• .NET Development Windows Service using Sockets

  I am experiencing a wierd problem... I have a C#.Net application Server which uses Sockets.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Convert between Func<T> and Expression<T>

  Are there facilities to convert a Func<T> and an Expression<T> in order to use something that was intended to be used as a predicate and use it instead as an expression tree -Scott Convert it Runtime I dont think so, its an compiler trick afaik . Im afraid they need an extra layer of indirection for that. So i guess its not possible yet. I tried to achieve the same thing for an kind of Linq query analyzer but ended up writing my own interpreter. There is however a sample on how you can create your own interpreter and create a delegate for it, i guess you can do the same thing with some ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Alpha-Blended DirectX Overlay

  Hi, I would like to create an overlay with a surface that overlays another surface. The specific application is to take the video rendered from a AX control drawing using DX, then create an menu overlay with another DX surface and have the menu alpha-blended over the video surface. So far I have tried a transparent dialog box, but the video underneith flickers as the region is invalidated. The overlay box fades in and out perfectly, but only when the overlay menu is completely faded out does the video stop flickering.

• SQL Server Setting Passwords In Connections Using Script Task

  I have a situation where I have to read an encrypted password from a table and set the password and userID for the connections. I wrote functions to retrieve the data from a table, decrypt the password and UserID, and set the connection string for the connection. What happens, though, is that the connection string I wrote to the connection gets changed when reading it back so that the password is no longer included. Also, in testing the connection, it fails, telling me login fails. Can anyone shed any light on this Does anyone have sample code to show the setting of a password for a connection in a script task All of the examples I find are ...Show All
