    - Desktop will not display shortcuts I down loaded and installed iTunes update. Noted that it took a long time to "finalize". When finished iTunes shortcut had disapeared. When I restarted computer all shortcuts were gone from desktop. Restore function will not restore to any point prior to install. Shortcuts sent to desktop do not appear. Any ideas? -- RFP Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228633

    - Server Replication Software: What are folks using? It's that time of the year again where we get annoyed with our internal product and hope to find something newer and better out there. Alas, we usually don't find anything. The scenario: We use a home-grown .net CMS product that we've built in a staging/live server enviornment. We have one staging server and 2 live, load-balanced servers. Most web content is in the DB and migrated in a workflow manner from staging to the public. However, documents and images need to be replicated via the filesystem. We've been using repliweb for years. And it works. Usually. But it's termpemental, and can often go down seemingly randomly. The bigger issue we have is its rather obtuse interface. Is anyone familiar/using any other server replication software? Any recommendations? Any newer products out there? -Darrel Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228624

    - SmtpClient.UseDefaultCredentials does not work in Authenticated SM I use SmtpClient to send email in my program, and I set the UserDefaultCredentials to true to use the logged on user's credentials. However it doesn't work on authenticated SMTP server. It will throws exception saying 'System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.7.3 Client was not authenticated' However if I set UserDefaultCredentials to false and hard-coded my login and password for SmtpClient.Credentials, it works. It seems as if the UseDefaultCredentials does not set loggon user's credentials correctly. Any help would really appreciated. Vik Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228623

    - CLR doesn't do warm start? Hi, As this article (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163655.aspx) mentions, there is a cold and warm start time for managed apps. I'm running a few .net 2.0 winforms apps on my desktop (XP) and until last week, I had the expected cold followed by warm time. Now, my cold and "warm" times are about identical. I don't know what changed. It could be something else that's running in memory and being a hog, but I'm wondering if there is some CLR switch that says "disable warm starts" that I can look at?

    - DLLs and Embedded Resources Hi, I was designing an application which is intended to run in the background, and I was wondering about how I should load my resources to reduce the memory footprint. I was thinking of keeping all the embedded resources in a DLL, so that they only get loaded when needed. So my question is this: if your application references a library, does the library get loaded into memory at startup, or only when its used? There really isn't much point in keeping the resources seperate otherwise, since it complicates the code slightly. Thanks for your help. Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228569

    - Typed datasets and table table adapters components not showing in Typed datasets and table table adapters components not showing in Toolbox Hi, I have a solution with several projects. One project contains datasets with table adapters. When I opened a usercontrol in design mode, it used to have all datasets and tableadapters in toolbox, under a tab name with the name of the datasets project However, I had to upgrate to a new hdd, and did a clean Windows install, with VS2005, etc Now, when I open te solution and open a usercontrol in designer, I see only the other user controls, but no datasets or table adapters as I used to have before. Sometimes I see a tab with the name of the datasets project, but on it there is a text telling "There are no usable controls in this group" What happend? I mention, on old HDD I had instaled VS2003 and VS2005, on new one I have only VS2005 and installed VS2008 express, but then I removed it (as I thought maybe it caused the issue). I even uninstalled and reinstalled VS 2005, with no luck. Can anyone helo me with this? Thank you Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228563

    - Framework installation I'm not sure if this should go in FAQs or general. I have a home network with a primary domain controller running Windows 2000 Server. It has .NET framework v 1.1 on it, and IIS 5 (probably 5.0). I also have a workstation running XP Pro, Visual Studio 2005 with .NET framework 2.0, and IIS 5.1 I have a web application I've developed there, and I'm trying to install it on the server. When I try to run it on server, it immediately throws an exception trying to read the web.config file, saying it doesn't recognize the <connectionstring> element. So I figure, Okay, it's running framework v1.1, that's probably a v2.0 thing. So I download the Framework 2.0 Redistributable from the Microsoft website, and install it on the server, including running the SP1 update. But it doesn't seem to be installed. There's now a v2_0 folder in the \Winnt\Microsoft.Net\Framework directory tree, but IIS is still runing v1.1 (as evidenced by the Version information when it throws the exception). Also, when I run administrative tools on the workstation, there's a "Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 configuration" MSC, as well as one for v1.1 and v1.0. Running administrative tools on the server still only has the v1.1 configuration tool, and a search of the whole disk for .MSC files does not turn up a 2.0 configuration MSC. So what do I need to do to make sure 2.0 is properly installed, and specifically, to get IIS to use it? Thanks for any help. Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228535

