• GAtkins How to see the strong name of an assembly not in the GAC?

The only difference in their strong name is the processorArchitecture . How do I find out if assembly ...Show All

• Ben Santiago halt a databind in progress?

  I have a very large query, and I'd like to present the user with per-page results. I have no interest in using the datagrid to do this, and have written my own paging object. For various reasons I want to halt a databinding operation once a certain condition is met. I do NOT want to use e.Item.Visible = false; which solves only the display problem and yet iterates unecessarily when really what I want the code to do is "stop binding, and exit gracefully". Ideally I could use the SqlDataReader object and set some sort of bounds (which it doesnt currently have) that could tell it to "jump to record X, and close out at Y records". This should not be confused with the SqlDataAdapters ability to fill within bounds ...Show All

• ahmed921983 .net windows service application architecture

  Hi, I need to develop an application which performs a data transfer one data base to another. I can not use DTS as a solution due to the complex requiremtns of the application. This application needs to run every 30 secs. So I decided to go for windows service. I am new to windows serivces and multithreading. I have developed an application design and would like to get feed back on it. General over view of the design : Application contains the following classes - AccountCreationDTS (WInService class), DTSTimer, DTSController, DTSREquestBin and DTS. AccountCreationDTS.OnStart() starts the DTSTimer. DTSTimer._onTimeElapsed() invokes DTSController.startTask() which initiates a DTS. The code for all the classes is given below : ...Show All

• Jorne custom plugin questions!

  Hi there. I have no idea but had a sudden urge to ask about things like this, I guess its good for the knowledge! I have an app created in .NET 1.1 I *may* wish to implement plugin's with the application, so developers can create their own plugin's for the application. Question 1) If a plugin was created in .NET 2.0, will it still work with the .NET 1.1 application (obviously assuming they have both frameworks installed) Question 2) How would one go about creating plugin's for their application Question 3) Is it possible for this plugin to implement/"subscribe" to public events exposed by my application, so when I raise an event, any of the plugin's who have a subscription to the event, is notified Th ...Show All

• FarReachJason Configuration Manager

  Hello All. Alright, let me start with just a little background.  I'm working on a Windows Forms client application, and in order to make it a single-instance application, I've got a named Mutex, which I naturally want to encrypt to prevent a DoS attack from any assorted twerps. Now, for whatever reason, the folks at MS don't seem to see the need for a tool like aspnet_regiis.exe for client apps, so already this has gone from trivial to tedious.  So, I worked up a little code to encrypt the config section in question, and I kept getting null reference exceptions.  Well, I backed up a bit and the problem seems to be referencing the "appname.exe.config" file.  Here's my code: using System; using System.Collec ...Show All

• Ayooya Interop troubles with excel

  I asked this in the VB forum, but think it is more suited here. My application (VS2005) uses the interop assembly 11.0 to communicate with excel. 11.0 is the version for excel 2003. When I put the application on a client machine, it's fine provided the user has excel 2003 and either the PIAs are installed, or I distribute the dlls with my application. However, I've just tried this on a machine with O2007 and it's not working. I have installed the O2007PIAs on the client machine. Any ideas I assumed the O2007PIAs would be compatable with O2003...

• Ross Watson The new configuration design in 2.0

  Elsewhere I wrote, regarding putting an XmlDocument into the config file "surely, if anything, this ought to be easier than de/serializinging a binary object into XML and then saving it". I've read more and am pretty much concluding that in spite of the fact that this seems to make sense, the reality is the precise opposite - instead of being simple, it's actually impossible to directly place an XmlDocument/XmlNode into the config file. Which brings up a much larger question for the community at large regarding the design for this configuration stuff. Isn't all of this solely for the purpose of putting some arbitrary XML into app.config under a given application name And doesn't the framework already have great facilities for producing XM ...Show All

• gudel Detecting remove lock event on file

  I have the following problem: We have to write an application that acts on changes on files. For example editing a word - file. We achieve this using the FileSystemWatcher from .NET 2.0.  When the word-file is saved the events correctly trigger, but the files are locked, which causes our action to fail, but this is not the problem. But when the user closes the word-application.
