    - Socket.Connected Hi there, I'm playing with Socket and Telnet (via hyperterminal). I'm trying to display a message when the client disconnect, that is when hyperterminal either close the connection, or is closed, on the client side. But, Socket.Connected always seems to return true, even though I do as in the doc and do a 0 byte Send before checking its value. Is there another way to know if a Socket is still connected to a client? Etienne Fortin Tag: Service Control Manager Custom Command Menu Tag: 99772

    - True asynchronous HttpWebRequest implementation with abort and timeout Hi, I'm tired of seeing all these asynchronous HttpWebRequest implementations that still tend to use a seperate thread or they just block. Two questions about the example below: 1) I wrapped the example below to a HttpGet class and fired Get (same as Main() below). It would still just block, until the response would be received. Commenting out the lines //allDone.WaitOne(); //myRequestState.response.Close(); made it work asynchronously, without blocking and without throwing an exception! hooray! But what am I giving away here? Is it ok to do that? 2) How do I implement an cancel method that aborts the request? HttpWebRequest.Abort() method does just that, but I don't see how the cancel method can get access to the RequestState, as it is passed around in async object manner? Found at MSDN under the HttpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse(): ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// using System; using System.Net; using System.IO; using System.Text; using System.Threading; public class RequestState { // This class stores the State of the request. const int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024; public StringBuilder requestData; public byte[] BufferRead; public HttpWebRequest request; public HttpWebResponse response; public Stream streamResponse; public RequestState() { BufferRead = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE]; requestData = new StringBuilder(""); request = null; streamResponse = null; } } class HttpWebRequest_BeginGetResponse { public static ManualResetEvent allDone= new ManualResetEvent(false); const int BUFFER_SIZE = 1024; const int DefaultTimeout = 2 * 60 * 1000; // 2 minutes timeout // Abort the request if the timer fires. private static void TimeoutCallback(object state, bool timedOut) { if (timedOut) { HttpWebRequest request = state as HttpWebRequest; if (request != null) { request.Abort(); } } } static void Main() { try { // Create a HttpWebrequest object to the desired URL.

    - How to control TCP/IP connections used with HttpWebRequest ? Hi All! After checking with packet sniffer that for every created HttpWebRequest / HttpWebResponse followed by Close() call my box creates new TCP/IP connection I just wonder if there is a way to use single long lasting TCP/IP connection with a given server for multiple HttpWebRequest / HttpWebResponse operations. Any ideas? Tag: Service Control Manager Custom Command Menu Tag: 99769

    - SerialPort and hardware flow control After some tests with a serial connection and the SerialPort class, I found out that in hardware flow control, you have to manually stop sending data when the CTS ligne goes low. I made some test and the SerialPort class doesn't seem to react to the CTS signal. If you tell to send 1000 bytes, it will send them no matter what the CTS level is. The only way I found to make all this works is by waiting for SerialPort.CtsHolding to become true and then send a single byte. And so on and so forth until the complete buffer is sent. I also found out that the Handshaking enumeration have a RequestToSend member but no "Hardware". So it really seems that the SerialPort class only handle automatically the RTS line and not the CTS line. Am I right or is there a way to tell the SerialPort class to handle the CTS signal, ie stop sending the bytes in the buffer momentarily until the CTS line is up?

    - .Resources differences between Visual Studio 2005 beta1 and beta2 Our build system builds against the 1.1 .Net framework, but uses msbuild from Visual studio 2005. This allowed us to create ant style .csproj build scripts, which we couldn't do with Visual Studio 2003. All of this worked fine with Visual Studio 2005 beta1. When we were forced to upgrade, with no notice, our build system no longer worked. In beta 1 there was a tool called cfresgen.exe which has been removed and replaced with resgen.exe in beta2. The cfresgen allowed us to compile our .resx resources files and convert them to .resources files which could be used when building against the 1.1 framework. The new resgen tool which has superceded this will again allow us to do this compilation, however when the .resources files it generates are used within the 1.1 framework they fail. The exception is: Message : System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ----> System.NotSupportedException : This .resources file shouldn't be used with this reader. Your resource reader type: System.Resources.ResourceReader, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 Stack-Trace : at System.Reflection.RuntimeConstructorInfo.InternalInvoke(BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture, Boolean isBinderDefault) at System.Reflection.RuntimeConstructorInfo.Invoke(BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture) at System.RuntimeType.CreateInstanceImpl(BindingFlags bindingAttr, Binder binder, Object[] args, CultureInfo culture, Object[] activationAttributes) at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, BindingFlags bindingAttr, Binder binder, Object[] args, CultureInfo culture, Object[] activationAttributes) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.CreateResourceSet(Stream store) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.InternalGetResourceSet(CultureInfo culture, Boolean createIfNotExists, Boolean tryParents) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString(String name, CultureInfo culture) at System.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString(String name) Anybody else seen this problem and been able to workaround it?

