• .NET Development Comvisible object, config files, and classic ASP

  We are developing a comvisible object that will be called from an asp page. This object in turn will load other .net assemblies, E.G. Entlib, other in house items, WSE3.0 imp, etc… Most if not all of the assemblies require settings in a configuration file. The issue is I am unsure of how to get my comvisible assembly and the others that it loads to read a config file. 1) Where does the configuration need to be placed 2) Does it need to be named web.config or assembly.dll.config 3) Curiosity question here a. Can it be placed in such a place that each site/vdir calling the com object can have a different configuration file Thanks Wayne There is an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Avg.Response time deatail

  Hi, In our load test result we have avg.response time max = 9.38 and we would like to find out what request or test scenrio happened during that time which caused peak time. Is is possilbe to find out Yes, in the Load Test results viewer, if you click on "Tables" and then select either "Pages" or "Requests", you should be able to see the average and max response times for each of the different pages or requests. The page response times include the time to load all of the dependent requests (such as images and style sheet) that are included with the page, whereas the request response time is just the response time for an individual reqeust (either for the primary web page or a dependent request). ...Show All

• .NET Development Looking for information on IO Completion Port model based on UDP and not TCP

  Dear All, I am writing a RADIUS network application that uses UDP transport protocol by using native C++ (win32) with microsoft Visla C++ 2005 express edition. I have chosen the IO Completion Port Model to implement this network application because I am expecting more that 64 requests with a length data processing for each request at a single time. However, I have gone through many examples on IO Completion Port model but unfortunately all of them talk about TCP protocol and I did not found a single example on how to implement this model with UDP. This application has to listen to two ports at the same time; port 1812 for radius and port 1813 for accounting, which means that I need to creat two listening sockets in my application ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Massive Update

  Hi, I'm doing a massive update into a table (more than 100), it's taking a lot of time is there a way to optimize this processe in CF2 Regards Mario Ola Mario, I really don’t know if CF2 has functions to optimize your update query but even if it has, you should consider a way of telling the user if your App is working and is not stopped. You should create a thread for each N rows and display the progress in a progress bar, this way the user can still use you App and will be able to see the progress of the operation. Hope it helps. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Stopping After 2 Decimal Places

  This is probably a very easy, and very noob question. In one project we are required to except the input of numbers in the dollar amount form: xx.xx I can easily do this and also make sure that user only inputs numbers a period and can use the back space within the text box. The problem I am not able to get around is only allowing the user to input two numbers after the decimal point. Currently I am using the following: lblChange1.Text = FormatNumber(Change.ToString, 2) Is there an easy to understand, non-existing code destroying way to fix that issue I have tried using masked textbox and no better results.

• Visual FoxPro Grid class

  I have made my own grid base class with 9 columns. When I create a grid based on this class, and I try to reduce the number of columns, I get an error message saying "Member COLUMN# is a class member" (# being the umber just above the one to which I want to change; if I want to go from 9 to 7, # = 8). What am I missing, believing this would work Hans L PS. I wanted to make every column heading centered vertically/horizontally and bold. With column # = -1, this cannot be done, as far as I understand (no columns in Propoerties). > 1) You can decrease columncount to 8,7 ... in code. >> Okay, but I need it when designing (e.g. in Project manager) As I told you, you cannot do this - ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2003 help very slow

  I have Visual Studio 2003 with the MSDN library installed locally. When I search in the help the topics are found instantly, but when I click on the topic the help goes off to the web and downloads the help topic. This would be all well and good but it sometimes takes up to 5 minutes to do this during which time Visual Studio and all other running programs are unusable. I have ensured that ALL the help is installed locally, but I cannot find any options to specify 'Load help locally', not from the web! Has anybody else experienced the same problem More importantly does anybody know a solution! Thanks in advance.
