• .NET Development ThreadAbortException encountered in .Net Remoted Object hosted in IIS

  Hello People, Background I have a Remote Object consumed by an ASP.NET application for sending mails. The remote object is hosted in IIS 5.0 (WIndows 2000 Server (SP4)). Both the remote object and ASP.NET application are in .Net Framework 1.1. Why Not Web Service instead of Remote object It is an obvious question which I am not interested in discussing right now since that will eventually deviate from solving the real problem. What the Remote Object does The remote object accepts the send mail request and sends mail through a SMTP server. The location of the SMTP server is stoed in a configuration file. Currently I use loc ...Show All

• Visual C++ Heap/Stack Overflow/Overrun Issues

  I am running a simulation program in VC++ 6 that requires arrays (dynamic or otherwise) that will eventually have as many as 200,000 entries of type "double". The program works fine when I use small arrays (with a few hundred entries) but fails when I increase the array size to say several thousands. The error code is "Unhandled exception in sim.exe: 0xC00000FD: Stack Overflow". I guess the main question is, if possible at all, how do I increase the stack or heap size so that the program can accomodate arrays with 200,000 "double" entries Other advice most welcomed. Thanks in advance! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sharepoint error after installation

When I try and create a new project (I am an administrator) there is an error when it gets to the sharepoint section.

• SQL Server How to write a Function that can return a value from a dynamic database?

  I need to get a value from a dynamic data base, and I thought that the best way to do this was by using a scalar function. I'm not too experianced in writting Functions... so I thought I'd post here and see if it is possible, and if so, how Basically, I will be using 3 parameter: varchar @DataSource (the datasource string in the form of "server=SRV;uid=USER;pwd=PWD;database=DB;") int @RecordId (the primary key id column of the table) varchar @TableName (the name of the table) All tables have this common structure: INT [id] VARCHAR [title] I want to return the Varchar @Title based on my provided para ...Show All

• Windows Forms Sluggish performance 2005 final release - Us or MS?

  We have a windows application, originally developed in VS 2003, now in VS 2005 final release, using Visual Basic.  It has become painfully sluggish to design in, though the speed when running the app is fine.  My PC is a Pentium 4, 2.5 ghz with one meg ram. I can not tell if the problem is with us and the way we designed the solution, or if it has something to do with Microsoft and Visual Studio as a whole.  I realize that you are capable of having a field day on my ignorance but hope you will resist the temptation. When opening the app it takes 3 minutes before we can actually get anything done. The Solution Explor ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I use spelling checking and grammar checking in my windows application

  Hi Friends, I'm now creating an application to check spelling and grammar like MS Word can do. I don't know how can I use these features in my application, could you please help me.

• Visual Basic PDF Nightmare

  I have been searching the world for a free, or at least cost effective solution to add the ability to save PDF files within my programs. All of the solutions that I have been pointed at cost at least $3000 for a full redistribution license! I'll be lucky if I sell 1 copy of my software at a price of $25, so I can't possibly see the point of spending that much money. So this leads me to two solutions: 1. If ANYONE out there knows of a free or cheap ($100) pdf dll that I add to my program then please throw me a bone. I need the ability to create pdf files from scratch and just add text and pictures... 2. I would like to create my own pdf ...Show All
