    - Shared Assembly Problem in Remoting I am having a problem when using a shared assembly with remoting. I have a shared assembly (shared.dll) added in the gloabal assembly cache. The remoting server application (server.exe) uses this shared.dll. I have added a reference of this assembly with set local property false. On client application (client.exe), i have also added the shared.dll assembly's reference. When i execute the server app (server.exe), it starts with no problem. When i start the client application, it gets crashed with the FileNotFoundException saying that it can't find the shared.dll assembly and shows the server assembly's path while the server continues to execute without any problem. I have managed to solve the problem by making the copy local property of shared.dll assembly's reference to true at server side. But, this is not what required... I want to use the shared assembly from its original location (global assembly cache). If someone can tell me what exactly is the problem, i would be grateful. Thanks, Faraz Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 54105

    - Microsoft Powerpoint AutoShape / object structure HI! I have two expert questions: 1. Is it possible to add new (own) End Styles of arrows in the Format AutoShape window (Colors and Lines) drop down box? 2. How is it possible to access the object structure in PowerPoint. I mean by this accessing the objects that are created on the given slide. I would like to identify the selected object, maybe check its category (arrow, text, etc), take and pass it to my program. Then put the changed object back into the slide instead of the selected object. Off course I will ensure the right format. But what format is it? I am all ears! gicio Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 54101

    - HttpWebRequest - the 6 million dollar question I'm posting this again as it's been 1 week now and still not a single reply, surely someone must have come across this problem! I've hit a brick wall with this one.. I'm trying to perform a HttpWebRequest that posts form data to the target server - the problem is that the request *always* contains an Expect: 100-continue header, which on HTTP 1.0 servers results in a 500 error. None of these seemingly obvious fixes work: Set the HttpWebRequest.Expect property to null or String.Empty Set the HttpWebRequest.ProtocolVersion to HttpVersion.Version10 Note that my class works perfectly with HTTP 1.1 servers, so I doubt there's anything I've done incorrectly in code. Also note that the problem only surfaces when you POST data to the server with the request, no post data = no problem. Searching google for this problem has given me a few people that have hit the same problem, but not one valid workaround. Help! Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 54100

    - async callback problem Hi, I'm using a async callback mechanism to receive data from the socket. Once the data is received, I parse the data and if certain information is received I open a new form. Everything goes fine until the form is opened. The opened form seems to freeze and does not refresh (no errors are generated). However, If I output the received data to the console it seems to be receiving data. The problem is only with the UI. Part of the code is included below (pls let me know if you need the entire source code). private void Receive() { try { if ( callbackProc == null ) callbackProc = new AsyncCallback(ReceiveCallback); StateObject state=new StateObject(); state.workSocket = s; s.BeginReceive(state.buffer, 0, StateObject.BufferSize, SocketFlags.None, callbackProc, state); } catch (Exception ex) { MessageBox.Show(ex.Message); } } private void ReceiveCallback (IAsyncResult ar) { try { StateObject state = (StateObject) ar.AsyncState; int bytesRead = state.workSocket.EndReceive(ar); string szData = System.Text.Encoding.Unicode.GetString (state.buffer, 0, bytesRead); frmNew n = new frmNew(); n.show(); Receive(); } catch (Exception ex) { throw new Exception(ex.Message); } } Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 54097

    - Reflection: Get type signed with attribute Hi! We defined an attribute that can be applied to a type multiple times (AllowMultiple = true). A type can have numerous instances of that attribute that it may have inherited from its base classes. Problem: If we have an instance of that attribute how can we find out which class originally was signed with that specific instance. E.g: [AttributeUsage( AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = true )] public class MyAttribute : Attribute { public MyAttribute( int intVal ) { ... } } [My(1)] class Base { } [My(2)] class Child : Base { } So Child is signed with My(1) and also My(2). If we have My(1), how can we get the type that was signed with My(1), in this case Base. TIA, Markus -- ########################################## Please do not send replies to msdngroups@syska.de.

    - FileSystemWatcher returns changed files in lower case Hi, The FileSystemWatcher works fine to return the files changed. However, the path returned through FileSystenArgs.FullName is always in lower cases, e.g., c:\projectfiles\watched\foo.txt even though both the directory and file names are in proper case like c:\ProjectFiles\Watched\Foo.txt. I've tried to instantiate a DirectoryInfo or FileInfo with the returned file path, hoping they will return the path in proper case but without success. Is there a work around? The project I'm working on copies the changes to another machine so it's important that I can maintain the case so users won't get confused.

