    - TcpClient lost data timing anomaly Hi The platform: XP/pro on a dual Xeon 3GH processors I am using TcpClient class to communicate with a POP3 server. Short problem synopsis: a 'read' hangs even though there is data in the buffer (as evidenced by a network sniffer trace). Elaboration: I/O is done by getting the NetworkStream and doing a read for a whole buffer's worth (typically 1024) of bytes. The code looks for the NL (new-line char, '\n'), as a delimiter. If found, the text up to and including the NL is returned to the caller. Otherwise another read is performed and concatenated to the previous read's output, and the check for the delimiter repeats. On subsequent reads, if there was data left over from the previous read, it is processed for NL before any other reads are issued. I have used a network sniffer to determine that all the data is coming in. I have put a trace in my program to output to a file (serialized with a 'lock') all the output form all the read requests. I consistently find that one of the reads is able to get all but the last 3 bytes of a response from a server. The code dutifully returns all the text received and tries to do another read since the caller is looking for a '.\r\n' sequence (end-of-message). This read hangs (I use the debugger). When I change the buffer size the problem happens in a different message. If I make the buffer large enough, the problem goes away. The buffering code described above is working for thousands of messages that have split across multiple buffers or for short messages where multiple fit in the same buffer, so I'm pretty confident that it is splitting messages correctly and gluing together segments across network messages. My only conclusion is that something in the TcpClient (or deeper) is checking the socket and waiting for more data in a non-atomic manner. The problem shows up on my system because it is a fast dual processor system that can obviously do concurrent processing by multiple threads/processes. Has any one seen this kind of problem before? Any work-around? -TIA David Tag: Determining the computer name I am installing to. Tag: 56822

    - Threading help with Invoke I created a call-back Thread class and am getting an Invoke error in the call-back method. The call-back method access a control on the main thread.

    - Problems with GCHandle and AppDomains Greetings everyone. I am currently working on a multimedia application written in unmanaged code. As part on my next set of improvements, I would like to host the CLR in the application and allow third parties to extend the application and manipulate internal objects in the application through a "script" interop layer I provide written (on my end) in managed C++. The way my system is set up, from the default domain in my host, I instantiate the script harness using AppDomain::CreateInstanceAndUnwrap method and downcast the resulting object to a common interface that my application and the harness know about. I call a "run" method on the interface. In a test script I created, I register a callback object into the multimedia app. The unmanaged callback object contains a GCHandle to a delegate which it fires periodically on behalf of the unmanaged application based on certain timing parameters. Now, when the harness and my test script used to run in the default domain, everything worked like a champ. Now that the test script is in a different domain, when the unmanaged callback object dereferences the gchandle to invoke the delegate on the script, I get an ArgumentException with a description that reads: "Cannot pass a GCHandle across app domains". I've hit my head against the wall trying to get this to work for a while now with no success. Does anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    - Localization and multiple string resources Hello! I am looking at .Net localization. I happen to be using J# with VS 2003 but it could be any supported language. The LocalizedHelloWorld example from MSDN and VS shows how to localize a single .resources file. Here is a link to the J# version: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dv_vjsample/html/vjsamlocalizedhelloworldsamplesatelliteassembliesforconsoleapplications.asp The problem I have is I am working with an application that has several string resources per DLL. I have not been able to find a way to get it to work. The example loads a resource called "HelloWorld.Resources.MyResources". Each localized version is embedded in a DLL called "HelloWorld.resources.DLL". The trick seems to be that there can be only one such DLL. I have modified this sample and tried embedding two resources, MyResources.resources and MyResources2.resources, and also creating, for example, two French resources, MyResources.fr.resources and MyResources2.fr.resources, into the satellite assembly "HelloWorld.resources.DLL". But, when I request "HelloWorld.Resources.MyResources2" with the culture set to "fr", it fails to find the second French resource and falls back to the embedded MyResources2.resources. Does anyone know a way to make this work? Thanks in advance. Tag: Determining the computer name I am installing to. Tag: 56803

