• .NET Development Events over remoting.

  Hi, my client subscribes to an event on my remoting server, and at the point at which suscribers are to be notified I get: 'A connection failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond' Any ideas This one is truly killing me. Thanks, Tamim. The guy who wrote the book on remoting has a FAQ at http://www.thinktecture.com/Resources/RemotingFAQ/RemotingUseCases.html This clearly states, "don't use events with remoting" I think it has to do with the fact that you are turning your client into a server, with the remoting server trying to activate the object on the client. It could be ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Can't instrument DLL because of 3rd party library w/o debug symbols.

  I'm trying to instrument a DLL for performance profiling, but the instrumentation process fails with messages as shown below. Since the messages refer to code in a third-party library, I'm not able to provide debug information, and I'm also not particularly interested in profiling that code anyway. Is there a way to exclude that code from instrumentation so that I can work with the rest of the DLL Do I have to exclude each individual function exported from the library with the vsinstr /exclude switch or something Thanks, Eric Warning VSP2005 : Internal Instrumentation Error: The object '\dev\client\code\cpp\ThirdParty\lib\hook.lib(Hook_exp.obj)' was built without debug information.

• Visual Studio The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode

  I have only one window open and it is a vb document. I never use design mode for anything (with exception to SOME windows GUI interfaces... but none in this project). IF I am not in design mode... and ONLY use text editors... how can I get this message: The expression cannot be evaluated while in design mode. Is this a MSFT BUG or is there a way to be in design mode without actually using the designer, attempting to engage it, or actually using anything non-text to write a program I was unaware of any modes... never messed with it (I assume you are not reffering to the design vew/source view). Can you point me to where I might identify if that is the problem / correct it if needed (E.G menu option / toolbar / etc ) I have s ...Show All

• Gadgets Silently running an external program from a gadget

  Is there any way to run a program silently from a gadget and collect its output The only way I know of for running a porgram is System.Shell.execute, but this flashes the cmd window quickly (this is a CLI exe) and I don't see a way to get the output of the program. I am currently accomplishing the same thing by using Wscript and objShell.Run, sending the output to a text file, and then reading the text file. Just wondering if there is a better way. Does jscript allow you to launch a program silently Try this var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); var exec = WshShell.Exec(System.Gadget.path + " \\ myapp.exe"); var outputData = exec.StdOut.ReadAll(); i hope this hel ...Show All

• .NET Development Compression of SOAP message in web service

  I'm trying to get the SOAP messages from my web service compressed to reduce the data size when send to the client. Most examples I found are using external GZip libraries, but of course from .NET 2 it is possible to use GZipStream. This is what I have so far: [ AttributeUsage ( AttributeTargets .Method)] public class CompressionSoapExtensionAttribute : SoapExtensionAttribute { private int priority; public override Type ExtensionType { get { return typeof ( CompressionSoapExtension ); } } public override int Priority { get { return priority; } set { priority = value ; } } } public class CompressionSoapExtension : SoapExtension { Stream oldStream; Stream newStream; ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is there a way to pause/resume Game.GameTime?

  Hi, I want to pause my game when Back is pressed. I looked to SpaceWar for ideas -- the Information screen even claims that the Back button pauses the game -- but the Back button does nothing. Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game seems to distinguish between "RealTime" and "GameTime" -- but I don't see a way to pause/resume the latter. Of course I could just not call Update when I'm "paused", but then as soon as I "resume," ElapsedTime would be some huge amount, wouldn't it Thanks for any suggestions... -Mike What I've started to implement is a GameStateManager class that's basically a stack of (custom) Window objects.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Use of RegistryKey

  I have been looking in the forums for info on RegistryKey and found lots of good info on read/creating/deleting/etc. My question is very basic...Can I use Registry Keys to store flags that one program sets and another reads (at some subsequent time). I basically want to know if a user interface program has set a flag that other programs read and execute some functions based on it. Note that these are not programs running simulataineously, but will query this flag later on. Thnx Well what do you know! ! ! I did use My.Computer.Registry and there is a trick You just can’t put data init. You have to use the CreateSubKey Method. Also please note that this Board’s editor wraps line irresp ...Show All
