• .NET Development Byte array -> String encoding

  Greetings and sorry for the likely newbie question. I also hope this is in the right forum! What's the most "pure" way to encode a Byte array into a String I've performed several searches but none have yielded much insight into my particular problem. I'm using C++, COM Interop into a VB6 application that uses a String return for socket class, but the actual issue is in the .NET native code. Using: Encoding::ASCII->GetString(byteArray, 0, iNumBytes) .. converts values >7 bits to a replacement value... and Encoding::UTF8->GetString(byteArray, 0, iNumBytes) .. truncates the higher value chars from the conversion totally.. ...Show All

• Visual Basic msgbox not working after upgrading to XP - SP2

  I'm working on ASP pages with calls to COM+ DLL on XP platform. I wrote a method that simply call "msgbox" and display a value. I used this method to debug my ASP pages. It worked until I upgraded to XP-SP2. Now, it totally ignores msgbox call. Did Microsoft change the behavior of the msgbox or is there something else I need to do in SP2 to make this work I'd been searching the web for a couple of weeks and can't find any mentioned of this. Any help is appreciated. It's possible that SP2 adds some popup blocking to IE, I can't recall. I'd check the IE settings to see if there's a popup blocker run ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System When do reverse deltas take place?

  The TFS FAQ mentions that the server creates "reverse delta" of both binary and text files "asynchronously as a background task". I'm unable to find any other information on how or when this reverse delta creation happens, what factors affect how long it takes, and if it can be controlled.  Is there any documentation on this In addition to just wanting to know, I'm interested in understanding reverse delta creation as I am experimenting with using TFS as a large binary data file version control system. I'm working with a company that has to manage large binary data files  (not documents and which cannot be easily convert ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Server side scripting ?

• Visual Studio VS2005 Include Folder configuration madness

  Hiya, We're in the process of testing one of our add-ins against VS2005 Pro RTM, and along the way we are encountering some very, very odd behaviour. The latest to surface relates to the Visual C++ include folder configuration. In VS2002 and VS2003 you can simply grab a VCPlatform object directly from EnvDTE::Properties:Item(L"Platforms") and use it irrespective of whether a solution is open. Unfortunately, the Platforms property has gone in VS2005, to be replaced by "IncludeDirectories", which contains the raw (i.e. including macros) include folder configuration. So far, so good...except that we still need a VCPlatform object ...Show All

• Visual C# GDI form transparency problem

  I'm trying to draw a transparent form using GDI, by overiding the OnPaint and OnPaintBackground event handlers. This technique works well enough on the first draw,and it produces a nice result, however, on subsequent draws, it works less spectacularly. For some reason, the screen is never cleared, and when it redraws the new things are composited ontop the previous draws, making the transparent images darker and darker. Here is the contents of protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { Graphics g = null; Assembly assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly(); Point point = new Point(400,400); backBuffer ...Show All
