• .NET Development Communication between USB, MOdem and TCPClient

  Hi everybody,   I never programmed using sockets over networking, I know a little about using TCPClient. That's it. So, I like to asked how this is done, for a program to send and receive data from windows application to TCPClient then to a Network Connection class (via USB) and then to Modem.   My question how do you programming codes fro TCPClient to connect to a USB port and then to a modem. Say you use a TCP Port 8000, local USB port and local GPRS Modem. How you will write the code for connection between them How do you connect to a local USB Port and know the name like in serial port there is "COM5" Right Then How would you c ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TF26198: The work item does not exist, or you do not have permission to access it.

  hi all.  I have been running VSTS at home, but for security ( as in, in case of fire, etc ), I've moved it to my in laws house, put it online using a program called Hamachi, and connected to it over the web.  It all seems to work great.  I can check out code, I can add work items, but when I try to check code in and view the list of work items, I get the error above.  Note: I am logging in as the same user as when the computer was under my desk here, nothing has changed, except the location.  I get the same error when trying to view the list of work items. Obviously, I lack permission to view the list suddenly, al ...Show All

• SQL Server Database Mirroring vs SQL Server FailOver (Performance)

  Hi there. I’m running some tests in a database with Mirroring and without Mirroring. As expected there is a performance hit using Database mirroring. The tests i’m running are just simple functions inserting and updating the database, and then counting the number of sucedeed inserts and updates in a time interval. My question here is: What if i use Sql Server failover mechanism I know that failover time will increase and management is more complex, but what can i expect in terms of performance Fail-over clustering will perform better than database mirroring (in synchronous mode), s ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums ActiveX RICHTX32.OCX

  I am using  the RICHTX32.OCX in a vba application.However, when I installed the program on a new pc with WinXP SP2 this ActiveX was different from the one on my SP1 machine.ThisActiveX was suddenly not allowed in VBA. Why Please, what is a "Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 UserControl control", or where is it ... Thanks RESOLUTION If you design solutions for Microsoft Office, you must avoid using this control directly. If you have to provide the functionality of this control, create a "container" control, such as a Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 UserControl control, an ATL 6.0 Composite control, or an ATL 7.0 Composite control that ca ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Project Portal Reports only showing top selection criteria

  I have installed TFS Beta3 with VS2005RC0. Everything by and large appears to be working correctly. One thing that isn't. If I show the project portal web page the four default reports on it only show the criteria selection headers but no data.  I just want the charts here with no critieria selection like in Beta 2. How do I fix this All my reports from the report node and http://localhost/reports run fine. Thanks, Chris Hi, i figured out the problem, quite simple actually. The report is generated but the problem lies in the webpart. it is to small to show the webpart. when I gave the webpart a height of 400 px the report showed u ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problems inheriting a form with DataGridView on it.

  Hi! I have a few problems with inheriting a form that has DataGridView on it. How to reproduce an error: - Create empty project - Add dataset and add one table to it - Create a new form called Form1 - Add DataGridView and BindingSource to it (set public access to both) - Link DataGridView's DataSource to your BindingSource - Create a new form called Form2 that inherits from Form1 - Add DataSet and DataAdapter from step 2 - Bind DataSource's DataSource to your dataset and set it's DataMember to your table - Overload form's OnLoad to fill the DataSet using your DataAdapter - Modify application entry point(Program.cs) so Form2 gets displayed ...Show All

• .NET Development UDPClient Slow Connection

  Hello, I was developing an UDP sender service (for an applicatoin in my company) and I used the UdpClient, which came to be really handy and useful. But when I tried to send UDP datagrams to an unknown IP, this means a fake low IP (for example 10.198.0.105 whick was not present on my network) the UdpClient in fact sent the data but after a huge amount of time... 10 seconds or even more. First I used the Udpclient Send method passing the byte array, the lenght, the string host and int port for the destination host. That method was producing the delay, so I started to split it a bit more making the Udpclient call for the "Connect" me ...Show All

We get an error " Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS".  We have tried all the suggestions on the net and have finally run out of options.  Has anyone else had this problem   This problem happens sporadically on some machines, and on others it happens with every single call.  The function I am testing is called "CheckConnection" and simply returns a 1.  I am passing all of the logon credentials.

• Visual C# Copy Local Fails

  I have a large solution (16 c# dll projects, 1 c# exe project) where the dll projects are project references  of the exe project.  I have set copy local true for all the projects. The problem is on alternating rebuild-all builds one or two of the 16 dll's are not copied into the exe's bin/debug directory.  On the good build, all references are there and on the next build, some of the dll's are missing. Any suggestions SB The problem was fixed by toggling the references to copy local = false and then back to copy local = true.  This causes the following entry to be written into ...Show All
