• Visual C# using .Net Framework 2 with .Net 2003 IDE

  Hi I'm writnig a C# project that needs to use a serial port (COM). I've been looking for examples and I've found an example that uses System.IO.SerialPort but it only exists in .Net framework 2. I downloaded .Net framework 2 and I tried to reference System.dll instead of the default one, but i got an error message. Can i use .Net framework 2 with .Net 2003 IDE If i can will I be able to keep working with my older projects (framework 1.4) If not is there another solution to work with a serial port(COM) btw, i can't upgrade to .Net 2005 IDE. Thanks in advance for any answer. I've used this and have been happy with it, although I did have to change a little of the exception handling: http://msd ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Modifying Power Button Event

  Hi, This may sound wierd, but I've seen it done before, so I know it's possible. I would like to have something running (a console based program running in the background on Windows CE) that does it's own thing, but when the user presses the Power Button, it doesn't actually stop everything and go into suspend, but instead just turns the screen off (which I know how to do) and doesn't suspend. Does anyone know the way I can disable the power button sending hte suspend event and capture the power button key (VK_OFF) event to run my own code I can't seem to find anywhere how to capture a keypress event WITHOUT using a graphic window program. As my application runs in the background, I don't see the need for a windowed application. Cheer ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Cant install games in Vista RC1 (5600)

  Sorry guys. Not sure where else to put this. I need some help with installing software under windows Vista RC1 (build 5600) The games I have tried installing are Age Of Empires III and CivCity: Rome. Both get most of the way through the install before getting the following error: "Internal Error: 2350" Both games get the same error. From what i've read online this seems to be an error with windows installer itself relating to the installer being out of date and needing an upgrade. Obviously this isn't the case as Vista would have the latest windows installer version included. This is now proving very frustrating... Especially as i can't seem to install XP (the main board supplied drivers wont install) on my bran ...Show All

• .NET Development Binary serialization to NetworkStream doesn't work from remote computer

  Hello, My problem is that the following code works fine when the client and server application are on the same computer, but fails, if they are on separate ones. The thing seems going well until the 'Deserialize()' call. During debugging I see the client's IPEndPoint is correct, the NetStream's members look ok. Than at 'formatter.Deserialize(netStream);' call it simply dies. Not throwing exceptions, not exiting the application (especially this message-receiving is running in a separate thread, it can be that this thread exits only, but no error message at all...), but if I put a breakpoint on the next row, it never reaches it. So here comes the code: Socket connectedSock = null; connectedSock = recSock.Accept(); IPEndPoint client = (IPEnd ...Show All

• Windows Forms Has anyone made a native DirectX bootstrapper package yet?

  I'm looking for something to help deploy native DirectX that will simply download and install DirectX if it needs it. I was hoping someone had a bootstrapper package that would do just that. The managed one I've seen floating around doesn't download it on the fly, and is specifically for Managed DirectX. Any points in the right direction would be appreciated. Many thanks, Taylor I don't know of one, but if you put one together (say using Bootstrapper Manifest Generator: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx id=ddb4f08c-7d7c-4f44-a009-ea19fc812545 ) , you can post it at: http://www.gotdotnet.com/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx id=7e8e8cbd-b447-4a9d-a984-9379d1a0c190 ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Setting Window.Icon to Vista 256x256 PNG icon causes a FileFormatException

  If I set the Icon property to a Vista icon, I get a FileFormatException stating that the image format is unrecognized. If I try the same thing with an old Windows XP icon (without PNG compressed images) it works correctly. I simply cannot believe that WPF doesn't support Vista icons. Asbjorn When you save the icon file with a 256x256x32 size picture without PNG-compressing the picture, WPF seems to be able to cope with it. For example in Axialis Icon Studio you can rightclick the icon and disable the PNG-compression. I reckon there are other tools to do the same thing out there somewhere. ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET remoting - Updating main thread from a Backround worker thread...!

  Hi, Problem: I could not get the values of the remoting objects worker thread from the client application. The remotable object is actually a windows service. I have a client application with a statusbar, the statusbar has the timer event to show the status color in it based on some dynamic conditions. A windows service is running on the remote machine which internally calls a worker thread to process some pendingwork items. I access the windows service functions using client-activated remoting object. I could get all the functionalites of the remote object. The worker thread will be alive for ever to monitor the pending tasks. When there are background(pending) work I am updating a property bool varible in the main thread to ...Show All

• SQL Server stripping decimal data from an nvarchar value...

  I have a table that contains an nvarchar column of data. The data is actually a monetary value; sometimes with a decimal point sometimes without. My problem is that I need to strip the decimal portion of the string if it exists. From a select statement I can use: SUBSTRING ( DW_OBP_ORD_TMP_IC . VALUE , 1 , LEN ( VALUE )-( LEN ( VALUE )- CHARINDEX ( '.' , DW_OBP_ORD_TMP_IC . VALUE ) if a decimal point exists. But if one does not the CharIndex comes back 0 and my equation does not work correctly. I need to pull the data from the table, along with many other fields. How do I do this without using a cursor I have millions of rows so need a solution that will be quick. thanks in advance, Marilyn ...Show All
