• .NET Development DeflateStream throws exception when inflating PDF streams

  Hi, I tried to use System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream to decompress streams from a PDF file. The streams use FlateDecode compression, which is supposed to be compatible with DeflateStream (both are supposed to comply with RFC 1951). In fact, I can successfully inflate these PDF streams using ZLIB library. But when I try using System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream, it consistently throws System.IO.InvalidDataException: "Block length does not match with its complement." Is there any way to fix that Thank you John Still no replies I will wait one more day, then try posting a bug report. John ...Show All

• Windows Forms font

  Is it possible to use a control such as textbox or something similar and allow the user to change the font, size, etc... In addition I would like to retrieve the exact font and size, etc that was saved. Thanks The Control class has a Font property which you can set. To let the user set the font, you would need to give them a way of specifying it, and once you do that, as your code will set the font, your code can also use the info of what font was set in any way you like. ...Show All

• SQL Server Value dimension

  Hi, I have a dimension 'Customer' with 15 customers. When I look at the value of a customer it shows : [Customer].[Name].&[1] (this is the value for Kelly Woods). Is it possible to show it as [Customer].[Name].[Kelly Woods] thx I see you've got a userid and password in your connection string - so are you connecting to the server using http If so I remember in AS2K that certain connection string properties got lost if you made a http connection. Otherwise I don't know why it isn't working; perhaps AS is deliberately ignoring it if it thinks it will create ambiguous names. Sorry... Chris ...Show All

• Windows Forms Selecting A List View Item

  I have the hitch selecting a list view item. I want a user data entry form to dispaly when a user double clicks a listview item. Prospery - You should be able to hook up the MouseDoubleClick event on the ListView by goin to the Property Pane and selecting the small lightning bolt to look at the available events.  Then double-click beside MouseDoubleClick to generate the code for the event handler and go directly to it.  You can then use listView1.SelectedItems to get the set of selected items, which will give you the item that was double-clicked.

• Visual C# C# socket programming help

  Yeah, I know the subject is vague, so I apologize :-) I'm basically learning c# in my new job during the past month, and I'm feeling fairly comfortable with ASP.net, etc.  I was given the task of making a basic socket listener that would basically listen on a specific port for data, and then write that data to a file.  Eventually the data will be coming at any particular time, and won't be having any sort of header or footer or anything to handshake with.  Pretty much anything that comes on that port we will be using, and right now I'd just like anything that comes on the port to be written to the file. I found a sample projec ...Show All
