• .NET Development Unhandled exception in secondary app domain

     I am using app domains to host add-ins (.NET 2.0). If add-in does something bad, or if there is an unhandled exception in the add-in etc., I want to gracefully unload app domain without application going down. I tried AppDomain.UnhandledException, but at the time it is called application is already terminating. So how can it be done Alex Hi Alex, The UnhandledException event doesn't allow you to mark the exception as "handled" and recover, as you found out.  Instead, what you'll have to do is have a try ... catch somewhere on the callstack.  You could use a pattern where you ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MediaElement video playing quality

  I find that when MediaElement is used to play a video, the quality is pretty bad - lots of frames are skipped, audio and video go out of sync etc. Is it because I am doing it from a VPC Even then it's strange, because WMP plays the same videos without any of these issues. Is this an issue with the current implementation Robert A.

• .NET Development Validating a Client

  Can anyone tell me if it is possible (and if so, how do I do it) for a remote server object to validate that the client making a remote call is a specific application or component I am trying to create a remote server that will provide potentially sensitive information (such as encryption keys) to applications.  The application would use the information internally without revealing it to the end user. However, I want to ensure that a clever end user doesn't create their own application to retrieve the sensitive data from the server and use it for their own evil purposes! My plan is that all valid applications that can call the rem ...Show All

• SQL Server How to deploy Semantic Models manually?

  Using SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence Studio, I created a Data Source (Test.ds), Data Source View (Test.dsv), and a Report Model (Test.smdl). It is very easy to deploy this model into a Report Server, from the Business Intelligence Studio, by right clicking the Report Model Project and choosing 'Deploy'. But how do you deploy a model file manually to the Reports Server When I use 'Upload File' option in Reports Manager and choose the semantic model file (Test.smdl), it gives the following error: "The DataSourceView is missing for the SemanticModel. SemanticModel must have exactly one DataSourceView element. (MissingDataSour ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO/Access Questions

    I've had a moderate amount of of experience with access databases in vb6. We'd declare a file system object and from that declare a workspace and from that a record set descriptor. One could picture and understand what was happening. VS2005 is different though. You could create and delete tables and define them dynamically. VS2005 seems to be different. It seems that things are done up front in the IDE Almost as if the relationships are drawn. Instructions are to click on this and do that. One creates table adapters and and dataadapers and with these apparoaches everything seems quite removed from what really happening. Al ...Show All

• Visual C# Abstract classes and static methods

  Hello there! I was wondering why is not possible to define a static method into an abstract class, well... I was wondering that because I'm trying to force an user who inherits from this class to implement a static class and I just didn't find a way to do that... is there a way to do this Because there's a layer calling static methods and I don't want to change these methods to regular methods just because I'm not being able to solve this problem... Thanks Static methods can be defined in an abstract class. However, you cannot force a derived class to implement a static method. If you think about it, such a method would be ...Show All

• Smart Device Development No sysmbols have been loaded. .NET 2.0 PPC

  Hi all. I am trying to debug a 2.0 .NET PPC Application. The problem is that when I try to debug the application it says : No Breakpoint will currently been hit. No symbols have been loaded for this document. This happens only when I try to debug the application, cause I deploy and debug it goes fine. The point is that when I deploy the application it copies the entire .NET libraries, even the not referenced ones.
