    - () in attribute declaration I have seen attributes, specifically Serializable declared in 2 ways and was wondering if anyone had any insight on the differance if there is any. These 2 ways are [Serializable] and [Serializable()]. Does the addition of the parenthesis do anything? Is this calling a constructor? Both seem to have the same effect in the end, but it seems like they should do something differnt? Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 138007

    - System.Timers.Timer and Close/Dispose The short form of this post is as follows. For an instance of System.Timers.Timer, after setting Enabled to False, is there a foolproof way to tell if an Elapsed event will or will not fire? The long form follows. I have a class, MyClass, that declares Private WithEvents MyTimer As System.Timers.Timer Sub New for MyClass initializes MyTimer to fire Elapsed events every second. I have an Elapsed event handler and some public methods. With SyncLock, I've made MyClass instances thread safe. Everything works fine. System.Timers.Timer has Close and Dispose methods, so I when I want to destroy an instance of MyClass, I should Close or Dispose MyTimer. I've coded MyClass.Close to look like this: MyTimer.Enabled = False ' some cleanup I need to do Sleep(100) ' let fire an enroute MyTimer.Elapsed MyTimer.Dispose() ' per IDisposable ' some more cleanup I need to do The reason for the Sleep is because of how Windows/.NET executes MyTimer.Elapsed events. The Timer.Stop documentation says: "The Elapsed event is raised on a ThreadPool thread, so the event-handling method might run on one thread at the same time that a call to the Stop method runs on another thread. This might result in the Elapsed event being raised after the Stop method is called." Stop and Enabled=False do the same thing. The Timer.Stop documentation goes on to give a somewhat elaborate mechanism to overcome contention and race conditions that might arise. My solution is Sleep(100). I don't like my use of Sleep. I don't like the elaborate mechanism in the documentation because it looks like it could fail if someone is messing with thread priorities (note that the mechanism uses Sleep(0)). So, the question is: For an instance of System.Timers.Timer, after setting Enabled to False, is there a foolproof way to tell if an Elapsed event will or will not fire?

    - Good C# profilers? Hi... I was just wondering what recommendations people had for C# code profilers? I'm trying to figure out where a lot of our app's time is going. I downloaded and am trying ProfileSharp Enterprise Edition, but I'm finding the interface awkward and the results suspect (profiling for cpu cycles, it says Thread.Sleep is the most expensive function). Has anyone had particularly good experience with a C# code profiler? Thanks Mark Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 138003

    - EnterpriseLibrary.Logging Hi all, I have installed EnterpriseLibrary v3.1 (latest version) on my pc. When I create the app.config file using the "EnterpriseLibrary Configuration" utility, I get an error saying it can't detect the EL.Logging.dll file. I fixed the problem by setting the PublicKeyToken= "null" instead of its default PublicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a". eg. configSections> <section name="loggingConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging.Configuration.LoggingSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Logging, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" /> <section name="exceptionHandling" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Configuration.ExceptionHandlingSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" /> </configSections> The thing is that I can't understnad why this error is occuring in the first place. This pc is newly set-up and it has never had any prior versions of EL installed on it. The "EnterpriseLibrary Configuration" utility comes with this v3.1 setup. Thanks for your reply. regards, Andrew Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137998

    - GDI and Rotating Text Hi, I want to use GDI to rotate some text at an angle and output the resultant image to the asp.net response stream. I can do that all fine, however what I'm struggling with is trimming the whitespace from the resultant image. What im doing is creating a blank canvas image (of arbitrarily large size) and doing a translate transform to the centre, then applying a rotate transform, then writing my text. What i want to do is trim all the whitespace from around the edges. Is there some way i can determine the width and height of the text ive written to the image (after the transform) ? I know i can manually get the text dimensions before the rotate, then use some trig to work out how high and wide it would be after rotating it but thats a bit of a pain if theres some function that will do it for me Thanks for any advice Andrew Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137996

    - Windows service startUp error Hi all, My question consists of 2 parts: 1) I have installed my windows service [by right-click on Setup.exe in SolutionExplorer, then Install ... ] onto a folder on my desktop. When I click on the MyNewService.exe file, I got the following error message: " Cannot start service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services Administrative tool or the NET START command. " 2) Is the problem because I need to install using "installutil /i C:\MyNewService3.exe" ? I tried that and i got the error message: " Exception occurred while initializing the installation: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name Documents, or one of its dependencies, was not found. " Any advice on understanding what this message says ? Thanks. regards, Andrew Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137978

