    - FileLogTraceListener not writing to file beyond a constant max-size Hi Friends, I've been using FileLogTraceListener class to write log data to files. Since the data being written is continuously generated, I set the file to be created on a daily basis. I do not set up the maximum size for the log file. The problem is - My log files do not seem to grow beyond a fixed size (4833 K). All messages are written to log file till the file grows to this size and then no logs are appended. Here are my settings - faultLoglistener = new FileLogTraceListener(); faultLoglistener.Location = LogFileLocation.Custom; faultLoglistener.CustomLocation = "C:\\"; faultLoglistener.BaseFileName = "FaultLog"; faultLoglistener.LogFileCreationSchedule = LogFileCreationScheduleOption.Daily; faultLoglistener.Append = true; faultLoglistener.Delimiter = "|"; faultLoglistener.AutoFlush = true; Can I set the max-size to something (say 4000 K) and use the "FullLogFileName" property to include a timestamp in the filename so that when a file reaches its limit, another file with same name, date and different timestamp is created and logging continued in that ? If not, can somebody suggest how can I get over this problem so that I continue to log messages ? Thanks n Regards, Kunal Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125993

    - Generating web service proxy at runtime for Compact and full .NET framework Hello, I am trying to generate a web service proxy from a WSDL description. I know the 'wsdl.exe' tool can be used for this, as well as Visual Studio itself. What I would like to do however, is have this file generated at runtime, after which I could compile it, and use it in my application. Is there any way to do this? I noticed that the file generated by 'wsdl.exe' does not compile for the Compact .NET framework. When I generate a proxy through Visual Studio, it does however. The file mentions that it has been generated by 'Microsoft.CompactFramework.Design.Data'. Is there any way I can use this library to generate the code myself? Thanks in advance! -- Jo Vermeulen Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125988

    - PictureBox: internal use of thumbnails? Using: Windows Mobile 5, .Net CF 2, C# My Form contains 5 small PictureBoxes, each displaying a large photo (1600x1200). Since I'm running into memory problems I get the feeling that each PictureBox keeps the complete photo in memory. Are PictureBoxes optimized in that they use their own thumbnails? Or should I create my own thumbnails of the photos and use those? Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125987

    - Install com from .msi or... Hi, We have a .NET assembly with COM controls inside. We need to register this control in Internet Explorer. We have a html page to use this control: <html> <body> <OBJECT id="control1" classid="CLSID:B5131ECD-CCEB-4f2f-9632-E28E085A1C68" codebase="setup.msi"> </OBJECT> </body> </html> If we had not managed COM control then we would use CAB file and .ini file to register all components inside CAB. We'd read that with managed asembleys we should use .msi installer file instead of CAB. We'd created this msi. And if we installing it manualy(by double clicking on it) then we can use this controls. But if msi runed by iexplorer when page is opened, then COM controls are not registerd. Question: What should we do to automatically register COM controls(writen on .NET) when HTML page is opening?

    - Can I Temporarly Rollback to .Net Framework 1.1? I have to install a bigger HD so I purchased Norton Ghost (to clone my old disk). But Ghost will ONLY run with .NET Framework 1.1. Two Questions..... 1. Can I rollback or reinstall Framework 1.1, run my Norton Ghost, and then re-update to .NET Framework 2.0 (or 3.0) later? 2. Will this have any implications for some VB.NET apps that I have written under .NET Framework 2.0? I'm sorry, but I only have a vague idea of what the framework does. My grateful thanks for any help.

