• .NET Development Can't authenticate against non-Microsoft LDAP server.

  Hello VB.NET gurus! I'm having a miserable time authenticating against a Novell LDAP server at a university. The code (below) that I use works GREAT against my SBS 2003 server. Does anyone have a clue as to as to what I'm missing Thank you for your time!!! My contact at the university pulled up some log of this query and stated that I keep doing a 'non-authenticated bind' with this code. This works: Dim path As String = "LDAP://x.x.x.x/DC=a,DC=local" Dim username As String = "CN=PersonName,OU=SBSUsers,OU=Users,OU=Gap,DC=a,DC=local" ' This doesn't work: 'Dim path As String = LDAP://x.x.x.x/o=wcslc ' Dim username As String = "cn=PersonName,ou=campus,o=wcslc" ...Show All

• Visual Studio Installation failed, MDAC 2.8, SP1, access is denied

  Tried to install VS2005 on a Win2000 Pro. PC, but got the error when it was installing MDAC 2.8 SP1 and the whole process stopped. Any idea and solutions Thanks Can you please try to run mdac_typ.exe directly from the folder \wcu\mdac28\ on your VS 2005 installation disc and see what kind of error is listed there Also, the subject line of this thread states that you are getting access denied errors.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Getting started example needed

  How do I draw a 2d box on the screen Or even better a 2d circle. I guess I should use DrawPrimitives but a little example would be nice.. After that I would like to draw some text, do I need to create a bitmapped font for that and draw using sprites / Erik Thanks for the link, Greg. I wrote a little class for rendering lines (2d,3d), the BoundingBox and BoundingSphere from the XNA framework : http://markus.rubicon-net.de/code/ VectorRenderer.cs, it just needs a reference to the GraphicsDevice and the view-projection matrix of your scene. ...Show All

• .NET Development Update DataSet with the values of the inserted row

  Hey, First of all i work with an access database. In my program i made an DataAdapter with retrieves rows from the database from two tables(through an inner join). Because the dataset linked to this DataAdapter is represented in a datagridview i also wrote insert, delete and update commands. The way i solved the insert in two tables is with an transaction. In the RowUpdating event of the DataAdapter i create an transaction and manually insert the row in one of the tables. The insertcommand of the dataadapter will handle the insert in the other table. In the RowUpdated event of the dataadapter i commit the transaction. This works all fine, except for the fact that some values in the datagrid are left empty because then the defa ...Show All

• Visual Basic Integrating .Net into a VB6 client

  Hello I have a question about whats the best way to integrate a .Net application into an "old" VB6 application. The current problem is that we need to rewrite "parts" of the application and need to incorperate those "parts" into an old legacy System... This system is written in VB6 and the goal would be to make this possible with the smallest amount of changes to the VB6 code. I was thinking about creating a plugin or something like that which would have its own form or controls and only require a very "minimalistic interface" (like show()) Are there any patterns which I should take a closer look at or has anyone a suggestion on what would work best The "part" of the system will ...Show All

  Hello, i need a key-value pair list sorted by adding sequence like a collection. But i see that the Dictionary Class, the HashTable Class, the Sorted List Class seem not to do that.

I want to have a ordered list but not a sorted list. So my question is again: Is the old good collection the only list that is sorted in the sequence elements where added ...Show All
