• Software Development for Windows Vista timeouts on httpmodule for IIS workflowhost

  Hi all I'm getting this intermintant now continous error where my httpmoule does not appear to loading correctly: Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. the stack trace is complaining about a sql logon   So does the runtime communicate with SQL Server when it first boots up the host   Thanks :) Ok stack trace revealed it was the SQLTracker service...hmmmm interesting. I will have to look into this....commenting that out in my webconfig proved to be the winner.  Ahhhh it was a missing semi-colon on the datasource for my server...lol ...Show All

• SQL Server GACing components

  Hi, help please!! I'm trying to GAC a component that I've built. I had one of my company's .Net gurus help me out with this and we did a few things without me actually following what was going on. Stuff like creating a public key, creating a .snk file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\DTS\PipelineComponents...I have to confess I didn't really follow what he was doing! But, we did manage to succssfully get my component into the SSIS toolbox which was the main thing. Then I looked at the BOL page explaining how to install and GAC stuff (ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.VSIPCC.v80/MS.SQLSVR.v9.en/dtsref9/html/efe22939-9186-4eb4-ac33-6b92 ...Show All

• Windows Forms PropertyGrid & TypeConverter

  I have a PropertyGrid and a list of person in my application. When the user clicks on a person from the list, the properties from that object populate in the PropertyGrid. I got a variable in this object that is CarOwned, which is a Car object. I want the PropertyGrid to show a ComboBox so that the user can specify a car from a list (CarCollection). This list will never be the same, depending of the person. I know I have to derive from TypeConverter, but I’m having problem passing a CarCollection to be populated in the ComboBox. I think I need to convert it to a string array and convert it back again to a Car object. http://www.code ...Show All

• SQL Server Multi-line annotation?

  Is it not possible to have a multi-line annotation OR my ENTER key is stuck ;-) thanks, Nitesh Personally, I wonder why the annotation object doesn't have word-wrapping enabled, like the tesxt in visio. That would certainly (imho) be the simplest answer. I do wish enter worked as well (again, a la visio), but at least now I can takes those 8 annotations I had, and re-merge them into 1, having found this answer. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Processing Serial Data

  I need the reduce the processing time in a uMicrocontroller to allow faster sampling times. This has creates a problem in the data collection routine in VB. The old system collected the analog data a converted it to a decimal format before sending it to the serial port. This data is collected and saved using Hyperterminal. The VB program would, when run, would open this file and process the decimal data by graphing it. What I need is to capture the data directly and process a binary word. All attempts to run the graph program have failed! I'm sure it's in the way I'm reading the data. I've not been able to find much informatio ...Show All

• .NET Development MAC Address

  Hi there, sorry for the stupid Q Is there a way to retrieve a MAC Address from a client machine in ASP.NET I have found a way of retrieving the MAC address for the local machine (Server) but would require it for the client. I can get the hostname and IP no problem but would require the MAC Address, if possible reason to see what user has "disobeyed" any rules etc.. and to make sure that you can "ban" or report them on your website. an IP address isnt enough and a MAC address is. Thanks! yes i was going to point this out I could shell it out but i dont want to have to do that as it is unprofessional. Ok, what about using client side scri ...Show All
