• Visual Studio Express Editions Product Activation Problem

  I installed Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 about two weeks ago.

• .NET Development Garbage Collector encounters access violation and calls ExitProcess

  I have an application written in a combination of C#, C, and C++. The main application is a C# Windows Forms application. It calls into C DLL routines that in turn may call into C++ code. This application is using .NET 1.1. When running, occasionally the application suddenly exits. When running under a debugger, I've captured that an access violation occurred within the garbage collector and then the garbage collector called ExitProcess causing the sudden exiting. During the access violation, the stack is: 00 0012ef64 7923b74a 05560531 00147294 00000000 mscorwks!gc_heap::mark_object_simple+0x75 (FPO: [Non-Fpo]) 01 0012efe0 79238072 ...Show All

• .NET Development Populating Combo Boxes from a txt file?

  I am building an application that has several tabs that in turn has many controls on it.  I am wanting to deploy txt files that will populate the combo boxes with the application.  Thus if the combox box list needs to change it could be done by updating the txt files.  My idea now is to have the txt file contain the name of the combo box and the items associated with that combo box listed directly underneath.  The problem is that I can't reference these combo boxes by the name, but only by the index.  But for ease of administrating these updates I would like to use the name instead of the index, and I think it would ...Show All

• .NET Development Does the number of handles increase if a remoting call fails?

  I have a server s and a client c . My program is running and after some time s fails and shuts down. Now, c every remoting call from c to s fails. I have notices that this causes an increase in the number of the client's handles. Is it true How can I avoid this situation In other words, do I have a facility that let's me check if a remoting call will succeed before the failure happens (because a failure will cause resource leaks). I have made a simple test with the TcpChannel and I see an initial increase in the number of handles, but after a few minutes everything calms down :). In my opinion the ...Show All

  I have what is hopefully an easy question. The set up is as follows: A store hierarchy dimension for a retail company that has national, regional, area and store levels. The users are secured by AD groups, and everyone at an Area Level on down can see the data for their area. Users above an area can see the entire company's data.
