  I’m trying to use the my.log.writeExcption method to write exceptions to the event log on a web server. I’m having a hard time finding information on how to set up the web config. There are lots of good examples for my.application.log but not much showing up for my.log from ASP.net.

• Visual C++ /CLR and Packing issues

  It seems that one cannot build a .net project in VC++ that uses anything other than default structure alignment  - in VS2005.  After some trial and questioning I found that out and now my VC++ web service does compile and all the link errors are gone except for 1 new one.  That one is about a missing extern called _CorDllMain.  I need to know what that is about as I cannot find anything in help on it. Also, it seems that changing packing to 8 will cause me problems, even if I do get the project to link.  This is a mixed mode project, managed and unmanaged code, that uses /clr:Oldsyntax, and it accesses an existing ...Show All

• Visual C# Process & WaitForExit & OutputDataReceived

  . Rob, This is from a larger project so I've tried to cut and paste the relevant bits.  This took ages of trial and error to get working. Hope you can make sense of it. Cheers Steve The process is started from a class that also has a Windows form (to show progress).  The sendclip method starts the commandline process which returns as soon as the process is started - as then events take over.  The show dialog displays the form and kind of forces a 'wait'.  I use events to close the form when the process finishes and things carry on this.sendclip(clip, clip.Partialcommandline, Qsyst ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions New to C

  Hello. I was interested in programming in C and of course I bought a book. However the book is a little outdated, so they describe how to use the tools such as the compiler, etc. They teach you how to compile and link everything with Borland and Microsoft Visual C++. This book is C For Dummies, printed in '96. I downloaded Visual C++ and it has WAY more features than the one in the book has. I'm lost. Starting out he teaches you to do the usual "Hello world!" script, I started a new project, created a C file, typed in the code, saved it and...

• .NET Development New datasource doesn't produce tableadapters

  New datasource doesn't produce tableadapters I created six new tables in my access database.  Try as I did, I couldn't add them to my current dataset. So I added a datasource, to which I added those six tables. The designer new the new datasource shows tableadapters for each of the tables. However in my code, when I try to dim a new tableadapter, I get the warning that the tableadapter isn't a member of the new dataset. However, intellisense will allow me to dim a datatable.  However adding a row to a datatable is cumbersome.  I haven't used vs studio 2003 for a long time, and I don't even remember how to do it. dennist6 ...Show All
