• Smart Device Development Load Image from stream?

  .NET CF 2.0 Trying to load an image into a picturebox from a memorystream - is this possible when I try to do it I get a notsupportedexception theImageStream.Position = 0; this .thePictureBox.Image = new Bitmap(theImageStream); ahmedilyas wrote: but still, shouldnt it throw a cross threading exception or does the .NET CF now have this exception I remember seeing one a while back I think...

Could be a bug ahmedilyas wrote: so, when are you free for some coffee it's on you. Sure, next time I am flying across the pond <g> ...Show All

• SQL Server Bidirectional replication

  Hello, is it possible to implement bidirectional replication with queued updating subscriptions in SQL Server 2000 I am currently testing bidirectional replication on two servers and it works well so far.

But because both servers in bidirectional replication are publishers, if the two servers are disconnected, replication agents will just retry until it can connect to another server.
