• .NET Development DNS.GetHostEntry doesn't display the hostname as dns.resolve did

  In a small console application I used DNS.resolve to obtain either the IP-address(es) or hostname depending on the parameter passed (computername or IP address). I've rewrited the little thing in Visual Studio 2005 and so I saw that I needed to use dns.GetHostEntry instead of dns.resolve because the last method has become obsolete. So I did. But when executing the code the behavior is somewhat different: dns.gethostentry doesn't retrieve the hostname if you pass an IP address, were dns.resolve has no problem in showing me the hostname found. Is this a known issue Is there a workarround or solution ...Show All

• .NET Development Delayed send with smtpclient in .net 2.0

  Is there any way to force the smtpclient to send mail immediately with the .send method in system.net.mail 2.0 Right now it takes anywhere from 90 secods to two minutes before the mail is actually sent once the .send method executes. I've tried setting the object to nothing immediately after the .send method call, but no luck. The real issue for me is the send delay is also causing the smtpclient  to hold a lock on attached files that are being sent for that same 90 seconds to two minutes. I need to move the file immediately after emailing it, and right I get an exception telling me two processes can't access the file at the same time ...Show All

• SQL Server ReportServer giving me a 404????

  I uninstalled sql 2000 from one of my boxes after having problems running sql 2005 along side it.. I actually uninstalled both versions and deleted all the folder in the MS SQL Server folder within program files.

Of course reporting services is the one that is giving me trouble. I am running of windows server 2003 enterprise and of course everything else I am supposed to have. Problem: If I attempt to browse the reports directory it works fine...at least the page doe ...Show All

• Visual C# sql connection

  I haved installed SQL Servver 2005. I am trying to make a connection to it in VS.NET. I get a error that says "Can notr make a connection to sql server. This may be due to the fact you have remote connections turned off. I change this settings and still have the same problem. Do you know why Cisco I got exact same error, and remote connections were enabled for my server too. This error message was a bit misleading, what actually happened in my case was I had installed SQL Server 2005 on a named instance e.g. mysvr\dev01 and in connection string I used only mysvr.

• Visual Basic Old Question about Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture

  I think it's an old question and asked before. But I can't found any reference. Sorry if you need to re-answer again. Here is my problem: Right now my system is using English (United States) regional setting which the datetime format is MM/dd/yyyy. I want my application displayed in display in Indonesian format "dd/MM/yyyy" without changing user's regional setting. So I did the below programmatically: Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = = New CultureInfo("id-ID") When I debug, I found  Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture is already "id-ID" like what I want. But my form which contained of datetimepicker, c ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bug in DataGridView or example by Mark Rideout

  Mark, Thanks for your samples at http://www.windowsforms.net/TrackViews.aspx ID=220&Type=Samples&Redir=%2fSamples%2fdownload.aspx%3fPageId%3d1%26ItemId%3d220%26tabindex%3d4 . Your sample on Virtual Mode crashes. Just start it, click in the new row, type something, hit escape twice, and then maybe you have to type again. I saw another post where you state that there is a bug inDataGridView associated with the user hitting Escape twice. How about working around the bug in your sample Or is this a different bug, since it has nothing to do with the first column being hidden (which it is not) For the record, I am having a very d ...Show All

  If I created a webmethod that returns a dataset, will only a .net consumer be able to use it Are you returning the DataSet object, or the XML from a dataset If you are going to interoperability, then I would recommend returning the XML from the dataset. Inside of the .NET call, you can convert the XML back into a DataSet object and use it natively to .NET. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do WWF support access control / security

  I have read a book of WWF beta (sams). As far as i can remember security was not mentioned once Why is this. Is there other technologies that will handle this on behalf of the WF engine Is it supposed to be the application that handles all security issues or the SQL server I'm used to AD and LDAP and my view is that the workflow objects could be expressed as ldap objects supporting security by the objects themselves. In this way the workflow would protect itself to intrusion thru ldap object security instead of protecting the application og SQL database (as with OLAP cubes supporting embedded security).

• .NET Development Warning related to size_t

  I am trying to port an application from 32-bit to 64-bit windows environment. While compiling i get a lot of warnings related to "size_t" .
