• .NET Development ThreadPool on Multiple processor machines

  Hi, I am writing a number crunching server application and would like to be able to split the work across multi processors on my server. Would it be sufficient to use a .Net ThreadPool and queue the tasks on the different threads I am not sure about this because from the operating system point of view all the threads are running within the same operating system process and would therefore not get split across different processors. If this is the case then how can I make use of multi processor architecture on .Net applications Regards Vikram Hi nobugz Thanks for your reply. Is there any way I can test this theory Sorry, I really need to be sure about this as my project design will depen ...Show All

• Visual C++ Convert Static Lib to DLL

  Hi All, I inheritted quite a few static libraries code developed at the time when MFC was the "state of the art". After many..years maintained by previous developers, these libraries now still can be compiled with VC++ 2003. However, making these existing library code compiled with VC++ 2005 is truly a pain. I am thinking about converting these existing, old library code into DLL which can be compiled/linked with VC++ 2005. My questions are: 1. Is it possible to convert these old libraries to DLL 2. If it is possible, what do I have to do 3. Is there a forum/article on the Internet described the works that have to be done to convert a static lib to DLL If there is, can someone direct me to the url Thanks in ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merge doesn't work reliably + Suggestions for making Branching and Merging easier to use

  For me the merge tool does not work reliably.  Trying to merge from an integration branch to main-line I cannot select "all changes from left/right" it is always unhighlighted.  Once when trying to merge main line changes into a different integration branch, one file would select properly in the merge tool, but the other did not allow me to select "all changes from left/right" because it was unhighlighted again.  Do I need to get SP1 beta to fix these problems Clearcase introduced a concept of an integration branch, where a developer does his work in an integration branch and then merges it back into the development line, when he is done with his development effort;  I am guessing this not a reco ...Show All

  I have a web application that sends email using the System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient. Is there a way to wait for a response back from the SMTP server (250/550) I’m afraid not.

Would it work to simply wrap your call SmtpClient.Send() call in a try/catch block that catches the possible SmtpException ...Show All
