• Windows Forms Remove Disable Textbox blinking cursor

  I would like to disable the blinking cursor from my textbox whenever it gets the focus. There is some code in there that shows how to do it. It looks like you have to do it through API calls and you have to make those calls pretty frequently. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms648398.aspx ...Show All

• Windows Networking Development How to Enable TCPIP.SYS in kernel Mode?

  Hi, everyone, I want to set the TCPIP.SYS BootStart to zero so it can enable in kernel mode. But it's always hang or raise BOSD. if the TCPIP does not start in BootStart mode, the WSK function of WskCaptureProviderNPI with WSK_INFINITE_WAIT will blocked. I also create a system thread to call WskCaptureProviderNPI with WSK_INFINITE_WAIT, I still can not create any WSK_SOCKET if tcpip's start value as 1. Does anyone know how to deal it Under 2000/XP with TDI, tcpip bootstart to zero is OK. Thanks in adavnced. Hello Stone, Both the WSK subsystem and the TCPIP transport will eventually start as the system boots up. You can wait for the WSK subsystem to come up by calling WskCaptureProviderNPI in a thread different from the one your Dri ...Show All

• SQL Server Stripping out numbers from a string

  Hi I have a field that starts with numbers and then has a description after if, eg. "123 This is the description for string 123" 1. How would I go about stripping out the first instance of number to leave the string as "This is the description for string 123" thanks. Bill From the problem described, we can't use any form of REPLACE, since that will take away all occurences of '123'.. We want to keep '123' in both parts, right Not take them away One way to split the string into two, is to simply substring it apart. The trick here is to figure out where to split - ie where is the end for the first substring, and where is the start for the 2nd substring It seems like this is what we ...Show All

• Visual C# compile in 1.1 framework

  I'm currently using VC# 2005 Express Edition. Is there a way to change the compile framework to 1.1 or is there a way to make 2.0 work when only 1.1 is installed There was a way to change the framework in the previous VC#, but it's not there in the new verions. Thanks in advance. VS2003 only supports .NET 1.1 VS2005 only supports .NET 2.0 (and .NET 3.0 with orcas add-in I think) You cannot convert .NET 2.0 to 1.1, its not backwards compatible but you can convert from .NET 1.1 -> .NET 2.0 The .NET Framework is tied with Visual Studio - it's "married" ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to choose the execution thread for a delegate?

  Hello. I wonder how to choose a specific execution thread for a delegate. With "simple" async delegate calls, we just know it will run on some thread of the thread pool, but not on which one. Control.Invoke(...) method allow to get the delegate running on the GUI thread of the control. The BackgroundWorker component matches it, I don't know how, to get back to the "main" thread (in opposition to the worker thread), whithout a reference to a control. Is there any way I can do something similar to the BackgroundWorker component, choosing the executing thread for a delegate without reference to a control Thanks... ;) Well, I've implemented my own "async" model, savin ...Show All

• .NET Development Deserialize - unable to find an Assembly .....

  Hi, I've got a really strange error. I'm using a fairly standard method to implement the IClonable interface, basically I serialize my object to a memory stream and then stream it back again. This all works fine in the .Net runtime environment and if I use a test application. However, I need to run as a COM control inside of an HTML page (long story, but I am embedding it in the home page pane of Outlook). Anyway everything works fine except this routine. It fails when trying to deserialize with "Assembly not found". I added some debug code to load the assembly dynamically and that all works fine. It can't be a version issue as I am serializing and deserializing the same object in the same method. I've traced where the framewor ...Show All
