Visual Studio Team System Registering com during build
Hi all I'm trying to register a COM dll during the build process, my Regsvr32 is looking ok but it returns an error code of 3. However when I try and register manually (whilst remotely working on the server) it works absolutely fine. Any ideas Thanks Kev I needed to register a dll before the project was build. In the project folder I created a new folder 'lib' and copied the dll to the folder Opened the project file in the XML editor and added a new target block: <Target Name="BeforeBuild"> <Exec Command="regsvr32 /s "$(ProjectDir)lib\dsofile.d ...Show All

.NET Development RSA Encryption
Cant find much info about this one on the net, but my problem is that cant encrypt\decrypt long string, im getting "Key not vaild for use in specified state" error.The key size is 2048, but string over 200-250 chars just dont get encrypted.. Thanks all If memory serves me right, RSA works in blocks that must be smaller than the modulus by 11 bytes, for padding. This would mean that a modulus of 2048 bits will allow you to encode 245 bytes at a time, which seems compatible with your findings. The value is in bytes, so you will see some fluctuations depending on what you feed the UTF8 encoder ...Show All

Visual Studio MSBuild conditional import and Visual Studio IDE
Hi all, First of all, apologies if this is the wrong group - the problem I'm experiencing seems to be in the MSBuild hosted in the VS IDE, rather than the command-line MSBuild. I have vcproj files with conditional imports (to pull in MSBee build rules for a FX1.1 build). These build fine from the command line with the relevant conditional parameters set - I use a condition of: Condition=" '$(Platform)' == 'Win32 (.NET 1.1)'" so I can in theory use the platform in the IDE to discriminate between 2.0 and 1.1 builds. This works fine in the IDE for conditional compilation settings (e.g. I have a <DefineConstants>$(DefineConstants ...Show All

.NET Development How to accomplish webservice using .NET remoting
Hi, Please let me know how to accomplish remoting on two different machines supporting webservices. Scenario: My application has a client and server (2 different machines in same network).

The data access layer component accepts dataset from webservice and performs updation. Iam getting a concurrency violation while u ...Show All

.NET Development Webclient gives generic error during Async operations
I have an application that is attempting to upload a file using the WebClient method UploadFileAsync. I assign the callback functions and then call the following: m_UploadClient.UploadFileAsync( new Uri (m_URL), "POST" , m_Filename); It immediately calls the UploadFileCompletedEventHandler and indicates there was an error by the existance of an exception in the UploadFileCompletedEventArgs . Error object. The Error message just says "An exception occurred during a WebClient request."

Visual C++ create C++ DLL to be used by C# ?
I want to write a native C++ function that I can later access from C#. Please keep in mind I do not have much experience developing on windows, (mostly unix) and that my only windows compiler is VS2005. I tried creating a MFC DLL. I am able to access this from a C++ .net program, but not from a C# program using P/Invoke. It seems that a plain MFC DLL is not "good enough" for use with DllImport. Is this correct It seems that I have two options: 1) compile the C++ function as a COM DLL (not sure how to do this from VS2005 - I don't see an option for that). I see an option for an ActiveX DLL...I hope I don't need to do tha ...Show All

However when I hit the drop down button the item is still there. Ideally I would like it so that if the "Del" key is hit nothing happens. Thanks in advance You can block the delete key by doing this: Private Sub ComboBox1_KeyDown( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.KeyDown If e.KeyCode = Keys.Delete Then e.Handled = True E ...Show All
