• Software Development for Windows Vista Major Problem - VISTA RTM / P5WD2-Premium / ICH7R SATA RAID

  I have tried loading the x32 RTM version of Vista on my P5WD2-Premium with absolutely no luck. I have tried many different ICH7R SATA RAID drivers including the one that comes on the OS DVD. The OS installs but, upon first reboot, the RAID array becomes corrupt and will no longer boot (solid HD light). I have tried RAID0 and 1. Both have the same results. Anyone else seen this issue If so, is there a solution Thanks, Frank Hello ftlee, The MSDN forums are geared more towards developers, I would suggest posting your question over in the TechNet Hardware forums here http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=714&SiteID=17 as it is more of a technical conf ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Service Problem on 2000 Server

  I have a windows service written in C# on .net 2.0. When it starts it first checks some keys in the registry to make sure they are there. If they are not there it displays a small window to the user to enter them. In the service configuration I have set the Allow Service To Interact With The Desktop. This program works fine on 2003 Server and Windows XP but I cannot get it to work on 2000 Server. It seems it cannot read the registry and is getting stuck somewhere. Does anyknow know if any problems like this on 2000 Server Thanks In Advance.

• Visual Basic Add permissions to exe

  I want to add permissions to an vb.net exe. I don't want them in a separate file. What i want is for a user to click on a link in there browser, select run, and have the program run, instead of saying don't have permissions to display window. and no i don't want to use click once, its buggy, and don't work in firefox by default. Just in case check the security settings. Add the site you are trying to run the app from to your 'Trusted Sites' and see if that makes a differences. Also, consider any firewal applications you have installed on the machine. It seems to me that unless you added Code Access Security(CAS) to your application that it is not running at all.

• .NET Development Access Violation when doing BeginReceive on a UdpClient

  I'm attaching some code below which demonstrate my troubles. In short, I get an Access Violation thrown when doing BeginReceive after trying to Send() data to a port thats not listening (using UDP). My observations this far: Add a Sleep() between the Send() and BeginReceive(), and you get a SocketException thrown at BeginReceive() instead of the Access Violation Send to localhost, or a host on the same lan (or close, in terms of hops), and you get a SocketException Send to a box on the internet, on a port thats not being listened on, and it'll throw an Access Violation most (90%) of the times tried The Sleep() related observation somewhat gives me the impression that this is related to a race condition. Some overlapped op ...Show All

• Windows Forms Folder Browser Dialog -- Disk Error

  When using the folder browser dialog, how do you trap or prevent the "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive ..." dialog. This is happening for disk which the system has identified as removable media. Excel doesn't experience this problem, I believe I should be able to achieve the same level of performance. Hello All. RoadGlide: You mention thread timing issues.

• .NET Development Problem sharing custom data types across web services

  Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble sharing some user defined objects across multiple web services. FYI I'm using visual studio team system, and adding my web services using the application designer, so most of the web service code is auto generated. Alright, this is the situation. I have a class library in which my custom data types are defined, lets say the namespace for this class library is clibrary, and there is a class representing a custom object within this library called CustomObject. I also have two web services, service 1 and service 2, with different namespaces ws1 for service1 and ws2 for service2. Both web services have a reference to the library containing my custom object.

• Windows Forms Event-based Asynchronous Pattern: exceptions re-thrown loose stack trace?

  Hi. When you use the Event-based Asynchronous Pattern , you have a background thread that can use one AsyncOperation objet to post messages to the calling thread (UI thread in most cases). While posting a progress message may never be a problem, you may also post some more important messages to the calling thread. In that case the calling thread may throw an exception telling he couldn't handle the message. Someone must catch these exceptions. So when the calling thread throws an exception, I let the backgournd thread get notified of it, so that he can stop if necessary. In my case I have a "async inside" object that hides the async mode. It has a ShowModal() function that displays a progress form. This function exits when the pro ...Show All
