• .NET Development XML Serialization Over TCP Sockets

  I have an appliction that serializes an object over a NetworkStream, and I want the receiving application to deserialize the object as effeciently as possible. Is it possible to directly deserialize an object using XML Serialization and NetworkStream's In VB, the receiving application has the following line of code: MessageObj = CType(Serializer.Deserialize(NetStream), Message) The application appears to hang on this line. However, when I close the application that originally serialized the object to the stream, the receiving application continues and successfully displays a value contained within the deserialized object. Is it possible for the object to be deserialized successfully in this manner It see ...Show All

• Windows Forms Strongly Typed Version?

  I am trying to achieve: myDataSet.memberRow newMember = myDataSet.Member.NewMemberRow(); newMember.referredByID = (long)((DataRowView)memberBindingSource.Current).Row["id"]; It seems to me that the memberBindingSource should be strongly typed since it was generated as part of a datatable, so that I could simply go: newMember.refferredByID = memberBindingSource.Current.id; Am I missing something Is there a way to do this in a strongly typed way ModelListDataSet . AreaMembersRow newAreaMember = modelListDataSet.AreaMembers.NewAreaMembersRow(); newAreaMember.area_id = ( long )(( DataRowView )areasBindingSource.Current).Row[ "id" ]; newAreaMember.model_id = _modelID; modelListDataSet.AreaMembers.AddAreaMember ...Show All

• Commerce Server Profile Object

  What does the Requires Approval for Account Status in the Profiles for a User Object do I was hoping it would prevent a user from placing an order in the starter site but that does not seem to be the case. Any ideas on how to tie this in or am I just missing something. Xcel. You need to code this yourself. Before authentication the user the Starter Site gets the users profile object. Once you have the object you will need to do a quick check to see if the user is approved.   -Max ...Show All

• .NET Development How can I expose a specialized managed template class to C#?

  Hi all, I know that only referenced functions are emitted in the metadata so how can I force all of the functions in my template to be referenced. I tired explicitly creating the class like this: template ref class MyClass<FirstType^, SecondType, ThirdType>; That didn’t work. I also tried this: public ref class MyDerivedClass : public MyClass<FirstType^, SecondType, ThirdType> { }; That didn’t work either. I end up with MyDerivedClass and no member functions. So, is there some way I can force this thing into metadata Seeing as no one seems to have any suggestions I've had to come up with some solution and I'm sure it’s not the best. In ...Show All

Class AccountEntity property Boolean HoldBill End Class I have my data layer that assigns the fields to the account class: accountEntity.HoldBill= myDataRow("HoldBill") My questions pls: 1/ I defined the fields as bit type in SQL server since they ll be related to a checkbox (either true or false ).

• .NET Development Default Values with a DataSet and SQL Server Express don't work at the table level

  I am new to SQL Server Express and have worked with datasets a little, I am just not sure what I am doing wrong here... When I create a new row with a dataset, the table columns 'Default Values' properties inside of SQL Server Express do not work. If I use the database tools to insert a new record; those 'Default Values' that are in the column properties do get transposed or inserted into the new row for that particlular column if there is no other input. But... if I insert a new row with a dataset; NONE of those 'Default Values' are inserted if there is no value input for that column(s), ALL of those columns recieve a 'NULL' value instead of the 'Default Value'... why ...Show All

• SQL Server Connection String Encryption for SQL Server Mobile

  I'm seeking suggestions on how to go about encrypting a database connection string in the compact framework. It's something that I thought would be relatively straight forward as I've accomplished it without much difficulty in the full framework, but I'm stuggling to find a solution. I've been trying to implement a solution using public/private key asymmetric encryption using the RSA provider. I've essentially been trying to encrypt the connection string once on my development machine so that I can include both the encrypted connection string value and public key in either code or an external file. I'd then keep the private key out of harms reach. The problem I've encountered in doing this is that that RSA provider seemingly only allows ...Show All

• Windows Forms App.config Connection String Encrypted

  Hi Guys, I have been looking into how to encrypt the connection strings part in my App.config file. I have written some working code from the MSDN article and it works like a dream. However when I build the program and copy it to another machine and run it it cannot decrypt my connection string. When connection strings are encrypted are they encrypted using my machine hardware Is there any way of a simple encryption system that all PCs can understand. I'm just simply bothered about encrpying the connection string to protect from prying eyes is this possible, has anybody else achieved this before Cheers, Rob Hi, I'm not an expert in this but I looked at it recently with web.config and if I remember correctly the key ...Show All