    - Please help us... POSTing with Http/WebRequest I have noticed that a lot of people were having a similar problem to mine which involves using the POST method with the HttpWebRequest/WebRequest/WebClient classes (.NET 1.1). The classes will send out one HTTP packet that says content of a certain length will follow but the second packet is never sent, which usually results in a 400 error from the server. I've tried my code on both HTTP 1.0 and 1.1 servers and both gave the same result. Here is my example: Try Dim LogInURL As String = "http://s2.starkingdoms.com/scripts/main.cgi" 'Dim LogInURL As String = "http://sklone.homeip.net/scripts/BrowserLogin.aspx" Dim Account As String = "blah" Dim Password As String = "blah" Dim Request As Net.HttpWebRequest = Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(LogInURL) Request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Request.Method = "POST" Request.ProtocolVersion = Net.HttpVersion.Version10 'Request.ProtocolVersion = Net.HttpVersion.Version11 Dim RequsetStream As IO.Stream = Request.GetRequestStream() Dim ASCIIEncoding As New System.Text.ASCIIEncoding Dim PostData As Byte() = ASCIIEncoding.GetBytes("Account=" & Account & "Password=" & Password) RequsetStream.Write(PostData, 0, PostData.Length) RequsetStream.Close() Dim Reader As New IO.StreamReader(Request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()) Dim ResultHTML As String = Reader.ReadToEnd() Reader.Close() MsgBox(ResultHTML) Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) End Try And here's what happens: POST /scripts/main.cgi HTTP/1.0 Content-Length: 25 Connection: Keep-Alive Host: s2.starkingdoms.com Followed by the Bad Request (400) error.

    - Multiple frameWorks, Serialization and Versions Hi I got some type of form designer where I could open up a .net form (done with reflection in run time so I'm not using design time environment or anything) move controls around and finally save the form. What it really saves is an xml file where controls properties are binary serialized. Next time I open up the form I could just load this this xml file deserialize properties and assign them to corresponding objects. Now the problem is the controls that I have are the custom controls inherited from dotnet ones, and we have a total build process that runs everyday and changes versions of these controls. So we are using simple binary serialization (doesn't include versions). This is fine if you don't have another version of .net framework in gac. What would you suggest here?

    - Socket.Select Bug?? There seems to be a 64 element limit on any socket list passed as a argument to the select method. Someone else in the forum traced the IL code, and found some problems in the following code, I don't know if it is a bug. In this method , it first stored the count of the socketlist we passed in with out any range check, and then if the count isn't zero, the method will always allocate a native int[64] array, which ofcourse doesn't match with the value in FileDescriptorSet.Count, then the IndexOutOfRangeException is thrown in the following codes. maybe the conceptual code in c# like this: FileDescriptorSet(Int32 count) { Count = count; if (!Count) Array = new IntPtr(64); else Array = null; } System.Net.Sockets.FileDescriptorSet ..method public hidebysig specialname rtspecialname instance void .ctor(int32 count) cil managed { // Code size 27 (0x1b) .maxstack 8 IL_0000: ldarg.0 IL_0001: ldarg.1 IL_0002: stfld int32 System.Net.Sockets.FileDescriptorSet::Count IL_0007: ldarg.0 IL_0008: ldarg.1 IL_0009: brfalse.s IL_0014 IL_000b: ldc.i4.s 64 IL_000d: newarr [mscorlib]System.IntPtr IL_0012: br.s IL_0015 IL_0014: ldnull IL_0015: stfld native int[] System.Net.Sockets.FileDescriptorSet::Array IL_001a: ret } // end of method FileDescriptorSet::.ctor Any comments are welcome.

    - Upgrade .NET Framework Hello All, I was trying to use FolderBrowserDialog dialog box that is supported only in version 1.1 of .NET Framework. So I upgraded the .NET framework from 1.0 to 1.1 by downloading the dotnetfx.exe. Everything went well with Upgrading but still .NET didn't recognize FolderBrowserDialog type and when I checked the version .NET Framework in "About Microsoft Visual Basic .NET" it showed the version is still 1.0. Any idea about this issue? Or do you know any other way rather than using the FolderBrowserDialog in VB? I appreciate your help in advance. Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 54033

