• Visual Studio Express Editions Coin3d linker error

  Hi, Thanks for your interest.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Service won't use default printer

  I am developing a program that is intended to run as a service on an XP Pro machine. It processes files and prints them to a printer automatically in the background without any user interaction. The printer that I use is configured to be the system's default printer. When the program runs it works fine when it is not running as a service. However, when it is running as a service, instead of printing to the default printer, it tries to print to the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer. I have not been able to find any information on configuring the system so that I can get my service to use the designated default printer. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. We made some progress on this is ...Show All

• .NET Development .Net program execution is very slow

  Hi, Suddenly in my system the .net program execution became very very slow . It is taking lot of time for step by step execution in the debug mode. Also the programs which used to execute in 30 sec earlier are taking about 20 minutes to execute. All other applications like MS-office and others are working fine. Please inform how to take corrective steps in this regard. Thanks SM What is the CPU utilization like I would suggest that you also monitor the GC gen-0, 1 and 2 performance counters for your offending applications. Also monitor bytes in all heaps. you may have a heap fragmentation problem. What version of the framework are you running Are you using any interop/win32 api etc Can ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Cascading Deletes

  Folks, I've read elsewhere in this forum that retrievals of associated objects must be done explicitly by invoking Load() on the association. Is the same true for deletes Are deletes cascaded If they're not, I would expect to be able to override the implementation of an Entity's Delete() method. I'm using the August CTP. Entity.Delete() is a concrete method. I would have to shadow the implementation of Delete() with a new implementation of Delete() in my entity classes in order to cascade the invocation of Delete() on an aggregate root to members of the aggregate. If cascading deletes is already there, how does it work If cascading deletes is going to be done explicitly as the retrieves are, will the Delete() method on Entity be made vi ...Show All

• Gadgets Version upgrade for gadgets

  Hi! I am just about finished making a gadget - and I'm making the gadget detect if there is a newer version out there. So I compare the System.Gadget.Version and another version number coming via a XML, and if the xml file shows a newer version, the gadget notifies the user about the new version and gives her a link. Now, I have been testing this and there are some shortcomings. Let's say I'm currently running a gadget called mygadget.gadget, and its in my localapp/sidebar folder (since its installed) and it has version no. 0.9. Little later there is a newer gadget with 1.0 version and the xml notifies the 0.9 gadget about the new version. The user clicks the link (that just appeared) and I get the Install dialog...

• Visual C# Is it hard to code in Csharp if I know VB.net and basics of Csharp

  I coded few applications in VB.Net but I only coded basic stuff in Csharp. Therefore I have not needed the advanced features of Csharp yet. Would it be difficult for me to code advanced needs and features iof Csharp. p.s: It s just that I see there are more jobs in Csharp and I want to apply for them and I don t want to be in trouble once I get the job. I am a junior. Thanks for your advice. i do not think that it will be hard to code in c# as in the .Net the framework play a big role here more the language you use to program may be in the beginning have some trobule about learning new syntax but after some time it will not be an issue in conclusion move to csharp if you see that will be more suitable for you ...Show All
