• Visual C# Threading Join issue - getting Join_Timeout Exception.

  Hi all, I have an application that creates an object which creates a thread in its constructor. The application then starts this threads by calling the Start() property on this object, and then calls a Thread.Sleep(), and then the Stop property to stop the Thread() - and example of the code is below..with the issue I am getting provided below. static void Main() { PowerNotifications pn = new PowerNotifications(); pn.Start(); Thread.Sleep(10000); pn.Stop(); } public class PowerNotifications { public PowerNotifications() { t = new Thread(new ThreadStart(DoWork)); } public void Start() { t.Start(); } public void Sto ...Show All

• Visual Basic Good articles on event handling in VB.NET

  I've started moving in to more advanced VB and I am presently having a look at event handling. I have tried to find some good resources on Google but event handling in VB.NET doesn't seem to be the stuff that people write about. On of my main questions is about the difference in event handling between C# and VB. Is it my perception or is event handling in VB a lot more basic I would appreciate it if anyone could point me in the direction of a good web resource or a book on event handling in VB. Thanks jjrdk I've been digging into the subject and have stubled across a major obstacle when implementing even ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using classes from dynamically linked DLL

  I am attempting to use classes that are defined in my custom written DLLs. I am dynamically loading the DLLs using LoadLibrary. I already know how to access functions using GetProcAddress. Is it possible to do something similar for classes No! You can not use class exports via this way with LoadLibrary. A simple approach is to create interfaces like COM interfaces and return only pointers to those interfaces from the DLL. This is alaso a very flexible aproach and you hide the implementation details fully. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MDX(apr2006) tutorials?

  Hello all, I was wondering if anyone knew any good C# + MDX tutorials for a beginner. There are plenty of them out there but all of them seem to use an earlier version of DX9 than the april 2006 release. I had purchased a book (by Tom Miller) that seemed promising but I couldn't compile any of his code because of relatively big syntax changes. Should I just give up trying to use the newest release and go back to the summer 2003* release to actually use the book. I find it unfortunate that I'd have to use an older version to learn only to be forced to move forward later and have to relearn the correct classes/functions all over again. edit: * ...Show All

• .NET Development [Need help] linking error for Platform SDK Server 2003 SP1 build 1289

  Hi, I'm building my x64 application with PSDK ( in "Win Svr 2003 x64 Build Env" console) and make file, without any VS IDE. Some applications are sucessfully built and running on x64 Win XP. Somehow, two kinds of linking errors always happen in a MFC application. I try to use /VERBOSE:LIB, /NODEFAULTLIB to analyze and re-arrange lib order, but it doesn't help. Many different linking options are also tested, it's still helpless. The following linking errors come from a static-link make file. Actually, both dynamic and static link also have the same problem. I'm trapped here. Why it can't link MFC lib Can an ...Show All

• .NET Development ListView Fit Column Headers to View (no horizontal Scrollbar) and dynamic Resize

  I am desperately seeking an answer to this problem. I've built an extensive ListView and one finishing touch is to remove the horizontal scrollbar entirely, as it is not needed in my application. The width of each subitem in the listviewitems is irrelevant. I am building an email application and would like subject, sender, recipient, etc (7 headers in total) to fit within the ListView's view without the ability to resize beyond the container. If the user wishes to view the data under a column, I have the tooltip popup to display the remaining (non-visible) data. When a user resizes a column, the column next to the resize handle shou ...Show All

• SQL Server executing a package from T-SQL

  Is it possible to execute a package in a trigger or stored procedure For most practical reasons, no. You could use xp_cmdshell to call DTEXEC which will execute a package. This will run your package synchronously, so doing this in a trigger would generally be a very bad idea, as this would block the transaction from completing during the execution. If trying to reference the data from the transaction that invoked the trigger then you will be blocked as well as this has not been committed yet. Long running transactions are generally a very bad idea. Another method would be to create schedule job th ...Show All

  Anyone out there developing or modifying packages w/ C# and the SSIS objects that I can compare notes with Thanks! Hi Darren ... I've taken a look around SQLIS. Very helpful indeed!
