• Windows Forms .NET 2.0 Winform Printing Issue

  I'm having an issue with a .NET 2.0 winforms application. The application runs in the taskbar, querying a webservice in five minute increments, and when the webservice returns data, it prints out that data in a certain format. This works fairly well for quite a while, until suddenly the application stops being able to print. Restarting the application tends to fix this issue, but that is not a valid fix for the client. Any suggestions Thanks! Yes, stopped as in nothing happens. It reports no errors, and gives no exceptions. Nor is there anything concerning it in the event log. When the five minute timer elapses again, the behavior is repeated. I did read on Google that Windows Services in .NET has is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Proxy authentication in MSBuilder scripts

  Hi! I have a proxy authentication problem when using MSBuilder to generate Sandcastle help files. When building the help files, Sandcastle accesses MSDN webservices which its not possible due to the proxy configuration in my company. I solved a similar problem with .NET applications by changing the machine.config to bypass local proxy, but this does not seem to work for MSBuilder. I could of course disable the MSDN acces in sandcastle.config, but I would like to have the MSDN links in my help file. Does anyone have a solution , thanks in advance! Best regards Torben Torben, There was a similar question about HTTP proxies on MSDN and I posted an answer to a similar question here - http://fo ...Show All

• Windows Forms KeyCode, KeyData, KeyValue... What's the difference?

  So the subjects says it all... Right now, I'm trying to set a method for when the user presses the 'Enter' key in a text box. Thus far, I'm thinking of putting it in the KeyDown event for the textbox. And my issue lies here. I can't decide/figure out how to go about doing so. There's a ton of ways, I know. I'm starting to get back into the whole programming thing, and this is something I can't seem to find anywhere. So, in deciding whether it was the 'Enter' key that was pressed, which would be best KeyCode, KeyData, or KeyValue And just to make sure... The main question here is the difference though... I can't seem to figure it out. They all kinda boild down to the same thing, right They're all for determining which key was pressed. An ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Polygon Circle outside map boundries

  I am currently implementing the ve api in such a way that we are plotting points on a map and drawing a circle (polygon) around that point on a map based on a provided radius. The point in question is in the Fiji Islands which would be on the rightmost part of the map (approx. Lat: -16.694078, Lon: 179.835205). The radius of the circle is large and there are points which lie outside the map boundaries. The circle gets plotted correctly which would be on both sides of the map. However, there are lines between the top and the bottom of each circle part and the outside of the circle is shaded in. I can't include an image in the post, so i have included a link here (yahoo for lack of a better place to put them): http://new.photos.yahoo.com/dad ...Show All

• .NET Development Varifying a valid Socket connection

• Visual C++ Linker bug? data_seg(".CRT$XIU") not merged into other .CRT segments

  Using the x64 cross-compiler running on x86, linker and cl.exe file version "8.00.50727.42 (RTM.050727-4200)", the following code that works in x86 with the x86 cl.exe and link fails: #pragma data_seg(".CRT$XIU") static int (*initptr)() = APreCppInitFunction; #pragma data_seg() The problem occurs because cl.exe seems to create the data_seg as a DATA segment type (in x86 it gets generated as CODE), and link.exe does not merge the .CRT$XIU segment into the correct alphabetized sequence among the other CRT code segments (.CRT$XIA, etc.). Here is a sample from the x64 mapping file that results: 0001:00000b28 00000008H .CRT$XIA CODE 0001:00000b28 00000008H .CRT$XIAA CODE 0001:00000b28 00000008H .CRT$XI ...Show All
