 - open help file in .net application What I want to be able to do is open a help file from within my .NET application and have it behave like a help file from any other MS application. If the help button is pressed more than once I only want the one instance of the help to be open. This is what I have now to open the help file: =============================================== Process proc = new Process(); proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"winhlp32.exe"; proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-n " + mapId + " " + Application.StartupPath + @"\" + helpFile; proc.Start(); =============================================== Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 - Getting directory infrormation from Novell 5.1 I am developing a VB.NET/ASP.NET app and need to validate users, get their groups and other such login/password tasks from out company directory. That information is stored in a server running Novell 5.1. I have ben digging dee into the system.directoryservices spec but most of what I am seeing relates to AD. The Novell stuff shows lines such as: Dim objDE = New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DC=onecity") console.writeline(objDE.Properties("currentTime")(0)) This code produces the error: "The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted". The code stops on the SECOND line, which I think is strange. I checked with our network admin for the correct base tree on Novell and typed it in place of "onecity" in the above example. How can I access this directory to look up login names and validate passwords using VB.NET? Scott Tag: Simulating Longhorn Sidebar Tag: 61719

 - web service development hi, I'm using win2k professional, and i'm having trouble whenever i try to open a web service project in VS.NET 2003, I'm always getting this message: "Visual Studio .NET has detected that the specified Web server is not running ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.NET Web applications or services." The funny thing is that I never had that message before, It just started one day(I must have done something.. don't know what). So i tried executing C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322 \aspnet_regiis.exe -i didn't help .. so I remove all .NET components and VS.NET 2003, and did a reinstall... same error!

 - Can I allow varying types on a MustOverride I am looking to have a base class which provides that all inherited classes MUST have some property, but that they can each define it as whatever type they want. So maybe three class inherit from the base class, each MUST have a [Type] property, but one defines it as OracleType, one as SqlType and one as DB2Type, for example. I know i can just declare it as Object, and then have the classes each do typechecks on value assignment, but this is late-bound. I would like some way to implement this so that the type-specificity of each class is early-bound, allowing for compile time type checking. Is this possible? TIA- - Aaron. ============================================================== This is what i want (generic code)... Class BaseClass Public MustOverride Property Type ... other class code ... End Class Class OraClass Inherits BaseClass Public Overrides Property Type As OracleType ... other class code ... End Class Class SqlClass Inherits BaseClass Public Overrides Property Type As SqlType ... other class code ... End Class Tag: Simulating Longhorn Sidebar Tag: 61710

 - Assembly Reference Version Question I built several .NET dlls with assorted classes in them. My app references these DLLs in its reference section so I can use the classes. Is there something I can put into the AssemblyInfo or somewhere to tell the app that it should reference the latest version of the dll? It alwasy uses the one that it there, but if the version is different, I get a compiler warning about the version conflict. I was hoping to get rid of this. I saw that if you put it into the GAC, you can provide a publisher file that tells the system to upgrade the version. I don't want to put my stuff in hte GAC. Thanks.

 - wierd bug in binwriter?? (c#) the piece of code im working with is this: // writing to network socket via binwriter string test="hello"; bw_login.Write(test.PadRight(20,'!')); this works fine, however when i substitute the above with a static function bw_login.Write(socketstring.pad("hello")); the resulting output on my server has a "2" prepended to the string ie: "2hello" the function sockestring.pad looks like this: public static string pad(string outstring) { return (outstring.PadRight(20,'!')); } am i missing something?

 - Shared Dlls and Recompiling Hi There, Im currently working on a project with another developer. We've making two websites, both of which will share a common code library. Though the library is quite complete, we still find extra bits that need adding to it from time to time. Both web projects have the dll set up as a reference, but when that dll is recompiled, the web projects do not seem to notice that the dll is a newer version. We have to delete the reference and re-reference the dll. I thought that the versioning of components ha dbeen cleared up a bit with .Net, over the old COM model. Am i missing something? Thanks.

