• Smart Device Development XML Serialization

  ok so i have another question about XML Serialization on the smartphone. i am using Windows Mobile 5. on a desktop app i can put the [Serializable] tag above a class so it can be serialized. I am guessing that the Compact Framework has changed this a little because that tag didn't wor on my smartphone app. For my smartphone app i used the [XmlRoot()] tag above the class. I don't even know if this is the correct tag to use. The reason i think that it is is because i am able to serialize the class . but i can't deserialize it . here is the class that i am tring to serialize using XML namespace Timed_SMS { [XmlRoot()] public class StringSMSDateTime { //stuff } } here is the method that serializes a List of a class StringSMSDateTi ...Show All

• .NET Development Trying to make Socket object be accessible in many threads

  I'm trying to compile a variant of the Server and Client example programs from the book "Visual C# 2005: How to Program, Second Edition". Basically, (my variant of) the program is a form that allows the user to be either server, or client, of a very simple chat program. I'm practicing the TCP protocol in C# programs, so I'm limiting myself to text network streams. In Server mode, you can (before a connection is attempted): -modify the port -Start listening In Client mode, you can (before a connection is attempted): -modify the port -modify the target IP address -start connection attempt In server mode, while connecting, a new thread is launched and will do these things: -create and construct a TcpListener object, then call its Start() meth ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why use ASP.NET Development Server to debug WCF Service?

  Is there any advantage in using the ASP.NET Development Server when debugging a WCF Service to be deployed in IIS over just using a Console application host Sorry, I was asking about debugging the basic functionality of the service during initial development. As you say, the service must always be tested in the host in which it will be deployed before deploying it to production. The ASP.NET Development Server also runs the service under the current user account. So does the ASP.NET Development Server offer anything that makes it a better initial debugging host environment than a console application host for a WCF Service destined for hosting in IIS ...Show All

• SQL Server Dimensions within Excel Pivot Table

  Hi I have a cube that has dimensions such as year, company, customer, statustext, employee etc. In the Browse in Analysis Manager - all the dimensions look fine. When I access the same cube from Excel after dragging and dropping the dimensions during analysis the dimensions in the Page section are not what is show when dragged to the row section. For example - i have a display Customer as rows, years as columns. I drag the statustext next to customer and shows customer. The filter in the page section for statustext is correct. I have tried moving the dimension back to the Field List and re-adding, refreshing from the cube makes no difference. The only solution I have been able to come up with is rebuild the Pivot table - not wh ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Need to learn c# for xna!

  Hello everyone, Just a quick question. I'm really excited about xna and running code on my 360. I'm currently working as a c++ programmer and I'd consider myself at an intermediate level, after finishing my degree and a year in industry. I'm currently teaching myself directX 9 and I want to get started on xna but unfortunately I have no knowledge of c#. I've extensive experience with java from college but I consider c++ to be my native language. Anyway to bring my slightly drink fueled rambling to an end, I've learned the only way to get to grips on a programming language is through small projects. In college we never fully implemented a windows GUI, they taught us swing on linux and I've played a bit with swt in eclipse. So for me it seem ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting the Name of the application from the process ID

  Hi , Is there any way to retrieve application name give an mudule name are a process name. Thank you . An application name is a relative term. Exactly what are you trying to retrieve An application name is technically the name of the main executable which would map to the process name. Alternatively the application name could be whatever shows up in the main window. You can get access to most of the process information through the System.Diagnostics.Process class. Use Process.GetProcessById to get a Process object for a given process identifier. Alternatively use Process.GetProcessByName to get the process by its process (executable) name. Once you have a Process object you can use the MainWindowTitle to get ...Show All

• Visual C# best way to read pipe delimited text file?

  I am trying to read in a pipe delimited file and do certain processing for each field. I was just wondering what the best way to strip out each field is - is there anything built in .Net that will easily allow me to do this Or do I just loop through and remove each field myself Also, would it be best to strip each field out into a dataset first, and then do the processing Or, do the processing while I am separating each field Or does it not matter Thanks! Saeed yes you can and this is what it does...you are inserting 1 row of data at a time in the datatable, so when you update the database it will update it with those rows. Now, to me, it seems as if you have less columns in SQL database or data ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to set the default size of a custom control in C#

  I altered this custom button for NETCF: http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/PocketPCColourBtn.asp For some reason, which I cannot figure out, when you add a new button to a form the default size is always 200 x 200 pixels. I've opened up all files in the entire package in Emacs and searched for the string "200". I got no relevant hits.
