• .NET Development Random General Network Error

  I have developed an ASP.NET page that simply connects to a database and retrieves information. It then takes this information and displays it. This works just fine, however, randomly I will get a General Network Error. I have narrowed it down to the connection.open line, however I cannot find a work around or fix for this problem. It doesn't happen all the time which makes it very hard to diagnose. I am using a custom made library to connect to the database which closes any connections it opens automatically and sets said object to null. I am sometimes able to run the application for long times on end (hours) and others it will load once and then with a refresh it will crash. Any help will be greatly appreciated. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Question regarding sessions

  Hello: I've a couple of questions regarding sessions and reliable messaging (RM), namely: The session mode property of the service contract attribute can have the following values: Allowed, NotAllowed or Required. This option is reflected in the generated WSDL (portType and operation elements) via a couple of attributes, namely “usingSession”, “isInitiating” and “isTerminating”. These attributes belong to a microsoft namespace. Why are they needed Why is it necessary to pass this information to the client I’m assuming that the creation of WCF sessions at the service side is based on the binding level (WS-ReliableMessaging) sessions. So the client should only have to know that a RM session must be ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Windows WM_MOUSEWHEEL message

  Hi I have an application running on my lap top which should trap the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message allowing me to scroll backward and forward through my data. However, the high word of wParam is always zero even though the low word reports the shift/alt/cap status correctly. I have confirmed that my window has input focus and that GetSystemMetrics(SM_MOUSEWHEELPRESENT) returns true. Any ideas why this should be My only thought is that I'm using a laptop which has a local mouse pad and I also have a USB mouse. How does windows discriminate between the sources of wheel messages, or does it simply just 'OR' them together Hi Chris, You need to ask this question on one of the MSDN Win32 development forums.
