• Visual C# Problem with Sockets

  Hi buddies, How are you !! I got the following problem while i am developing a chat software My software consists of two parts: Server Client each in a seperate project, and each works very well when they are working alone, but when i try to test my application -I run the server then the client- i got the problem that when the client create the TcpClient object i got this message: Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted I think that is because i use the same port number for both applications but this is the only way to run both applications on the same machine. the short version of my question is: How can I start a TcpListener and a TcpClient on the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adding a custom icon to a form, next to minimize, maximize and close in top right

  Hi My design calls for a custom 'pin' icon to be added to forms next to the existing minimize, maximize and close in the top right corner. Any suggestions as to how this could be done Jim Windows doesn't let you do this. You'll have to simulate your own window caption on a caption-less window frame, just like the VS2005 IDE does it.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Creating a GUI with Visual Basic

  I am a high school student in San Antonio, TX, and I am involved with a mentorship at a very prestigious company called Southwest Research Institute. My project is creating a GUI for a BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller. I just have a few questions about VB Express before I download it. 1) Can VB Express be used to create a GUI 2) Can VB Express link DLL files I must include a Tokenizer into my code in order to send data to the microcontroller, and the Tokenizer is in DLL format. 3) Can VB Express send packet data through a COM (Serial) port Thank you for you time.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Studio Express Unhandled exeptions

  Having recently installed XNA Studio Express Beta I attempted to build and debug the included SpaceWars game. I received an unhandled exeption error in the penultimate statement: this.GameComponents.Add(this.graphics); The message received is: " NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceExeption was unhandled" and the values used in the attempt to create the GraphicsDevice were invalid. Any ideas on a fix for this or is it a bug in the package itself Nigel.. Not wanting to be rude but you could have found the answer to this really easily by just searching the forum. Searching for "NoSuitableGraphicsDeviceException" returns all these threads . Quick answer is its likely your graphics card can't cope with the de ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) netMsmqBinding using WAS

  Hi, I'm currently testing WAS running "Longhorn" build 6100. When hosting services using net.tcp everything is running fine. However, when I attempt to start a service using netMsmqBinding the application pool used by WAS process "freezes".

• Visual Studio Team System Bug reporting in TFS via web access and snapshop functionality?

  Hello I have been looking for a solution for external users to report defect in TFS. I have seen teamplain who can provide us with a web interface to report bugs, and it looks very nice. But it's missing the important camera snapshot functionality that we today have in Test Director. It there any other solutions can provide this functionality I would like the user take a snaphop of the screen that will be attached as a file to the bug in. There is also a utility to syncronize test director and TFS, but I think it can be better to only use TFS for our needs. Ok, thank you. I'm aware of the Bug Snapper but for our users (not all with so much IT knowledge) it would be better if they could use a web solutio ...Show All

• SQL Server Lots of stats based on one database table

  Hi, I'm new to reporting services and this is a very general question. I'm working on a large sales stats report with many results. I want to be able to compare many results for two dates. These results include, average sales value per day, average sales per weekday, sales with payment received, etc. So basically there is lots of analysis needed mainly based on one database table (a fairly standard orders table). What seemed the most logical thing to do is get all the relevant order rows for these two date ranges, A and B, and append a period column to the results, and then do all the maths/aggregate functions in Reporting Services. Thus only having to connect to database once. And use a matrix with date period columns. So m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build Machine Exception in App. Tier Event log?

  Hi, I had the problem that one of our Team Builds did reference Unit Test Assemblies for code coverage in it’s tesrunconfig file. As stated here this leads to an exception and TS is not able to calculate the actual code coverage. What surprises me is that we got an exception entry in our TFS application tier event log for this error, since the team build is actually running on a separate build server. The build server is a virtual windows 2003 server and works fine otherwise. The build machine did not show any Exception relating to this issue. What is the reason for this Why should our TFS event log be flooded with exceptions if a team build on an external build machine is having an issue Is this a correct (planned) be ...Show All
