• Architecture .NET data trasfer application architecture - windows service

  Hi, I need to develop an application which performs a data transfer one data base to another. I can not use DTS as a solution due to the complex requiremtns of the application. This application needs to run every 30 secs. So I decided to go for windows service. I am new to windows serivces and multithreading. I have developed an application design and would like to get feed back on it. General over view of the design : Application contains the following classes - AccountCreationDTS (WInService class), DTSTimer, DTSController, DTSREquestBin and DTS. AccountCreationDTS.OnStart() starts the DTSTimer. DTSTimer._onTimeElapsed() invokes DTSController.startTask() which initiates a DTS. The code for all the classes is given below : ...Show All

• Visual C++ need a help regarding dwmapi.dll and DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea function

  Dear All, My compiled code asking dwmapi.dll, which is nowhere to find on my windows XP box. using dependency walker, it reports that the "c:\windows\system32\urlmon.dll" is looking for this dll, and the function name is DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea. I searched internet, and some people say that the IE7 is making this problem. and I am kind of agree, and I have it on my machine. So I need this dll badly, or somebody can give me a way to un-install IE7 quickly Thanks a lot. rcen How is it that there's still no official patch for this problem yet This is still easily reproducible, using nothing but MS software: On an XP machine, download Platform SDK (I'm using Server 2K3 R2, bu ...Show All

• Visual Basic filling a bitvector32 in a loop

  Dear all, I can fill a bitvector32 like this: Dim InBytes As Int32 dim i for i = 1 to 1000000 InBytes = i 'for example Dim InBitVector As New System.Collections.Specialized.BitVector32(InBytes) next i and then I can read out the individual bits (need this for a graphics conversion). Problem: this gets VERY slow, and I trailed that to the Dim InBitVector statement. Is there ANY way to assign an Int32 number to the InBitVector WITHOUT using the dim statement Thanks, Kees Perhaps it's wise to say what I want in the first place. Perhaps you guys even know a way to prevent extensive coding in solving this problem. I have 12-bit gray-val ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlWriterSettings and XmlDocument.CreateNavigator().AppendChild()

  Is it possible to associate an instance of XmlWriterSettings with the XmlWriter returned by XmlDocument.CreateNavigator().AppendChild() Tad It “would” but not the way you want. Wrapping reader doesn’t modify base reader you wrapping. It can add additional restrictions but can’t relax existing. In your case if xw requires XML to be Document (not a Fragment) setting conformanceLevel.Fragment on xw_new (wrapping reader) doesn’t help. Your attempt to write second root node would be accepted by xw_new but it will write it to its bas reader xw and this *** will throw exception. If you can explain what you want achieve I’d be able to suggest you a solution or workaround. I think that XPathNa ...Show All

• Visual C# What is the point of a virtual method?

  I have been working under the assumption that: 1) If I have a method that I don't want to define in the base class, I can use the abstract keyword in the base class, and all derived classes will require me to create their own copy of the method. 2) If I want to create a 'default' method for the base and most of the derived classes, I can define it as virtual in the base and then override it if needed in specific derived classes, using the override keyword. But I just noticed that I can override non-private methods (and even fields) using the new keyword.  So, why would I bother with the virtual keyword, if I can just override any method using new   It seems that I can use new with or without the ...Show All
