• Visual C# PInvokeStackImbalance was detected

  Hi, I keep getting this error when I try to run my project from the IDE.This does not happen when running the exe. The details specify that the Stack Imbalance was detected in a third party dll which I am using. How can I fix this. Thanks, tribal A call to PInvoke function ThirdPartyDll!Namespace.ClassName.NativeMethods::ImageList_DrawEx' has unbalanced the stack. This is likely because the managed PInvoke signature does not match the unmanaged target signature. Check that the calling convention and parameters of the PInvoke signature match the target unmanaged signature. I encountered the same issue when trying to encorporate XPExplorerBar into one of my projects. It turned out that the vers ...Show All

• .NET Development Using remoting features inside a .NET applet loaded in a tag object

  First of all, is it possible usign .NET remoting feature inside a .NET applet loaded into a tag object inside an HTML page <OBJECT id="myID" height="150" width="300" classid="http:applet.dll#test.applet"> </OBJECT> If not please can anyone explain why I think yes and so I'd written a small example immediately I've met a problem. I'm using .NET Framework v. 1.1.4322 and it's the only version installed both client side and server side. My test applet is correctly loaded into IE client but when I try to setting programmatically the remoting I aways obtain a SecurityException even if the assembly is strong name signed and client side fully trusted.

• SQL Server How to attach network file when send email with msdb..sp_send_dbmail, thanks

  I need attach file on other server on the same network.

• Visual Studio Team System Best Practice for DB Versioning?

  Looking at the docs now and trying to figure out how we'd use this to handle DB's the regularly go through changes. Would this be one large project Many small ones What if we had different versions of stored procs, tables, functions, etc that we don't want to deploy until the framework is there to support those changes in the application I like what I've read so far and am pretty excited about the product. Just wondering how this should be handled to avoid trying to move changes into production when we're not ready for them yet and how we'd merge those changes together. On a similar note, what is the best way to handle major and minor version releases as far as the DB schema is concerned New projects SubProjects Built-in to the produ ...Show All

• Visual Basic Appointment Reminder Help

  First off, if this is in the wrong forum move it please. Ok, so... I am making a program that would help remind someone of an appointment. It has four basic objects - a DateTimePicker, a Button, a TextBox, and a CheckBox. I have set the DateTimePicker to a custom format of dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy -- hh:mm:ss tt. When the user sets the date and time and clicks the appropiately named "Add" button, it will add it to a list of appointments - the textboxes. Of course these probably aren't the best way to list them is it, but more on that later... When the system time reaches what is in the textbox it is supposed to alert them and give them maybe a couple of choices of dismissing it or moving it. The checkbox I haven't decided 100% on, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Studio crashes after selecting "Add Existing Item..."

  In Solution Explorer, I right click project, select Add, then Existing Item... The IDE immediately exits (crashes).

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Does Downloader allow cross domain calls?

  I'm developing a WPF/E application and I'm trying to download content using the Downloader object. While this works when the url property points to a relative path the downloader fails (no event is ever fired) when the uri points to another site/domain. Is there a security restriction preventing cross domain downloader calls Wouldn't be usefull an onError event on the downloader were you could retreive information on why your request failed Thanks "One other thing to observe in the sample... the sample makes requests to the Flickr service directly without going through a server-side proxy. To make these cross-domain calls successfully, It uses <script> tags rather than XMLHttp to work against Flickr, and uses the JSONP supp ...Show All

• .NET Development Connection Pooling not working

  I have a form that has a number of database calls. It does these sequentially. In some cases it's not possible (due to archetecture more than anything) to make these calls all on the same connection. However it does open then close the connection. (all connections created are in using statements) What I'm seeing is that we're getting a timeout when the 100 connection limit is hit. Looking at Activity Monitor I can see these connections growing and growing over time in the activity monitor the more windows you open and close even though these connections are closed. (and they all use exactly the same connection string) data source=(Local);initial catalog=Evolution;password=dyknalna;user id=EvolutionUser;Connection Timeout=20; I read ...Show All

• .NET Development Clickonce installer?

  Is there any way to compile a program in C# Express Edition that would use the windows installer instead Or better yet, allow me to create just an exe for a console program It seems odd that my users should need to install a program that is just a simple console program and I hate having to zip up all of the additional setup files with the exe. There are setup/deployment project options included with Visual Studio, but they are only available in the the standard edition or higher. If you are using the express edition, you might want to consider a solution such as WiX ( http://wix.sourceforge.net ) to create a simple MSI-based setup for your application. Thanks!

• Visual Studio Team System Had to use Mercury Loadrunner to capture certain HTTP Requests

  While recording scripts, certain pop up screens weren't captured by Visual Studio. Hence ran Mercury Load runner and captured the corresponding HTTP request. Copied nad pasted that HTTP request in the appropriate section of the Visual studio Web test. On playback, instead of displaying the corresponding web browser, the code was displayed. - <P2PApprover> <RequiresP2PApproval>True</RequiresP2PApproval> </P2PApprover> You could also use a tool called fiddler for trying to record requests missed by the VS recorder. www.fiddlertool.com . This tool has an option for generating a webtest file. The web browser in the playback UI is displaying the result of th ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Specifying privilege level for dynamically loaded assemblies.

  I have an EXE application and its assembly manifest has requestedExecutionLevel set to "asInvoker". This exe loads a managed DLL, which performs File IO operations in the ProgramFiles folder. I have created a assembly manifest for this DLL and set the requestedExecutionLevel to "requireAdministrator". So my assumption is that when this DLL is loaded by the EXE and the code to perform file IO executes, Vista's UAC should present the user with an elevation prompt. But this does not happen and the file IO fails. Any suggestions Am I missing something fundamental Is it possible to have a dynamically loaded assembly to perform file IO without having to change the privilege associated with the EXE Thanks & Regards, Vi ...Show All