    - Policy File Not Working? 1/ Got two versions of the same DLL in the GAC called ClassForGac.dll; V1.0.0.0 & V2.0.0.0 (No problem so far) 2/ Got client.EXE that was compiled against V1.0.0.0. and calls V1.0.0.0 happily. 3/ Decided to point client.EXE to V2.0.0.0 so I created the policy file as follows: <configuration> <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1"> <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name="ClassForGac" publicKeyToken="ac4d1fbd7d28b4c6" culture="neutral"/> <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.0.65535.65535" newVersion="2.0.0.0"/> </dependentAssembly> </assemblyBinding> </runtime> </configuration> 4/ After this I generate the policy file into a DLL 5/ Finally I publish the resulting DLL to the GAC Question: Why does client.EXE still insist on calling V1.0.0.0 N.B. Same SNK file used throughout (publicKeyToken="ac4d1fbd7d28b4c6" ) Regards Dan Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125961

    - Best practice question: Protecting managed assemblies Hi, What is the best practice to avoid the end user tampering with installed managed DLLs. For example, a web application connects to a server to verify licenses. If licenses are valid, the application runs, if not an error page is displayed. However, if the web application (ASP.NET) is decompiled, modified and recompiled, and installed, the license check can be skipped. Our assemblies have a strong name, but my understanding is that it doesn't protect us, since the end user can find the assembly hierarchy and decompile - recompile the whole assembly to solve the strong name problem. So, what's the solution? Greetings Laurent Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125952

    - UDP Server (what's wrong?) I have written a simple UDP server. It uses a single socket and sends incoming data to random ports on the same machine. After second call of Receive () I got SocketException "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host". How it can be? I have UDP server and there are no connections! Also I noticed if I comment out SendTo or change SendTo IP to some real IP then the server works perfectly. What can be wrong with this? using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Threading; using System.Net; using System.Net.Sockets; namespace UdpTest { class Program { private static string serverIP = "192.168.64.66"; private static int serverPort = 5000; static void Main(string[] args) { Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(ServerThread)); thread.Start(); using (UdpClient client = new UdpClient()) { client.Connect(serverIP, 5000); while (true) { client.Send(new byte[100], 100); Thread.Sleep(1000); } } } private static void ServerThread() { using (Socket socket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp)) { socket.Bind(new IPEndPoint(0, serverPort)); byte[] buffer = new byte[65536]; while (true) { int read = socket.Receive(buffer); if (read > 0) { int sent = 0; for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { int port = new Random().Next(10000, 11000); EndPoint point = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(serverIP), port); sent += socket.SendTo(buffer, 0, read, SocketFlags.None, point); } Console.WriteLine("Received {0} bytes, sent {1} bytes", read, sent); } } } } } } Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125945

    - Error reading the HTTPListenerRequest InputStream Hi Friends, When I try to read the incoming client request data using the HttpListenerRequest.InputStream property, I'm getting the following exception (not everytime) - System.Net.HttpListenerException: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request Server stack trace: at System.Net.HttpRequestStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size) at HttpListenerLibrary.HttpListenerWrapper.ProcessRequest() in C:\AcsSim\HttpListenerLibrary\HttpListenerLibrary.cs:line 901 at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink._PrivateProcessMessage(IntPtr md, Object[] args, Object server, Int32 methodPtr, Boolean fExecuteInContext, Object[]& outArgs) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink.PrivateProcessMessage(RuntimeMethodHandle md, Object[] args, Object server, Int32 methodPtr, Boolean fExecuteInContext, Object[]& outArgs) at System.Runtime.Remoting.Messaging.StackBuilderSink.SyncProcessMessage(IMessage msg, Int32 methodPtr, Boolean fExecuteInContext) The server doesn't crash after this but stops receiving any further requests. What could be the problem that makes it do so ? Do I have any way of finding out what kind of request is this ? Can I programmatically insert a breakpoint in the code when this exception comes ? How can I ensure that if this exception happens my HttpListener still continues to receive packets ? Thanks for going through my problem. Regards, Kunal P.S. The code that I use to read the inputstream is as follows - if (!request.HasEntityBody) { Console.WriteLine("No client data was sent with the request."); return; } System.IO.Stream body = request.InputStream; System.Text.Encoding encoding = request.ContentEncoding; System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(body, encoding); string s = reader.ReadToEnd(); Console.WriteLine(s); body.Close(); reader.Close(); Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125942

