• Visual C++ Visual c++ .net licence agreement

  A couple of months ago I bought a Visual Studio .Net 2003 Academic Edition. Unfortunately the licence doesn't allow the software to be installed on more than one pc (I didn't know at the time). Last week I tried to install it on another pc, but - of course - it couldn't be activated. The reason I want to do this is that I live with my parents in the weekend, without access to my own pc. Now I'm planning on buying Visual C++ .Net 2003, hopin ...Show All

• Visual Basic ADO.NET Hell

  There was a time in my not too distant past that I could open a database with ADO, query out some data, work with it, and update it.  I have had VB.Net for a little over a week and I can insert data into a table.  I can clear out a table.  What I can't do is is iterate through the rows and update the table.  I am close but I am missing a piece. From what I have read I want to create a connection, adapter, and a dataSet.  ...Show All

  Tom, If you suggest to start the Workflow runtime in Application_Start and stop it in Application_End in a website, what happens in a web server farm Where should you start and stop your workflow runtime service In order to scale, it would seem that the Workflow runtime service would have to service all web servers in a web server farm.

• Visual Basic custom enumerator, com interop, and vb6 client

  Context: I have a legacy VB6 application that uses DAO and Jet. The owner of the company does not want to change any of the DAO code as we move into VB.Net, so I've been working on a set of VB wrappers to present an interface that looks just like DAO. The advantage to this is that we can subsequently replace the underlying DAO code in the wrappers with ADO.Net to use SQL Server in the future. The design: I have a set of abstract classes ...Show All

• .NET Development How to get 64-bit MIDL files to work right?

  I have an IDL file that I wrote that builds and runs fine.  Now, we have a requirement to make our server run on 64-bit.  According to the MIDL compiler docs: "Use the /env win64 switch to generate 64-bit stubs only. The default is to generate dual stubs that run on both platforms." However, I do not find that to be true.  If I specify /env win64, I get 64-bit stubs.  But, if I don't specify anything, I do not get dual stub ...Show All

• SQL Server Attach database from network drive

  Hello, when I attach an database from a network drive in SQL Express 2005 the access permissions on the data and log files will be change. This ends in a deadlock when the user doesn't have administrator right on the network server, because the permissions will allow access only for administrators and an unknown Usergroup on the network server. I think it's the SQLServer2005MSSQLUser$xxx$MSSQLSERVER group from the local server. Example ...Show All

• .NET Development Async sockets, receive callback problem

  Hi, I'm writing an async socket server that transport custom serialized objects. However, I ran into a problem when sending a lot of messages in a loop from the server to the client. To simplify matters I shortened my test code: Here I'm sending some data to the client... for ( int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { state.WorkSocket.BeginSend(b, 0, b.Length, SocketFlags.None, sendCallback, state); }   The client receives the data and processe ...Show All

• Visual C++ Print Preview Crashes

  When I click close button of CPrintPreview the application crashes. Before explaining what I have done, I find it noteworthy to mention that when application was launched from VC 6.0, no crash of application watsoever occured. But after migrating to VC.NET, I am encoutering this problem. and let me focus what I have done: I have derived a class from CPreviewPrint and call OnPreviewClose to close the print preview.
