• .NET Development SecurityAction.DemandeChoice is obsolete ?

  I'm working with Beta 2 (v2.0.50215) and I'm using PrincipalPermissionAttribute. As I wished to use more than 1 attribute on a single method, I tried the new SecurityAction.DemandeChoice flag. To my surprise, the compiler said this flag is obsolete ! I've not found anything about that on the web (nothing about that on MSDN2 for example) except in a Mono mailing list. Has this new feature been removed Is there other removed features Thx Hi Nicolas, LinkDemandChoice was in earlier builds of Whidbey, but we did decide to remove it from the final shipping bits.  There was some internal architecture work that we th ...Show All

• Visual Basic COM visible DLLs: are they only legends?

  Can anybody provide a direct, straightforward method of creating a DLL with properties and methods exposed to other programs I followed the instructions that I found on the MSDN websites as well as suggestions from forum participants. The DLL should be available both for COM and .NET programs. So far, nothing has worked. There are numerous variations listed on the MSDN site. No doubt there are reasons for the differing instructions. However, I have not had sufficient success with any of them. Sometimes, just building the project makes the class visible to COM compatible programs. Other times, only after running regasm. Still other times, I h ...Show All

• Visual Basic Detecting External IP Address

  Hi, How can I detect the External IP Address of machine which is running my Application. By External IP address means that IP Address through which PC running my Application is accessible through Internet. and not the local IP Address Thanks Hi, Thanks "plenderj" I got your point..Though I doesn't love the idea to be dependent on external resource for this.

• Smart Device Development Dell Axim's x50v/x51v hardware Direct3D driver slower than software rendering in HX4700

  The (in)efficiency of the Dell Axim x51v's Intel 2700G D3DM driver is by now fairly well known, but I thought it worth posting about this, also as a brief followup to Mark Prentice's excellent piece on D3DM efficiency ( http://blogs.msdn.com/markprenticems/archive/2006/03/10/547983.aspx ). I've just updated my HP HX4700 to WM5, and so have been able to test it's efficiency in running D3DM programs that I've written and those of other authors. A medical visualization program that I've written with CF and D3DM that displays 3D organ models actually runs faster on the HP4700 than on the dell. The model has lighting, which is probably wh ...Show All

Take a look at Type.Interfaces, you can scan these to see whether a type implements something like IDisposable. You'll need to check the entire inheritance chain (via Type.BaseType).

• .NET Development SQLCommand object doesn't want to accept my parameter

  Hello all! I tried to fill a DataGridView with the data received from a SQL Query. It doesn't work. It seems as if the parameters are not used. After having passed the parameter and value to the command object the query still looks like before and the result is empy. If the placeholder would have been "replaced" by the parameter, the query would be correct and would return results. What am I doing wrong Here's a snippet from my code, expect all other variables to be correctly initialized. The whole stuff is running under VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Express string _str_query = "SELECT * FROM [user] WHERE lastname='@PARAM' "; strin ...Show All