    - Calling from default AppDomain (native code) into another AppDomain (managed code), hosted by ASP.NET Hello, We have a situation where a managed C++ assembly links with native C++ dll. There is a callback mechanism which calls back into the managed code asynchronously. Since native classes cannot hold onto a managed reference, we need to have a managed static member which we access during the callback and then get into the managed code. This works great in a console or WinForm app. But in ASP.NET it doesn't. The reason is that each web site is loaded into its own AppDomain. After some debugging we found out that the managed static is set on AppDomain 2, but the callback happens on AppDomain 1 (the default domain). When the callback code tries to access the managed static - it is undefined. We found a way to do a call into a different AppDomain, but only when you already have a reference to that AppDomain and we don't - there doesn't seem to be a way to enumerate AppDomains in a process. Has anybody else run into this? Is there a way to have ASP.NET (or the CLR) to not load the native code into the neutral domain, instead load it into each AppDomain?

    - how to cache a datatable every X time i have a web app where i have a Singleton holding a bunch of datasets(Instances not classes). one dataset have some dynamic data that i want to update once a while,that dataset is accessed by other part of the app . i saw that the DataTable is multi-reader,one-writer,i tried using a timer but some times it made the all site to stuck for a few seconds and it crashed my testing server. then i tried to make a aspx web page that cache the DataTable and a windows service that call it every 5 minutes,but using that way i get a weird thing controls that bind to that datatable such as repeater doesn`t show the data from the datatable all time,sometime it shows and sometimes it doesn`t show it( i only update three columns of that datatable and that three columns are the ones that doesn`t always show in the controls the other columns work just fine) this problem i have with both ways. when i cache part of that datatable(those 3 columns) i execute a Stored procedure and use a SqlDataReader to read the data and update the datatable according to the new data(i don`t update all the table just three columns in every row). my big question is: what is the best way to cache the DataTable(part of it) from the Database every X time? i can`t use just a windows service as the DataTable live only in the application process.

The poll method always return false without exception , even if I input one error IP and Port, i draw out the network. I do not know what's wrong with my source code, are there some bugs in my code? In addition, who can tell me when the poll method will throw exception? would you please to tell me how to create such a condition to invoke the exception? anyway, thanks to all of you .

    - DataGridView and DateTimePicker on same form cause flickering VS2005 Hi Has anyone experienced this problem? To create the problem, simply place a DateTimePicker and DataGridView on a form. Add some columns to the DataGridView in designer mode and then run. It is easier to see the flicker if you add a few rows to the grid(just add a few rows by clicking the add row) then go to the DateTimePicker and click the down arrow and change the date. Usually 3 or 4 seconds after the calendar disappears, the DataGridView will flicker (sometimes several times) with another grid appearing over the existing one. I've tried enabling doublebuffering and the like but can't prevent the flicker. The flicker only happens when a DateTimePicker is used, for instance a combo box does not cause the flicker. Anyone having a workaround? I'm using VS2005 with SP1 on WindowsXP. Thanks Allan Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125912

    - Chuncked upload via socket Using: .Net Compact Framework 2, Windows Mobile 5 (Pocket PC) I'm trying to upload a large binary file in chuncks over a socket (as a multipart mime message). This is how I'm trying to accomplish this, but it somehow doesn't work: ================================================ Socket s = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); IPAddress ipa = Dns.GetHostEntry("www.blablabla.com").AddressList[0]; IPEndPoint ipe = new IPEndPoint(ipa, 80); s.Connect(ipe); FileStream tmpFileStream = new FileStream(tmpUploadFileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); StringBuilder postString = new StringBuilder("POST /servlet HTTP/1.1\r\n"); postString.Append("Host: www.blablabla.com\r\n"); postString.Append("User-Agent: Windows Mobile 5 PPC\r\n"); postString.Append("Accept: */*;q=0.5\r\n"); postString.Append("Keep-Alive: 300\r\n"); postString.Append("Connection: keep-alive\r\n"); postString.Append("Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----1234----\r\n"); postString.Append("Content-Length: " + tmpFileStream.Length + "\r\n"); postString.Append("\r\n"); postString.Append("\r\n"); s.Send(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postString.ToString())); int numRead = 1; int chunkSize = 1024; byte[] bytes = new byte[chunkSize]; while ((numRead = tmpFileStream.Read(bytes, 0, chunkSize)) > 0) { try { s.Send(bytes, numRead, SocketFlags.None); } catch (Exception e) { } } s.Shutdown(SocketShutdown.Send); if (s.Connected) { s.Close(); } ================================================ If I read in the complete file and upload it at once everything goes fine, so it's likely not a problem with the format of the multipart mime message. I find the documentation on FileStream.Read() a bit vague, saying that the 'offset' parameter is the offset in 'aray', which is the destination array. It says 'offset: The byte offset in array at which to begin reading. ' (where 'array' is the name of the destination array parameter). Reading from the destination array?

