• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MessageBuffer: reading and writing to/from a stream

  Hi I'm implementing a message caching routing system. I have a service that accepts a System.ServiceModel.Channels.Message as a parameter for an operation. I can serialize the message to disk by creating a MessageBuffer from the Message and then calling the MessageBuffer.WriteMessage() to write the message to a stream. If I want to (re)transmit the message later on, how can I read the serialized message back into a MessageBuffer Thanks for any help Simon I have a few clarifying questions about your scenario: 1) What is your expected lifecycle of your Message It sounds like you have (a) Message comes in, (b) Message gets copied to disk and optionally sent, (c) Message is disposed, (d) later Message ge ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Number of clients on a workgroup environment

  When I install Team Foundation Server and Clients on a Workgroup environment, is there a any physical limitation on the number of clients that can connect to the Team Foundation Server Thanks, Julio Julio, I think it would have the same issues/restrictions as TFS w/ AD. E.g., we know there is a practical limit per server. Of course, workgroup will only work in a 1 box configuration. Has to do with SIDs, etc. Also, using workgroup does add administrative work, e.g., adding users to the local machine, etc. But, to your specific question ... you shouldn't see any real limitation than that of TFS ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot register filter with win98se

  I have built a capture filter with VS Express on a pc with xp pro, where it registers ok thru regsvr32.exe. But if I try to register it on another pc with win98se it fails to register. It happens with both the debug version and the retail version. Any comment or advice please Regards, pcd.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Code to demonstrate error

  Using the External Ruleset demo as a base, I constructed a class library that dynamically builds rules and runs them using the RuleSet.Execute method. Everything works perfectly until I tried to use the WorkflowMarkupSerializer to stream and restore rulesets. What I have found is that I can take a running ruleset (if then else) where the "then" is evaluated properly, stream it to xml, reconstitute it to the ruleset and the "else" will always be called. I have checked and double checked the syntax and values and everything says the test should succeed. I constructed NUnits that can demonstrate that the same rule runs correctly when dynamically built (using CodeDom), but once the rule is built using the WorkflowMarkupSerializer (I used a var ...Show All

• Visual C++ Conversions string <-> int in C

  Hi everyone! Does anyone know how to convert a string to an int and vice versa in C (not C++, only in C) I need it because I have to create txt files incrementally, whose names are 1.txt, 2.txt, ...etc. Thank you very much!   Cla82 wrote: [...] It gives no problem if the filename is for instance "%i.txt" alone, without the path. How is it I think the space for filename is too small for your longer path. Increase it. For instance: char filename[_MAX_PATH + 1]; Also replace " // " with " \\ " and check the return value of fopen in next versions.   ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Screenshot in windowed mode occluded by other windows!

  My 3D program works in windowed mode. And my screenshot capture code using GetFrontBufferData() works fine until one day I found that another on-top window was in the captured image! It seems working in the same way as the PrintScreen key. The SDK document said GetFrontBufferData() is the only way to get fullscreen antialiased image. Then how can I get only the content of my 3D window But multisampled render target cannot be lockable... and GetRenderTargetData() don't work with multisampled render target... The user will be sad to see the captured image is poor quality compared to what's on screen. ...Show All
