• .NET Development socket.Receive() on blocking socket throwing WSAEWOULDBLOCK exception?

After several thousand packet exchanges, socket.Receive() starts throwing WSAEWOULDBLOCK (SocketException.ErrorCode == 10034) and seemingly continues to do so indefinitely about every second or third call to socket.Receive().   Can someone shed some light on what might cause socket.Receive() to throw a WSAEWOULDBLOCK exception ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System ImplementIDisposableCorrectly woes

  Me again, with some more Dispose confusions.  FxCop has nudged me to implement this snippet of code but still complains about the DerivedComponent class, with the suggested resolution: "Remove IDisposable from the list of interfaces implemented by MyNS.DerivedComponent and override the base class Dispose implementation instead."  DerivedComponent does not directly derive from IDisposable, and I'm assuming "overrde the base class Dispos ...Show All

• Visual C++ Help needed with "error C2784"

  . I am going to address your core question: There is already a lot of discussion in the C++ community that #include <iostream> already pulls in way too many other headers - and believe me it was not designed this way. Why should <iostream> pull in <string> The two are not related and there is really no reason why one should depend on the other. We do provide every STL function and algorith ...Show All

• Windows Forms Hiding a column's right border

  Is there an easy way to hide the right hand border of a column (i.e. creating the effect that 2 columns are one - my second column has an image in it) I have seen some code for handling cellpainting, which paints the right hand border with the background colour, however when i repaint the text inside the cell, it appears that i must specify a co-ordinate. If the row vertical alignment is middle for example, it makes it hard to paint the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Icons from Imagelists?

  I've got a question about Icons, i've loaded a few icons into an image list and when I try assign an image to the forms icon property I'm getting a type exception because the imagelist contains 'images', lol.