    - SQL Server Problem. Hi. I hope someone smarter than me could help me with this strange problem. I created a system which needs to connect to a SQL database. Initially the programs were designed in Visual Studios 2003 .Net, and the database was SQL Server 2000. After a long wait, I finally got the go ahead to install the software for the client, and I managed to get the PDA software to connect with the database. But after a while, I installed the SQL Server 2005 and the Management Studio for the Sql Server. But this is now where my problem arises. I tried connecting to the database again with the PDA, but it now says "Index 0: Server does not exist or access denied" and I have checked the same settings with the server application, but the application on the server logs into the database. Even if I try removing everything, uninstalling the system, wiping the database, and resetting the PDA, I still end up with that problem. This now occured after I installed SQL Server 2005, and I can't figure out why this problen now surfaces, and even if I remove SQL Server 2005, it still says "Index 0: Server does not exist or access denied" on the PDA. Here is my connection string I pull out of a File I wrote: mSession.CurrentConnection.ConnectionString = "Data Source=test;Initial Catalog=DB;User Id=sa;Password=sa@123"; If I run this from my work computer, everything runs fine, but as soon as I switch to the test computer, that error keeps on popping up. Any way I can completely uninstall the WHOLE sql server from the test computer? Every single file and folder? I already removed it by using Control Panel Add Remove Programs, yet I still have this problem. Does anyone have a solution without needing to reformat a server? All and any help is greatly thankful.

    - How do I grant permissions to my .NET 2.0 program in Windows 2003? I created an application under C# that runs as a Windows Service. On my workstation the application runs fine. On my Windows 2003 server, it doesn't. I used the .NET framework 2.0 InstallUtil to install my Windows Service. The service appears in the service list, and if I try to start it, it fires up and I can see in the Event Log that the application started. However, the first thing my application does is write an event to the Windows event log to check in, and that event doesn't appear. The second thing the application will do is insert a record in a SQL server database, that doesn't happen either. I used to compile and run this on my Windows 2003 server just fine for framework v1.1. With 1.1 I would just use the administrative tools in the control panel to assign a trust level to my application. However, it seems to have changed under 2.0 and now I can't figure out how to give my application the necessary permissions to write to the event log or open a network connection. Are there any articles that will walk a person through how to do this? I'm searching MSDN and Google to no avail... Thank you! David Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125848

