• .NET Development How do I enable useUnsafeHeaderParsing from code? (.NET 2.0)

  Hi, We have several webservers that do not follow the correct RFC specification when performing some specific HTTP web requests, in order to communicate with them we need to enable unsafe header parsing. Changeing the webservers to respond correctly is NOT an option in our case. According to documentation, adding the following lines to the app.config enables the unsafe header parsing. <system.net> <settings> <httpWebRequest useUnsafeHeaderParsing = "true"/> </settings> </system.net> This works nicely for regular applications, however, the problem is that our .NET code is exposed and run as ...Show All

• Visual J# Why is these text comparisons not working

  In my little program I have a richtextbox and a button. When clicking the button this code is run and when I debug I see that my in the richtextbox entered text is indeed in the txt variable. But when I for example enters 'hej' the first if statement is skipped, why txt = hej so txt=="hej" ought to be true! But isn't. private void Button_Click( Object sender, System . EventArgs e) { String txt = new String (); txt = richTextBox.get_Text(); if (txt == "hej" ) Button .set_Text( "OK" ); else if (txt == "q" ) Application .Exit(); else { Button .set_T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Need a fix to area bug

  I am running Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Beta 3 Refresh and have discovered that if a user without sufficient permissions tries to create an Area in the Areas & Iterations dialog that an error is given to the user but the Area is still created. It appears that the Area was not completely created though, it shows up in that dialog list, but is not available to be used by work items and it cannot be deleted by anyone. When I (from a global administrator account) try to delete the area, it gives me this message: "TF50309: You do not have sufficient permissions to perform this operation. Node cannot be deleted.". Is there ...Show All

• Visual Basic Try...Catch statement Question

  I have a Try...Catch statement that contains 12 Operations inside it. On the catch I want to display a msgbox that tells exactly which operations failed. I was looking through the exception methods and couldn't find one that worked. All of the methods provided relative information but nothing specific. The reason I want to pinpoint exactly which operations failed is so that the user can email the error message to me and when I get it I will know exactly how to fix it. Thanks. Is there a way to show information like a breakpoint shows For example my breakpoint details say: At Form1.vb, line 129 character 13 ('Char1_Read', line 25 ...Show All

• .NET Development GridView wont display records if LIKE is used in Query

  I have an Access Query named "TestQuery".  The Query selects users with "678".  Condition is: Phone LIKE "678*". Any time the dataset that is used by GridView1 is assigned to "TestQuery" it doesn't return any records. (Even though in Access it does). If I modify "TestQuery" and make the condition anything that doesn't include a LIKE it works. Am I missing something Vincent Fournier If I change the Criteria on the Access Query to: Phone LIKE '678%' like you recommended it doesn't select any records when I run the Query within Access but it does in the GridView.  When the Query is: Phone LIKE '678*'. & ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System ArgumentNullException Value cannot be null. Parameter name: menuService

  I now get this message anytime I try to run (debug/release) a unit test. I've given up trying to get my complicated solutions to work again (they worked fine for weeks but now crash). I can easily reproduce this problem with a new solution. After a clean reboot, I create a new C# Solution/project. I add the following public method to the class: public string tryUnitTest() { return "This is a test of the Unit Test." ; } Next, I right click and choose "Creat Unit Tests..." pick: "create a new Visual C# Test project..."

  I think DoNotDeclareVisibleInstanceFields should not be raised on ComVisible(true) structures. Alex Hi Alex, why do you want this rule not to fire on ComVisible structures Are you trying to satisfy a contract where there has to be a public field COM interfaces allow properties as well so when your class is exposed to COM you should be able to call through the properties.
