• Visual Studio Sandcastle: Problems with HTML display in Firefox

  I just noticed that the Prototype-style HTML generated by the September CTP of Sandcastle does not display properly in the Firefox browser. While not a problem when building the CHM or HxS versions of the documentation; it is a problem when trying to create a web-deployable version of the documentation using using Eric Woodruff's GUI. I haven't tried the VS2005 style to see if it has the same issues. Given that the ability to post generated documentation to the web is a deployment option that seems to be of interest to multiple parties, it would be nice if more than just IE was supported. — Eric — Did you download and apply the SCPresentationPatch.zip file that went along with the last release of ...Show All

• .NET Development Possible Problem With Sockets 2.0 Implementation in .NET 2 with McAfee Software?

  McAfee (Privacy Filter and Personal Firewall) installs it's own TCP/IP driver layer. This new driver does not seem to support sockets correctly. When attempting to connect to a remote server IPv4 TCP/IP using the Async BeginConnect you get "not supported on this object type" (unistall the Mcafee driver and it all works fine). If you do a sync connect using Connect the connection is established . However, if you then try to do an async send after connecting you don't just get an exception you get a full blown unmanaged general protection fault. This seems to be a pretty big problem has anyone else out there experienced it or maybe got a work around To answer your previous question, I don't know ...Show All
