• SQL Server sqljdbc_auth.dll question

  Hi, Are there any api in sqljdbc_auth.dll for impersonating java client instead of calling win32 api ImpersonateLoggedOnUser() and LogonUser() Thanks. Alexie, There is no impersonation built in into the integrated security dll. To do so would quite frankly be a large potential security vulnerability. Again feel free to fire up feedback bugs if there is a specific scenario that you are interested in that is currently not being enabled because of this limitation. ...Show All

• .NET Development Large data transfer

  I created a local web service that accepts a byte array as a parameter and then I write the data in the array to a hardcoded file name. I added the following entry to the web service app's config file and my computer's machine.config files: < httpRuntime maxRequestLength = " 1048576 " executionTimeout = " 180 " /> I can successfully transfer 50 megs worth of data but it fails with the following error msg when i try to send a 100 megs of data (1 gig is my goal): {"The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send."} System.Net.WebException: {"The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send."} InnerException: {"U ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How create device without window?

  When I set this parameter as null, is throwing exception "Error in the application". Why In MSDN - renderWindowHandle System.IntPtr Handle to a Form, Panel, or any other Control derived class. This parameter indicates the surface to bind to the device. For full-screen mode, the window specified must be a top-level window. For windowed mode, this parameter can be null. If null is specified, a non-null handle must be specified when calling Device.Present. This can be done either by setting the PresentParameters.DeviceWindow property, or by using the optional param_Control_overrideWindow parameter of the Device.Present method. The simple answer is that you cann ...Show All

• Commerce Server Profile adapter

  Hi Unlike the Orders and Catalog adapters where there is a lot of help and examples (excellent webcasts by A Faulkner and B Blum) there is almost nothing on working with the BizTalk Profiles adapters. I need to use the Profiles adapter to update a single (custom) property in the UserObject table. Which schema do I use (Is it the ProfileDocument schema ) When I send this message to Commerce Server via the Profiles adapter: <ProfileDocument><UserObject> <GeneralInfo><user_id> fffc429f-5340-4902-ad99-7beee1a6bbcb </user_id> <store_credits_last_update_date>2006-10-22T11:59:59</store_credits_last_update_date> <store_credits>150.00</store_credits> < ...Show All

• Smart Device Development About SDIO Card Driver

  Hai, I am studying about the SDIO Card driver. From my understanding the client driver is loaded after inseting the SD Card by the Bus driver. When the Host controller Driver is loaded Actually i want to diagnosis the SD Card port before inserting the SD Card .Is there any means to find this.I am using the PXA270 processor JR Lyon wrote: That code is given to the client driver from the bus driver. The client driver gets loaded only after the host controller and bus driver have initialized the card. If you are trying to detect insertion and removal events of the SD card then going through the client driver is probably not the correct method. Instead you should catch the system event with the hex value 0x21 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how to set pre-defined properties for a structure elements?

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. DirectX EULA for DirectSetup Requirements

  Hello All, I am having trouble pin pointing when it is required to display the DirectX End User EULA when using the DirectSetup library to install the directx 9.0c dlls. I will be requiring 9.0c to be previously installed and will be only installing the required dlls for my application. I cannot seem to find the truth behind whether or not I have to display the EULA for this process. The DirectX DXInstall example does not show a EULA. This page: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb174600.aspx which describes the process of using DirectSetup to install DirectX components does not explicitly state that you must show a EULA. It says follow the license agreements for redistributable code which only states t ...Show All

• Visual C# What's the appropriate exception with an input string is empty

  I'm working on an API level component (logging) and I want to throw an exception if someone calls a logging method with an empty string (""). I nomally throw an ArgumentException with an appropriate message in this case, but I've began to wonder recently if ArgumentOutOfRangeException wouldn't be a more appropriate choice since the string length is 0 which for my use would not be an valid range. Any thoughts on this For application exceptions, I think you should create your own exception class that inherit from ApplicationException. I don't know if there's "official" guidance but it's my preference to be able to distinguish exceptions caused my application vs. other exceptions. ...Show All

• .NET Development Catching a .NET unhandled exception from another application ?

  Hi, Currently, I have application A written in .NET 1.1 . Sometimes, application A generates an unhandled exception and I get the standard .NET JIT error box. I would like to know when application A generates that kind of exception so I wrote application B in .NET 1.1. Basically, application B has a timer with the tick event set every 5 secs. When the tick event is raised, I read the ThreadState from Process(Application A).Threads[0]. My problem is as such : whether application A is in error or not, the ThreadState is always "Wait". Therefore, this is not the good way to know when an error is raised by application A. Is there any way I could be informed in application B when application A generates an unhandled exception ...Show All
