• .NET Development .NET remoting general

  Hi, I am new to .NET remoting. I need to have a feature where everytime there's an update, the server will push the update to the clients (win form application). Can I do this with .NET remoting Any helpful links or tutorial will be appreciated. Devi Hi Sundar, Thank you for the reply. If I am not wrong, I think the App Updater Block is very similar to ClickOnce feature that is available with Visual Studio 2005. Your solution might not work for my requirements. If there is an update we want all the clients to get the update right away, we need them to run the same software, same resources all the time. We are not sure if the app will be re-launch everyday, the user might keep the computer on for a whil ...Show All

When someone clicks on it, I would like the larger image to display in a PictureBox on my form. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me, as I have not been able to get any of this to work... Thanks, i believe picturebox4_Click signature should be.... instead of PaintEventArgs, try EventArgs in regards for placing the other line of code I posted earlier, place that when the user clicks on the control when you wish to enlarge that picture and show it into the picturebox control :-) Either on a button click such as "enlarge image" or some other picturebox control where you are display ...Show All

• Visual Basic Need help with collision and...

  Need help with collision and optimizing the space of an shape when filling it with a bunch of smaller shapes. I got a shape that loos like this and I need to fill that with as many smaller rectangled shapes that I possibly can. So what I first need to do is figure out how to make it check so that the objects are not colliding with eachother or that they are outside the main shape. Then I need to figure out how to maximize the placement so I don't get a lot of blank space. So it might have to flip the rectangled shapes 90 degrees etc. So... my question is.. how do I detect the collision I guess that could be solved like people do with game collision And my second question is for the auto optimizing.. anyone got a clue where to start thinki ...Show All

• SQL Server Can't enable queue

• SQL Server Running sp_blocker_pss80 under SQL2005 and SQL 2000 shows many spids have non zero waittype under 2005

  I was trying to test sp_blocker_pss80 (and SHERLOCK) on an SQL 2005 system and noticed that it gave much more output than on an SQL 2000 system . This was because the waittypes of many spids were not zero while under SQL 2000 the same ones were zero. Why is that For instance here is the subset of the query which is part of the sp_blocker_pss80 run on an sql2005 and sql2000 respectively select spid, status, blocked, open_tran, waittype, waittime, cmd, lastwaittype from master..sysprocesses SQL 2005 spid status blocked open_tran waittype waittime cmd lastwaittype ------ ------------------------------ ------- --------- -------- -------------------- ---------------- -------------------------------- 1 background ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Inspector Commandbars

  I have a toolbar class -- actually, a wrapper class that includes an Office.CommandBar member. If you open an inspector, say to a random item in your inbox, and then you start scrolling through the next item/previous item buttons, each selection fires the Inspectors_NewInspector() event. However, the Inspector.Close() event for the previously viewed item's inspector does not fire -- at least not until you exit Outlook. So, is each new inspector "new" or not If I treat the inspectors as truly new, and create a new toolbar, then the toolbars start to accumulate on the inspector. In other words, it may be a new inspector, but it seems to have the old toolbar in its collection. So I wrote code to loop through the new inspec ...Show All
