• .NET Development Dataset Thread-Safety

  I have a vb .net multi-threaded application with several datasets that are read/written to from a couple threads.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Program produces different results on different computers

  Hi all, I wrote a program about six months ago and uploaded it to a site. What the program does is read a text file and puts the results into a database. Obviously the program works ok on my system & I know it works ok on other users systems but I've had 2 reports of the program not working as it should on other systems that are using the same OS as me ( windows XP service pack 2 ) . I told one user to download the latest visual basic runtime files which he did and still there is no difference, I also got him to send me his text file which I tried on my system & it worked ok. The visual basic file he downloaded is ; Visual_Basic_6.0_-VB6-_runtime_SP5.exe I'm no expert on VB, far from it but this sounds really strange ...Show All
