• .NET Development HttpWebResponse eratic results

  I am trying to use HttpWebRequest and HttpWebresponse, but  constantly get erratic results.

• Smart Device Development Trouble with Threading on Motorola Q Smartphone

  I'm having some trouble with threading on a Motorola Q Smartphone which runs WM5 as you know. I have a C# program that I've been running under XP quite successfully. When I recompile it (with a different UI of course) for the Q, the threads to not start. Here's a code snippet... _thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Receiver)); _thread.Start(); which is executed in the main thread and where Receiver is: private void Receiver() { ... } I have some debug output that dumps messages to a text box on the display. The message dumped by the thread when it first starts never makes it to the display. Any ideas why this simple code would work under XP but not on a Q Thanks, FM Thanks ...Show All

• Windows Forms Arrow Keys don't move controls in custom forms designer

  Hello, I have a custom forms designer. I've implemented a menu command service like so MenuCommandServiceImpl mcsi = new MenuCommandServiceImpl (); host.AddService( typeof ( IMenuCommandService ), mcsi); MenuCommandServiceImpl is derived from IMenuCommandService. I "think" that the controls are supposed to move when the arrow keys are pressed via the MenuCommands .KeyMoveUp etc. Commands. I've added those commands to my MenuCommand class, but nothing. In all my searching around, I think that the DesignSurface.View is stealing the key press events for the Arrow keys, and should be the one to fire the correct events or preferably move the controls. Have I added the wrong service or is it possibly ...Show All

• SQL Server R

  How do i replace that character in a derived column Some rows have that character in one or more columns. If i just write this column == "" Unknown : column where the character is inside "" (can't write it here) the task will just succes without ever doing anything. The output says something like "the dataflow task had no tasks.....", which seems like a bug. hmm and if it's not a unicode character Try putting this in a derived comlumn REPLACE(TRIM(TXT)," ","") the task will then complete with this in the output.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WCF Service Times Out

  I have a WCF Service that is hosted in IIS. I have a client ASP.Net web application that is accessing this service. I was able to set up a web reference to the service, have access to the proxy in code (including the methods of the service), but when I call a method the application times out. I have no problem accessing the service and recieving a timely response when the client is an application other than a web application. Also, for web applications, there is no option to add a service reference like there is for lets say a windows forms application, is this correct.

• Visual Studio Team System Branch\Delete Checkin causes fileName collisions

  Hi, We are having a problem with TFS source control where a dev performed a branch, did not check the branch in, deleted the branch, and then checked in the pending changes. So we can see the problem here. A branch that was never comitted was deleted. I dont think TFS should allw this kind of operation but it did happen. So now the the dev has tried to recreate the branch. When doing so he is prompted to resolve the naming conflicts for all of the files that ha branched. He has 2 options. Undo local changes and something else. Neither option works and the branch can not be recreated because the conflicts can never be resolved. Is there anyway to make this work thanks. He can use tf undelet ...Show All