    - Diagnostic "pins" with .NET? Hi all, Just a quick question as I'm not entirely certain what phrase to google for as all attempts so far have failed to illicit anything useful, and the best anaology I can think of comes from hardware :-) I'm curious as to whether there's some form of API in .NET that's the software equivalent of diagnostic pins on a circuit board? Essentially I'm want to have a bucket I can throw diagnostic message into in a fire-and-forget method, and not care whether there's something looking at the bucket (connected to the pin) or not. If nothing's listening, the message gets forgotten about. Ideally it needs to be lightweight with little latency -- the intention is to use the 'pin' as a performance diagnostic, so in normal situations, nothing would be connected. If there are problems, then we can attach to the pin and read timestamp messages. An event queue would be no good: queue would eventually fill-up and hang the code, unless there was extra logic in the code to clean the queue up, which could start getting messy. Performance counters won't really work either as that then requires a large chunk of logic to keep track of individual entities in order to create an "average latency" counter. Essentially it's analogous to attaching an oscilloscope to a circuit board and looking at the latency of stuff between two pins on a chip, etc. I suppose shared memory might be one possible solution, but I understand there's no CLR wrappers for shared memory (excluding third party extensions). If anyone's got ideas or pointers, I'd be grateful to hear them. Cheers, Chris Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228529

    - MSI Packages and XML Configuaration Files Hi, I have a Solution File which has many projects which has many config files. My current config files have my development environment details. Each time we buld an MSI we change these settings to be the production server details. More times these are set incorrectly as there are so many settings in each file. What I would like is to have a copy of the live config files in VSS or some other location so that these are the config files taht are used when building an MSI and not the ones in my projects that have the development environment details. This way there are no changes required and hence no chance of a developer inputting the wrong details. Anyone know how I can do this or any other suggestions. Thanks in Advance.

As you can see, middle layer, WCF server, is suppose to separate database from potentially untrusted ASP server. To provide security to web server - WCF server (called AppServer) connection and make it as fast, as possible, we decided to use net.tcp protocol/binding for communication. As we know, this protocol is encrypted as default. One can choose either Windows Authentication, user/pass or certificates. User/Pass is good... but it has no use for package level encryption (one should still provide some way to encrypt package, usually by X509 certificate). Windows authentication can't be used, as target company has no windows domain server. Certificates are the only option. After 2 days of struggle with certificates (multiple "how to" pages and blogs, all showing different way how to do it, or how generate certificate for development use, usually doesn't working or suitable only for solutions where both server and client are on the same machine) I figured out how to do it (thanks MitchDanny for this post: http://notgartner.wordpress.com/2007/09/06/using-certificate-based-authentication-and-protection-with-windows-communication-foundation-wcf/ ). Well, it almost works. I switched certificate related errors to a different ones. Whole solution was working fine, without certificates, on one machine. Now it acts weird (still on one machine). One test method works, the other, much more important, throws infamous "The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings`1+ClientSecurityDuplexSessionChannel[System.ServiceModel.Channels.IDuplexSessionChannel], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state" Certificates generated using command lines: makecert.exe -pe -ss My -sr LocalMachine -a sha1 -sky exchange -n CN=ServerSide makecert.exe -pe -ss My -sr LocalMachine -a sha1 -sky exchange -n CN=ClientSide then exported and imported to "Trusted People" storage, under "Local Machine" registry.

