• .NET Development I want to confirm this about AppDomains.

  Hi, In my application I create a secondary AppDomain and load assembly "Foobar". Shortly after, I call: foreach( Assembly a in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies( ) ) { Trace.WriteLine(a.FullName); } And wouldn't you know it, the "Foobar" assembly appears in the *current* app domain. I didn't think this assembly would be present because it should be in the secondary app domain. If you hold the mouse over CurrentDomain, the tooltip says: "Gets the current application domain for the current System.Threading.Thread" It was then that I seem to recall this: "Managed threads have no app domain affinity, mean ...Show All

• Visual Basic How would I get a beveled line?

  I want to put a beveled line in my program but I cannot find the control for it. If you do not know what I am talking about, a beveled line is the line that can show up at the bottom of most installer programs. Its the line that seperates the displayed info from the Ok / Cancel buttons. Usually it will contain a line of text. i.e. the installshield installer's beveled line reads 'InstallShield.' I figured since it is possible to put this in those programs then I should be able to put it in mine. If you still don't know what I am talking about then run nearly any installer. At the bottom, above the buttons, is the beveled line. htt ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista TypeProvider.RemoveAssembly

  Does TypeProvider.RemoveAssembly somehow actually unload the assembly from the app domain (I didn't that's possible) The real issue is if we have a running implementation where someone decides to change the logic in a code activity. Can we load the revised assembly without shutting down the workflow engine Thanks, - Erik Erik - this just removes the assembly from the TypeProvider instance - not from the AppDomain. To load the same assembly with different code you'd have to shut-down the AppDomain. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS CAL licensing

  Hello, How does licensing of SSIS work on a CAL basis As far as I'm concerned there are no users of it per se cos its a back-end process. Therefore, do you only need one CAL Thanks Jamie   My understanding of SQL licensing is that a SQL Server CAL License allows you to connect to any and all services included with you version of SQL (RS, AS, DB, etc). Therefore, you only need one CAL if only one user/device is accessing the SQL Server. You may want to reference the following whitepaper on licensing. The breakdown of the different licensing models is on the very first page. http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ho ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Messenger API and Xbox Live

  Hi all, With the Messenger API kit is it possible to get information on alerts, specifically Xbox Live alerts I'd like to create a section on the Xbox site I am working on ( www.myxbox.co.uk  ) that shows who is on Live and what game they are playing. Was just wondering if this would be a possibility with using the Messenger API. Or perhaps MS will be launching a Xbox webservice of some sort (I am praying here!!!) :-) Cheers Nick Swan So to recap, there isn't webservice or API that would allow me to enter a gamertag(s) and get whether they are on xbox live or playing a particular game Are there any additional ways of get ...Show All

• Windows Forms passing variables to form

  I made my textboxes on form1 public. I was able to access them through my form2, after I made a statement like form1 form2 = new form1();   Problem is, the text boxes are all empty on form2. Is this because I initiated a new form1 and therefore the textboxes are set back to their default as empty How can I access variables stored in form1 from form2 thanks. Awesome.. thanks.. that worked.. I have no idea why I never tried that. So all I gotta do is define my variables globally. I thought I tried that.. guess not cause I tried a few tests and it works great. Jeez this language makes it awkward to p ...Show All
