• Zero_ IIS on Windows Xp Home

  hi,   can any one help me out in installing IIS on Windows XP home edition, I tried a lot but was unable to do so. thanx         Sorry, but you cannot. It is not possible to install IIS on XP Home. But you could install Cassini web server. (Look at the gotdotnet website). In VS 2005 you can develop websites/services without the need for IIS. Why do you and some others say that when so many have succeeded After all Windows XP Home is just a crippled version of Windows XP Pro. I installed IIS 5.0 on Windows XP Home using information I gathered from several sources on the internet. It is running fine so far. ------------------------------------------------------------ BTW, t ...Show All

• gauls Objects and Structs - whats the efficiency different.

  Hi all, I know alot depends on exactly what properties are contained in the types, but is it more efficient to use structs where nessecary (I'm programming on a mobile device). Thanks Tryst wrote: But if I have a Class that is purely containing value types (ints), then it would be best to have this as a struct wouldn't it As with most things in software design/implementation: it depends. From a purely performance point of view, using a struct will force boxing and unboxing, regardless of what is in the struct. A class of only ints won't be be boxed and won't be passed "by value" as an argument to a method. If you're thinking of doing anything recursive or using it often as a method parameter, I would sugge ...Show All

• Hsoros Thread.CurrentPrincipal -v- HttpContext.Current.User

  I have a .Net 2.0 web-service used by a WinForms app, with IIS set to Windows Authentication and anonymous access turned off. Within the web-method, I wish to retrieve the Windows login of the calling user. I've saw different articles suggest different ways to do this. Some say Thread.CurrentPrincipal, others say HttpContext.Current.User. Is there any difference, or do these reference the same principal object I'm accessing Thread .CurrentPrincipal.Identity.Name and HttpContext .Current.User.Identity.Name Also, if IIS has the web-service set to Windows Authentication, and anonymous access turned off, but the web.config doesn't have <authentication mode="Windows" />, what difference will that make Thanks, An ...Show All

• Warren13 Server connection timeout

  Hi guys, I am using the code below to connect to a server. This works fine on all the machines I have ever tried to connect to but a new server has recently been added on which it seems to timeout randomly. It would normally take 8secs to connect & retrieve information from a server but this takes 2 minutes on those random occasions. I believe that it may be the server timing out & responding a bit late as it might be busy or something.How could I possibly work around this and find out what is wrong I am using a third party SSH library to connect. I would appreciate any help StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder(); //SSH connection from 3rd party library (SSH2) //SSH Reader from 3rd party Socket s = new ...Show All

• Xcel Always inherit from MarshalByRefObject?

  When using .NET remoting, it's obvious you must have some way of passing object values and refrerences to the remote server; but should you apply one of these practices always as a matter of course public class Password : MarshalByRefObject { ... } [ Serializable ()] public class Password { ... } I have noticed that the .NET framework inherits most (if not all) of it's objects from MarshallByRefObject. I seem to find myself now doing the same. Also, when is it best to use Serializable() instead of MarshallByRefObject I'm curious about this as well. DispatcherObject, hence DependencyObject, hence UIElement, hence almost none of the WPF components inherit from MarshalByRefObjec ...Show All

  I have a directory on a Windows server that is also a NFS share (with Services for Unix). I created a FileSystemWatcher and configured for the .Created event.

• PravinD Exchanging binary serialized objects

  I have two (different) applications that need to share data between themselves. For this purpose they both talk to a database, and that works fine for most of the data. However there is some data that needs to be shipped back and forth as a collection of custom objects. To that end, I tried to serialize the collection using a BinaryFormatter. The problem comes when the other application tries to deserialize the package. Apparently the formatter tags the serialized objects with the originating assembly name, namespace, and version number. When the recieving application opens up the package, it tries to map that data to it's own assembly name, namespace, and version number and fails. Is there a way to avoid this and get the collection ...Show All
