• Visual Studio Text field prints trash

  When I preview a report with pictures and text fields, it looks normal. Then I print the report and the pictures are OK, but all the text fields are printing trash (garbage) characters. Wanted to post this follow-up as I have learned more about my problem. I have two printers: One a HP Laserjet 5si (w/Postscript) and another HP Officejet 7410 All-in-one.

• .NET Development ThreadPool and Webclient.UploadValues

  I have an app that listens on a multicast socket for some data then wraps that data in some XML and POSTs it to a web server for storage (the response from the web server contains no useful info so I ignore it).

But I was wondering how I would ever get rid of the structures that a ...Show All
