• Visual Basic Loops

  Hello, I am trying to create a program that generates the fibonacci series numbers between 2 and 1,000,000,000 (1 billion). The user enters in an number in to a textbox (between 2 and 1 billion), and the program then outputs the Fibonacci series up to that number in a list. The program is also supposed to output the number of numbers found up to that specific number and the sum of all those numbers found. It would be easy if the task was to, lets say generate odd numbers up to a specific number. You would just use a loop and keep on adding "2" until you get up to that number or 1 less than that number. But I can not figure out how would ...Show All

• Windows Forms Web/Smart Client Architecture Question

  We are looking to port an existing desktop app to a web solution.  The biggest downside in a web version is the lack of functionality available in comparison to the desktop version. To counter these limitations we are also considering a smart client version for the power users that need the full functionality. The question is, if we create a set of web services for the data access layer for the smart client, would there be any issue in using these exact same services to drive the web version as well   Would there be any extra overhead, slowdowns, inefficiencies with the web version in using a web service to drive it's data ac ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Remote Connection

  This has probably been answered before, but... I have a local SQL Server 2005 instance running, and I would like to have another user on my network connect to this instance.

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. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error 28: - Server doesnt' support requested protocol)" So, I checked the properties for the server, and under the connectio ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Object Implements ISerializable, Exception when used with WCF

  I am having a problem sending an object across application boundaries using WCF. The Operation Contract is a simple method “void SendAlert(Alert alert); The Alert class is a pretty complex object that inherits from an abstract base class that implements ISerializable.

When I call the close method on the factory object (my code is below) I get the following exception stack: System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException: An error occurred while transmitting data. ---> Sy ...Show All

• .NET Development Can you obtain the progress of the Fill/Update commands of the TableAdapter including Cancel

  TableAdapters have a Fill, Update, Delete commands. I am trying to "mimic" the SQL Management Tool interface, if you open up a table, the status bar has "Retreiving data...", there is a Cancel button and it collects the rows asyncronously allowing you to see how many rows it has already collected, if you cancel it just stops the flow of rows coming into the table. I am wondering how to acheive such a thing using a TableAdapter I notice there are no events on the dataset and no events on the tableadapter, how could I monitor the Fill and Update events Regards, Michael Proctor Have you looked at the Dat ...Show All