If I invoke client.HelloWorld() method, I get "Hello World!", as I was suppose to. But whenever I invoke either client.GetData() or client.GetDataAsXml(), it is invoked on server side (I get server debug console message), but nothing is returned and exception is thrown on client side. Exception: The communication object, System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings`1+ClientSecurityDuplexSessionChannel[System.ServiceModel.Channels.IDuplexSessionChannel], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state I guess, everyone who had anything to do with WCF knows this exception. It covers any useful data, showing nothing (inner exception is empty, of course). I guess, it has to do something with security (general SecuritySessionClientSettings class), but maybe I missed something (like some special attributes in contract or some ServiceContractAttribute or OperationContractAttribute parameters). If anybody had such a situation and found a solution, please, share it with me (and others seeking help). -- WolfMoon Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228526

    - Architecture decision - should components communicate via the DB? I have decided on a basic architechture to quickly refactor two processing functions of my winforms application until we get the chance to rewrite it. Basically it will consist of 2 applications:- 1. A service running on the server to take jobs from a queue table in a SQL database, perform the job (could be 1 minute or up to an hour or more) and write the results back to the database. 2. A .NET web application to submit the job requests into the queue table. (Initially a combo box with a button marked "Process".) One thing we hope to achieve with this is I would like to keep the door open to have multiple servers all processing simultaneously should that become necessary (as we hope it will!). Another thing is decoupling of the components - eg the server crashes and it (or other servers) will continue to process jobs on restart as they are queued safely in the database, while clients can continue to submit jobs and perform other work. My question is, should I worry about giving feedback to the client application and if so how? Two alternatives with minimal overheads might be 1. Email the client to say "Your job has completed". 2. Write progress info to the database for the web app to pickup and display back to the client Given the jobs could run a long time and the user may just wish to close the browser and move on, is it worth writing code (and processing overhead) to inform him of progress with one of the one minute type jobs? Your thoughts on this question or the architecture decisions in general would be much appreciated. cheers, Paul. Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228511

    - App.Config - Saving Configuration Error Hello, I have been searching the net, MSDN, google groups and can't seem to find anything about what is happening to me. I have developed a application using VB.Net 2.0 and deploy it using ClickOnce over a private network. I use AppSettings.Get("") to retrieve values form my app.config and I use AppSettigns.Settigns("").value = value to set values. This has been working fine for a long time (10 months). All of a sudden I am now coming across errors when I try to save the configuration. This is how I save it: Dim config As Configuration = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None) config.AppSettings.Settings("").Value = newValue '9-12 more settings set ' Save app.Config file config.Save(ConfigurationSaveMode.Full, True) When I call this method I get a "An extension of name 'clientCredentials' already appears.. Extension names must be unique... line 237" At line 237 is information that is not in my normal app.Config file when i develop. My Config file is less that 100 lines. It seems the .net framework uses the app.Config for it's own settings also. The 'clientCredentials' is found in a section below my "AppSettings" in a tag <system.serviceModel> <extensions> <behaviorExtensions> <add name='clientCredentionsl.....> I have no idea where this came form or why it would try to create a send one or what but I have no idea what to do or proceed. Any help would be appreciated, Jordon Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228509

    - How is this done? There are a few apps out that allow a user to mouseover a webpage and the app highlights the portion (be it a DIV, cell, table, whatever) of the webpage that the mouse is over by placing a colored box around it and allows the user to select this portion. One such app is an addon for Firefox called clipmarks. You can see a demo at http://clipmarks.com/how-to-clip/. How would I do the same thing in .Net, using the webcontrol? Do I need a special webcontrol? jim Tag: .NET VB WinForms reference to the class Tag: 228480

Hi,

In C++, if there's a class named clsMyForm, which has a static
("shared" in VB.NET) member variable named "Total" , and an instance
(object) of the class named oMyForm, the static member of the class,
can be referenced thru the instance as follows:
oMyForm::clsMyForm.Total

In VB .NET, if I have a Windows Form class named clsMyForm, which has
a shared member variable named "Total" , and an instance of the class
named oMyForm, how do I reference the shared members of the class thru
the instance oMyForm?

Thanks in advance,

Rick

Regardless of whether you *can* do this in VB.NET (which I believe you
can, although these days it might produce a warning) it's a bad idea.

It leads the reader to think that it's an *instance* member. Just use
the type name, which makes it obvious that you're accessing a static
member.

I believe you just reference it as if it were an instance member.