    - MI5 Persecution: Dirk Gently on the Toronto Case Dirk was on the West Coast when he got the call. An old friend at the Toronto police department thought he would like to fly up and take a look at a homicide which had occurred the previous evening. He decided to skip the last day at the World Holistics conference and take the next plane out of San Francisco. The flight was bad; Dirk had been hit on the back of the head by the Newspaper trolley, the drinks trolley, the dinner trolley and now the gift trolley. When the hostesses weren?t trying to tear his arm off they pestered him to stop leaning into the aisle - ignoring the fact that the guy next to him was taking up one and a half seats. Air Canada used to be the flight which was so good you just didn?t wanna get off - on this occasion Dirk would be glad to see the back of the plane and the over sized alternative comedian wedged into the window seat. After breathing in a couple of lungfulls of crisp Canadian air Dirk took a taxi into town. There was a small group of demonstrators outside the MacDonalds and the taxi driver insisted on stopping on the opposite side of the street. ?Don?t Eat Meat? the placards read and the demonstrators chanted. A couple of policemen where stopping the crowd entering the restaurant itself - one held up his arm and challenged Dirk. A wave of the fax he had been sent and the policeman pushed open the door. There were few customers in the restaurant. Not surprising really with a demonstration going on outside, half the dining area roped off with tape and a dead body seated at one of the tables. ?Mr Gently sir? the officer in charge called out as he peeled one end of the tape off a column ?We were told not to touch anything til? you got here?. The body of the man slumped awkwardly in a chair. Then even a dead body would start getting uncomfortable in a MacDonalds chair after twenty minutes - and this one had been there for at least eighteen hours. Two back legs and the tail of a cat hung out of the man?s gaping mouth. Dirk turned to the officer, ?I suppose you are going to tell me this is the darndest thing you ever saw?? ?Ain?t this the darnd...?. The officer seemed annoyed that Dirk had second guessed him. ?We?re removing the body in a few minutes, so if you can get through as quick as possible? ?Many people eat cats in fast food restaurants?? Dirk asked and without waiting for an answer leant over the table to pick up an untouched burger. ?And what?s this?? he asked waving it in front of the officers face. ?It?s a Vedgie Burger? The waitress, who was cleaning one of the adjacent tables, shouted across. She walked over to Dirk. ?We started doing them because of that lot out there? she nodded towards the protesters who were pressing there faces against the windows ?They?re called Linda McCartney Vedgie burgers - ever heard of them?? Dirk suddenly felt faint, perhaps a combination of hunger and jet lag. ?This is deja vu all over again? he thought to himself. He glanced at policemen - at the badge on his shoulder ?OPD? but this wasn?t Ontario this was Toronto. OPD - Officially Pronounced Dead. It dawned on Dirk what was happening, he knew what he would see if he looked out of the window. Sure enough, there it was, the Volkswagen Beetle parked across the road - number plate 28IF - 28 IF Paul McCartney had lived. And amongst the lyrics of the song blaring out into the restaurant he could pick out the words ?I buried Paul?. Now it was though Dirk was viewing the whole scene though a TV screen. This was conspiracy. Not -a- conspiracy, or -the- conspiracy, but just plain conspiracy. ?You look faint - are you OK mister? The waitress asked. Dirk shook his head ?Probably a bit hungry? Then to economise on dialogue took out a pack of cigarettes and held it out towards the girl. She was about to take one but Dirk snatched the pack away, held it up to his mouth and drew out two cigarettes. He lit both then passed one of them to the girl. It was the closest he had come to a sexual encounter in three months. ?Want a Burger?? the waitress asked. Dirk looked down at the Vedgie Burger on the table. ?No thanks - just a plate of fries? The waitress walked away and Dirk looked around the room. Apart from a family seated in the far corner there was only one other person in the restaurant - and he wasn?t eating. The guy was about mid twenties and had straggling, shoulder length hair. On the table in front of him were lots of pieces of paper cut into squares. Every so often he would pick up a camcorder and pan it around the room and then, when he was finished, speak into a microphone which was attached to a tape recorder. Dirk walked over to where the man was sitting. The small pieces of paper had paragraphs of text written on them and were stuck to the top of table with blobs of mustard. Lines had been drawn, some solid some dotted, on the table top with a marker pen. The lines ran from one piece of paper to another. ?What are the lines for?? Dirk asked, realising straight away that ?What the hell are you doing?? would be more appropriate. ?You see? The man replied nervously ?The dotted lines are weak links and the solid lines are strong links. The dotted lines are things which are happening in the rest of the world and the solid lines are things which are happening to me. Now you see I draw over a dotted line, replacing it with a solid line, when I can link something back to me. Like this? The pen squeaked over the Formica and before Dirk could interrupt the man added. ?You see I lost my short term memory and, as a consequence have a very short attention span. I write down, record and film everything then put it all together later? ?So? Dirk interrupted. ?You filmed what happened here?? ?Yes, yes, it?s here on this tape? The man pushed the cassette across the table. On the label the words ?Grassy Knoll? had been crossed through and replaced with ?MacDonalds?. Suddenly the man sprung from his seat. Dirk turned and saw that the body was being removed on a stretcher. As it passed the man picked a small object off the edge of the stretcher itself. ?This is important? he said, laying a blood stained bullet on one of the small pieces of paper on the table. Suddenly the room was filled with a deafening throbbing sound as a Black Helicopter landed in the street outside. Two men in United Nations uniforms got out and collected the stretcher. Back at the table the long haired man was replacing all the dotted lines with solid ones. Dirk panicked and began to walk backwards at some speed. Barging through the swing doors he stumbled into the kitchen, tripped and felt himself sink slowly into a large vat. ?The guys fallen into the batter? Dick heard someone shout before he sunk below the surface. He came to sitting in a chair with the batter solidifying all over his body. He surveyed the room through two eye-holes someone had cut. Suddenly the chair on which he was sitting was picked up carried through the restaurant and out of the building. As the chair was being lifted and put into the back of a van, Dirk caught a glimpse of the waitress following him. ?Your fries mister, your plate o...?. The doors of the van shut and Dirk