 - Class Design Could someone make a suggestion for this, and to make things simple lets assume every order can only have one product. (eliminating order details object) If I have a Order, Product and ShipType object do I return and Product object as a property of the Order object. Or do I simply store the productID into an int property of the order object. Same with the shiptype. I just read this chapter in an OOP practices book where they were storing the ID... is this correct? -mike Tag: Simulating Longhorn Sidebar Tag: 61687

 - Beginner: Thread not starting before UI Thread finishes? I am trying to write a Server Component that will spawn a database task in a thread and wait a certain amount of time for completion. If, at the end of this time, the job is not complete, I want the component to report this to the calling code and leave the Thread finishing the SQL Job. I tried to emulate this scenario with "Thread.Sleep()" in VB and it does what I want in a Console Application but not in a Windows Application. Could there be something special about Windows Application? My Console app code is as follows (feel free to use it in your projects!) Imports System.Threading Module Module1 Private _MyThread As Thread Const MainLoop As Integer = 3 Const ThreadLoop As Integer = 5 Sub Main() Dim Idx As Integer _MyThread = New Thread(AddressOf ThreadJob) Console.WriteLine("Before Launching Thread") _MyThread.Start() Console.WriteLine("After Launching Thread") For Idx = MainLoop To 1 Step -1 Thread.Sleep(1000) ' wait 1 sec Console.WriteLine("Main Loop...") Next If _MyThread.ThreadState = ThreadState.Running Then Console.WriteLine("Thread is running") Else Console.WriteLine("Thread is NOT running") End If End Sub Private Sub ThreadJob() Dim Idx As Integer Console.WriteLine("Thread Started") For Idx = ThreadLoop To 1 Step -1 Thread.Sleep(1000) Console.WriteLine("Thread Loop") Next Console.WriteLine("Thread Finished") End Sub End Module In the Windows app, I also start the Thread before my "Main" Loop but the thread code only starts after the "Main" Loop finishes. I was hoping that both threads would run somewhat in parallel. Thanks Eric Mamet Tag: Simulating Longhorn Sidebar Tag: 61666

 - what's causing this array index error?!?!? Hello: I am attempting to execute the following code which was created with Visual Studio 2003: SqlParameter[] DateParameters = new SqlParameter[5]; DateParameters[0] = new SqlParameter("@ConsumerDateID", _dateID); DateParameters[1] = new SqlParameter("@ConsumerID", Consumer.ConsumerID); DateParameters[2] = new SqlParameter("@ConsumerDateTypeID", _typeID); DateParameters[3] = new SqlParameter("@Value", _value); DateParameters[4] = new SqlParameter("@Index", _index); I am receiving the following error each time the runtime attempts to store the DateParameter[3] value (error thrown before next line even reached): "Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list." I have tried closing and recompiling my code on several occasions, and altering the size of the array, but cannot get this to execute properly. Is there an error in my code? Is there some type of IDE or compilation issue that might be causing this? Thanks for any insight! Chris Tag: Simulating Longhorn Sidebar Tag: 61659

 - Losing Session info on live server but not dev server Hi I have an asp.net application that opens a new browser window on clicking a hyperlink. I pass Session information across (using the APSnet user at runtime) sucessfully in the development environment. When deployed, the session info is lost and the IsNewSession variable is now true, i.e. a new SessionID. I'm guessing this is a IIS setting but can't find the answer. The Session info in the web config file is the same on both servers and machine config file too. I am using impersonation but that is working ok on both machines. Any ideas to try?

 - IPAddress range validation Hi, I'm trying to the best way to validate that a specified IP is inside a known range of IP. The IP is held in an IPAddress type which hold the actual IP in as long and so the statement: 224.1.0.0 > 224.0.1.0 does not necesarily translate to: 480 > 65760 (which is the representation of these IP as long). I would expect that i would able to do something like: ipAddress.Address > pAddress1.Address I know I can do all kind of string or mathematical manipulations but I am hoping for a more elegant solution that will take advantage of the fact that the data is held as IPAddress type.