    - marshal complex structures to native C dll Hi All, I have a problem with marshaling complex structures (containing numbers, strings, arrays of another structures) to native C function in dll. I have already posted same question to .compactframework thread, but nobody helped. main problem is that I have tried all the workarounds I have found in the Inet but nothing worked... I tried passing IntPtr, Byte Arrays, Serialisation, even used OpenNETCF, but all failed. I have even compiled own C dll (eVC 4.0) with same structures and functions, and there I can see what is passed in params and can return needed values. Result - the structure I pass to the function is empty and the structure I return from the function is not retrieved to outside (I have same structure that passed to function with no changes) any ideas?

    - OnStop timing out, service manager terminating process? I have a C# service that spawns multiple worker processes which it controls through remoting. The worker processes call 3rd party, unsafe components, which can and do bahave badly, and will eat memory and stall, or just hang on occasion. So now I've run into a problem where I want OnStop to attempt to shutdown the worker processes cleanly, wait for a short period and finally terminate the worker processes with Process.Kill if they don't respond. The problem seems to be that the service manager will stop the service, OnStop will execute for 30-60 seconds, and the service manager simply terminates the service process before it can kill the worker processes. When this happens, I end up with rogue worker processes that are consuming resources and difficult to kill. Is there any way to figure out how long I can wait? Is there any way to extend the shutdown time, by sending status to the service manager? I can't seem to find any documentation on how long OnStop is allowed to execute, and it seems to terminate the service process at varying times in my shutdown process.

    - Passing parameters to HandleException Hi All. I am testing Microsoft Enterprise Library - June 2005 Exception Handling, and I am trying to pass parameters to HandleException Method, and recieve it in my implementation of the abstract class. However, it seems that the HandleException can only implement: public abstract Exception HandleException( Exception exception, string policyName, Guid handlingInstanceId And that you can not add your own override implementation. Does some one knows if this doable and how ? What I tried to do is to implement the HandleException by adding more parameters after the GUID parameter. The problem is that it would not compile. Example void func(string strData) { try { ... } catch(Exception e) { ExceptionPolicy.HandleException(e,"DAL",strData); } } Tag: Service Control Manager Custom Command Menu Tag: 99759

    - Threading question Ok, I'm trying to learn how to use threading, but I've run into a problem. I'm doing this in VB.Net. I started out making something pretty simple. Just a sort of wrapper for cmd.exe. I used separate threads to read from stdin and stderr. It seemed to be working ok. Then I added macros to it. Here's what's happening. The sub that runs the commands gets called several times in a row very quickly. It's spawns a new cmd.exe process each time, and a couple of threads to listen for the output. The problem is that the commands can take different amounts of time to finish, so the output I get is all out of order. I need to make sure that the commands run one at a time, each one waiting until the previous one is done. How exactly can I do that? Tag: Service Control Manager Custom Command Menu Tag: 99742

What happens is that when a dataset is being merged an exception is being thrown which reads System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Load factor needs to be between 0.1 and 1 This hasn't been an issue until a day or so ago when we did our latest build. The dataset has not changed significantly recently, it does have a reasonable number of tables although we can get the issue when there is very little in the various tables.

    - unable to install SQL Express 2005 CTP Hi, Am trying to install SQL Server Express CTP on my machine (Windows XP with SP1). I have downloaded the windows installer and .net framewrok specified in the readme file(ReadmeSQLEXP2005.htm) and also followed the steps given. but could not install express. I tried installing both June and april edition. When I tried to install april edition the below error window is popped up when the setup is in progress during configuring "SQL Server Database Services", But am logged in windows domain with admin rights and also I tried running setting through a local admin user (not logged to win domain) but still facing the same error. "Please user an admin account when installing on XP SP1 Systems. Setup cannot proceed with non-admin accounts on XP SP1 systems. Refer to the product documentation for more information" When I tried to install june edition the following error was shown before any install window popped. I used the uninstall wizard and removed .net framework and again installed framework (tried with different version of 2.0 framework like *64,*86, IA64) "SQL Server 2005 CTP Setup has detected incompatible beta components from Visual Studio or SQL Server. You must run the build cleanup wizard from the CD to remove previous SQL Server 2005 components and .NET Framework components, and then run SQL Server 2005 CTP Setup again. For detailed instruction on uninstalling SQL Server builds, see the SQL Server 2005 CTP readme file" Can you please help me resolving this issue Thanks in advance Varadaraj R Tag: Service Control Manager Custom Command Menu Tag: 99693