    - Caching of DateTime.Now? Hi... We have some elapsed time stopwatches using the QueryPerformanceCounter() win32 api, but since I was getting tired of doing the arithmatic all the time I added some DateTime.Now.ToString("HH:mm:ss.fff")'s to the log and I noticed an interesting quirk. There's often about a 5ms difference between the calculations of QueryPerformanceCounter() values and DateTime.Now and DateTime.Now is always the one behind. Is DateTime.Now cached for some period of time to avoid the expense of recalculation? Thanks Mark Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137977

    - File Copy exception Hi all, I have created a windows service (my first service). I am normally an ASP.NET developer... The service is simple. All it does is to watch a directory and copy any files that land in it to another folder (in this case, the parent folder). This works fine most of the time, but my first sample file crashed it. It seems to be down to a file type problem. My sample file was a .bat file. I have now put a try/catch around the file copy and come up with _COMPlusExceptionCode -532459699 At the moment, it only seems to crash with .bat files. I have done a successful copy of app.config, *.txt. Any ideas? My code... public MyService() { InitializeComponent(); } protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { // TODO: Add code here to start your service. FSWatcher.Path = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["WatchPath"]; } protected override void OnStop() { // TODO: Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service. } private void FSWatcher_Created(object sender, System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs e) { try { System.IO.File.Copy(e.FullPath, "C:\\temp\\" + e.Name); } catch (Exception ex) { } } -- Best regards, Dave Colliver. http://www.AshfieldFOCUS.com ~~ http://www.FOCUSPortals.com - Local franchises available Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137975

    - Metafile & Graphics I have a Metafile and a Graphics attached to it and I do several drawings on the Metafile through the Graphics. After the drawings I need to print the metafile. If I try to print the Metafile right away, nothing shows on the page, now, If I do a Graphics.Dispose() and then print the Metafile, it works without any problem. My problem is that after printing the Metafile I still need to work on it through the Graphics, but if I try to reinitializate the Graphics object with a call of Graphics.FromImage(metafile), I get a "out of memory" error. Is there a different way to create a Graphics from a Metafile ? Is it possible to have access to a Metafile which is attached to a Graphics, without having to dispose the Graphics ?

    - Compiling WF assemblies with /platform:x64 Hello, I have a service application that uses Windows Workflow Foundation as part of its processes. One of the class libraries in this application is a collection of custom WF activities that I have written to represent the bits of business process. The solution compiles fine when compiling with the /platform:anycpu flag and all is good, but when I try to compile the same solution with the /platform:x64 the class library with the WF activities fail with a "error 348: Compilation failed." It goes on to say "Unable to load one or more of the requested types." but that's all the help I get. I'm trying to build the application in a 32 bits machine running Windows XP SP2, but I will run it in a Windows Server 2003 64 bits. On the destination machine I have installed the 64 bit version of the Framework 3.5 and when looking in "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.0" I can see only two sub-folders: "Windows Communication Foundation" and "WPF", whereas in the 32 bit version of the Framework 3.0 I can see a third folder called "Windows Workflow Foundation". Does it have any relevance? Any help is appreciated. Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137972

    - Need help diagnosing WCF timeout exception Hello, I have a Windows Service-hosted WCF service that occasionally throws an timeout exception, or something that looks like one. The call chain looks like this: Client->WCF Service->COM Server->COM App The exception seems to appear as the call to the service is completing. Interestingly, these exceptions do not seem to affect the tasks the service is performing at the time of the error. If the errors are ignored all subsequent dependent actions are successful. The exception message is: The maximum retry count has been exceeded with no response from the remote endpoint. The reliable session was faulted. This is often an indication that the remote endpoint is no longer available. The inner exception says: The HTTP request to 'http://xpsp2client:8000/CubularityServies/CuIWfcService' has exceeded the allotted timeout of 00:01:00. The time allotted to this operation may have been a portion of a longer timeout. I also occasionally see an exception claiming that I've exceeded the inactivityTimeout of 00:10:00. OK. When I started seeing these I set all the timeout values I could find to 00:20:00 and the behavior was not affected. I'm setting the following timeouts in the .config file: For <binding> : receiveTimeout sendTimeout openTimeout closeTimeout For <reliableSession> : inactivityTimeout For <host> : openTimeout closeTimeout I'm wondering if there are timeout settings that I'm missing. I don't have any values less than 20min yet I get errors telling me I've exceeded timeouts of 1 and 10 minutes. I've used Intellisense to poke around and try to find properties that aren't obvious in the WCF Config Editor, but haven't turned up anything. Any suggestions? Keith P.S. I've turned on verbose logging for the service and am trying to understand them. Some exceptions are shown in the logs but not enough detail is given to pinpoint the source of these faliure.