tried desperately to steady himself as it sped across town. Eventually the doors flew open and Dirk was flung into the road at which point the solidified batter shattered and set him free. Standing up he found himself outside the international departures terminal of Toronto airport. In the departure lounge Dirk had time to reflect on the day?s events. He had got caught up in the conspiracy theories and the haphazard welding together of pieces of irrelevant information. It was time to catch the person who was operating the bizarre cognitive engine which appeared in front of him like a fairground mirror, distorting any flaw it could find in his own, fragile, map of the real world. Dirk leant into the aisle of the plane as it took off for London. The oversized person next to him swung his arms violently as he complained about every thing from the supper in a plastic tray to the state of British politics. With a shaven head and a badly fitting suit the man looked as though he could have worked behind the reception desk of the Kremlin. However when he spoke he did so in a Liverpudlian accent. ?Me I blame the Con-serv-a-tive government, me. The Tour-rees. That-cher. Me. They need a good kicking? He jerked his feet forward and struck the seat in front with his Doc Martins. ?With these. Me Doc Martins. Doctor Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s Booots!? The phrase was now being sung over and over again as the man writhed in his seat and clicked his fingers. Dirk looked down at the boots and thought of the reaction most people used to deal with the paranoids at the end of the wire. A nice quick kick. ?Oi nutter - get some therapy?. This is the easy way out and perhaps the safest. After all there you are sat, alone, in front of the screen. No body language between you some paranoid. No way of telling if he really is some gibbering psycho. Look at it too long and you be drawn in. Fall into the tangled database of weird links with him. Who knows he may be watching you, reassembling and linking your experiences with his. How sure are you of you own cognitive threads. After all cognition is only a bug fix for a neurological system which was designed in a hurry - it?s abused by everyone from politicians to advertisers. If people really can convince each other that a bottle of washing up liquid is as exciting as an orgasm using just television God knows what they can do with a computer. Better to avoid the risk. A swift kick. After all if you?re Homophobic you put the boot in because you are scared of any ambiguity in your own sexuality - why not be Nutterphobic as well. Although Dirk would have liked to devoted time to tracking the culprit down he decided to let it rest. The Internet changed over the next twenty odd years. A lot of the people who used it went out and got lives. And those who already had lives burnt them away. The number of users had dwindled after someone had invented a C++ program, with truth as a variable, to deal handle politics and government. Dirk had already retired from finding old ladies cats with the help of obscure science when he got another call from Toronto. It was 4th March 2025 when he booked onto the Air Canada flight from Heathrow. The silver haired woman in the seat next to him painted bright red lipstick around her mouth. ?Of course it was no surprise to be offered the job after Claire Raynor retired? she sneered? After all I used to be a psychiatric nurse... Now if Blokes had periods they would understand...? By chance the taxi ride to Toronto mental hospital took him past the MacDonalds - where the whole thing had started. Of course it was barely recognisable having become a Church Of Scientology Vedgie Bar. Police in riot gear kept the two sets of demonstrators apart. Dirk didn?t really know what to expect when he got to the hospital. The girl at the reception desk directed him to a row of chairs in a wide well lit corridor. There was a strong smell of disinfectant, the furniture and the carpets were immaculately clean and behind the rows of teak veneer doors the ?nutters? were all safely locked away. For some reason Dirk started thinking about CompuServe forums. A tall blond woman in a white coat approached. ?Mr Gentle, I assume? ?Yes? Dirk replied shaking her by the hand. ?You?re the nurse who...? ?Doctor? She interrupted, ?Doctor Killfile? She led Dirk across the corridor towards one of the doors then stopped with her hand resting on the handle. ?Now you know about this person don?t you?? and after Dirk nodded she continued ?Don?t tell him anything about yourself - don?t let him get into you head. If he does he?ll screw it up? The door opened to reveal a frail man sitting in from of a TV screen. He had a keyboard on his lap and next to the television was a computer screen. Dirk glanced at the walls of the room and remembered that his settee at home need upholstering. The nurse left the room and the man looked up ?So you come to my daughters wedding and ask me to kill a man? he said in a dry cackling voice. ?Look? he continued, pointing at the screen, ?I know that man. They?re talking about me now - listen?. The man stared at Dirk. ?What?s your name? Are you one of my friends from the Internet? - Are the lambs still screaming Dirk?? Dirk, at first recoiled in horror, then felt a sense of anti climax. So this is what they hyped up to superstar status on the back of their own fears of madness. Dirk was reminded of the film ?A day on The Beach? where a submarine had set off to search a post nuclear World to track down a signal coming from a remote military base - only to find it was being sent by a Coke bottle half balanced on a Morse tapper. Outside the room the nurse waited for him. Because his nicotine craving had returned - and to avoid an awkward piece of dialogue - Dirk turned to her and asked . ?Patch?? Dirk took two nicotine patches from his wallet the first of which he stuck onto the inside of his arm. Stepping closer to Doctor Killfile he opened her white coat and slid his hand into the opening at the front of her dress. He pressed the patch onto her leg as close to the top of her inner thigh as he dare. She took a deep breath and then slowly breathed out. ?What Bogart could have done with these things? Dirk thought to himself. ?Is he crazy?? Dirk asked tilting his head back to towards the door. ?Who knows? Doctor Killfile replied ?We let him type away. He sees something on the TV in the morning and it keeps him busy all day. What he types doesn?t go anywhere it just stays on a mainframe in the basement. It can be read by anyone else in the building but that?s it. We got them all in here conspiracy theorists, racists, nationalists. They?ve created a world within a world really...? Her voice trailed away and she stared down the corridor for a while then added ?So long are two things are different neither will come to be in the other and so become at once both one and two.? Dirk gave her a puzzled look ?You mean their brains are fried?? ?Fried?? Killfile smiled at Dirk ?No that was Plato?. Then the smile fell from her face. ?You must remember, mister, plate o...? 716 Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125841

