What is the actual runtime version of .NET 3.5 framework?
Hi all,
I am using release version of VS 2008 in projects targeting .NET 3.5,
however I just noticed that
System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetSystemVersion()
returns old "2.0.50727" - indicating that the code runs under .NET 2.0.
.NET 3.5 installed just fine - I resorted to creation of brand new
console project targeting .NET 3.5, it uses System.Linq, and compiles
and runs just fine, the test code I use is as follows:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine(".NET runtime version: {0}",
System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetSystemVersion());
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
}
There are no dependences on any old code in this example.
What's going on?!?! Can someone in the know confirm that this is
supposed to be the expected behavior (if so it is really really odd).

HttpListener and HTTP.sys questions
Hi...
Don't know if this is the best group for this, but didn't see another jump
out at me as a better choice...
I'm just getting my feet wet with System.Net.HttpListener (actually trying
to sort out what a legacy app is doing with it). At first, the whole thing
was confusing; I'm used to one process being able to own a socket on a port,
so this whole multiple listeners, possibly conflicting with IIS befuddled me
a little. Did some research and found the pages about HTTP.sys and the new
functionality.
A couple of questions (perhaps picayune) that I didn't see answered:
1) Which os process loads up http.sys and facilitates the many
processes/one port functionality?
2) The MSDN page for System.Net.HttpListener says that it needs Xp sp2 or
2003 to use - *but* Xp comes with IIS 5.1, not 6.0. The other pages I found
said that IIS 5.1 was built with winsock and is still bound to the
1-port/1-process model, while IIS 6+ was re-coded around the new HTTP.sys
functionality.
So when the System.Net.HttpListener docs say Xp sp2 at a minimum, I'm
inferring that that means "and either you use different ports or turn off IIS
5.1". Correct?
Thanks

Where to start?
Hi all,
I've been dabbling with various aspects of the new 3.5 technologies and I
can tell there's loads of potential for creating powerful new applications,
but I'm finding it tough to know where and how to start. I've been coding
on .NET since it was in its alpha incarnation way back in 2000, but this
latest version is a bit daunting. There are so many new technologies to
learn and many of them seem to have fairly steep learning curves. Has
anyone else found the same thing?
I want to release new versions of several applications ranging from a simple
desktop end-user app to an n-tier corporate app, and the promises of some of
these new technologies are very tempting. I'd love to use XAML for the
front end, skin the apps, introduce some simple animations to make the GUI
more intuitive etc. One of my n-tier suites would benefit from peer-to-peer
chat so I'm thinking WCF might be good for that. Printing has always been a
point of contention but it seems that WPF documents could change all of
that. I have no idea if WF could be of benefit to any of my apps, because I
simply don't know enough about what it's for!
The problem is, where to start? I've found plenty of "hello world" samples
for XAML and examples illustrating some of its concepts, but the few
tutorials I've found seem a bit lacking. XPS documentation is abysmal, and
I haven't even scratched the surface of WCF --- of course, this ignores
things like WF, CardSpace, SilverLight, XBAP etc etc. I can't even seem to
see many dedicated newsgroups on the MS server for things like WPF, which I
find quite amazing. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place?
At the moment I feel that if I were to just dive in and start coding, I'd
look at my work a few months later and wish I'd done most of it differently,
or would find so many better and easier ways to achieve what I'd just done
that would have cut my production time in half. For instance, when printing
with WPF should I just go right ahead and start coding the document
structure or could I use a tool like Expression to create some sort of
document template visually (and no doubt a lot more easily)?
What I'd love to find is a proper, MS (or MS endorsed) soup-to-nuts
application that covers all or most of the above technologies and uses them
with best practices in mind for a real world scenario, complete with source
code and some decent documentation. Something like "NorthWind for 2008".
Does anyone know of anything that fits the bill?
Thanks,

multiple SpeechRecognition Modules and different languages under .NET3.0
Hi Newsgroup,
I'm trying to use class "SpeechRecognitionEngine" under .NET 3.0.
My intention is, to recognize multiple grammers in different languages, thus
I've done the following:
.... do some initalization with the grammer objects....
- SpeechRecognitionEngine.LoadGrammer(oGermanGrammer)
- SpeechRecognitionEngine.LoadGrammer(oEnglishGrammer)
....
the "Grammer" is build by GrammerBuilder, with a given "Culture".
e.g.. grammarBuilder.Culture = new CultureInfo("en-US");
When loading the "english grammer" an exception is thrown by the framework
with the hint, that the actual Speechrecognition module does not match the
loaded grammer.
sfsg. under "Control Panel"->"Speech Properties" only the German Modul is
installed.
Is it possible to install and use multiple Speechrecognition modules (for
Vista and XP(SP2)) -> english, german, french at the same time to fulfill
the above requirement?
Thanks for your help!

ToolTip in the wrong spot.