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?

    - Does HttpListener have the same quirk as HttpWebRequest Hi... We've implemented a server process using HttpListener to get and process certain requests, but we've been noticing some odd serialization that reminded me of a quirk in the client code. We recently discovered an odd behavior of HttpWebRequest in the client code where mixing sync and async methods resulted in everything quietly being sync. Specifically, we were using GetRequestStream() to send the data up synchronously then calling BeginGetResponse() to wait for the answer async. Well, it turned out that if you call a sync method first the async calls magically turn into synchronized ones - a rather undocumented behavior. Now we're seeing some similar quirks on the server side with HttpListener. We use BeginGetContext() to listen for a request. Our callback calls EndGetContext() to get the details and then immediately calls BeginGetContext() again to wait for another request. But then we read the request synchronously, post the work in a queue with the associated response object and move on. What we're seeing is that if the client sends several requests in a row, it blasts right through them but the server doesn't acknowledge even reading the 2nd request until after the response to the first request is written to and closed. Does HttpListener have some implicit serialization behavior like HttpWebRequest? Thanks Mark Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137904

I was using Process Explorer to look at something else, and I noticed something peculiar. All of our assemblies were in the Framework64 temporary assembly cache for the running process but Process Explorer had flagged them all as being 32-bit code.

The best fix for this issue is 1st: Uninstall the IIS server off of the computer. 2nd: Run the .NET FW 3.5 Installer 3rd: Re-Install IIS from the Windows CD-ROM. 4th: I was then able to install Visual Studio 2008 on my computer after fixing this. I hope this helps everyone out and sheds some light on installing. Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137902

    - Call for speakers for DataServices World (June 24, New York City) Call for Speakers Closes March 15 DataServices World New York City (June 24, 2008) The complexities of distributed processing and the importance of middleware can elude even senior technical people, including enterprise architects, IT managers, consultants and designers. Enterprise developers embraced the separation of presentation, data services and application logic. Internet computing, web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA) continued a trend towards moving data access and data integration logic into a separate data services layer. The data services layer, databases and data access are the focus of DataServices World. We're looking for technical presentations about architecture and solutions for data access and data integration from heterogeneous data sources including SQL tables, geo-coded data, content management systems, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, data warehouses, and web data. Topics of interest include: · End-to-end performance optimization: (database, metadata, data distribution, caching, query tuning, load balancing, protocols, data services) · Information as a service · Data services development: architecture, tools, LINQ, ADO.NET Entity Framework, Astoria · Essential capabilities for effective, robust, secure data services If you're interested in speaking, you must submit a proposal by March 15, 2008.

    - 403: Forbidden exception Hi there, I'm traying to consume a web service over an https:// connection (see some threads before ;-) ), and I got it: System.Net.WebException The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden. at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) ... Is this because I need to authenticate with username and password? Or is because of som certificate-related issue? In the first case (authentication), should I use the following? Service proxy = new Service(); //new web service proxy instance; string username = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Username"]; //read username from the config file string password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Password"]; //read password from the config file System.Net.NetworkCredential credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(username, password); proxy.Credentials = credentials; Thanks in advance, Giulio - Italia -- OnAir: Emily Loizeau - "Sur la route" http://www.giuliopetrucci.it Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137893

