• .NET Development Urgent Problem - Receiving 0 bytes when sending bytes to remote socket

  Hi, I'm having a real urgent problem that only started to show in production. We're using async SSL sockets broadcasting packets to several clients. However, some clients reply with 0 bytes when the packets are sent to them, whereas this problem never showed on our internal network. This only happens for clients connected via the internet. Any idea what could be going on here Tom What do you mean by SSL Socket ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System reverse engineering

  I have been trying to reverse engineer a Visual FoxPro (VFP) 6 database with Visio for Enterprise Architects with not much luck. I'm thinking I need a Visio driver for VFP because when I run the reverse engineering wizard I get a list of "installed Visio drivers" to use but VFP isn't on the list and when I use the ODBC Generic Driver I get the warning: "You are using a Visio 'ODBC Generic Driver' to connect with a 'Visual FoxPro' ...Show All

• .NET Development MessageQueue.BeginReceive method

• Visual Basic Datagridview "HideSelection"

  I'm using an unbound datagridview to display information, and I need to color-code certain cells to alert the user to status events. Is there a way to not have the selected row highlighted when the control does not have focus (similar to the VB6 .HideSelection property) I would explore using the DataGridViewx.SelectionChanged method to test your condition and if not met, set the Style.Backcolor to normal - else ...Show All

• Visual Basic Is Window Obscured - Hidden - Visible

  Hi All, I have been working out how to test if a Window is obscured by another Window. For example; You have App1 and Notepad open.   Notepad is the selected (active) Window.   Notepad is only slightly or completely obscuring App1. After a bit of research I have found the only way to achieve this is to enumerate each Window in the Z-Order and to check the rectangle of each Window with the test Window. If anyone has a better s ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Can TextBlock be made to auto-scale its font to fit into height/width?

  I can't seem to find a way to create a TextBlock with a fixed size and get its text contents to be "best fit", e.g. to automatically scale the font so that all the text is visible.  I tried putting a Viewbox around the TextBlock, and that almost worked - it forced the font to be appropriately small to make the contents fit.  However, it seemed to ignore the wrapping functionality of the TextBlock, so it made all of the text fit on one ...Show All
