• .NET Development Persisting events in a SingleCall Remoting server

  Hi All               How to persist client’s event subscription to server in a common class.               Basically I need to notify the client from server. In order to do this I tired by having a event in a common class where client and server can access and the client will subscribe it to that event and in-turn it’ll subscribe it to server, when I invoke a server method call from client the particular event will raise and it leads to call the common class’s event and in turn will raise the client’s metho ...Show All

• SQL Server jdbc and java 1.5?

  I'm using the SQL Server 2005 jdbc connector beta, sqljdbc_1.0.419.102_enu.tar.gz, because I read somewhere that it's necessary if you're using java 1.5.  Is that true If I can use the SQL Server 200 jdbc connector with java 1.5, where can I download it The "problem" I'm having with the beta driver is that the documentation is rather sketchy.  I'm using the connection pool and I'm trying to figure out how to set the parameters so that my application doesn't die when the database becomes unreachable or goes down temporarily. Thanks We have not revised the SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver specifical ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Syntax coloring for user keywords/types

  In previous versions of VS one could designate user keywords by creating using usertype.dat in the IDE dir and change their color using the 'Fonts and Colors' settings. This still works in VS2005 however I noticed that it has an additional color entry: User Types.  How does one define user types Nick I thought it should mean that but I'm using C++. Any plans on extending that functionality to C++ ...Show All

• Visual C# Process & WaitForExit & OutputDataReceived

  . Rob, This is from a larger project so I've tried to cut and paste the relevant bits.  This took ages of trial and error to get working. Hope you can make sense of it. Cheers Steve The process is started from a class that also has a Windows form (to show progress).  The sendclip method starts the commandline process which returns as soon as the process is started - as then events take over.  The show dialog displays the form and kind of forces a 'wait'.  I use events to close the form when the process finishes and things carry on this.sendclip(clip, clip.Partialcommandline, Qsyst ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Why does delay cause a new thread

  I have been looking at the SDK sample 'WorkflowThreading' and I notice that whenever I put 'Single' 'Delay' into the command line parameters, a new thread gets created. With 'Single' "WaitForMessage', its just one single thread like you would expect. Why does the Delay shape cause a new thread to be created I see where the timer is started and all that but just don't understand the delay/threading thing. Thanks. Matt, Looking back at the code again, that actually make sense. I guess what confuses me is that WaitForMessage is used to represent a HandleExternalEvent, which waits for an event, ...Show All
