• Visual C++ CSocket Locks up in CSocket::ConnectHelper (sometimes)

  A CONNECT PROBLEM WITH CSocket I have what I think is some very simple CSocket code for a client and a server, but I'm having difficulty getting it working since it occasionally locks up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here's the situation: I have a client program and a server program. I start them both up, assuring that the server starts up first and is waiting and ready for the client. They are both running on the SAME MACHINE. ON THE CLIENT SIDE When the client program is started it successfully makes a connection to the server, sends a simple (command) string to the server, and then retrieves (data) strings from the Server ...Show All

• Windows Forms Unbound DataGridView and Dates

  I can't seem to make an unbound grid deal with dates properly. Anybody have a sample of how to display dates in a DataViewGrid such that the column that displays dates sorts by date and not by the string representing the date I also need to set the date format used. There is a ValueType property that looks promissing except I have not been able to set/change an unbound column's ValueType. Is that possible How In my case I need to set the column type dynamically based on SQL passed into a procedure so I cannot set the ValueType at design time. Given that can ValueType be changed once rows exist (Most of the above assumes, maybe incore ...Show All

• SQL Server Linked Server connection issue

  We have a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition set up on Server 2003 Standard Edtion OS and one on Server 2003 OS Enterprise Edition. All of them have their Service Pack ones installed.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Generating wsdl:documentation from WCF

  How do I generate wsdl:documentation in WCF In the .asmx world, I used [WebMethod(Description="Foo")] attribute. I would have expected something similar on the OperationContractAttribute. Interesting example. But for some reason it seams only to work in one direction on my machine. Adding comments to the wsdl works, but the extension seems to be ignored while generating a proxy from wsdl. Can you also tell me where in the code the comments should appear I’m making the following call: svcutil.exe http://localhost:8000/MyTestService wsdl /svcUtilConfig:IndiDocumentation.dll.config Antoine Sav ...Show All

• SQL Server using AJAX

  Hi, For a particular application in mind I intend using AJAX to directly access a SQL procedure/ web-service preferably bypassing IIS (since it may act only as a pass-thru) using XMLhttp.

• Visual Basic Strange datagrid paint oddity

  Hi there, I have a datagrid which is populated but will be cleared when the system goes into what I call a "modification" mode, which is just database storage. I clear the grid by setting the datasource property to 'Nothing' and also by calling the databindings.Clear() method. The outcome is as expected, the grid is empty EXCEPT when the user has highlighted/selected a cell just before the grid was cleared...in which case the grid clears fine but leaves the selected cell. This looks absolutely terrible and unprofessional having this cell floating in the middle of nowhere on an empty grid. I got a workaroun ...Show All

• Windows Forms AutoToolboxPopulate not working

  Hi One of the great things I liked when beta testing VS 2005 was the AutoToolboxPopulate feature that would populate a special tab in your solution toolbox whenever you create a new Control or Component. The feature seems to still be there (seen it in the Windows Forms Designer UI options tab) but it is not working properly. Whenever I build my app, the controls built in are not showing up in the toolbox. Is it related to the fact that I create simple classes files instead of custom control files (which at the end are just source code files) Thanks Amadrias I received a response from Microsoft the other day ...Show All