    - Passing a Generic as a Parameter This seems like something that should be possible, but I am having trouble setting up a function to accept a generic type as a parameter. A basic function that shows what I am trying to do: Public Class BaseRecord(Of T) Protected _id As Integer Public ReadOnly Property ID() As Integer Get Return _id End Get End Property End Class Public Class StringRecord Inherits BaseRecord(Of String) Private _value As String Public ReadOnly Property Value() As String Get Return _value End Get End Property End Class Public Class Validation Public Shared Function ValidateRecord(ByVal record As BaseRecord(Of Object)) As Boolean If record.ID < 0 Then Return False Else Return True End If End Function End Class However, when I try to call the validation function like this: Dim rec As New StringRecord() Validation.ValidateRecord(rec) I get an error stating "Value of type StringRecord cannot be converted to BaseRecord(Of Object)" I have tried making the function "Byval record as BaseRecord(Of T)" but it states that "Type T is not defined" Is there a way to pass this record as I am attempting or do I need to completely rethink the way I am wanting to do validation?

    - 1.1 install and 3.0 uninstall My computer runs Windows XP. I have a perpetual automatic update message for an Express Install. It is trying to install .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1. It fails, says simply it was unable to install, and then goes back into the windows update queue. I have read on other posts to try and uninstall from 3.0 downward and then reinstall from 1.1 forward. I am also unable to uninstall 3.0. It says that a newer version is on my computer and I need to remove from Add/Remove programs. The problem is I was trying to uninstall FROM Add/Remove programs. I have also tried the 3.0 uninstaller on the Microsoft website but it says "We did not find specified products to be installed." Excuse me - didn't the download say "Uninstall?" HELP!!! I'm so confused! Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137864

    - Socket connection was forcibly closed by the remote host Hy everyone, I have a little problem doing socket-programming. I've made a console-application with a socket listening on a sertain port to accept connections from other clients. The only thing my application has to do is accept the incomming clients, read the data and send it to a database. Everything works fine, but now and then my socket server seems to crash/hang. When I check my error-handling I see that my application is throwing this exception : "An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host" Restarting my application solves this problem. I don't know the reason, nor how to solve it. I've already surfed the internet al lot, but dit not come to an satisfying answer. Someone who can help me or who has experienced the same problem ?

    - Batch of Stored Procedures In our .Net 2.0 web service we need to insert/update data records into SQL Server 2005 that have been uploaded to us in XML documents. There could be anywhere from one to literally thousands of records in each uploaded transaction, and there are several dozen destination tables. Since performance is critical for this particular app, we were thinking of combining the stored procedure calls into configurable- sized batches using CommandType.Text and multiple concatenated EXEC statements, so we minimize database roundtrips as opposed to calling each SP individually in its own SqlCommand. Is this a good approach? One concern is that SQL Server would have to compile each and every batch since they will all be different, and the overhead involved in this could become significant. Is this really something to worry about, or not? Wouldn't a few batch compiles per transaction still be better than potentially thousands of roundtrips? Are there other problems with this approach? Of course we are planning to stress test to see how it actually responds, but I just wanted to get some opinions first in case someone has done this before and can give advice/recommendations/suggestions before we get too far into it. Thanks! MJ Tag: Microsoft Office compatible with Mac and Pc Tag: 137842

    - shared assembly in the GAC? I have created a shared assembly(adoio.dll) I have set the parameter to local copy = false, but when I run my installer, I still get a copy of this dll in my directory. The intention was to have a single copy in the GAC so if I wanted to update it, it would be done in a single place. What am I missing?

    - y of baseline in millimeter I need a method to write a string on a graphics pretty similar to DrawString but instead of specifying the (x,y) of the upper left corner of the imaginary rectangle that surrounds the string, I would like to specify the (x, y) of the baseline of the first caracter. Also, I use graph.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Millimeter, so, the (x,y) should be in millimeter. I tried to use some Font and FontFamily methods but couldn't figure out how to convert design unit metric into millimeter.

This is a newsgroup for .NET Framework programming questions only. You
appear to be asking an end-user related question, and as such it's
entirely inappropriate here.

You should find a more appropriate newsgroup for your question. If for no
other reason than that, while the basic answer to your question is "no,
there's no such thing as Office 2007 for the Mac", there's a fair amount
of elaboration on that question that you might benefit from and which
would only be appropriate to give in a different forum.
