• Visual C# event

  ok i read 1000 articles about events, they are all saying how to do what to do and i think i got that reall good, but still remain one big clarifing question: On click event how does even the event know that the user clicked the mouse Well... this "how does the event know that the user clicked the mouse" doesn't really have to do with events but with how Control class does it. The Control class from WinForms is in fact a Win32 window and so it receives window message from the operating system. Upon receiving some mouse meesage like WM_LBUTTONDOWN it fires a MouseDown event. It's something along this lines: void WndProc(M ...Show All

• .NET Development A symmetry issue

  I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but any help regarding this simple( ) issue is appreciated. I need some symmetry between my development environment and my running web site. The root of my web site is http://www.mysite.com/ while the root of my development environment is http://localhost/myproject/. This means a lot of trouble as some url rewriting on my site forces me to use absolute referers in a href and img src attributes, which come to point to different locations in my local environment and on my web site. I tried redefining the root of my local environment in iis to c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\myproject\ instead of c:\Inet ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Assigned to" field in the work item editor

  Although I have added the team members in the Server groups they don't appear in the Assigned to“ combo of the Add new work item“ dialog. What should I do to get the team members listed in that combo Thanks, Ognjen Actually, we got around the problem by putting the users in the global namespace admin group first (close VS, reopen again).  Then move the users to their appropriate permission groups (e.g.: project contributer).  This seems to work for us (for now...) Hope this helps, Cissy. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Peer Channel performance

  Hi all! I am building a p2p application using WCF and the peer channel and one of the requisites of this application is to be able to send the higher number of updates per second. While doing some profiling, I noticed that server was sending (at least the sending method executed and returned) at the rate I had specified but clients were receiving at a variable rate. For instance, I specified an update rate of 170 miliseconds on the server and logs said it was sending more or less at that rate. But the logs on the client side were different: they showed a quite variable receiving rate (i.e. 171, 12, 189, 12, 231, 11, 171, 12, 232, ...Show All
