• daydreamsy2k State stateinfo error.

  I am trying to use ManualResetEvent class. I took a sample from this post by Camoz: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=69213&SiteID=1 I get a compilation error on the last statement: State stateinfo . All references he is using are included in my file. I think they are also in the reference section of the object browser.

• LukeR_ XmlSerialize a System.Drawing.Font

  Hi, I haven't used the XmlSerializer with any built-in types before, so maybe this is a common restriction... But are System.Drawing types possible to serialize When I try to serialize any System.Drawing type, I get a runtime error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Drawing.XmlSerializers' I can't find any references to this assembly anywhere on the net. Is it something that hasn't been implemented in .NET yet.. Thanks, Jonas Jonas, You get this error because the type you're trying to serialize is not XmlSerializable (maybe some IDictionary is there or something like that).... so it won't be possible to serialize it as xml. The error message you receive is telling you that the frame ...Show All

• kminear SqlDependency object inside AppDomain

  I wrote a class which had a SqlDependency object inside. It can receive the notifications when the results changed for an associated SqlCommand object.   This class worked great when the class object was hosted by an application directly (default AppDomain).   However, if the class object was hosted by an AppDomain other than the default AppDomain, the object stopped receiving the data changing notification from SQL Server after five minutes.   (To make this class can be hosted by an AppDomain, I made it derived from MarshalByRefType class. Additionally, I renewed enough long the ILease object which controlled the lifetime policy of the object inside the AppDomain).   Any ideas on thi ...Show All

• Ronan Jordan axWebBrowser control accepting security certificates problem

• 2006 Who's using .Net?

  I am just starting using VB.Net and loving it. But can anyone point to an example of an application created using .Net It seems as if Microsoft doesn't make many apps with it. I am trying to show coworkers some examples. Thanks, Chris Sql Reporting Services for SQl Server is written in .Net. Sharepoint is .net. Some Microsoft products are written in .Net, but its true they don't advertise it.

• bes7252 problem in running 2 threads

  I have a function which connects to the server (it is a synchronous connection) and returns bool value based on whether the connection got successful or not. While connecting to the server I would like to show progress bar on the UI. I have used separate thread for connecting to the sserver and I showed the progress bar in the main thread. I am starting the progressbar once “connect button clicked” and I will stop the progressbar run after “connect to the server function” returns. Once the “Connect” button clicked I started the “ProgressBar” running and also I started the Thread for connection to the server. Since the connection to the server is synchronous the whole application got hanged while connecting. Even the progress bar running ...Show All

• Salman Maredia howto AppendPrivatePath in 2.0

  yet another migration question from me (I'm on a theme here). in 1.1 (in 2.0 too but with a compiler warning) I can append the private path of the default app domain using the AppendPrivatePath method. the 2.0 compiler compliains that I should use the private bin path of the appdomain setup info, but the problem with this is, that thats not accessible for the default app domain. I suppose the answer would be to specify that in the app config and I suppose thats what I'll end up doing (even though thats a lot of stuff I then have to change), but wanted to look stupid by asking if there was an alternative similar to AppendPrivatePath.
