• .NET Development Large payloads and memory allocation

  I have a web service method that returns a fairly large payload - around 70MB of xml. The client application break on receive with the OutOfMemory exception. Now, I understand that even though my workstation has 2 gigs of RAM it doesn't mean that all of that is available to my application. But how do I know how much memory IS available How is the memory allocated How can I calculate the hardware requirements for my scenario I'm glad that you found it helpful. I realize that I said "OutOfMemoryException" and then sent you the SocketException. The truth is that half the time the error is on the server and then I get the "out of memory" when I try to load the XmlDocument from large file a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Format Text for PhoneNumber

  If i have a text field and i want to enter a phone number like 12345678190...but i want it inserted in my db like 123-456-7890 how would i go about doing that Split your text box up into 3 textboxes: textBox1 would be area code textBox2 would be the first 3 digits textBox3 would be the last 4 digits Then do: string phoneNumber = this.textBox1.Text + " - " + this.textBox2.Text + " - " + this.textBox3.Text; The output would be:  ### - ### - #### Then for each textBox set the maximum allowed characters for each one.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Session data or how to implement a client side transaction

  I've got a three-tier-setup: 1) Client tier. Using WCF to communicate to tier 2 2) Middle tier. Listens to WCF and uses TSQL to communicate to tier 3 3) SQL Server 2005 as database tier. A client opens a client proxy, sends a command to the middle tier, and closes the client proxy after use. The middle tier, when called, opens a SqlConnection to the SQL Server, does its stuff, closes the SqlConnection and reply to the client using WCF. This is working nicely, transactions in the middle tier work nicely, but how do I start a transaction initiated from the client, across more than one WCF call For this I would need to keep the SqlConnection open and reuse it, but where do I store it How do I recognise the client aga ...Show All

• Visual C# ApplySortCore for BindingList

  I have used the SortableBindingList in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnforms/html/winforms02182005.asp to implment the sorting and would like to know how to find out the sorting status ascending or descending from this class. Because it seems that whenever I click on a header it calls the method ApplySortCore with the parameters PropertyDescriptor property and ListSortDirection direction with the direction always set as Ascending. Thus how do I check the status of previous sorting so that I can do an alternate sort direction each time a header is clicked. There is a ListSortDirection SortDirection { get; } to find out the status but not sure how to use it.Thanks Regards Alu When determin ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom domain and mailboxes

  Hello, I like the idea for the custom domains and the mailboxes you can add. But the thing I'm missing is support for multiple mail addresses for 1 box. Now my question is.. did I overlook an option (or is it in the SDK) for this Is this option to be implemented I did find the "send as" part, but not the recieve part (the most important one imho). DJM You are referring to a mail alias feature. For example, having mail to sales@mydomain.com end up in john@mydomain.com 's mailbox. This is a popular request and we're working on this feature to release in a later version. Brian ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Processing Keyframe Animation Data

  Hey all, I'm trying to write a Processor to extract the relevant keyframe animation data from the NodeContent data imported from the .x files, and am having trouble figuring out exactly what data i am given. Since i iterate through all the meshes to draw the model i was looking to store the keyframes as the corresponding Absolute transformations for each mesh, hence when animating i can just pick the appropriate keyframe transformation and set that as the World transformation matrix for the effect. Each NodeContent object has a dictionary of AnimationContents which in turn have a dictionary of AnimationChannels which in turn contain a list of KeyFrames, each containing the time index for the frame and a matrix transformation.
