• .NET Development serialization from file failed in another assembly

  Hello, I want to deserialize a file that was serialized in another solution (assembly). I copied all the classes that was serialized, and put them in my project, thinking this would be enough. However I get this message when trying to deserialize the file: System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: Cannot find the assembly 96wellShuttleSW, Version=1.0.2382.20980, Culture=neutral, Pub licKeyToken=null. at System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryAssemblyInfo.GetAssem bly() Now, the 96wellShuttleSW is the assembly that created the file. What does it have to do with this, I thought everything needed (that is the class instances) were serialized in the binary object Is there any way around this ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing border color of GroupBox

  Is there any way to change the border color of GroupBox Thnx! Hi Kapalic What's on a group box is a chiseled line, probably a ControlPaint.DrawBorder3d. There's no color option with that because it's very thin. To make a group box with custom appearance, I'd create a derived control that inherits from Panel, add a Paint event handler, and draw the border myself. This will, for all practical purposes, act just like a group box (A group box, after all, is just a panel with a border...) This is much easier than it sounds! Let me know if you need an example. ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums An Easier Way

  Javascript is like greek to me, and i really do not feel like learning it right now. But i need to put together a map. Does anyone know of a "making a microsoft live map easy" site or some kind of simulator for people like me who are stupid I'm really picky too, so it has to be flexible, but i'm kinda desperate right now. I may have the solution for you Codename "Atlas", now named something far less cool, provides an abstraction for .NET developers so you need not write any javascript.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to cancel a WCF connection request?

  If a WCF connection request will take a long period to excute, how can I cancel it before it is finished. You can invoke the operation asynchronously on the client. Check out this blog http://blogs.msdn.com/mjm/archive/2005/05/04/414793.aspx and also note that svcutil.exe has an option to generate code for async methods on the client. Using the async pattern leaves the client 'unblocked' and in control of if/when it wants to process the results. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Dumb question about .net 1.1 vs. .net 2.0 in VS 2003

  I have VS .NET 2003, and I'm using the .NET framework 1.1. This is causing me some compatibility problems. I was going to upgrade to 2.0, but I realized I didn't know for sure if you could use 2.0 with VS.NET 2003, or if that was strictly for 2005. The reason I am doing this: I've seen a lot of posts saying there should be no compatibility issues if I have 2.0 installed. I have found this to be untrue. If I set my old web sites to using .NET 1.1, they work fine but the newer sites (which are set to 2.0) stop working entirely. If I set the old sites to use 2.0, they work fine except for the embedded crystal reports. Why changing the ASP version on one web site would affect another web site is beyond me, but that's what's happen ...Show All
