• .NET Development networkstream read timeout problem

  Here's my situation, I have a data listener thread - connected via TcpClient. I would like it to read and return data as it becomes available - ideally, I would like it to block indefinitely on the read() and return if it either receives new data, or if the other end closes the connection. So far, I can implement all this correctly, and everything is great. However, the last condition is that if an outside force (ie. a user) requests that I stop processing, I want to be able to exit the blocked read() method. From what I can tell Thread.Interrupt() doesn't interrupt the read() - is that supposed to happen Thanks in advance... How about NetworkStream ns = ... [...] ns.Close(); That'll close the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Multiple Web-Test iterations not executed

  Hi all. I have noticed an issue with running a batch of (in my case coded) web tests repeatedly. I am running the RTM. I am attempting to run several tests multiple times in a row. I have set the localtestrun.testrunconfig Settings to default to 50 times. This config is selected as Active. When several tests are selected via the Test Manager Window, and I right-click to "Run checked tests", only the first test initiated is executed 50 times. Each subsequent test appears to only run once. As a workaround I have referenced a "false" datasource w. 50 rows and used the "once per datasource row" config setting instead. It works but requires updating each coded test with a datasource Aplogies if this ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 3D : One Graph, multiple viewport. How to deal with ModelVisual3D & Model3DGroup Limitation ?

  I'm having a hard time figuring out how to implement a graph of 3d node and represent this graph in multiple viewport. basically, ModelVisual3D offer me everything i need so i could inherit from it to create my GraphNode class but once a  ModelVisual3D is added to a viewport3d you can't add it to an other. I could inherit from Model3DGroup and figure out how to add a Content property but it is sealed and don't give hittest for nodes.   i have read Daniel Lehenbauer's Blog about this, but still can't find any way. http://blogs.msdn.com/danlehen/archive/2005/10/09/478923.aspx Thanks       Right, Model3DGroup is what you want because it can have ...Show All

Here i a sample of my code: [code] proc.StartInfo.FileName = "D:\\Program\\xyprogram.exe"; proc.StartInfo.Arguments = this.openFileDialog1.FileName; proc.Start(); [/code] This generates "xyprogram filename.txt" and it works.

• SQL Server How to generate reports from SSIS

  Hi All, I want to know how to generate a report from SSIS, for example, a report telling what has changed to a table. Thanks, TPK TPK1216 wrote: Hi All, I want to know how to generate a report from SSIS, for example, a report telling what has changed to a table. Thanks, TPK Phil is right, this is nothing to do with SSIS. If you want to audit change to a table then look to utilise DML & DDL triggers. If you want to *really* get into auditing changes to tables then check out Japer Smith's DDL Audit apps: http://www.sqldbatips.com/showarticle.asp ID=113 Really really good stuff.
