• Visual Studio Express Editions IIS/Cassini works locally but could not run it remotely...

  Hi! I really need help here... I've built an ASP.Net 2.0 application using VWD.  So I proceeded to setup IIS 5 normally with Anonymous Access security, set the .Net Framework mapping to version 2.0, and double checked the security settings.  After that, I was able to access the site locally. The problem is that I can't access the site in a different computer which was in the same network.  I could PING my pc from the said workstation but could not even access the default IIS site even if I specified the complete computer name or IP address in the browser. I need help!  Any advice would greatly be appreciated. ...Show All

• Windows Forms TextRenderer and TextRenderingHint

  Am I missing something or does the new TextRenderer.DrawText method not support the TextRenderingHint All of the text it draws is pixelated instead of being anti-aliased. I'm passing it a graphics object with the TextRenderingHint set to Anti-Alias but that doesn't seem to work. Also, the TextRenderer output doesn't look anything like a label control with the same text. What is the point of this new class again Ok... If I set the TextRenderingHint of the graphics object to AntiAlias, the TextRenderer output looks like ***. If I set it to SystemDefault, it matches the look of a label control with the ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored Procedure runs but no records inserted

  I have just installed a fresh copy of SQL Server 2005 on a new server.  I transferred over one of my stored procs which has been working beautifully on another SQL Server 2005 server.

• Visual Studio Add IVsUIHierarchy to Team Explorer

  Hello, I've been trying to extend team explorer with my own hierarchy.  I can get it to the point where my root node shows up fine, and there is a plus icon next to it indicating that it knows there are leaf nodes inside of it, but if I try to expand it, the leaf nodes don't show up and the plus icon disappears. In my implementation of the BaseUIHierarchy class, I've added trace statements in ExecCommand and QueryStatusCommand, but they never seem to get called. Keep in mind I'm quite new to extending VS, and haven't been able to find any documentation for these classes. Thanks The PcwTESample was added ...Show All

• Visual Basic Serial port timeout settings

  Hi! I'm having a problem with the timeout settings in a serial port application in VB2003.net. I can read and write properly as long as the delay is not to long from when the read-line is excecuted to the actual receiving of bytes. This specific function does not work: I write one byte of data to the port with the write function, then i use the read function to receive a specified amount of bytes. The device on the other side of the cable has a delay from that it receives a byte until it can send the specified amount of bytes back to the application. I have tested, and a delay of 50ms is possible before a timeout error occurs. I wan ...Show All
