• Visual C# Two way Communication between exe and dll

  How could i acheive two way communication between the exe and my dll (without adding reference of each other in both ) thanks use system.diagnostics namespace Process class to execute your exe from the dll., To instantiate your dll(assembly) from the exe, if you do not want to refer this dll in your app, you can dynamically invoke this assembly by using the Assembly class LoadFrom method. Then you can use reflection to invoke the methods mecspek ...Show All

• SQL Server SRS Performance Problem

  I have a performance problem with Reporting Services that I can't seem to get around. I have a stored proc based report that takes about 20 minutes to run. Even executing just the stored proc on the Data tab within Visual Studio takes 20 minutes. When I run the same stored proc that the report is based on in SQL Management Studio, the proc takes about 25 seconds to complete and returns 1 row (with minimal data). When I view the stored proc running from Management Studio vs. Report Server in Profiler I can see that the same exact command is being executed with the same parameter values. The only difference is that Management Studio runs a SQL Batch while Report Server is making an RPC call. I am lost as to why there is such a big d ...Show All

  Hi all, I want to record audio output, mean the audio stream from the speacker not the mic. For example I start Media Player and then record it's output.

Note that not all cards can reroute the stereo mix to the recording unit, but many do... ...Show All

• Visual C# foreach without Type

  Hello, I have a collection and I want to iterate all elements in it. Example: string [] arr = new string [] { "A" , "B" , "C" }; foreach ( string s in arr) Console .WriteLine(s); in the example the element type is string, because the collection is array of strings. is there a way to do the same as foreach does, but without declaring the type. something like: foreach ( s in arr) Console .WriteLine(s); some how make the compiler know that the type is the collection's element type. Thanks. Ori N wrote: yes, I've heard something about the var stuff. Currently my application is deployed with .net framework 2.00, and it is not going to change for a w ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET 3.0 breaks printing subsystem on non-english XP / VERY ugly effects

  After installing .NET 3.0 on non-english XP two things will break parts of the printing subsystem: - parts of XPS are installed in English, i.e. unidrv.dll / unidrvui.dll / unires.dll etc. are non-localized As a consequence Printing dialogs of all unidrv.dll-based printer drivers show mixed output localized/english. And the default Input Tray is set to 'Automatically Select' even on a german XP which leads to strange effects like printers suddenly asking for paper in the Manual Tray instead of using Tray 1 as usual. - unidrv.dll / unidrvui.dll / unires.dll etc. are Windows Vista DLLs and incompatible with many XP Printer Drivers As a consequence some printer drivers will print all pages of multi-page documents on one sheet, all ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge replication foreign key problem

  Hi there. I'm somewhat new to merge replication, and I've been having an issue with one of the scenarios that I've been trying to get working. I am using SQL 2005 on the server, with 2005 express on the client. I have 2 tables: Photo - which has a PhotoID primary key PhotoData - which has a PhotoDataID primary key, and a PhotoID foreign key both primary keys are int, and set to identity. I only want the Photo table to replicate for the merge, because I want the data in the PhotoData table to only be called by demand through a web service (since the images in that table are too large to be included in the normal replication). However, when a client adds a photo to his local database (which adds a record in the photo table, ...Show All

• .NET Development My COM class prevents client app from exiting

  I'm building a plug-in for an application that exports a type interface. I've implemented the type interface using C#/.Net 2.0 and everything works fine. That is until I exit the client app. It cleans up it windows, but hangs around waiting forever, until I kill it from the task manager. I suspect the problem is my COM class isn't implmeneting whatever is called to finalize it. I've tried ~Class, but that didn't change anything. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing, or to an article that describes shutting down a COM server Are you using threads in your plug-in Is one of them still running when the client exits ...Show All