    - Base Class Prop not hidden to Reflection Hello, I'm encountering an unexpected behavior when using the "new" modifier in a derived class to hide an inherited base class property. I use "new" intentionally so I can change the Type of the property in the derived class, and I can use the derived class as expected through standard instantiation. The unexpected behavior occurs when I try to set gather the PropertyInfo for the derived class property via Reflection. I get an AmbiguousMatchException as both the base class and derived class property implementations are found. Perhaps I don't fully understand the "new" modifier - I expected the base class member to be hidden completely when working with the derived class. I have included a code sample that illustrates the behavior. If anyone could explain this, I would be very interested in understanding. Thanks. using System; using System.Reflection; namespace TestHide { class foo { [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { Derived d = new Derived( "test" ); Console.WriteLine( "PropType:\t" + d.Problem.GetType().ToString() ); try { PropertyInfo p = d.GetType().GetProperty ( "Problem" ); } catch(AmbiguousMatchException e) { Console.WriteLine( "Error:\t\t" + e.Message ); PropertyInfo[] p = d.GetType().GetProperties(); for( int n = 0; n < p.Length; n++ ) { Console.WriteLine( "Name: " + p[n].Name + "\tType: " + p[n].PropertyType + "\tDecl: " + p[n].DeclaringType ); } } catch(Exception e) { Console.WriteLine( e.Message ); } } } public class Base { protected int _works = 0; protected object _problem = null; public Base(){} public virtual int Works { get { return _works; } set { _works = value; } } public virtual object Problem { get { return _problem; } set { _problem = value; } } } public class Derived : Base { public Derived(){} public Derived(string problem) { this.Problem = problem; } public override int Works { get { return base.Works - 1; } set { base.Works = value + 2; } } public new string Problem { get { return (string)base.Problem; } set { base.Problem = (string)value; } } } } Tag: Determining the computer name I am installing to.

    - DLL, memory leak, handles issues with TCP/IP. Hi, I have an application that uses a dll that we have written. This dll makes use of winsock2.h functions like WSAInitialise etc. all related to opening and closing tcp connections wrapped in our own dll commands. I pass the application handle to the dll.(this might be the issue i think) Problem is i am seeing a memory leak (handles go on increasing) when i run my application using functions from dll in a loop and its being caused by our implementation of tcp probably. However if i use the same low level commands which are interfaced with winsock commands i dont see the memory leak(handles dont increase) Is there something special about working dll and tcp/ip. I read somewhere that you need to create a hidden window internal to dll to post the messages. I hope someone gives me a helpful answer. I am going crazy trying to stop the increase of handles.

Example: Private Declare Function InternetAutodial Lib "wininet.dll" (ByVal dwFlags As Long, ByVal hwndParent As Long) As Long Is there an equivalent API in the .NET framework or do I have to call wininet.dll from my VB.NET app directly?

    - Access - dotnet comparison Hi all, I have an old app (its a relativ small app) in acc-dao-msde (odbc) which i would like to reprogram for distributing 10-100 times. Now i should decide the platform i will use for the development: Access2000/XP - ADO - MSDE or dotNETvb If i use Access i will need about 100 hours. dotNet i have to learn first. - What are the adavantages/disadvantages using dotNET? - to create reports i have to buy cristal report or something similar? - in dotNet there are no subforms and no endlessforms? - The development costs (time, tools) for dotNET are quit higher than in access? - developing / distributing an app: which platform produce more headache thanks in advance for your ideas Peter Tag: Determining the computer name I am installing to.

    - Strange Error after leaving program overnight I'm developing an application that needs to run 24/7 (its not a mission-critical application, but most of our users of the Win32 version leave the program running continuously.) Last night I did the same, and when I returned I couldn't get the program to resume - the screen was just blank. I found the reason for this when I returned to the VS.net IDE - there had been an exception thrown. The problem is, I'm pretty sure its nothing I can do anything about in my own code. The exception was "An unhandled exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in <mymodule.dll>. Additional information: an attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format". I was running in the IDE and it is the only time it has happened, but this is also the first time I've left it overnight, so I want to do due diligence in trying to find the source of the error so I can address it. I've googled for this error and found many references, so many in fact that looking was almost pointless - this error was apparently around at least since Win95... Any ideas on what might be the problem?? Michael D. Bray mbray@ctiusa.com Tag: Determining the computer name I am installing to. Tag: 56690

    - Http stream performance Hi. I'm reading a 5 meg (or so) file from the response stream of a WebRequest, and it's pitifully slow. I mean *really* slow, in the order of 15 minutes to download. Now obviously I'm caching this on the client (Windows app / IsolatedStorage), but I can't have it taking this long to download in the first instance. We've got Gigabit LAN. what's the bottleneck? I could make the resource available via a different protocol / means if necessary to overcome the problem. Has anyone had similar issues or know of a better method of large network downloads?

I have a deployment project that installs a web
application. I have added an installer class to my
application project that gets called during install.
Using System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry I can add a
group to the computer I am installing on. Currently I am
using the hard coded name of my computer. How can I find
out the name of the computer I am installing to?

FYI: I have tried to use the
System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation class but it
doesn't seem to be available from my web project
Installer class.

System.Environment.MachineName should do the trick.
