• Visual C# C# analog clock runs slow on some computers

  Hi all, I have a problem with the System.Threading.Timer class that I am using for my clock. The clock runs faster on an Intel box than it does on an AMD box and it has nothing to do with the CPU speed. Has anyone come across this before Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Ok, I have found that it is not a cpu problem as I have another box with an AMD Duron XP 1000MHz(5x200) which runs at the correct speed. I have tried it on another computer (an intel celeron 4A, 2400MHz(6x400) and it runs slow. ) There doesn't seem to be any link between the CPU and the slow clock problem. I thought now maybe it could be a video card problem, but ...Show All

• Visual Studio Automatic check in

  I'm running VSS 2005 with VS 2005. 1) When I open a project under source control it used to ask me which files I wanted to check out. Now it just opens the project. 2) When I close a project it used to prompt me to check in my changed files. Now I have to remember to manually check in the files before I close the project. How do I get it to prompt me again Cheers, Ben Thanks Alin, yes the project is under Source Control. You're right on the check out. Now I think about it, in the past it might have just been asking me if I wanted to open the project. Clearly I don't want to check out every fil ...Show All

• SQL Server VS.NET 2005 and CLR stored procedure permission sets.

  VS.NET 2005 automatically deploys a CLR stored procedure when you start a project with debugging. However, if the CLR stored procedure attempts to access external resources you will get a message stating: System . Security . SecurityException : Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed . I've isolated this to being because the CLR stored procedure does not have the EXTERNAL_ACCESS permission set. Is there a security attribute that can be used to decorate the CLR stored procedure code so that VS.NET 200 ...Show All

• .NET Development How can application lifetime be controlled for ASP.NET hosted runtime?

  I am hosting the ASP.NET runtime in code that runs as a windows service and I am trying to figure out what the best way to keep the application I am hosting in it from unloading when a period of inactivity occurs. I see that the HostingEnvironment class has methods to increment and decrement BusyCounts. If I increment the busy count will that effectvely keep my application from unloading The documentation states "If the busy count is greater than zero, the hosting application will not time out even if there are no pending requests." I am not sure if the docs were meant to say "the hosted application" rather than ...Show All

• .NET Development SmtpClient.EnableSsl Meaning

  I suppose I am showing my lack of knowlege about the protocol used for SMTP and the actual delivery of e-mail using that protocol between the sending server and the recipient's receiving server. But I have a real basic question regarding encrypting of an e-mail message with respect to the SmtpClient method of sending e-mail. The SmtpClient.EnableSsl property description is as follows: Specify whether the SmtpClient uses Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) to encrypt the connection. I understand that to clearly mean that SSL (or TLS) will be used to encrypt the data sent over the connection between the client application and the designated ...Show All

  I am reading characters from a file (file paths) into my visual basic program. My system (XP) understands the characters but when brought into .net, they are ignored and i get the following message "could not find a part of the path." These characters are Swedish. Is there anyway read these characters. The problem is the encoding I'm not sure how your reading the text from the file.

• SQL Server I'm retarded and need help with Derived Column or Script Task

  I am moving data from an oracle database to sql server. Two of the source fields are dates, which sometimes contain values I know to be incorrect ('0001/01/01' and '1900/01/01').
