• .NET Development request.BeginGetRequestStream with FTP in ACTIVE mode problem.

  Hi, i'm making an asynchronous upload function. When using .usepassive = true all is good, i can transfer and catch pretty much every exception thrown at it. When using .usepassive = false and the server and client are both configured properly, all is good too. The problem i have is when .usepassive = false and either the ftp or client are not configured properly to use active ftp connections. Here is the code that calls the BeginGetRequestStream request.BeginGetRequestStream(New AsyncCallback(AddressOf EndGetStreamCallback), state) waitObject.WaitOne() After BeginGetRequestStream is used and EndGetStreamCa ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Script Explorer

  How can I set a break point in client side javascript In VS2003, I could run the web application, then in the Debug menu choose Running Documents, and see all the script files - just open one up and set a break point.

  How can I, programatically, get a list of attached databases I'm using VB. You can create Connection objects independently of any other previously defined object.

Set the Command object's ActiveConnection property to the connection . Then issue a statement where the command name is used as if it were a method on the Connection object, followed by any parameters, then followed by a Recordset object if any rows are r ...Show All
