• Visual Basic Migrating from vb6 to VB.Net (doevents)

  Hello, I have a library that works well in vb6. But, I want to migrate to VB.Net. Its like my client application connects to the server and binds to it. (SMPP v3.4). I have SMPP states, 0=no active tcp connection, 1 = active tcp connection, 2 = active SMPP session and 3 = waiting for SMPP session establishment. Not, in vb6, I do something like, Do DoEvents Loop Until smpp.State <> 3 Now, in VB.Net, it becomes Do Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents() Loop Until smpp.State <> 3 But, when I call this code, I get this error A callback was made on a garbage collected delegate of type 'SMPPlib!Project1.TBase+Delegate_zTimerEvent::Invoke'.

  All-- Please help. I want to prevent clicks from being queued when form elements have enabled=false and Me.Cursor=WaitCursor. Right now, I have the code below and everything works EXCEPT the fact that the clicks on the button when the GroupBox.Enabled=False are queued and are actually executed as soon as the GroupBox.Enabled=True is set.

• .NET Development XmlSerializer and custom attributes

  Hello, I am serializing a class whose members are marked with attributes such as XmlRootAttribute, XmlElementAttribute, XmlAttributeAttribute, XmlIgnoreAttribute, etc... to control the serialization process. I was wondering if it is possible to instruct the serializer to ignore all these attributes and work as if there weren't any. The XmlAttributeOverrides allows me to override these attributes but this is not what I am looking for because the serializer takes into consideration the attributes in the class. Thanks in advance, Darin You can use reflection to build your XmlAttributeOverrides. For example: XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(YourClass), GetDefaultXmlAttributeOverrides(ty ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Chatroom

  I personally put up a XNA chatroom to build a community that is already here and to better get to know each other. If you want to quickly inform somebody or get some information or help with something go there. The only problem for me right now is getting idlers in the channel. I know forums are a great way to help people, but sometimes just talking to each other about things like this is even better. Come and idle and help build a community even bigger and also build a place to help each other out. Its XNA Development, its for us. (That would be a sexy slogan).

• Visual Studio Problem with vsdrfCOMSelfReg and multiple Primary Outputs (VS2005)

  I'm encountering the following problem: I have two projects in my VS Solution (well, actually I have about 30 interdependent projects in the Solution, but I'm trying to keep it simple!): The first project, MYAX, is a C++ ActiveX control library project (which builds the library MYAX.dll). The second project, MYAXMSM, is a deployment project, that builds a merge module from a number of sources , one of which is the project output ("primary output") of the MYAX project. In MYAXMSM, the properties of the Project Output for MYAX are set to vsdrfCOMSelfReg -- because MYAX is a self-registering COM library. Up until recently, everything was working fine, until I decided to enhance MYAX with the following custom build ru ...Show All
