• .NET Development Chat Client/Server

  Ok. I grabbed a chat application off the internet. The problem is, i can only connect to other computers on my LAN. What I am trying to accomplish is connecting with a person maybe in another state. Can someone help me or point me in the right direction Yes of course I believe I have been working on my distributed network application for so long that I forget that a Lightweight server is not really that big of a deal, though if your server is behind a router that acts as a firewall you will still need to enable port forwarding. Also I should point out that your server does not necessarily have to be written in the same language as your clients, as I personally write all of my servers in C so that they are as fast as possible.

• Visual C# How to Get One Millisecond Timer?

  Currently I am working on a Signal Graph control. The control will draw the signal state (ON or OFF) for selected device or IO point. I need a Timer that tick every 1 millisecond to scan the signal state because signal state change too fast (ON and OFF). I had tried all the 3 timers provided in .NET Framework, which are System.Timers , System.Threading.Timer and System.Windows.Form.Timer . However, I failed to get a timer that can tick in 1 millisecond. All of them had a delay between first tick and second tick: System.Timers : delay about 15ms System.Threading.Timer : delay about 15ms System.Windows.Form.Timer : delay about 60ms The delay cause me missed some of the signal state. Is there any other way to get ...Show All

• Visual C++ Operator == implementation for user-defined ref class

  In my own ref class I implement a static operator == which takes my ref class as the first parameter type and my ref class as the second parameter type, in order to override reference equality. This works correctly as expected. Now if I implement another operator == which takes my ref class as the first parameter type and a different ref class as the second parameter type, this works correctly except when specifying 'if (myrefclass == nullptr)' in the code. At that point the compiler gives me an error complaining about ambiguity between the two operator == I have implemented for my ref class. Naturally I want only one of the operator == to handle this case, preferable the first of the two. Short of the ugly casting of the nullptr to a ref ...Show All

• Windows Forms Clickonce and MSBuild

  Hey All, I was trying to deploy clickonce with a team foundation build to a dedicated publish server. At first I ignored the signfile task, and the build deployed the two manifest files to where I want them to be.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Updating custom control

  I am working on an WPF media player control (for various reasons I cannot use MediaControl). I have the video up and running now, but I am in doubt if I am doing the right thing when it comes to updating the control. Currently I am calling InvalidateVisual on the control and then doing the drawing in OnRender, but I seem to remember that invalidate is very expensive. So, how should it be done Thanks for the help, Tom Mulcahy :) You are right, when I have MPEG2 hardware I should be able of streaming the video internally without too much work for the CPU, had forgot that MPEG2 is easily streamable. ...Show All