    - MI5 Persecution: Security Service Tribunal Denies Security Service Tribunal Denies In June 1997 the Security Service Tribunal wrote to me regarding the complaint I had brought against MI5 in February. They say, The Security Service Tribunal have now investigated your complaint and have asked me to inform you that no determination in your favour has been made on your complaint. Again, I do not believe their denials. I think MI5 *has* taken the action against me as described, and is refusing to admit what they have done. To the best of my knowledge, the Security Service Tribunal has *never* found in favour of a complainant. This tends to strongly suggest that MI5 lies on a routine basis, and the Tribunal can't fulfil its functions in the face of Security Service falsehoods. 716 Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125838

    - Reading Config from custom location in .NET 2.0 My company has recently purchased a software product that spans several technologies (ASP, COM, VB 6.0, .net 1.1, .net 2.0). We are trying to standardize the software over to one technology (.net 2.0). Part of this is to locate general settings (such as database connection strings etc...) into one central location. I was able to do this for the asp.net 1.1 Web Site, Web Services and console apps by setting the "file" attribute of the <appSettings> section of the relevant Config file:- E.G <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings file="D:\Mydirectory\test.config" /> </configuration> I have created a custom class in .NET 2.0 that reads data from my custom config file, reading from the file such as this:- Return System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DatabaseConnString"].ToString(); However the problem lies when trying to use this code via COM+ so as the ASP portion of the software can get its configuration details from the same place. As COM+ executes in it own container (I think under dllhost.exe??) then using the above code to read a setting is obviosly not going to work as there is no way to set the following :- <appSettings file="D:\Mydirectory\test.config" /> What I was hoping I could do was in my custom class that gives out configuration details, is to specify a path to where the configuration data is stored (E.G D:\Mydirectory\test.config) and load that configuration file into memory and read from it. Does anyone know how to specify the location of a .config file and load it into an object to parse it for configuration settings??? Or perhaps someone knows of a way by using .NET 2.0 technologies (such as property settings) that configuration type data can easily be read from ASP via COM+. Many thanks in Advance.

