• Visual C++ socket read return -1 although the actual result has arrived

  I'm using windows sockets. In that I'm receiving a message. The read operation returns -1 although the actual result arrived. If the read operation returns -1 I'm waiting for sometime (Sleep(2000)) and then read again. In the second time read operation succeeds. What can cause a situation like this Thanks This has very little to do with the C++ language. I would suggest you post this question in the Win32 newsgroups here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/ Thanks. Brian (OTP) ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Problems with replication of Active Directory password change to Sharepoint 2003

  Hi, we have a problem when some users change their password Sharepoint 2003 does not replicate the password from Active Directory. And the username/password dialogbox comes up. Is there a workaround for this problem Anyone else have the same problem This is the case for around 10 users now. And the only way to make sharepoint is setting the password back to the old password. Appreciate help! Thanks, Kjetil Tveit Hi Kjetil, Are you using SPS2003 or WSS 2.0 (with AD auto creation mode ).

• Visual Studio Express Editions F1 help and SDK help not very helpfull

  I tried to look for F1 help for a words "Combobox" and so on. Normal answer I get is that I dont have online help available. It is and enabled, and I've learnt to live with that feature. The reason I had to write, and this is a bit off topic, sorry, is that when I tried searching in local sdk documentation, it uses same favorites as Internet Explorer. That logic is new to me. My messy internet bookmarks and programming topics are quite different. After searching in MSDN online I got some answers. That part is ok. But the sdk help makes me wonder. Regards Leif ...Show All

• Visual Basic COM+ Component registration for VB6 dll

  Hi, I am having a dll that forms a part of a COM+ application. I have changed a piece of code and not touched any of the method signatures, hoping not to destroy the compatability. I have replaced the existing dll with my new one and restarted IIS and COM+ services that use this dll. Should i have to register the dll again or will it work (should it work ) Please respond as this is under a hot discussion with my team.. Many Thanks and Best Regards, Franklin This is a tricky issue: theoretically if you do not change any public contracts (this includes method signatures, type names, etc) then you can replace the DLL with the new one and it should work. It's best to test this in a closed en ...Show All

• SQL Server Which Replication Topology?

  Folks, Help me figure this out once and for all! We have three geographically dispersed offices, each with their own local SQL Server. We are creating a DB application (SQL Server 2005) for our primary business (insurance) and expect to have one database with replicas on the other servers. (There is no "primary" or home server -- each of the local replicas/servers are peers.) Users in each office will update records in the local replica of the database for clients principally served out of that office. All data, however, must appear on all replicas for business intelligence purposes. In addition, there will be some (though limited) amount of record upating in one office for clients principally served out of another office. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Sharing data between processes

  I need a easy way to communicate data between two exe programs that are both written in VB.net. The two programs will be running on a single system. I can make the process method work within VB.net but how can I communicate information between the two programs. The type of information that needs to be shared is about 50 string variables that each process would be modifying over a very short amount of time and sending to back and forth between each of the processes. I cannot use the client / server format with streams due to a DLL problem from a third party vendor that must be included within one of the processes. Any help would be appriciated. You should take a look at .NET Remoting. T ...Show All

• Windows Forms Copying setup projects - can't use copy

  I have a fairly simple setup project (deploys a native C++ application and service). Currently it is written for English. Now I need to create packages for 10 other languages. I thought it would be as simple as copying the project to a new name, loading it into VS.NET and changing the language. I wish to preserve everything in my original project, including file names, registry modifications, setup UI pages, etc. All I want to do is change the language so the setup UI would show up in a new language. My original project was proj1-en. I copy it to proj1-de and add it to my vs solution. However when I try to compile proj1-de (regardless if I change the language to German or not) I get: ERROR: Unable to update the dependencies of the ...Show All
