• Smart Device Development Will Upgrading Target Platform change anything?

  I've developed a managed application for Pocket PC 2003. The new requirement says that it should work on Pocket PC 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC. I've checked it on an emulator so far, and the application compiled for Pocket PC 2003 works fine on WM 5.0. My question is if there would be any benefit if there was a separate compilation for WM 5.0 (I don't want to use anything specific for WM5.0) Thanks, WM 5.0 PPC is backward compatible with PPC 2003, so there's no need for you to do that unless you're planning to use WM 5.0 specific features. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Localizing (Globalizing) the ReportViewer Control itself

  There is already a thread discussing the localization aspects of the reports itself. I'm interested in understanding how to localize the ReportViewer control itself (e.g. changing the ToolTip Texts to German, the labels in the control to German etc.) TIA Juergen Hi Juergen, You can implement the interface Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms. IReportViewerMessages Visual Studio has this nice feature so that when you type something like: class ReportViewerMessages : IReportViewerMessages   it offers to implement all methods if you press the tab key. Once you've made every method in this class return a localized string you can set the reportviewer to use your class: myReportViewer.Messages = new ReportViewerMess ...Show All

• Visual C# Moving a byte array between C# and C++

  Hi Guys, hope you can help. I am currently writing a managed C++ wrapper to interface with some unmanaged C++ code so I can utilise the code in C#. Everything is working absolutely fine except I need to be able to pass in a managed buffer from C# in a C++ function, modify the buffer in the function and pass the results back to C#. I currently have the following: C++ code: public : void Play(System::Byte buffer[]) { char buffer2[44100]; // Fill the unmanaged buffer pSidplay2->play(buffer2, 44100); //buffer = buffer2*; // Copy the unmanaged data into the managed buffer for (int i = 0; i < 44100; i++) { buffer = buffer2 ; } } C# code: private void button1_Click(object sender, ...Show All

• Visual C# Newline problem with running Cmd.exe in a process

  Hi, I'm trying to run a CHDIR command in a cmd.exe process. The command fails to chnage directory because of the newline characters thrown to the end of the string... i.e. chdir d:\\Folder2\r\n\r\n Is there a way to stop the streamwriter from insert \r\n\r\n This doesn't happen in it's VB equivalent.

• Visual Basic Tough one, Share a Socket?

  Hello All, I have an off the shelf Windows app that is capable of calling a dll. Actually it calls a C++ wrapper which calls my VB.NET dll ( a VB.NET function ) and all is working fine. The VB.NET dll is designed to open a socket to a server and send messages using System.Net.Sockets. The VB.NET dll also starts a timer to send regular messages to the server in order to keep the socket open and displays a simple UI to handle additional messages that the user might want to send. All this is working fine...but here comes the problem. When the Windows app wants to send more messages it calls the dll that has previously created the UI and opened the socket that is now sending regular messages. That is to say the socket is already open an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Placeholders for Menus

  Can you attach a placeholder to a menu that displays any controls you like What I mean is say you want a menuitem to have more than just a textbox for example. Maybe you want it to have a textbox, checkboxes and a maybe a dropdown too, all in the one menuitem. Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear, I want lots of controls in a single menuitem, I used to be able to do it in vb6 with a control I got from vbAccelerator. It had support for placeholders (basically picture boxes that could hold other controls). I was just wondering if anyone has managed to put more than one control in a single menuitem. ...Show All

• .NET Development Change Existing WebServices to use HTTPS

  I have an existing N-tier application that has a data access layer, business layer and web UI layer. They all communicate via xml web services and run as separate sites. So, my webUI has a web reference to the business layer something like http://mybllserver/bll.asmx and my business layer has a web reference to the data access layer something like http://mydalserver/dal.asmx . The sites are C#/ASP.NET 2.0 and run on Windows 2003/IIS 6.0. This is an internal, test-only application. Everything works just fine, as expected. However, we would like to now change all services to utilize SSL. We have successfully installed SSL certs (self-made so not fully-trusted) on the various servers and all service URLS work via https through a web brows ...Show All
