• .NET Development All versions of Framework?

  I'm not sure which forum to post this question in ... none of them seem right. We are migrating our 1.1 WinForm app to 2.0. Our app uses a few third-party .DLL components. At least one of these is compiled under the 1.0 Framework. I have two questions, I guess. First, will an app that was compiled under 1.1 run under 2.0 I was under the impression that it would not, so I wanted to load the 2.0 runtime on a clean machine and see if the app would still run ... IOW, I wanted to see by loading the 2.0 runtime (as if I were an end-user), if the 1.1 and 1.0 runtimes were also loaded. (Which is my second question). Unfortunately, I ...Show All

• .NET Development STARTTLS support?

  I'm struggling a bit with a VB.Net 2005 app that requires SMTP STARTTLS support, both from the client (initiating) and from the server (receiving) side. STARTTLS allows email clients and servers to begin with a non-encrypted TCP/IP session and then "upgrade" the connection using encrypted TLS upon the client issuing the STARTTLS command. I believe I can use the standard socket class and then overlay the SSLStream class, also bringing in the certificate class. Thanks for any insights, code snippets, etc. that you may have. -Jim Are you using the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient object   It sounds like you ...Show All

• Windows Forms .NET with IE

  I am unsure of the technology direction/selection to be used here. In the past when writing an application to be hosted in IE we would build simple ActiveX controls to meet advanced UI requirements. Moving forward with .NET what is the recommendation to meet similar needs Basic searches have all turned up ASP.NET but this requires server side IIS use and that may or may not be the infrastructure from location to location. Client stations have IE but servers might be running Apache. Any suggestions/recommendations/direction Thanx You might want to consider writing a distributed application, where you would h ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ListView not using Style when data bind

  I have a ListView control on the screen. In one of the columns, I want to display a complex type, "DistributorInformation". In the <Application.Resources>, I have defined < DataTemplate DataType = " {x:Type src:DistributorInformation} " > ... If I display something of this type in a ListBox, it works great. However, when I try showing it in a ListView, it doesn't pick up my default DataTemplate. I defined it like this and assumed it would pick up the default template: < GridViewColumn Header = " Country Earned " DisplayMemberBinding = " {Binding Path=DistributorInfo} " ...Show All

• Visual Basic serial port - com

  I toke from the VB6 the example about using the serial port with MSComm. I run this program in VB2005 after it was upgrade ofcourse by the VB2005 and try to send and receive strings in a loop(1-1000).

• Smart Device Development Sql Server CE Licencing

  That licencing SQL Server CE is free when not connecting to a SQL database, and when a copy of Visual Studio .NET is used to write the application (not the embedded VC++ as discussed in the EULA). Is it possible the EULA is too old to include the newer .NET Thanks, Jeff To use SQL CE with .Net you'd need VS 2003 Pro or above. SQL CE is included into VS 2003 and is covered by it's EULA. Since you're obviously very concerned with licensing issues, you might want to hire an attorney to eliminate all uncertainties with SQL CE and other products you're planning to use. ...Show All

• SQL Server Restricting number of records

  I want to restrict the number of records coming from an OLEDB source. I have 500 records in my source table and I want to process one record at a time I have I set the MaxBufferRows parameter to 1and it l sends 8 records from OLEDB source Any help is appreciated. Sorry but I don't quite think I have enough info to answer your question. It is of course possible to get the record you want to process by using a sufficiently restrictive SELECT statement; i.e., Select * from TableXXX where ID = 123 or some such thing. It would seem to me that if you want to process a single record at a time, that doing something like this in a loop wo ...Show All

• .NET Development how to get some text into a XMLWriter?

  This should be sooo easy. I've got a XMLWriter object I've got a XMLNode How do I get the XMLNode.OuterText into the XMLWriteObject without having to go through hoops messing about with streams, textwriters or any other derived stupidity or otherwise writing lines and lines and lines of code when I should be able to do this in about 3 lines These new readers and writers are rubbish. They just bend my head backwards every time I have to use them. Either I'm very very stupid, or they are just long-winded and illogical And please microsoft, tell w3c they can have thier own xml dom, just ignore them and write us one that isn't soooooooooooooooo ...Show All
