• Visual C# DLL-independent C# application

  Have developed an application under C#. However, the EXE file was unable to run in a PC without .Net environment, which is short of those relevant .DLL files. It is possible to build up a C# application running independently from DLL files Hi, If what your asking is, " Is it possible for a C# application to Run w/o the .net Framework ". IMO, No. C# needs the .net framework in order to run... If you install the .net framework, any C# (except those using 3rd party components) would definitely run... cheers, Paul June A.

• SQL Server matching inbound and outbound messages

  When you begin a dialog, you do so between source and target. A conversation is begun on both source and target, and messages flow between the two. What would cause messages to build up on the source in sys.transmission_queue and not get transmitted to the target, with no error in the transmission_status column of sys.transmission_queues The dialogs on the source have a state of 'co', indicating that messages should be flowing.... I checked the status of the queue I am having a problem with in sys.service_queues; all my queues have the is_receive_enabled and is_enqueue_enabled set to 1. I altered the state of the endpoint on each server t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System What SC do you guys (Microsoft) use internally?

  I read on the Team System site that you are planning on using TS for source control once it's released. What SC software do you use currently Just to add one more tid-bit of information.  The server we are currently using is a 2-way mid-tier and a 4-way data tier (8GB of memory, I think).  This "server" is supporting over 400 people who have used it to varying degrees - probably about 250-300 that use it daily. It stores over 65,000 source code files 22,000 work items 350 workspaces and more. My time to update my workspace (a get command) from the version control system (and I enlist ...Show All

• .NET Development BackgroundWorker force cancel

  Hi, It is of course possible to cancel a background worker by calling its CancelAsync method. Sometimes, it may be required to force the cancel. Imagine that the worker is calling an external synchroneous method (from another process, COM...) that requires a lot of times to proceed. At this time, with CancelAsync, we can only check for CancellationPending before and after this method call. But isn't it possible to force the cancellation, I mean for exemple sending something like a ThreadAbortException to the background worker thread BackGroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync ends up queueing a work-item on the CLR thread pool. The thread po ...Show All

• SQL Server Data-driven subscription error

  I'm using Windows 2003 server with Sql server 2005 June CTP. When I create a data-driven subscription for a report everything works fine, the query that gets the subscribers from a database is validated successfully. The subscription is time triggered, but when it should start and deliver the reports I get a logon failure error. I use credentials stored securely in the report server. I tried it with sa account and it still doesn't work. When I try to edit the subscription I can see there is blank space where the password should be, is this just to prevent abuse or because it just doesn't store the password Could someone please tell me what a ...Show All

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

  I'm using a UDP socket for network communication with socket.Blocking == true and SocketOption(ReceiveTimeout) set. 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 on a socket with Blocking == true I wouldn't expect a WSAEWOULDBLOCK exception on a blocking socket. This is happening with .Net 2.0 Beta2 on WindowsXP Pro with service pack 2 (and updates). T ...Show All

• Visual Studio Latest VCBuild with VS 2003?

    Hello, Our current set up is about 150 projects building with VCBuild and VS 2003.  The build server, which is a dual Xenon CPU with HyperThreading on kicks a build every 10 minutes (if a new check in has been committed), and it takes about over an hour to get the results of our build (debug and release).  I'd like to speed things up a bit, and I believe that if VCBuild could take advantage of the multi-CPU & HyperThreading it will improve build times quite a bit. I know the new VCBuild for VS 2005 has a switch (/Mnumber) to create concurrent builds (if you have a multi CPU machine), is there any way to use or get a ...Show All

• Windows Forms caller Id

  I made a program that shows the number of the incomning call when caller id is available. For this i dowload an active-x that detects caller id. I use the model 5633 modem of US robotics. The problem is that the number is not always shown . Even when i make call from the same number it 's not always displayed on the screen. The developer of active-x told me that this is problem of modem or drivers. I updated the driver but the problem still remains. Does anyone knows any better PSTN modem that support caller Id in Greece and to show always the number. Hi, Could you be more clear in your problem definition ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Coexistence of VSS and TFS

  Hi, Could you please confirm if co-existence of both TFS and VSS is possible and there is no impact on each other. By this what I mean is that both VSS and TFS are installed on the same box and some projects are using VSS and some are using TFS SCM. I am worried because I saw a link http://www.eggheadcafe.com/ng/microsoft.public.vsnet.vss/Jul2005/post23030072.asp which states that there is a issue with this (thought he is trying with Beta). I am not sure if there are any issues in the released version. Please guide as I have to make some decisions based on this. Thanks and Regards Prash ...Show All

• Visual Studio Attaching process to Windows Service

  I have a windows service that has been built (VS 2005 Beta 2), installed and is running ( I am getting output in the event viewer, and part of it the service is working correctly).  But when I try to debug it using the "Attach to process", the service process is greyed out, and I am not allowed to attach to it.  I am running Windows Xp Pro, SP2, as an admin. Not sure if this is a security or permisson problem so I also have tried adding "Everyone" to the "impersonate a client after authentication" in the user rights assignments in local security settings, but it didn't help. I installed the service using a Setup Project added ...Show All

• Windows Forms Custom Control Click Event

  I Have created a custom control which has a couple of labels on it and a progress bar.
