• Visual Basic Reading from MSMQ help needed

  Hi, I am a beginner and am trying to find out a better way to read from MSMQ using VB.NET. There is an application that queues message on a MSMQ. Now I want to have another application that should always listen on the queue and whenever a message arrives want to deque the message and do further processing and if all goes fine finally deletes the message off the queue and then wait for another message. There can be multiple messages queued within a second but I want to deque them one by one. As I work in Java/Oracle and this is a new requirement so trying to find out what is the best way to design this. Is there something that I can develop using VB.net that basically listens on the queue and whenever a message arrives automatically picks ...Show All

• .NET Development long arrays blues

  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but after reading a few porting documents it seems to me that the .Net framework is trying to support a 64bit computing model essentially by doing the following: Making pointers 64 bit Allowing a long to be used as an array index as well as a length specifier during array creation I've seen several documents mention how it would be space inefficient to change the size of int along with the pointer size and I can understand this issue, however is this space optimization worth breaking *all* functions that take arrays as input My concern is that any function that accesses an array will not be able to utilize the 64 bit address space without rewriting it to use long indices. Worse: A met ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS - Problems Accessing Documents Since IE7 Install

  First, sorry if wrong forum, please "gently" redirect me if needed. Ever since I upgraded to IE7 (Xp-Pro Os), I am unable to successfully read or edit MS Word documents stored in Sharepoint. Each time I attempt to open a document, MS Word throws an error and automatically goes into recovery mode. The recovery mode attempts to recover and fails, eventually opening up an empty document. This is for any document in Sharepoint, the problem does not occur in standard documents stored outside of Sharepoint. I am running Office 2003, SP2. I am on a mission-critical project and need the ability to access the Sharepoint documents residing on the project website that I had set up. I have uninstalled IE7, going back to IE6.

• Visual Studio Team System In Project, can the Work Item ID field be editable?

  For some reason when a .mpp was opened, the Work Item ID field was blank. Though the project was connected to TFS and the other fields were available, the Work Item ID was blank and still 'read only.' Is there a way to make this field editable Mostly so we can enter the correct work item ID and publish back to TFS. I can't test your second recommendation. This was a random occurence and happened on a machine that was not mine. I did create a new .mpp file and imported one of the work items that was affected in my original file. It worked fine. Everything has been working fine since that oddity. Thanks again for your support. ...Show All

• .NET Development Using System.Net.Mail with Gmail is Faulty

  Can someone try this on their computer with their Gmail account I'm not sure if its every mail service or just gmail, because gmail is the only mail service that allows for smtp access (hotmail and yahoo don't) that I use. The problem is that the mail message send completed event is not triggered, even when its done. The email is sent and all, its just the event isnt triggered. Mybe is the same problem that here: To send to hotmail, your server ip must have reverse dns resolution. This meaning, that for example from your dynamic IP internet connection you can't send to hotmail. You must have a domain name associtate at your IP address. This is a way to avoid spammers.
