• .NET Development Can't run web services locally.

  Hi, I can create a web service, post it to my host and then use it.  But I can't use a service on my local machine.  I'm running Windows 2000 Professional.  When I try it always says "can't create type classname".  I figure this is because the web service isn't running on IIS like in v1.1.  But I can't figure out how to make the web service run so that I can then run my web app locally and step through it.  Any idea ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. TextureLoader gone? Alternatives?

  Hi, I'm new with DirectX and I'm starting with the December 2005 SDK.  It seems like almost every tutorial or sample I've run into uses TextureLoader to retrieve textures.  From what I've seen, and I've looked pretty hard, TextureLoader doesn't exist in Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D anymore contrary to any documentation that I can find. Well, instead I've been using Texture.FromBitmap to load textures, which I guess is okay... But I can't ...Show All

• .NET Development Asyncronous Sockets support TCP Message Boundary?

  In The Name of God hello as u know tcp doesn't protect message boundries it means messages might be mixed into each other. in addition to that in TCP it's possible that a message would be delivered in diffrent times. so you must use a while loop to get the complete message. like this: int size_Total = 0; int size_Dataleft = 4; int size_Received = 0; byte[] size_Container = new byte[4]; ...Show All
