• .NET Development NetworkStream.Write/.BeginWrite do not seem to be working

  Hi, I am having a problem with a simple app I am trying to write to send data over TCP/IP to a server/listener. According to all of the documentation and code samples I have seen, my code is correct, but the server/listener (which I can observe on the same machine) does not receive any data. I can see that I am making a socket connection, and no exceptions are thrown when I call either .Write or .BeginWrite (I've tried it both ways -- the callback does fire when using BeginWrite, and asynchresult.Completed comes back True), but the server does not get anything. What am I doing wrong here I connect using this method: Public Function ConnectToServer() As Boolean ' make connection to remote server/listener If CheckC ...Show All

• Windows Forms no registry keys are created on x64

  I have a Setup Project created by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727. This setup project creates several registry entries. The registry editor is used to specify which entries should be created. By setting the project's "TargetPlatform" property to x86 and executing the wizard on 32bit platforms everything works correctly. Ecch registry entry is created. The problems begin when I try to execute the wizard on x64 platforms. More details about the platform: Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 Edition with SP1, Intel Xeon 3.4GHz CPU. On this x64 box, the system path environment variable begins with the 32bit related entries (e.g. C:\Windows\System32) and follows with the 64bit related ones. It seems to be ...Show All

• Visual C# VS 2005 IDE Bugs, problems and suggestions

  Hello, I can't find a way to submit bugs or suggestions regarding VS. So here's a topic for that. Apparently bugs in the VS 2005 IDE: - the Document Outline window doesn't show XML files structure as it did in VS 2003 - when an item is selected in the Class View window (e.g. a namespace or a class), the item's properties are not displayed in the Properties window, as it was in VS 2003.

• .NET Development Error when calling an Async WebService method multiple times

  Hey folks, I've run into an interesting problem. I'm calling a web service method asynchronously multiple times simultaneously and an error is being thrown despite my calling of the method with unique state objects. The error is: "There was an error during asynchronous processing. Unique state object is required for multiple asynchronous simultaneous operations to be outstanding." In order to make simultaneous asynchronous calls to a web service, one must use a UserState object. In my case, I use Guid.NewGuid.ToString() in each of my asynchronous method calls. After about about 100 - 200 calls, the completion delegate is called, but there is an error. The "AsyncCompletedEventArgs e" argument contains ...Show All

• .NET Development Read text file with variable field widths

  I am using Visual Studio 2005 (VB.Net) to write my app. At some point the app. need to read a text file with data in columner format. The problem I have is that the columns are of variable width (not fixed). Is there a way that I can use white space characters to distinguise between different fields in a row The file is not comma or tab delimited, but it has spaces between fields. Spaces are present only between individual fields, never in the fields themselves.

• Visual Studio Team System All Projects getting listed??

  Hello All, If you attempt to open a Team project, ths list of projects shows all team project sites including the ones on which you do not have access. They should be hidden somehow. Does anybody know how to do that . Thanks, Ganesh The reason that you are seeing this behavior is that the team project creation process grants the Team Foundation Valid Users group "view project level information" (or GENERIC_READ) rights on the security object representing the team project. As you may know, the Team Foundation Valid Users group is a logical group that represents all users known to the system. That is why all users can see all projects by default. You can revoke this right manually a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System recording metrics from a server sitting on another domain

  I'm sure someone has tried to do this already, but I'm still having problems getting this to work. I'm launching my loadtest from my PC sitting on one domain against a server sitting on another domain. All my webtests run fine but when I try to run a load test and attempt to record metrics from the server, there is an uncharacteristically long delay (maybe 45 seconds) before the load test kicks off and it runs...but it doesn't record metrics from the server computer. Its as if it practically ignores the fact that in the run settings I've added the server computer (visa viz. Run Settings-->Manage Counter Sets) but it doesn't tell me/warn me something is amiss. I've tried DomainName\ServerName and I've tried just ServerName as the ...Show All
