Visual C# Static Methods And Thread Safety
could somebody please tell me, in the following static method, is it possible for a second thread to call the same method with a different input variable modway through, thereby screwing up the result thanks public static int GetString(int i) { // do some stuff with i. e.g. i = i + 100; i = i / 2 ... etc. return i; } at the risk of sounding silly here... if i have a static method which returns a datatable. e.g.: public static DataTable Select( DbTypes dbType, string connnectionString, int cacheDuration) { SocketFactory socketFactory = new SocketFactory (); IDataSocket dataSocket = socketFactory.CreateSocket(dbType); DataTable dataTableAc ...Show All

Windows Live Developer Forums MSN Activity and external content
Hi, I seem to remember reading somewhere that content in the activity window can only originate from the domain where the activity comes from (probably for security reasons). However I can't find any info about that in this forum. Also in a demo i have running in which a have defined an activity in the msgrp2p.xml i can display all kinds of info from many different domains. Am i mistaken in the assumption that content can only originate from the original domain or am i missing something thanx for any help. Hi James, Thanks for the answer. Do you have any pointers to more diffs between the msgrp2p.xml and provisioned apps thanks! ...Show All

.NET Development sent byte array shifted
hi, I have a case whereby when i try to send an byte[], the receiver receive it as its has been shifted. When i tried to debug: sender byte[] before socket.BeginSend() consist of: [1] 60 [2] 63 [3] 120 [4] 109 [5] 108 32 [7] 118 101 ... receiver byte[] after socket.Receive() consist of: [1] 0 [2] 0 [3] 0 [4] 0 [5] 60 63 [7] 120 109 ... The size of the byte[] is sent beforehead, and both sender and receiver has same number. The filestream is created afterwards, and the receiver file has 4 spaces at the front file and 4 character truncated at the rear of the file as it follows the size of the byte[]. What is exactly happening... Anyone can solve my problem Thanks in advance You are being bitten by network byte ord ...Show All
SQL Server Merge Join transformation hangs
I have serached through this forum, and I could not find the solution. My SSIS data flow is a simple one. Extracting two tables from Oracle using OLE DB Source , join them together using merge join and loading into a table in SQL server by SQL Server Destination. I haven't gone through this simple procedure because Merge join always hangs there. Down to further investigation, I found one input (randomly one of two inputs) is always stuck. Sometimes the input is empty, sometimes is about half way. Is there workround to see what is happening there and to fix this problem TIA As far as I can see, Mergejoin is not the culprit, it is by design for MergeJoin to wait until it gets buffers from both inputs before it outputs. ...Show All

Software Development for Windows Vista unrecognized element in import of managed card
