• Windows Networking Development Vista RTM can't open new socket.

  Started here . Due to (stupid) limitation in TCP/IP driver (10 half-open connection) sometimes Vista loosing ability to access an internet (open new socket for communication). It happens when user uses P2P applications (BitTorrent, eMule). But in could be caused even by too busy IIS. BUT all existing internet-connected programs (WLM, Skype) are running. PC even is accessible via RDP. No any entries in EventLog relating to any problem with sockets. "Event 4226" appears in absolutely different time, not in time when connection was blocked. Only reboot or (sometimes) "Network Connections" (and ICS) service restart can help to revive network back to live. This problem is accepted by many people (see post on Channel9). Any settings in registry ...Show All

• .NET Development Accessing Relational/Metadata with a Dynamic Schema

  I've been tasked with writing a client interface for a dynamic schema. All the tutorials/forum posts/books I've read assume that you're working with a pre-defined schema; that you can connect to your database while developing. For me this is not the case. I've setup a test database in SQL Server Express; populated all my foreign keys, descriptions, constraints, etc. I'm writing the client in C#. From everything I've read, there is no possible way for me to poll for that relational information at runtime from the database. Is this correct (i.e. I can't examine a populated DataSet and see the relations). Also, I can't seem to access any of the caption/description information either. I was hoping to use the field descriptions as tooltips. Ar ...Show All

• Windows Forms URGENT HELP - PRINT

  C# - Windows Application (VS 2005) - OLEDB --------- Hi, I have a network printer IP: 1.2.3.4 shared name \\ns\admin_print$ I want to use a button within a form to print out the details of the form (data is from database). When I clicked the button, it will print straight to the designated printer. I do not want to have a print dialog to select printer. I do not know how to start with the code. Can someone advise private void PrintReport() { } What ahmedilyas said, and also. I wouldn't recommend printing to a networkshare/IP directly (and I'm not sure it's even possible in .net). What if the user/computer etc shouldn't have permissions to access that printer or the printer isn't ins ...Show All

• Commerce Server Taxation data

  Hi, following on from my previous question: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1094829&SiteID=1 I'm looking for the most suitable place to store tax rates. I thought of creating a new profile object but don't think that is the most efficient place to store the data. The tax rates need to be easily accessible for my tax pipeline, without having a large performance hit. Thanks in advance Paul Hey Paul, I've been out with the flu this week and I haven't had time to wrap everything up. If you can send me an email (colin.bowern@officialcommunity.com) I'll give you a drop of the code to look over and I'll get it posted in full this weekend. Thanks, Colin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Long Numbers

  Hi, I would like to write applications, such as calculating pi, generating Mandelbrot Sets, factoring large numbers or prime hunts, which use extremely long numbers. I'm not talking about the measly 32 decimal places of the Decimal variable. I'm talking about two or three thousand decimal places. I've written a couple long number calculators which are, quite frankly, crude, cumbersome and slow. My approach has been to create arrays of byte characters, assign one digit to each byte, and then try to program the whole thing to handle addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; all the while trying to keep track of decimal places and polarities. It seems to me that there has to be a better way. Anyone know if it is possible to ...Show All
