• Visual Studio aspnet_compiler exiting with error code

  Hi, I am converting a 1.1 project to 2.0, and have gotten to the point of needing to deploy.  Understanding 2.0's asp.net compilation model, I don't want to deploy our .cs files to the production server, so we have to pre-compile.  I have been trying the built in vs2005 procedures, the command line aspnet_compiler, and also the Web Deployment Plugin.  All of them seem to run perfectly, however, at the end of the task, NOTHING exists in the output directory.

• Visual C++ Stopping my NT service failed after TimeOut

  Hi, I've created a service in VC++ (unmanaged code) on Visual Studio 2005. Everything works fine. But I still have a problem to stop my service. During its termination, my service needs time to communicate with external components (about 5 minutes). When I stop my service from the "Control manager", my service enters in a STOP_PENDING state. I start a independant thread which refresh its status by calling regularly SetServiceStatus. But the "Control Manager" generates a 1053 error after a timeout of about 2 minutes. After several days of work, I can't find the reason, so need help. For information, these my code: void CMy ...Show All

• Visual C# Text reading in C#

  I am looking for a way of reading a text file in C# that is analogous to the method commonly used in C, namely to return the next group of characters (possibly formatted) separated from others by white-space. I cannot believe that C# does not have this, but am unable to find it in the documentation. Let me make sure I understand what you are trying to do. You have white space delimited Text File. You want to read it delimited. If this is the case. Step 1: Read the entire file in a string System.Io.StreamReader.ReadToEnd() Step 2 : Split the String at each white space String.Split(), You should lo ...Show All
