• .NET Development Can 1.1 and 2.0 framework coexist on the same box?

  I'm trying to get my legacy asp.net (1.1/C#) apps to play nice with future 2.0 development. I can get either the 1.1 stuff to run or the 2.0, but not at the same time.  If the 1.1 apps are working the 2.0 work returns errors that tell me that the frameworks are trying to use the same process and that this can't work. If the 2.0 app works then the 1.1 error out. I suspect that this is an IIS configuration issue, but being weak in iis I can't seem to find a solution. I was advised to look at the App Pool for the individual web apps on by server.  The 2.0 apps show as belonging to the 2.0 pool and the 1.1 apps go to the default pool (1.1 ).  The Application Name (Home Directory tab), is set to "Default Application" or is lef ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Image and memory leak

  Hi, I'm using the Image class in an application that uses a Frame and navigation to load new pages. In one of the pages, I use an Image with a Source attribute that looks like "http://blah.com/blah.jpg". When I load the next page, the old page never gets garbage collected, unless I remove the Image element. Why is that To avoid the memory leak, I created a class like this: public class NoLeakImage : System.Windows.Controls.Image { public NoLeakImage() { this.Unloaded += OnUnloaded; } private void OnUnloaded(object sender, EventArgs args) { this.Source = null; } } And use it instead. It avoids the leak. Lot's of gotchas with WPF... - Imad Just an update. The ...Show All

• Visual C++ Getting bug report support from Microsoft

  I have recently reported a private bug to Microsoft, a "C++ CodeDOM parser error: Internal Error", which blocks my efforts to continue component development for one of my components in C++/CLI. The bug was reported a week ago but has evidently not been reviewed by Microsoft. The bug is detailed at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=671820&SiteID=1 on this site. Is there a way to contact Microsoft directly so that I can have this bug looked at and so that I can get a workaround or fix which enables me to successfully complete and market my component Also, does anyone know whether file attachments added to public bug reports are downloadable by all users or only by Microsoft I made my bug report private beca ...Show All

• .NET Development How to Find Yesterday's date

  Hi, I have a need to find yesterday's date. A datasource our app needs requires us to FTP a file from a remote server to the location where it is processed. The naming convention used on the file is filename.Mddyyyy . (filename.8242006, for example). The filename is constant. The catch is the file is created at 10PM and not made available until 2AM, so just doing a straight ToString() on "today's" date won't work because it will always be the "next" day : string date; date = thisDate.ToString( "Mddyyyy" , DateTimeFormatInfo .InvariantInfo); We use the filename.Mddyyyy to tell our FTP service which file to download. I've got to use yesterday's date to FTP the correct file. Any idea how to do ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. When will the Content Pipeline be released?

  Can any XNA insider tell me the date the content pipeline released or when will the next version XNA GSE be released I think this would be a disaster for the content pipeline since everyone really interested in this will have to build it's own pipeline by then. I would say releasing it within weeks would be ok. But not releasing until christmas will make at least me to go back to my old 3D engine with all this implemented. Not managed in C++ and with all the other problems. But with a working pipeline. ...Show All

  Hi, how would I go about programmatically elevating my process (as in an 'elevate now' button) Also, how would I query if my process is running with full privileges or not Thanks, Relja The annoying thing is you can not programmatically elevate.

  I'm looking to stream dynamically generated WVX metafiles. For instance, the metafile would contain a playlist that does this: 1. plays a 30 second clip (commercial) 2. plays a selected movie The only way i have found to do this is to create individual metafiles for each movie. is there a way to send a variable such as movie location to link it to the file on the mms:// server Thanks, Jonathan Try posting your question here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/community/newsgroups/WindowsMedia/default.mspx dg=microsoft.public.windowsmedia.server&lang=en&cr=US ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to get win app to work using Microsoft.VisualStudio.SourceSafe.Interop.dll running on a computer without VSS installed

  Hello Im trying to run my win application that uses Microsoft.VisualStudio.SourceSafe.Interop.dll on a computer without VSS installed. First off, I got the "CLSID {783CD4E4-9D54-11CF-B8EE-00608CC9A71F}  failed". I got rid off this by running regsvr32 ssapi.dll (copied from the development computer).

To resolve this issue, run setup to repair your Visual SourceSafe installation." And an exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component. This occurs when i try to open the css database.