    - Windows Communication & Application Instancing in DotNet Good Morning, My problem is 2 fold. First of all, I want to find out a method of detecting whether a prev. instance of an application is already running (I think I already figured this out), and if so, send a message to that already running application (I am thinking by using the WIN32 API Call of "SendMessage"). I am trying to build an application within which I could do instancing/hooking. Basically, I want to be able to build an application that would be able to detect if another instance of it is already running, and if so, communicate with that already running instance, and send a command, and shut its self down. Almost the same behavior that outlook express has... i.e. if you already have outlook express already running and you attempt to lunch the executable again... it doesn't create a new instance of outlook. I currently have a function called PrevInstance() that detects whether or not a prev. instance of the same app is already running.. My only problem now is communicating with that already running instance of my application. Public Function PrevInstance() As Boolean If UBound(Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrent Process.ProcessName)) > 0 Then Return True Else Return False End If End Function -- Awah Teh DigicentriQ Technologies, LLC awaht@digicentriq.com www.digicentriq.com 877 675 4742 805 732 9421 -- Awah Teh Chief Executive Officer DigicentriQ Technologies, LLC awaht@digicentriq.com www.digicentriq.com 877 675 4742 805 732 9421 Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 54027

    - Connection delay after upgrade to .NET 1.1 When making a socket connection to a server from a client using the new .NET Framework version 1.1 in a Web Application, we are getting a severe delay in the granting of the socket connection. We did not get this using the previous version of .NET (1.0...). The delay is between 1 and several minutes long. Finally, after the delay, the socket connection is made with no abnormal messages. Then, as long as that IE remains up, we can dis-connect and re-connect as many times as we want with no delays at all. Any and all comments would be greatly appreciated.

    - HttpWebRequest, transfer-encoding? I need to post some data to a server. As I understand it (which is not to say I do understand it) I should be able to include a "transfer-encoding:" header of say- gzip, then gzip my content before posting. Since it is a transfer-encoding, I assume any half decent web server should be able to automatically ungzip it before passing it on to whatever app needs to handle it. Is this assumption correct? If so, does .NET support gzip transfer encoding or do I need an external library, program, etc. If external is necessary, where should I look.

    - Why does Microsoft have such a hard time understanding what they say? You know there is a difference between the Microsoft .NET Framework and the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK. Besides the fact that the former is 20 some MB and the latter is some 100MB there is a difference you know. But not according to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;306160 This command near the bottom: N:\dotnetframework\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\temp /c:"msiexec.exe /i c:\temp\netfx.msi REINSTALL=ALL ReinstallMODE=vomus" has not a damn thing to do with the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK. This is a reinstallation of the Microsoft .NET Framework which is NOT the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK as the title of this article says. To me this is like the misunderstanding of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express. Why does Microsoft have such a hard time understanding what they say? And finally is there a repair for the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK not to be confused with the Microsoft .NET Framework?

    - JIT For those of you coding windows Application under the framework you must noticed that forms take a performance hit loading the first time. This is because of JIT, I was able to fix this behavior by using ngen.exe, but then I don't get the same optimization JIT gives me and it is a headache for installations (negen has to be called right after the installation). According to Microsoft, a function gets JIT to native code the first time it is accessed.

    - ICertificatePolicy question. All, I've implemented a class that inherits the ICertificatePolicy interface. I then set ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = this. In my CheckValidationResult(), I log server cert info and return true. Now say for example, the CN name on the server cert does not match the site name, my CheckValidationResult() function is called. After returning true, if I go to the same site- my CheckValidationResult() is not called again. I assume because I returned true, and it has cached that information. My question is can I change this behavior so it will always call my CheckValidationResult() on each new request, if there is a cert problem? I've checked ServicePointManger and ServicePoint but do not see any method that would clear, flush, reset, etc. this information. Regards Erin. Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 53954

This is my class public interface IShowDialog { string Caption { set; } void ShowDialogOut(); } public class ShowDialog : IShowDialog { private string _strCaption; public ShowDialog() { } public string Caption { set { _strCaption = value; } } public void ShowDialogOut() { System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(_strCaption); } } The following is the code in the client. ATL::CComPtr<ShowDialogLib::IShowDialog> pShowDialog; HRESULT hr = pShowDialog.CoCreateInstance(L"ShowDialogLib.ShowDialog"); if (FAILED(hr)) AfxMessageBox("Error in Loading ShowDialogLib.dll"); else { pShowDialog->put_Caption(L"Hello World"); pShowDialog->ShowDialogOut(); pShowDialog.Release(); } My question is when I use pShowDialog->put_Caption(L"Hello World"), the message box will show nothing. But if I use CString str = "Hello World"; pShowDialog->put_Caption(str.AllocSysString()); The message box can show the text "Hello World". I want to know why does it behave like that? -- My C++ and C# ( Traditional Chinese ) Web Site : www.franzwong.com Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 53945