 - Getting Third Party Component Suppliers to support NUnit and NUnitASP to support test driven development in web pages Hi, I've been using NUnitASP and found that it reaches it's limits very quickly. It has problems with parsing certain pages and raises errors for these when perhaps it shouldn't. Another downside is that it only supports the out of the box Microsoft controls. The people who are producing NUnitASP haven't been able to create another release for almost a year now. I was thinking how an impetus good be given to them to improve it and keep working on it. One such way would be to encourage makers of ASP.NET Web Controls to supply tester objects to be used with NUnitASP. For example I have been using ComponentOne's Suite and found it to be quite good. However I'd like to unit test the web pages with NUnitASP. I have asked ComponentOne to supply tester objects to be used with NUnitASP. IF third party suppliers supply support for unit testing then I think this will help generate the support needed to improve NUnitASP. Perhaps if it where funded to be maintained then we can get a better product and more reliability in testing of web pages. Interested to also hear about any other thoughts on this. Does anyone else to something different with testing web pages. We can ceratinly unit test our classes but I'd like to get the web page unit tested.

 - No Touch Deployment: Force Refresh of Assembly Download Cache My applications are being run using no touch deployment from a hosting web server. The client program calls AppDomain.ExecuteAssembly to start execution of the application. Most of the time everything works fine. However, my applications make use of a third party component and everytime they make a new version available they don't change their assembly version number but just the file version number. So whenever new features are added and one of my apps begins using the new feature the no touch deployment of the app is broken because the newer version is not detected on the web server and loaded over the previous version in the assembly download cache. Is there a way I can force ExecuteAssembly to not compare assembly version numbers and just overwrite all existing assemblies it needs to load? I don't want all my users to have to run 'gacutil /cdl' every time I make use of a new version from component vendor. Any other suggestions on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

 - String.Remove vs String.Substring Does anyone know if there's any performance difference between using these two methods or in what circumstances you should use one over the other? For instance if I want to cut off the first 10 characters in my string I could use either myString.Remove(0,10); myString.Substring(11); Thanks, Janaka Tag: Simulating Longhorn Sidebar Tag: 61546

 - issue with side by side execution I have a framework 1.0 application which is installed on a machine with 1.0 and 1.1 installed. Question 1: Is it running under 1.0? The application calls the LogonUser API call and to make it work, I had to change one of the ProcessModel elements in the Machine.Config file. Question 2: It would work on the machine in question if both 1.0 and 1.1 had their config files changed. Why? Tag: Simulating Longhorn Sidebar Tag: 61545

Hi,

Is there a component available to simulate Longhorn style Sidebar on
Windows XP ? Or is there a sample application somewhere to show how to do
that ?

Thanks in advance and regards

You could always use "bandit" and dock any app you want into the com
deskband on the start bar and just put it on the side, face it, until we get
widescreen monitors, having it on the side is just a waste of space.

Re: Simulating Longhorn Sidebar - Try LocalDesktop by Steve

How about Doug Thews' LocalDesktop:
http://www.ddconsult.com/blogs/illuminati/archives/000078.html
the updated version is here
http://www.ddconsult.com/blogs/illuminati/archives/000093.html
but the first link has a screenshot.

It's an ASP.NET web site you run on your local install of IIS then embed in
your desktop using the ActiveDesktop feature (finally a use for
ActiveDesktop!). Currently it only shows blog entries and a short favorites
list but since you get the source code you can make it show whatever you
want to. I embedded a java clock into mine and I'm adding a few more
features then Doug said he'd make my version available too but it's probably
a week away at a minimum. I don't remember everything that's in the Sidebar
but some of it could easily be put into LocalDesktop with a little coding
time.
