• .NET Development Sockets and Serialization

  Hi, I'm building a windows forms app that needs to connect to a server farm via the internet. Performance is of the essence. I'm thinking to use .NET remoting but I prefer sockets to avoid the complexity of remoting; the data I need to pass are small in size anyway. For larger data I'll use Web services. I know that sockets connection can pass array of bytes and not objects. Can I pass a serialized object from socket to socket There's any special consideration on doing this Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. ubercoder ubercoder wrote: I'm thinking to use .NET remoting but I ...Show All

• SQL Server Page breaks after subreports

  I have a main report with several sub reports. The short sub reports in the details section of the main report display properly. I have 4 wide subreports in the footer of the 2nd grouping. These look great when I do the regular preview, but when I switch to page layout or export to pdf, these reports have a page break after each that has data. I have no page breaks set in the report at all. I've looked at the other threads on pagination and page breaks but nothing solved my current problem. The closest one is related to the widths, but I've verified my widths are within the limits. Any suggestions Thanks! Sarah Widths Main re ...Show All

• Visual C++ massive compile time errors in stadrard header files

  I just installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition Dec 2005 Disk 3070 DVD. It came with a subscription. It wiped out .NET Framework 2.0, previous betas of all sorts, etc. Now I am at a clean slate.

• Windows Forms DownloadFileAsync Question

  Hi, I am building a class using the WebClient.DownloadFileAsync method so that I may instantiate it several times and start multiple file downloads concurrently. I am trying to build a wrapper class so that all the user has to specify is the download URL and destination. I'd also like to update a progress bar on a WinForms application (one per file being downloaded). Therefore, I would like to know what is the best way to structure my class. Should I be using delegatres, raising events, or should I use the BackgroundWorker component to handle it. I am a little confused as my class would reside in a separate .DLL and would communicate wi ...Show All

• Visual C++ datagridview refresh problem

  Was hoping someone could help with a refresh problem. I'm running a function to update the colours for the rows on the DataGridView in a tabbed pane based on some value from the dataSource of the DataGridView. However the DataGridView will not refresh the first time round. If I move to another tabbed pane and come back then the DataGridView is properly refreshed. What I think the problem might be is that the dataGridView has a few eventhandlers when a user changes the values. So what I did was to call the EndEdit before I refreshed, which didn't work. I've even refreshed the parent of the DataGridView which didn't work as we ...Show All

• Windows Forms DefaultCellStyle.Format for an unbound row doesn't work.

  I add a DataGridView to a form and use the IDE to set the DefaultCellStyle.Format for one of the columns to "C2".  When I run the form, I can enter any value of any type and nothing gets formatted or validated. I tried setting the value in the form's constructor as well, but the results are the same.  Why doesn't this work     I finally realized that there is problem with ValueType property. I've set it to DateTime and when I checked it it was string :-(, so creating custom columd that exposes this property to design time doesn't work. The only solution I've found was creating c ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Paint of DataGridView column headers

  Hi. How can I extends the drawing of the column headers of the DataGridView for instance, to create a GradientBrush on the background. I've found the DataGridViewColumnHeaderCell and I'm guessing it is the key, both how to use it on the grid You can handle the CellPainting event and for the RowIndex of -1 the paint event relates to the ColumnHeader cell. You can also derive a new class from DataGridViewColumnHeaderCell and override the Paint method. If you create your own class, then you can either a) set the column's HeaderCell property to an instance of your custom header class (you'll might want to copy so ...Show All
