• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Message and Trace logging rollover

  I'm interested in using the message and trace logging functionality built into the WCF framework. Does anyone know how to configure it so the log file can rollover on a daily basis in a way similar to logging on an IIS web site Tracing in WCF is built upon the trace listening facilities in System.Diagnostics; there are a couple of rolling file trace listeners available on the web that could be used for your intended purpose. Here is one example: http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/erwyn/articles/rolling_file_trace_listener.aspx . Dave ...Show All

• Visual C++ ctime/time.h

  Hi, I'm new to C++, but am writing my current project in C++ using VS2005. I want to use the POSIX clock_gettime function, like this: #include "time.h" void foo( void ) { timespec curr_time; clock_gettime(CLOCK_REALTIME, &curr_time); } This fails, not recognizing timespec, or clock_gettime, or CLOCK_REALTIME, even though the same code will compile fine using another development tool/compiler. As an alternative I tried: #include "time.h" void foo( void ) { time_t = time(NULL); } but this produced a linker error. How is it possible that gettin the current time is this hard If someone can help me I would really appreciate it. The POSIX option is my top choice and the time_ ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies ADM File for WDS 3.01 not Working

  Hi, I have run the installer, copied the extracted folder and located the desktopsearch30.adm file. When I import this into GPMT I cannot locate any of the settings within the User Configuration area.

I have imported the MSN Search Toolbar ADM without any problems and straight away the settings were viewable. Am I missing something, has anybody seen this before Regards Ben I have worked out how to exclude certain paths via GPO. The problem wasn't so much that the template wasn't there for excluding paths, but what the syntax should be. Anyhow, just been fiddling for an hour and got these keys in ...Show All

• Visual Basic BindingSource AddNew Contraint BUG?

  This is my problem. I have a table in Access "ASV Letter" in which the field "Number" is the primary key. I connect to that DataBase with a DataSet. I have a button to add a letter. It opens a DialogForm where the user types the values of the new field. If he tries a value that was already used, it trips an error as expected. But.... If he gives a new letter and immediately after try again with the same number, no exception at all are raised! If he clicks the button again, the addNew method fires an exception (dbNull not allowed in the field). I really cannot uderstand why. Any one could help EndEdit() just ends the current edit operation on the current row in the binding source.  This e ...Show All

• .NET Development Appending text to a file using streamwriter

  I'm just full of questions lately as I've abandoned my lengthy Windows boycot because no one wants FORTRAN code outside of the academy anymore ;). Anyways, I can't figure out how to use the streamwriter to append text to a file in VS C++ 2005 express.

• Visual C# System.Threading.Threadstart question...

  Im not sure that this is the correct forum for this but it was the closest that I could find for this particular question. I apologize in advance if this is a newbie question. Im still getting my feet wet in the .Net environment. I wrote a windows service today ( a particularly easy task now with VS 2005 ) and I used a thread to do the work in the service. things work fine when the method that I use in the ThreadStart creation doesnt take any paramaters, but I couldnt figure a way to use a method that takes a paramater. I tried aThread = new Thread ( new ThreadStart (<class> .method(arg))); aThread = new Thread ( new ThreadStart (<class> .method)); But both of those lines would give me compiler errors.
