• .NET Development Possible bug? FileIOPermission failed

  I think the following code should throw an SecurityException if I run the code from a network path. But it does not. try {     FileIOPermission perm = new FileIOPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted);     perm.Demand(); } catch (SecurityException ex) {     MessageBox.Show("Sorry, you can only run this application from your local disk.", "Security Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);     return ; }   And another problem I found is that I do not need to call Demand() to let SecurityException be thrown.

• Visual Basic Problem with Socket?

  It is possible to create a client/server system with sockets without having that to define an IP to connect itself to the server I have a system in vb6 but I am not obtaining to translate into net 2005 Thanks Bottom line is no.

• SQL Server Any way to force collation/sort-order as part of the ODBC connection?

  In the situation where the ODBC client app assumes a specific collation or, more specifically, a specific sort-order (case-sensitive vs. case-insensitive) but the collation/sort-order of the SQL Server Database and/or Table is unknown, is there a way to coerce the ODBC connection to always use a case-sensitive/case-insensitive sort order I believe case-sensitivity is a characteristic of the database you're connecting to. I don't know of a client setting for this. ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS2005 RTM Help can search but does not have contents or index

  I have the RTM of VS2005. I can do a search either on the web or locally, but I have no table of contents or index. I can't seem to find any documentation on how to fix this. My install was on a clean machine that never had any beta code on it. I uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail. There should be some command to generate an index and table of contents. It looks like the files are there (but I am not an expert on VS help files). Thanks, I have both VS 2003 and VS 2005 help working properly. My solution was to uninstall both versions, all MSDN, SDK, and third-party controls that use Help 2.0. I then reinstalled in this order: VS 20 ...Show All
