• .NET Development socket not released

  Hi, I currently have an app that spawns a connection to server, the server requires hard IP and Port for both my app and the server itself. It then sends a command and disconnects. The problem is that I have to wait ~5 minutes for the socket to become usable again. I know that windows likes to maintain the socket for a few minutes. Any idea on how I can get around this. I call the socket.close() method when I am done sending my parameters. I tried setting socket.setSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.DontLinger, true) but it does not seem to release the socket fast enough (still taking ~5 minutes) for me to s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Do sequence of actions as an atomic action

  Hi. Short question... Is it possible to somehow get Word to perceive multiple actions as a single step. I create a table, format it, inserts XML tags and so. This takes 141 steps according to the undo stack. This means that my enduser will have to press ctrl+z 140 times to undo this button click or hold it for some seconds... It would be nice if I could insert a single atomic step in the undo stack called inserted table or something. Best regardss Anders The Word Document type supports UndoClear, Undo and Redo methods but as far as I know that's it. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/library ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Performance Profiling

  I've been testing various parts of Beta 2 and decided to give the performance explorer and profiling a go.  It doesn't work because I am running my Beta 2 on a virtual machine (I get a dialog that says it can't start vsperfmon and then a second dialog that says can't run sampling on a virtual machine). Why doesn't performance profiling work on a virtual machine Thanks. Bob. Short answer is that the VPC doesn't emulate all the parts of a PC that we need. See this blog post. ...Show All

• SQL Server Remove "top of report" when published via ASP call

  Sorry the subject is a little vague! I am issuing reports via ASP pages. I inherited this setup from my predecessor, who has a cycling "Sales Board" that calls reporting services pages from a script. All other pages do not have the light colored band across the top in which you can add parameters, click the "View Report" button etc. I have now created a new report and this band is there - can anyone please tell me how I can get rid of it for the purposes of display The parameters are fed into the report from the ASP page.

• Smart Device Development Getting and maintaining an Internet Connection

  Well, here's the deal. I have a game built where 2 PPCs exchange moves through a server. So far, so good. The problem is that on some of my test devices need to make a psedo modem     connection (one is an AV6600 on Sprint). I need to do what Internet Explorer does, dial and then keep the connection open. The way I test now is to bring up IE and then I have 10 minutes of testing     before the connection shuts down, unless I go to IE and hit another site. What I really need to do is find out the Connection to use (Work, Internet...)     and then connect and then keep it open. Am wondering what IE ...Show All

• SQL Server Using 2 connections and DB in a query

  Hi, this is proberly a really stupid question, but I am new at this, so here goes: Is it possible to use two connections in a SELECT, i.e. SELECT * FROM p WHERE pno IN (SELECT pno FROM sp) where p is from one connection, and sp is another. Why Well I am trying to stage some data, (my very first attempt at it), and want data from the foreign table where a date is higher than a date stored in my "settings" table located in my stage DB. I am not sure if I am doing this the "right" way, if not, advice is always welcome. Generally I could really use a "best pratice" tutorial on DW and SSIS. Hope the ab ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Converting to DXUT - where does it handle mouse?

  Hello, I'm making a 3D game and I just converted my "game" to use DXUT framework so I dont have to solve many windows(lost device, reset...) related stuff on my own.

I would like to make similar things that could be activated like that, but dont know where to put my code. Or shall I do it exactly at the same place as it is for "PICK" example where it checks for hit geometry in the program. Than ...Show All

  Hi There, I need help on displaying arabic characters on .net compact framework 1 forms. Although the characters appear fine in the designer, when the application runs on the device they are not displayed correctly. They all come out as squares. I have tried saving the form using various encoding types with no luck. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Tomasz You need a device with Arabic font(s) (e.g. localized Arabic device). If particular device does not have fontwith Arabic characters (like pretty much all non Arabic devices), you would see squares instead. ...Show All