    - Go C# .NET for the larger applications? Is there a list somewhere of companies or other software applications initiatives that are using .NET for implementation? (i.e. software running on the CLR) I'm especially thinking of the larger applications. E.g. something which maintains a large database or extensive GUI, etc. I just thought of this example: would it be feasible to implement a large development environment like Visual Studio in .NET? I'm sure it can be done, but what can be said for it, or against it? Maybe the question was asked before many times, but it's 2007 now and I need to ask again (or point me to some urls please): When I have ideas for a new software I want to develop, : Why would I choose to implement in .NET? (probably using C#) Pro's, cons, compared to writing a native code application? I know most of the technical advantages, but put it this way: How would you explain the choice to target the .NET platform to the management of a/your company? (This latter question would be irrespective of application size). Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125820

    - Generics and constructors. There is something that I don't understand about .NET Generics. I have code like the following: public class A { private string _paramOne; private string _paramTwo; public A(string paramOne, string paramTwo) { _paramOne = paramOne; _paramTwo = paramTwo; } } public class GenericA<T> where T : new() { public GenericA(string paramOne, string paramTwo) { new T(paramOne, paramTwo); } } static void Main(string[] args) { GenericA<A> instance = new GenericA<A>("paramOne", "paramTwo"); } In trying to get the strings to the type specified by the generic type parameter I get numerous errors mainly focusing on the fact that I either must define a parameterless construtor or I cannot use parameters in a constructor. So my question is two fold. How do I get the arguments on the GenericA<A> constructor to the A class? And, when and how is the type A instantiated and constructed. Thank you.

    - Passing class through using P invoke Hi, I'm trying to pass an object through to unmanaged code using P invoke. My code for .net and unmanaged (visual objects) code is below. The object properties are not coming through right. The address is coming across as a garbled string and the postcode is not the right number, any ideas what i am doing wrong? .NET CODE ************************************************************* [DllImport(@"C:\test\test.DLL")] static extern string PassObject([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStruct)]TestObject oobject); [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)] public class TestObject { [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)] public string address; [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)] public int postcode; } private void Call() { TestObject o = new TestObject(); o.address = "test"; o.postcode = 99; PassObject(o); } VISUAL OBJECT CODE: ****************************************************************************** FUNCTION PassObject(oobject AS testobject) WarningBox{,,oobject:oAddress}:Show() warningbox{,,AsString(oobject:opostcode)}:Show() RETURN "what's up" CLASS testobject EXPORT oAddress AS STRING EXPORT opostcode AS INT Tag: Conversion errors where no conversion needed Tag: 125816

Today when I opened a solution, I started receiving this around 205 of
these errors:

Value of type 'System.Data.DataTable' cannot be converted to
'System.Data.DataTable'

Value of type 'System.Drawing.Color' cannot be converted to
'System.Drawing.Color

These errors were not here two days ago when I last opened it. I do
not believe anyone else has touched the source either.

I'm using the 1.1 Framework (1.1.4322). I've checked all of the
System.Data dll references across the projects in the solution. All
point to the same dll.

I've seen this error before, but it was caused by mixing 2.0 and 1.1
projects. There is no 2.0 references in this solution. Actually, 2.0
isn't even installed on this machine.

I've tried to reinstall the 1.1 framework but cannot because it is
included as part of Windows 2003 Server.

Any help would be appreciated.
