• .NET Development VB: how to obtain info if DNS ist set by DHCP?

  Hi, I'm just writing my real first VB App. I want to gather the network infos of all adapters and change them on the fly... So far I found all needed objects except if DNS is set manually or by DHCP Does anyone know, how to obtain this info...and if so how to change it Thanx a lot in forward, Stephan You can use system.net.networkinformation namespace to gather all the details of the network. You can't set it using System.Net APIs as they are read only as of now. If you need to modify you need to use the IPHelper APIs. It gives you full control ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SLOW motion when animating 56 and more ellipses...

  in my WPF prog i create 56 ellipses [no full opacity, each on its own canvas] on the fly [out of the resources of a grid] add a storyboard to each ellipse, add the storyboard then to a main storyboard and place them into a 8 x 7 Grid which occupies the whole window size [the window has a linear gradient as a background]. When i then kick off my storyboard the animations come to life BUT the whole thing lags as hell! No, don't have to make so much buzz but the cpu usage cranks up to 100% while the animations are going and during a animation pause the usage hardly comes down to a more moderate level. My opinion ...Show All

• Smart Device Development CF 1 Setting time across Daylight Saving Boundary Issue

  Hi all, I have a CF 1.0 application that needs to keep its time coordinated with that of a server. I am using a P/Invoke of SetSystemTime on the device to set the device time to that received from the server. However I have noted a peculiarity when the new time is in a different daylight savings period from the current time on the device. While, in general, the time drift between the handheld device and the server will not show this issue, it will occur about half the time after a hard reset of the handheld device. In addition, the server may not be in the same time zone as the handheld device, so I must deal with UTC time. (In fact, in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Problem setting outlook reference

  I have code that was working in Beta 2 of VB 2005 using Outlook Interop. The original development machine had Office 2000 installed. The project was transferred to a new machine that has Visual Studio 2005 Professional and Office 2003 installed. Originally, the code ran fine using the following references: Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library - Version 2.1.0.0 Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library - Version 9.0.0.0 At some point, the system suggested an upgrade to a newer library. I allowed the upgrade, and it broke the program. The Outlook reference is lost. Tried to set the references to the newer versions: Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Lib ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC Destination in SSIS

  Hi! I have a problem that stops me from using Integration Services as THE ETL tool. My goal is to load a data warehouse type of a database. The database is MaxDB (former SAP DB), but this is not the point. Let's take ANY ODBC compliant DB and assume all I have is ODBC driver - no OLE DB driver. I figured out how to read from ODBC source (using Data Reader and ADO.NET provider for ODBC). Now my question is how do I output/write my data into ODBC source When I try to use OLE DB Destination it does not give me an option to use .Net Provide for ODBC. I tried other "destinations" with no luck. I use this version of SQL Server 2005: (Mi ...Show All