    - Event and Delegate Hello, i am just a newbie! i don't understand the statement theClock.OnSecondChange += new Clock.SecondChangeHandler (TimeHasChanged); what is the statement doing ? And also, why should we "subscribe" "dc" and "lct" before running the clock? THANKS! namespace Programming_CSharp { using System; using System.Threading; // a class to hold the information about the event // in this case it will hold only information // available in the clock class, but could hold // additional state information public class TimeInfoEventArgs : EventArgs { public TimeInfoEventArgs(int hour, int minute, int second) { this.hour = hour; this.minute = minute; this.second = second; } public readonly int hour; public readonly int minute; public readonly int second; } // our subject -- it is this class that other classes // will observe. This class publishes one event: // OnSecondChange. The observers subscribe to that event public class Clock { // the delegate the subscribers must implement public delegate void SecondChangeHandler ( object clock, TimeInfoEventArgs timeInformation ); // the event we publish public event SecondChangeHandler OnSecondChange; // set the clock running // it will raise an event for each new second public void Run( ) { for(;;) { // sleep 10 milliseconds Thread.Sleep(10); // get the current time System.DateTime dt = System.DateTime.Now; // if the second has changed // notify the subscribers if (dt.Second != second) { // create the TimeInfoEventArgs object // to pass to the subscriber TimeInfoEventArgs timeInformation = new TimeInfoEventArgs( dt.Hour,dt.Minute,dt.Second); // if anyone has subscribed, notify them if (OnSecondChange != null) { OnSecondChange( this,timeInformation); } } // update the state this.second = dt.Second; this.minute = dt.Minute; this.hour = dt.Hour; } } private int hour; private int minute; private int second; } // an observer. DisplayClock subscribes to the // clock's events. The job of DisplayClock is // to display the current time public class DisplayClock { // given a clock, subscribe to // its SecondChangeHandler event public void Subscribe(Clock theClock) { theClock.OnSecondChange += new Clock.SecondChangeHandler(TimeHasChanged); } // the method that implements the // delegated functionality public void TimeHasChanged( object theClock, TimeInfoEventArgs ti) { Console.WriteLine("Current Time: {0}:{1}:{2}", ti.hour.ToString( ), ti.minute.ToString( ), ti.second.ToString( )); } } // a second subscriber whose job is to write to a file public class LogCurrentTime { public void Subscribe(Clock theClock) { theClock.OnSecondChange += new Clock.SecondChangeHandler(WriteLogEntry); } // this method should write to a file // we write to the console to see the effect // this object keeps no state public void WriteLogEntry( object theClock, TimeInfoEventArgs ti) { Console.WriteLine("Logging to file: {0}:{1}:{2}", ti.hour.ToString( ), ti.minute.ToString( ), ti.second.ToString( )); } } public class Test { public static void Main( ) { // create a new clock Clock theClock = new Clock( ); // create the display and tell it to // subscribe to the clock just created DisplayClock dc = new DisplayClock ( ); dc.Subscribe(theClock); // create a Log object and tell it // to subscribe to the clock LogCurrentTime lct = new LogCurrentTime( ); lct.Subscribe(theClock); // Get the clock started theClock.Run( ); } } } Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 53898

    - .NET Framework Path Hello all, Just a quick question... Is it true that the path of the .NET framework SDK files is always under: {windir}\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{version} ? I.e. is there anyway the user could change this path? I'm asking this because I am currently creating an IDE for .NET programming and wanted to know the path for csc.exe, vbc.exe, ilasm.exe, etc... If the path is variable, then I will get the user to choose it from a dialog. Thanks for your help, Aaron Chan Tag: Sluggish Performance All Round Tag: 53890

I'm just wondering if anyone else feels the same way I do. I find Windows XP
Pro an annoyingly sluggish O/S where almost every basic task has an
associated (and noticeable) reaction time. I've got a couple of hi-spec
desktop machines but it doesn't seem to matter how much horse-power I throw
at it (cpu, hd, hd controlllers, ram, etc) it still runs like a dog. I've
tried turning off just about every "advanced" (aka power-sucking) feature
but it doesn't make a jot of a difference. THEN, on top of this creaker we
have to add the .NET framework and Visual Studio... and it's like being back
in the days of 300 baud terminals (without a GUI, of course). Maybe you
disagree?

Try going to My Computer, right click to get Properties.

Then you can adjust somewhere in there for Performance.....

It makes a big, big difference in Windows XP
