• Visual C# StreamReader and File Position

  I'm processing large binary files. These are PCL files, and I'm looking for page boundaries. I want to store the position of each Form Feed, which in PCL is decimal 12, hex 0C. However, that byte can also exist as part of a raster or other binary structure. So I loop through the file, and when I find a "12", I read ahead 14 bytes to compare them to a known string. If I get a match, I know the 12 was a real Form Feed, and I store it's position in an ArrayList. This works fine using a FileStream object and its ReadByte() method and .Position property. The problem is it is very slow. I'd like to use a StreamReader to take advantage of buffering ...Show All

• Visual Basic Querying Active Directory to check if a Username exists

• Software Development for Windows Vista XPS and High speed digital print manufacturers

  Hi all. I am interested to hear if microsoft has been involved directly or by third party with hardware manufacturers with respect to XPS (e.g., Xerox etc). These companies tend to support and RIP Postscript or derived technologies such as VPS via Creo RIP to drive their high speed colour printers (such as the Xerox iGen3). Do microsoft feel that metro is a language that will work alongside postscript in this arena and is there any feeling about whether such manufacturers are likely to adopt this and create a RIP sometime soon Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

• Visual Studio Visual Source Safe Command Line

  Hi! What can be the advantages we can get by using the Visual Source Safe Command Line In any automated build environement with multiple code trees, the command line is much more simple and reliable when trying to create a specific version of the code set. Although the GUI is fine, the automation interface does not provide a simple method to get the "latest" version of a file that is PINNED to a prior version. Automated creation of command lines is also easy due to the simple syntax, and by logging them to a file, one can always see what was attempted, and repeat or test a single step by simply cutting the line from the fi ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL CE Push ConnectTimeout

  My application synchronises data with a SQL Server using RDA, the synchronisation process take place in a background worker thread. Due to the single connection limit with SQL CE 2.0 the form thread has to wait until the synchronisation process completes before connecting to the database to perform any updates or inserts. Normally the RDA push method executes quickly and the delay on the form thread is not noticeable. However CPU usage on the SQL Server can seriously affect the duration of the Push and consequently the form thread can appear to hang, not good from a user point of view. Is there anyway to set a maximum Push duration or ...Show All
