computer that is connected to my work network, the web service call is succ ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Customize Team Builds wizard

  Hi, There’s a way to customize Team Builds wizard I know there’s a way to customize the default build type, also, I can override some targets from the TFSBuild.proj file.

• SQL Server SQL Configuration holding connections to DS

  Hello All, I have about 160 packages in my system, all using about 20 shared datasources. When changing one of the datasource's connection (changing the server name), I need to open every one of my packages and press OK to allow the remapping to the new server. (this is something I don't understand: wasn't this the meaning of using a share datasource in the first place what's the advantages in that case ) So, I have heard about Package configuration, and how it supposed to support all of this, But I don't understand something: The configuration is set to a certain package. If I have 2 packages, using the same two (of four) Datasources ...Show All
