  How to get MAC address of client machine using C# Not looking for remote machine MAC Address. Hi Padam, The following hyperlink possesses a c # code snippet that reveals all details pertaining to your network interfaces on the local machine only along with it's description. Ideally if you have installed a single nic on your machine, you should get only one mac address as an output for this function, since mac addresses are associated only with nics & other hardware devices that communicate on a network. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.networkinformation.physicaladdress.aspx If you are going to use this code snippet in your program, then you need to put an if -- else condition checking for the length ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WS-AT problem: The MSDTC transaction manager's WS-AtomicTransaction protocol service is disabled

• .NET Development Class derived from CollectionBase serialization problem

  Hello, I have a class that is derived from System.Collections.CollectionBase It holds an array of a specific class. I am able to serialize the class no problem with XMLTextWriter. Now for the problem. I have added a property to the class that I want serialized. The problem is that when I serialize it out, it will not serialize that property. All of the elements in the array get serialized but not the additional property. I have tried adding the XMLElement and the XMLArrayItem atributes to the property in attempts to get it to go out with no luck. The class itself has no XML attributes only [Serializable] What am I missing Thanks Ken Here is a code sample of a c ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I create a DTS package to update a table with data from an Excel spreadsheet?

  Every month a client sends a spreadsheet with data which we use to update matching rows in a table in the database. I want to automate this using a DTS package but am having quite a bit of trouble accomplishing what I think should be trivial task. I've been attempting to use a Transform Data Task with a modification lookup but I just keep inserting the rows from the source excel spreadsheet in to the existing destination table without ever modifying the existing data. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated as to a best practice approach. How do you tell the DTS package how to find the records to update How do you tell it the connection between the spreadsheet columns and the table columns Basicall ...Show All

• .NET Development How to Identify .NET (CLR) Based Apps?

  @Everybody, Hello, -Sorry for asking question like this, but is there any way for us to know whether a specific app using CLR or not (native) Yes, we can review their System Requirements; but as time goes on, many Windows setups will have .NET Framework installed by default (especially Vista), so, more app will not bundle nor states the requirement for .NET anymore. Can Dependency Walker do this -BTW, are MS Office 2007 are .NET apps I thought like that because Accounting Expresss 2007 requires it. Is the same goes for Vista apps binary I tried to run some from RC2 on WinXP SP2, but got error ".... is not a valid Win32 app..." (even Notepad.exe!). -Hope for detailed replies, thanks.

• SQL Server DB index performance

  I'm not an index expert, but I think I need help from one. I have a table with 4.9 million rows. Its PK is a composite key on 2 unique FLOAT columns. The floats are actually long ints; there are no decimals. The 2 fields are a LOW and a HIGH, and together they define a unique numeric range. Given a number input, I need to retrieve THE row where the input number falls within that row's LOW & HIGH range. Here's essentially what I'm doing: SELECT * FROM theTable WHERE @inputNumber BETWEEN RangeLow AND RangeHigh My question is on the best way to do the indexes -- right now I'm getting results, but the query takes a good 15 seconds. Isn't there a way to make such a search faster, even though there are tons of rows ...Show All

• Smart Device Development skipping among controls of form

  when navigate through controls that placed on Form (or panel), the ‘next’ of the last placed control is the first control that placed on the form (with the assumption that we keep the tab order..), my question how can I change the form behaviors that when last control is focused, this skipping will not take place (the only way to move will be up), like all the native menus of the WM OS. thanks, Oren I would suggest rearranging controls so control on the top can get focus. E.g. replace label with LinkLabel or put another text box on top. ...Show All
