• Smart Device Development CF 2 & 3 Web services capabilities

  Hi, I'm looking for DPWS web services capabilities embedded in these two frameworks, I'm pretty sure that CF 2.0 doesn't have any web service capability but what for the next step of compact framework (I guess 3.5 from what I read) Will it be possible to make DPWS devices directly with compact framework Thanks if you'll note on the WSDAPI pages in MSDN: Run-Time Requirements Client applications using WSDAPI run on Windows Vista and Windows Server "Longhorn". This API requires OS support. Any sort of API like this would require OS support. Unfortunately that limits you -- it's not a matter of whether or not the Compact Framework supports it. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Shadowed text

  What is the most elegant solution we have for shadowed text in VB2005 Is it just a duplicate label underneath with zorder offset or is there any more sophisticated shape shadow effects anyone can point me to TIA ! You could create your own User Control relatively easily (but not as easily as the 2 label approach) and using DrawString on the graphics object - actually, that's a very good beginners project for getting used to developing user controls and also drawing graphics. Just remember, a subtle shadow is better - depending on the size of text - no more than one or two pixels. Otherwise it'll end up looking like it was drawn by a 5 year old with a crayon. ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored Procedure Update parameters question

  I just posted a question on WHERE clause impotence in SELECT command, I mean in my setting. It obviously should work on a global scale and now I have a problem with UPDATE command WHERE clause. I am talking about a different SP now. It is supposed to update a record in a table. Anyhow, the procedure did NOT seem to execute properly (did not update the record) when called from C# code but when I tried to exec it in the server it finally did work but raised a problem of safeguarding the unused parameters . I do not need to update all columns in every call to the SP that uses UPDATE statement. Some parameters are left the way they are. I found out that if I ignore them they are set to default values which is NULL for DateTime. It ess ...Show All

• Visual Basic How do I set delay between code?

  Hello all. I would like to enquire how I can set a delay in between chunks of code. For example, after some code which interacts with a server, I am supposed to get a corresponding information from the server before it is appropriate to proceed on to the next part of the code. As the server response is not immediate, therefore an arbitrary delay is needed. What is the proper code format that I need to add  I can't seem to find the documentation in the help file. Thanks in advance. The easiest way is often to simply do a sleep: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Programming->Structure

  Hi Ques1 :-> Can be instantiate the object of a strcuture using default constructor after declaring the parameterised constructor in the structure if yes why Hi, you can still use the default constructor in a struct even after you have declared a parameterised constructor because if you do something like: struct Person { private int age; private string name; public Person(int age, string name) { this.age = age; this.name = name; } } Person[] people = new Person[55]; Then if you have a reference type in your array all of the elements are set to null, for a value type you cannot have a null value so you need to have a default value of ...Show All

• SQL Server Taming the UI in DTexecUI

  Is there an option(s) that will allow me to reduce the amount of output to the Package Execution Progress window My package has a number of steps, but trying to keep track of progress is difficult at best given the deluge of messages this window displays. I would prefer output similar to the SQL Import/Export wizard, which shows executing tasks on a single line with a status and a link to any error messages off to the side. Is this available somehow, or do I have to build it myself Thanks, any help appreciated.   Jamie Thomson wrote:   Mark Challen wrote: Is there an option(s) that will allow me to reduce the amount of output to the Packag ...Show All

• SQL Server problems with sync_type 'replication support only'

  Hi, I try to setup a transactional push replication from MS SQL Server 2005 to Sybase ASE 12.5.3. ASE is known to MS SQL Server as a linked server using OleDB. As table schema and data are valid at subscriber site I don't need a initial snapshot for the replication. So I do some tests with sync_type (sp_addsubscription). First I tried 'none'. That works fine. But the documentation says that it is depricated an I should use 'replication support only'. But with this syn_type replication stops because is sends the following commands to the subscriber: -- -- Transactional replication custom procedures for publication 'kunktable_pub' from database 'kunktest2': -- ---- ---- Replication custom procedures will not be scripted for article 'kunktabl ...Show All

• .NET Development Why is my app taking up so much Memory?

  I have created a blank form with a few buttons and components and NO CODE. When I run my app, it takes up 22 Meg of Memory! Why is this Thanks, Hi wizkid1 This article explains what's using memory, and how to better measure memory usage for .NET apps: http://getdotnetco.web119.discountasp.net/GdncStore/free/Articles/The%20Memory%20Mystery.htm The short answer is the .NET runtime tries to grab a large chunk of memory in order to keep memory allocations quick. Unless there is memory pressure on the system from other processes, the runtime will be "greedy". When memory pressure increases, the GC will kick in and release all but the necessary amount of memory. Hope that helps -Chris ...Show All
