• .NET Development Client requires callbacks

  Hi, I've been developing an application for transfer files between server and client. The remotable object is hosted in IIS on server. The client uses a Windows application for transferring files. The client requires callbacks from server during transfers. This is required for displaying progress bar showing the amount of bytes being transferred. I've used the following configuration files for Server and Client and it works fine on my own compute. But when I add the Server portion on a different computer accessible through Internet, it gives me an error "Could not connect to the remote machine because the target machine active ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bound Datagridview: adding multiple rows and save after each add

  I am using a Datagridview that is Bound to a Bindingsource.  I add one row by typing values in it and when I leave the row my code writes the additions back to the database. Now here's the problem: Once I enter the 2nd new row no value is automatically entered in the Identity column (like in the first new row) and as soon as I start typing in one of the cells (not the Identity one)  VB Express 2005 starts throwing exceptions (Index N doesn't have a value). I want to save each new record after it is added so that I can make sure no duplicates are being added. Any idea how to fix this        Thanks Simmy O ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why Close a proxy?

  Hi I know that as a best practice we should call ICommunicationObject.Close after using a client channel. What are the real consequences of not calling Close/Dispose In what i understand, it depends of the binding, right, like if we're keeping a transport channel opened or not, is that correct thanks! This is probably a stupid question but I can't find anyt docs that talk about why you need to or why you may want to be sure to call close on a client proxy. Can someone explain why this is a good idea And assuming that it is a good idea to explicitly close the proxy at some point then, if my client is a win forms app w ...Show All
