  Hi, I'm new to .NET framework. In the past I've used Borland and trying to learn visual c++.NET is a challenge. I'm not familar with MFC, so I'm diving straight into .NET. I have not found any good beginner/intermediate books.

• Visual C# How can you make your software expire after certain Days ??

  Hello All, I have an application which I want to expire after the trial period and only works after you eneter the key. Any suggestions, piece of code which I can use to secure my application. Thanks, Harsimrat Well, you need to store the date the software was installed, that date needs to stay if someone does an uninstall, and then you may want to write some code that detects if users have been playing with the system date. As for entering a key, you have all sorts of options there. Do you want a key tied to a machine Do you want to generate a response key ...Show All

• Windows Forms Data Sources window is always blank.

  I had SQL server 2000 on my PC that has a windows 2000 OS. I installed visual studio 2005. Now when i want to add a data source to my project, I go to Data-> Add new data source. However when i have a form opened in the IDE, the data sources window is always blank. If i open the dataset designer i see all the data sources for my project in the data sources window. Does anyone know why is the data sources window always blank, other than when i have the dataset designer opened. It can be related to firewall settings as described in my blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/sql_protocols/archive/2005/09 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Nested Concept and Nested Diagram

  Hello all, I read through the DSL example posted here , which covers features of the December's release. In that example, snapshot of the Toolbox shows: Nested Concept, Nested Shape and Nested Diagram. It looks like these capabilities were removed from the current release. My question is whether these features were removed for good and is there an adequate alternative in the current release Especially I am interested in creating a concept, shape of which should be placed only within the boundaries of the parent concept (class).

• Windows Forms Webbrowser Control Memory Management Question

  I have a C# application that uses the webbrowser control. I've noticed that as I load more web pages through the webbrowser control my program continues to consume more and more memory. (It starts at 9MB and quickly climbs to 40MB by simply loading web pages.) My question is really two part: Q1: What is the reason for this compounding memory comsumption Web cache, memory leak, ... Q2: Is there some sort of garbage collection I should be manually performing such as routinely clearing some sort of web cache in RAM   JBrown9264 wrote: But I am still left with the problem of memory consumption.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Indigo and Method Overloading

  Hi there I have been playing with WCF for around 2 weeks now, and have noticed that I am not allowed to build services that have methods that that only differ by parameters and return types. I am not sure why this functionality is not allowed when using the svcutil tool. i.e. is it a SO issue or is it a bug in WCF or is it a limitation of WSDL Thanks in advance Marco Short Answer: It is a limitation of WSDL + XSD in some sense. We are looking into this to see if we can solve it (for RC0). You can work around this by customizing the name of the operation using OperationContractAtt ...Show All

• Visual C++ DLL fails to load been compiled with VC2005 despite of correct set of manifests. Error 126.

  Hello. I'm compiling quite simple DLL with VC 2005. And it fails to load on my system. Before I have compiled this DLL using VC 2003 - everything was ok and I have not changed any line of code since then. At first I was getting message that MSVCR80.DLL could not be found, but after maybe 50 faults message boxes do not appear any more and it fails to load silently. Every time I'm getting error 126 ("Module not found"). I've tried different variants of manifest files (generated by compiler, listing below) - both external and internal (with resource ids 1 and 2). Result was always the same. Dependency Walker is able to load my DLL ok and correc ...Show All
