• Visual C# Why File Opens in Broswer Window

  i'm using .net 1.1. Can somebody try to answer this question http://forums.asp.net/thread/1357943.aspx View=Flat The way ASP.NET works is that when a post-back event occures (such as a button click), the page sends the appropriate data to the server, the server updates the form and re-generates the HTML and sends it as a response, and the browser reloads the page with the new HTML. In order for you to be able to change the button's state from the server, you have to do this. However, instead of sending back the page, you are hijacking the response to send your receipt file. There really is no simple way to "fix" this. I think you need to think about your whole approach here. For starters, why ...Show All

• SQL Server about subscribers

  i have millions of subscribers, any good idea to manage those subscribers efficently thanks Same old, same old... Query optimization (the most important thing!!!...). And remember that you can add custom indexes to NS tables. Also, if possible, break your application into several separate applications based on the module's functionality, and run them separately, maybe even on separate machines. Also, for performance, use SQL Server server machine for the SQL stuff only, and move the NS service and all other resources-hungry stuff (custom event providers, content formatters, etc.) to other server(s). Use subscription expiration to remove all "old" subscriptions, and once in a wh ...Show All

• .NET Development What is the right way to instantiate/dispose a Control?

  Hi, In Windows Forms application I am trying to dynamically create and dispose Controls. However, while testing it I ran into the fact that the way I do it leads to a stable GC Handle leak (one per instance). Here is the code that seems to produce a leak: for ( int idx = 0; idx < 5000; idx++) { Control tmpCtrl = new Control (); tmpCtrl.Dispose(); tmpCtrl = null ; } This results in exactly 5000 extra GC Handles (according to performance counter). What am I doing wrong Thank you, Leo. Nobugz, thanks for answering. However, GC.Collect() does not seem to help the situation even if I put it in the loop: for ( int idx = 0; idx < 5000; idx++) { ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to programatically add a new resx file

  Hi there, Can someone shed any light on how to add a new "resx" file to a project or any other file for that matter. I think "ProjectItems.AddFromTemplate()" may be the right method ( ) but if so, how do you determine the name of the project template to pass. Thanks very much. I have just finished the development of a free tool that I call ResEx , composite, translation friendly resource editor for .NET. It is a free tool and I intend to keep it free, containing all current features. A small charge may be applied for some features I may introduce later, just to help me keep supporting and enhancing the project. I encourage you to download ResEx and post any suggestions to the discussions page you can find under He ...Show All

• SQL Server Replacing Oracle sequencers

  I have migrated a lot of tables from Oracle to Sql server with Inspires SqlWays. In this process I created identity columns on my tables, instead of the sequencers used in Oracle. Now I need to go through all the code and remove alle the places where sequencers is used in inserts statements, but is there a simpler way All queries are like this: Insert into Tablename(myidentitycolumn, column2) Value(MySequencer.nextval, "Column2 data") - I can't just search and replace, because I don't have anything to replace with. There is no Sql server function that just tells it to use the next identity (like a getNextIdentityValue() ). And if I replace with blank, it still has the identity column in the insert statement which cause ...Show All

• Windows Forms PropertyGrid and ListBox

  Hi All Can someone show me an example of how to place a "ListBox" property within a PropertyGrid I am working on visual studio 2005.   srinivasa rao   To display any control other than a TextBox or the standard editor for a type, you should implement a UITypeEditor inherited class that performs the editing for you and then, you apply the Editor attribute to the object class that the PropertyGrid is to edit. To demonstrate this, suppose you have a class called Item. You want to edit certain objects of this class using a property grid control. The class Item contains two properties, ValueInt of type int and ValueString of type string. For the string value, you want the property grid to display a File selector so t ...Show All

• Visual C++ Is it possible to intercept or monitor IEEE1394 (or USB) commands from another program...

  Hi all-- I had a bit of a question. We have this microscope and a camera that communicates with a windows PC via firewire. In essence, I was wondering, is there a way to write a monitoring program to figure out what commands were being sent by the software to the camera/microscope via firewire so that I can control the camera and microscope I was wondering if anyone knows if such a thing is possible If so, where might I find some sample code to study (even if it's for USB...maybe I can apply it) I can think of two possible solutions, but I'm not sure of the ability of either. The first is run the program on top of my program that would study the events generated (is this possible any place to look ) and the second is monitor the IEEE1394 ...Show All
