• Visual Basic Detect Internet Connection - VS 2005 BETA 2

  Hi, I am using VS 2005 - BETA 2. I'd like to use My.Computer.Network.IsAvailable to detect whether an internet connection is available. Is this the best "new" way of doing things or does the above method above detect network connectivity of some other type There seems to be a delay capturing the disconnect-connect events when I do use it, is there a way to shorten this delay In essence, what does this method wrap   Can I use it to properly detect an internet, not a network connection Regards, Giovanni P. rmctwox  AT ........   ve*riz-on dot net    (remove the star and hypen) ...Show All

• Visual C# Problem compiling linked files in VS2005 beta 2

  Hi All I just installed VS2005 beta 2 and tried to compile one of my old (VS2003) solutions and it mysteriously fails. The error is CS1504 indicating that the compiler can't find the file. The strange thing is that I just converted the VS2003 solution to VS2005. Rebuilding the solution from scratch (i.e. creating a new solution and new projects and adding the source files manually) also fails with the same error. So now my guess is that either I'm doing something silly (most likely) or something is wrong with VS (not so likely). So I was hoping somebody could tell me what I was doing wrong. Here is the way my solution is set up: There ar ...Show All

• Visual Studio Online help doesn't work

  Hi, I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (version 8.0.50215.44, Beta 2.050215-4400) and I'm having trouble accessing online help - it seems as though the "Microsoft Document Explorer" can't see the Internet. When I press F1 to see the reference on some C# keyword, for example, I get the error show in ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/dv_commoner/html/1702ec84-76f9-4a82-9043-9ab8acb8aa5e.htm which is "The information you are trying to access could not be found. Various events could have caused this error." etc. This happens no matter what I search for - it only finds stuff I have locally (like help on help). I access the Internet (with no problems ...Show All

• .NET Development AES Cipher for sslStream

  I am having major problems connecting to a specific SSL-enabled server. This server only supports AES 128 and AES 256, but the .NET 2.0 SslStream class doesn't seem to support it (although the CipherAlgorithmType enum has the values Aes128 and Aes256). When analyzing the client hello sent to the server, the SslStream client only presents the following ciphers: TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_MD5 TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT1024_WITH_RC4_56_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT1024_WITH_DES_CBC_SHA TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5 TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC2_CBC_40_MD5 TLS_DHE_DSS_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA ...Show All

• .NET Development ado.net 2.0 Fill method fails silently (bug?)

  Please help me if you can. Using VS 2005, windows form. I have a dataset with a few tables, some of which are bound to datagrids.  When the form loads, the datasets are filled with data from SQL Server stored procedures.  No problem so far. I have a procedure which processes data (using stored procs), after which I re-fill the dataset, using the same code as successfully fills the dataset when the form loads. But... the fill method fails (silently) when called after the processing. Likewise, if I trigger the fill methods with a button click, the code fails to fill the dataset. However, if I step through (not over) th ...Show All