    - Dynamically Create Type By Version Our software is interface based meaning that we don't add any references to implemntation assemblies. All loading is done via Activator.CreateInstance(assembly, class name). Our components that we are instancing are loaded in the GAC. In preparing for a version change in our software we are wondering how we would be able to instance a particular version of a component. Say I know the class name and assembly, yet there is a version 1.0.0.0 and a version 2.0.0.0 and I specifically want to load version 1.0.0.0. What can I do to ensure this is the version that I get? There doesn't seem to be an overload for loading a particular version of a component via Activator. I thought I would create the type as well, but I can't fiure out how to specify version. Any thoughts? If there is a better newsgroup to post this question on, please let me know. Thanks, -- Brian R. Tag: Service Control Manager Custom Command Menu Tag: 99682

    - Raising Events using Threads in VB.NET I'm currently trying to solve a problem that has evaded me for months now. I am attempting to raise an event from a custom class that can be handled by the main UI. Here's an example of my class: Imports System.Threading Public Class ASyncTestObject Private Delegate Sub ThreadEndDelegate(ByRef e As ASyncTestObject.ASyncTestObjectEventArgs) Private D As New ThreadEndDelegate(AddressOf OnThreadEnd) Public Event ThreadEnd(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ASyncTestObjectEventArgs) Private _W As Thread Private _e As ASyncTestObjectEventArgs Public Class ASyncTestObjectEventArgs Inherits EventArgs End Class Private Delegate Sub Callback(ByVal e As IAsyncResult) Protected Sub OnThreadEnd(ByRef e As ASyncTestObjectEventArgs) Trace.WriteLine("Raising event from " & Thread.CurrentThread.Name) _e = e RaiseEvent ThreadEnd(Me, _e) End Sub Private Sub Work() Trace.WriteLine("New ASyncObject working from " & Thread.CurrentThread.Name) _W.Sleep(5000) D(New ASyncTestObjectEventArgs) End Sub Public Sub New() Trace.WriteLine("New ASyncObject created by " & Thread.CurrentThread.Name) _W = New Thread(AddressOf Work) _W.Name = "Worker Thread" _e = New ASyncTestObjectEventArgs End Sub Public Sub StartWork() Trace.WriteLine("New ASyncObject started on " & Thread.CurrentThread.Name) _W.Start() End Sub End Class However, as I follow my code, the Trace.WriteLine method identifies that the object is being called from the Worker Thread. As I handle the event in a console application, the event is being handled on the Worker Thread instead of the Main Thread. Here's the example of my console application test: Imports ASyncObject Module Module1 Private WithEvents A As ASyncTestObject Sub Main() System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Name = "Main Thread" A = New ASyncTestObject Console.WriteLine("Starting worker process...") A.StartWork() Console.WriteLine("Worker process working...") Console.ReadLine() End Sub Private Sub A_Done(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ASyncTestObject.ASyncTestObjectEventArgs) Handles A.ThreadEnd Trace.WriteLine("New ASyncObject.ThreadDone handled by " & System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.Name) Console.WriteLine("Worker process completed.") End Sub End Module Any insights or resources would be welcome as I have struck out trying to find resources on my own. Thanks! Tag: Service Control Manager Custom Command Menu Tag: 99664

The ASP.NET VB Quickstart tutorials have web form examples some of which connect to the database. They do not work and I get 'server does not exist or access denied' when I try to run any of the database examples. If I revert back to asp and write a simple asp program that does an ADODB connections and select, it works just fine. Anybody help me on this? Is there an in which these are supposed to be installed?

    - Need advice how to approach project? Hello All! I'm getting ready to build an application in vb.net. It's a game the will will have a countdown clock, keep track of points and user inputs. One game that will be played by the same people. It will be hooked up on a private network, possible up to 100 workstations, connected to a SQL server for the database, and another server that will control when to start games, stop games, start and stop the timeclock, etc. So my question is, what would be the best way to build this. Should I use asp.net and treat as a web application, or would I use web services? This won't be on the web, and I don't want to use IE as my client application, unless I can make the browser look like just a window with my game in it. No title bar or anything like that. I'm in new territiory here, so any help or suggestions. Any books or articles I can read to get a better understanding of what I'm getting into would be great! TIA!!!

    - Killing background thread when in blocking call Hi: I have a class that needs to request/receive updates from a server over a network connection for the entire life of the application. I use a background worker thread to do this, and then send updates to the main thread using events. This works great. My issue is that when a user wants to terminate the application, the thread could be (will be) in any number of blocking calls, for example BinaryReader.ReadByte. Almost all of what my background thread does is pull data from the server via a TcpClient > Stream > BinaryReader. I've done lots of reading on the topic, and everyone seems to say that I sould use a ManualResetEvent and have the thread check periodically that this event hasn't been Set. I do this now. The problem is that even though I check to see if the event has been set, the next line of code will start a blocking read. I don't want to use Thread.Abort, and I don't want to switch to non-blocking calls on the socket. What am I missing? Thanks. Dave P.S. Why not use a bool instead of a ManualResetEvent? Are value types not thread safe? Tag: Service Control Manager Custom Command Menu Tag: 99641
