• .NET Development Getting truncated socket bytes

  Hi, I am listening to a port for data but I am not able to recieve whole data, I only get truncated data. Client sends me data that exceeds 40K and the data I recieve in my callback function is always 8K to 9K. I dont get the rest of the data. I think the data size is too big to come in one go and hence it comes in 2-3 sub-packages but my call back function only gets called once hence I am getting truncated data. I am sending the code...Is there anyway I can recieve complete data sent by client Public Function ConnecttSocket(byVal iPort as integer) Dim _sHostName As String Dim _iLocalPort As Integer = iPort Dim LocalIp( ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Tiny question about MSDTC behaviour

I don't understand what you mean by &quo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) New exception in Beta 2 makes no sense?

• SQL Server Should I use Notifications for this?

  I'm new to learning the notifications architecture and would like to know how heavy into learning it I should go for my project. I have a service the will allow websites to send info to a client application. The app gets downloaded by members of their service. There is the client and the website module for the client.

First, you perform "Undo pending changes" to undo pending Add change. All is kool, the operation is undone and it is possible to work without source control as before. But let's say that you finally decided to add the solution/project. Several findings here * "Add to SC" functionality is not available!
