  Why does AppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap(..) work and AppDomain.CreateInstanceFrom(...).UnWrap doesn't I'm trying to load an assembly in a AppDomain. The AppDomain.CreateInstanceAndUnwrap works but only when the assembly is in the GAC.

• SQL Server Mimic SQL Server Management Studio behavior inside RS Report

  I want to know how to mimic the SSMS behavior inside an Reporting Services report when querying an XML field. In SSMS, a field that is XML shows up as a link, and when the use clicks on the XML, it opens then entire XML document in a new window. I need this exact behavior in RS, but can't accomplish it. Any smart people out there who can do this I didn't realize you were trying to get an interactive representation of the XML. You can't really accomplish what you want in a report as we don't deal with XML data hierarchically - the XML data extension will flatten it and the binding it into a textbox will simply display the string. (Native XML support is in the long term plans) So, if you want an in ...Show All

• .NET Development P/Invoke DeviceIOControl Failing depending on cdrom status

  Apologies if this should be in the c# forum. Hello, I am experimenting with some basic CDROM control using c# and calling deviceiocontrol. Calling the functions all works fine with one exception: If I send a test device ready command to the drive via SCSI_PASS_THROUGH_DIRECT (CDB of 00 00 00 00 00 00) it will fail upon the conditions of 1. a previously loaded disc is ejected or 2. a blank disc is in the drive. The call to deviceiocontrol itself fails, and Marshal.GetLastWin32Error returns error code 1117 - The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error. While in any other state the call works perfectly and how it should. Similar code I have seen in c++ does an identical thing yet the call to deviceiocontrol succeeds and ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions "Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created" error message

  Turning my single threaded application into a multithreaded application has made it much too complicated for me to handle, that's why I need someone's help. My problem is extremely similar to the thread posted by AlexJstubbs titled "Error: Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called on a control until the window handle has been created". I basically have a long calculation that I used backgroundworker to handle so that my main form can update a progress bar (a different form with panels and extend) using the backgroundworker_progresschanged event handler. Initially, it threw the "Invoke or BeginInvoke cannot be called....." InvalidOperationException, and I don't really get it because I had the display shown prior to the r ...Show All
