Visual Basic Writtig a client server app
Hi can anyone help to explaim how to use the system.net.socket to write a two tie app. that is client can read and write to a sql2000 server with others at thesae time. And how to connect the two client/server application together. Any help will be appreciated thanks and God bless. Murtala Fastest in terms of development time yes, but xml web services are very slow in comparison to just raw socket communications. The serialisation's a big overhead IMO. Having said that, I would (and do regularly) use web services. I think they're brilliant - just that they do introduce some overhead :) ...Show All
Windows Forms calling GetThumbnailImage()
How do I use GetThumbnailImage() What do I do with the Abort CallBack delegate I am currently using null which seems to work, but is probably not a good idea. The german .net class library documenation says that you must create a GetThumbnailImageAbort delegate. But the GDI+ 1.0 documentation says that this delegate is optional (for native languages). So I think you should better create a delegate which just returns false ...Show All

Windows Forms ToolStrip Merging
In a mdi application, I'm having trouble getting the toolstripmenu and statusstrip to merge from the child into the mdi parent. I could do it when I had the old menu's. The mid child menu just appears in its own window. I tried all of the merge settings. For the status strip, I guess I can update the parent status strip. Any ideas Thanks, Mike D Brad, Thank you for you work around. After doing another hour of research, I found that the mergeindex of the menu item being merged (child form)had to be something other than -1 and it is 0(zero) based. Also I believe, the visible =true prop ...Show All
Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server Trial
Is it possible to upgrade to the trial edition of Team Foundation Server from the release Candidate and later, when we have got it, upgrade from the trial to the "real thing" Actually, I ask if and how we can upgrade from the trial of Team Foundation Server to a real license. /Christer Yes. To upgrade to the full version, all you have to do is re-run the installer in "maintainance" mode and enter a product key. Since the Trial is posted for download and the full version is off getting manufactured, it's actually the easiest route for everyone. See: http://blogs.msdn.com/robcaro ...Show All
