• Smart Device Development Problem with setup and use a GPRS RasEntry...

  Hi everyone, Does anyone has already played with a PocketPC with GSM cellular I’m with a Eten P300B and I’m having some difficults to create and manage DialUp accounts (RasEntry). When I’m creating an Entry trough the Windows Mobile UI, I have to select the "Cellular Line (GPRS)" device and enter a access point name ("tim.br"). I always used the RasGetEntryProperties and RasSetEntryProperties functions to create and manage RasEntry, but I don’t know how to specify value to fill the "Access Point Name" option. If I create the dialup and call the RasDial() function, it connects without problems, but if I need to c ...Show All

• .NET Development Expiration of Dlls

  Hi, I am a new comer to c# and .net. I am currently required to solely maintain a c# and asp.net based web application. My ex-colleague who worked on the application says that the dlls will expire this month end. He says he has set expiration dates and this is locked in an encrypted file. To decrypt and remove the expiration dates, he has to come in person, use his active USB card and unlock the code. I don't understand this. Can somebody please explain what he has done Thanks, Bell Hi! It appears that he has embed in code something related to dates and expiration, I can guess a dozen of ways t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Setup is the pickiest program!

  Can anyone tell me why I cannot install TFS using a SQL Server that has reporting services installed I have a very large and powerful SQL Server cluster that I cannot use for TFS since it has Reporting Services installed (and no, I am not going to remove them). I understand that TFS wants Reporting Services on the application server but it should not install just because I have them on my SQL Server. You can use the single server configuration of TFS to keep Reporting Services on your SQL box. BTW, if you do move Reporting Services to the application tier, it's only moving the RS application tier - the RS databases are still on ...Show All

• SQL Server Is (local) really local?

  I have one outstanding problem to address before I can ship my product. In all my searches, I have not seen this problem mentioned. It seems that you guys are my last hope. Sorry if it has already been asked and answered. When connecting locally to a named SQL 2000 instance (SP2, SP3, SP3a, and SP4), I am noticing a lot of network traffic that I can't explain. It happens on every machine I've tried. Here is the setup: Conn.

• SQL Server VSA vs. VB.NET

  The Script Task uses VSA (Visual Studio for Applications) for scripting which some people refer to as VB.NET. I think that VSA is a subset of VB.NET, but not identical in all respects Do you know of any URL's that document the differences bewteen these languages TIA, Barkingdog I believe that VisualBasic.Net in VSA is the full monty and I could not find any references that suggested otherwise. Is there any particular issue causing you problems Donald ...Show All

• SQL Server Keep getting Virtual Memory errors

  Hello, I am wondering if there is a way to solve a virtual memory error We randomly get the following error when trying to run sycn over the http websync.

• Visual Studio Merging auto-generated code with custom code?

  Let’s say you have a DSL combined with a set of wizard and recipes to generate code for a custom framework on which a customer would like to build all future .NET applications. As a developer I start the first iteration of the application development and generate supported implementation artifacts. Then I continue adding my business logic (e.g. code behind “click” events in a form or code in C# classes which skeletons were generated through recipes). In iteration #2 I figure that I messed up the framework code that was initially generated. For instance, I modified the caching mechanism of the framework which in consequence led to viol ...Show All

• .NET Development Best practice while writing C# functions

  Hi, Anyone has any idea about how to free up memory in C# functions. Does the GC collects memory after a function has executed How about setting variables to null after we are finished with them, or the GC will automatically set them to null Does setting variables to null in finally causes an overhead void TestFunc() { XmlDocument xdDoc = new XmlDocument(); try { // use xdDoc } catch { // handle catch } finally { xdDoc = null; } } I'm sorry, but no bug in the XmlDocument has been demonstrated in this thread.

• Visual Studio Team System How to enable code coverage for COM+ server components

  Hi, I have a COM+ server component, a bunch of assemblies and corresponding unit tests for all of it. Code coverage works well except for the COM+ component where coverage is 0% although there are unit tests for it and they pass. Is there a way to enable code coverage for a COM+ server component I know it works in library mode but I would like to stay as close to the target environment as possible. Thanks in advance,   J. This scenario may not be supported in the UI, so you may need to control collection from the command line.  I got more information from the developer for you.... If the serv ...Show All

• Visual Basic Not the debugger. CPU still naps!

  Hi again, I am back. Dustin H. told me how to get an exe file without debug code.  Thanks Dustin.  I ran the debug free exe and got the same result as with the debugger.  I have modified my program so that it only call one procedure, a bitblt procedure which I got from the net.  The same procedure is published all over the net so I am pretty sure it is bug free. The procedure is called from a two timer loop where one timer starts the next and the second one calls the bitblt procedure and then starts the first again. I record the time (in milliseconds) that it takes for the call to the procedure to finish and I record ...Show All
