• Visual C# PInvokeStackImbalance was detected

  Hi, I keep getting this error when I try to run my project from the IDE.This does not happen when running the exe. The details specify that the Stack Imbalance was detected in a third party dll which I am using. How can I fix this. Thanks, tribal A call to PInvoke function ThirdPartyDll!Namespace.ClassName.NativeMethods::ImageList_DrawEx' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature. It's because a Managed Debugging Assistant has detected an error. Since the error is in a third party dll you have to talk ...Show All

• Visual C# windows service receiving message from database

  I am trying to replicate data between sybase and sql server tables, I created a service to polling the tables in one side to see if there is new data, and replicate it if there is.

Your suggestion works if I replicate data between two sql server 2005 database.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio MEMORY LEAK?

  Hi all! I'm using Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback.Audio to play mp3's using the following code: if (audioPlayer != null ) { audioPlayer.Dispose(); } audioPlayer = null ; audioPlayer = Microsoft.DirectX.AudioVideoPlayback. Audio .FromFile(fileToPlay, false ); audioPlayer.Ending += new EventHandler (audioPlayer_Ending); audioPlayer.CurrentPosition = 0; audioPlayer.Play(); So far, so good. When the mp3 ends, this code runs again. I read somewhere that you must dispose() this object due to some known memory leak issue. So as you can see above, it disposes before playing the next file. The problem is, both the Mem Usage as well as the VM Size keep growing and growing (up to ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to Access HTTP Endpoints from C# application when using Integrated security

  I hope you can help me to solve my issue. I created an endpoint and have an application to consume the methods from endpoint. Every thing work fine when i use the Impersonation with specific user id and password. In other words i am using Authrentication method = windows and Impersonate = true, user id = "[DOMAIN\userid]" password = "password" in web.config. But this is not the way i want to use endpoints in my application. I want to make it work without any user id and password in Impersonate section of web.config. The end points must be accessible to user using their own credentials. By the way i am using Authentication = (Integrated) in Endpoint definition and the same in IIS.

• .NET Development C# with Oracle

  The location im currently working at is a cancer research centre in Canada. They use a large Oracle database for their data; however new software is coming into use here, and it is required that we are able to use SQL Server 2005. In doing this, we will need to have access to the Oracle database and the SQL database through C#. I know it can be done for SQL; but im curious if anyone knows anything about C# connectivity and data pulling from a Oracle database. Does anyone have any web resources in which we can use to help learn how to implement this. Thank you. Not sure why you do not have an answer yet...probably the potential size of the answer that may be required. The short answer is yes, no problem ...Show All

  Hi expert, i am a user of VS 2005 standard ed. Is it possible for me to develop a hanphone application that can send SMS using VS 2005 if yes, then how can i do that and how can i install my application into the handphone Hope all the expert out there can help me on this....thanks in advance. you would need to install the Windows Mobile SDK's for PPC or smartphone (depending on the mobile device) and then create a new PPC/smartphone application project. The software can only be ran on a Windows powered mobile device. As well as this, the device needs to have the appropriate version of .NET CF (compact framework) on their device, maybe in this case .NET CF 2.0, to run the application.

• .NET Development dll form behaving like an MDI Child form.

  Hi all, Just wondering if there's a quick and easy way of doing this In VB 6, we use API call to made the dll form to behave like a child form of an MDI application. Do any one know of a way to do this in VB .NET I use reflection to call my dll which bring out a form. But this form behave like another separate entity. I want it to behave like a child form to the MDI application i called from. Seems like there's a way to do this in Delphi by passing in Application.Handle to the dll form. Just need some insight. Thanks for reading this far. Dan I had no trouble doing this, but didn't use reflection. Load your Windows Forms project, File + Add, New Project, pick the Windows Control library template.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Ready, Steady, Hang on a minute.

• SQL Server Execute Process Task using StandardInputVariable

  Greetings! I am using a Excute Process Task calling a selfwritten EXE and I'm trying to pass a command line argument to it. The code for the EXE is quit simple: Public Sub Main() Try Dim info As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs.Item(0) MessageBox.Show("Info:" & info) Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString) End Try End Sub According to the help files there are two ways to pass an argument, using the property Arguments, which I guess is for hard-coded stuff, and the StandardInputVariable for passing dynamic info. When I use the Arguments property everything works fine. I get the info messagebox with correct data. But when I leave that blank and instead use the StandardInputVariable proper ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE7 Start up problem

  Hi, I am having problems starting IE7. When I start IE7 it hangs for ages, maybe a few minutes before starting then everything runs OK. I don't think IE7 is the problem because when I start my network connection (tiscali broadband) explorer hangs too and nothing will run until it clears itself, several minutes later. When I boot Windows (XPSP2) iexplorer.exe runs at boot and tries to connect to the internet but I have no applications that call this program at startup, (except maybe McAfee and JavaSun scheduler). I have checked the registry and it seems clear (as far as I can see!) I have tried running McAfee and AdAware but they dont find anything. Have even tried a rootkit analyser but it also says nothing amiss. It is as if a ...Show All

• SQL Server Pie chart image distortion

  I have created an aspx page with a report in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express using the report viewer control add-in.  I have also created a report in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.  In both when viewing the report in the web page the pie chart included in each report is distorted - it's still readable but it's sloppy looking.  It is obvious to me that the pie chart is an image but I have not found a way to eliminate the distortion through any of the properties.  Any clues   Thanks in advance. The only thing I could find to do was to change the resolution of my laptop to a custom setting. I think the distortion occurred because my laptop has one of those new widescreens. ...Show All