Frustrated trying to position controls in a xaml window.
I'm trying to position controls in a window and am having a very difficult
time. I want all the controls to be anchored top/left so when I do the
final resizing of the window, all the controls sit in the same position.
However, as I place controls toward the right side of the form, the left
alignment changes to right, and the margin changes from ##,##,0,0 ##,##,##,0
to 0,##,##,0. so to position the control just as I want, I have to
painfully edit he margin values. In some cases, when the control is on the
right side of the form and the control has the value of ##,##,0,0, the left
margin is not what I would expect and the control repositions its self in a
place that doesn't make sense. Also the widths keep changing on me. This
is a royal pain.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Interprocess Communication: I need a mix of Remoting and Webservice
The problem:
I'm writting some software to manage a building.
All the devices (mostly doors and cameras) run a light version of Linux,
with mono inside
And we've got bigger Linux server (with mono inside).
The server need to talk to individual devices (door/camera).
Ideally I like to use remoting and have my device application listening to
one port.
But there are versioning issue with remoting (i.e. when the server class are
recompiled, all the client should be redeployed), hence I would like to use
something loosely coupled, like web services, but I could run directly from
my application without having to run IIS/Apache+mod_mono like remoting.

Managing errors while loading App.config
I am using 'Settings' (the auto-generated Properties.Settings) and
ConfigurationSection derived classes in my application.
If my configuration file (app.config) gets corrupted (or the user changes it
incorrectly) then I would like my application to pick up settings defaults
and not to keep trying to load from the config file, and hence create an
exception, each time.
Both the auto-generated Properties.Settings and ConfigurationSection derived
classes have defaults. What I'm currently getting is an exception every time
I reference one of these settings if the config file is corrupted.
If the config file is corrupted I would like to somehow set the
ConfigurationManager to an empty or null app.config file so that all
subsequent configuration settings calls will return defaults and won't keep
generating exceptions each time.
The application runs fine on defaults and is much better to do this than to
just terminate.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Tag: How to deploy an Icon to the desktop Tag: 136672

value. Unfortunately, I am now stumped at how to forward the callback
to the .Net framework copy of IDataObject.GetData so that the request
can be processed by the framework and ultimately forwarded to my
override of DataObject.GetData. The location that I would want to
forward the request is marked as "TODO:". Can this be done or do have I
have fully implement my own IDataObject.GetData routine?

throttling iocp threads in async server
Hello,
I'm designing an async socket server and I've read that the IOCP thread pool
can overwhelm the System.ThreadPool. I'm thinking about throttling the IOCP
threads by only allowing up to MAX connections to be accepted at any given
time where MAX is less than the number of threads in the System.ThreadPool.
So, for example, if the current number of accepted sockets is N (where N <
MAX), accepting a new connection increments N and closing an accepted socket
decrements N. If N == MAX, then no more new connections will be accepted
until N is decremented. While N == MAX, newly established TCP connections
simply queue up in the kernel waiting to be accepted.
Does this sound reasonable?
Thanks for any help,

Log specific level with log4net
Hello
I am using log4net in an application. I would like to log with some
specific levels, but I am not sure if it is possibel.
For instance I would like to log ERROR, FATAL and INFO, but not WARN.
The reason is that I would like tol log performance with INFO, but I
do not want to log warnings.
Is this possible?

Best way to store a connection string machine wide.
I have several applications running on a workstation all pointing to the same
sql server. I would like a way to save the connectionstring once on the
machine and have all my applications be able to read it. In the event of a
problem where we have to change servers, I would like to be able to update
the connection string in this one place and proceed.
I have examined shared assemblies, and I have thought of storing the
connection string in machine.config. I have been to successful with either
of these methods.
In VB6, is used a dll and it worked fine.
What is the preferred way of doing this.

Napster installer issue
I have Windows XP and I am trying to download the napster installer.
Everything works up until configuring the napster burn engine. I get a
registry error box there was a problem running the napster installer.
Download and try again. I get this over and over. Napster support after many
trys says something wrong with my computer. Any suggestions? Should I delete
everything to do with Napster in the registry and try again?
Thanks. Tag: How to deploy an Icon to the desktop Tag: 136572
Invalid value for key AttachDBFileName - related to 16-bit calling code ?
This thing is complicated so bare with me.
We have a pure .NET application using an SQL express database which we
deploy via ClickOnce. When we launch the application via the normal
shorcuts (internet or program files) it *always* works.
Now the beauty is that this application has to be launched from a ***16 bit
Delphi 1 application*** (nobody chooses this, neither did we - the 16bit app
will live for at least 2 years - and this application is still used by tens
of thousands of customers). This delphi application has a plugin mechanisms
which enabled us to load 16-bit "add-ins". The short shory is the 16 bit
application uses WinExec (exePath,SW_NORMAL) to launch our app. (we have
control over the parameters but not over the WinExec part - the first
parameter should be an EXE as well)
Since the 16-bit app can't call an appref-ms (we launch the appref-ms file
in program files\ourCompany\ourproduct as created by ClickOnce and
documented in http://safari.oreilly.com/0321197690 ) file directly and since
the clickonce application doesn't take program parameters, we have created
a man in the middle .NET application (MyBoot.EXE) to do the work for us. It
takes the commandline parameters from the delphi app and puts them in a
local file for the .NET ClickOnce app.
Now listen :
- on windows vista it always works
- on windows XP it sometimes works (but most of the time it does not)
- if I manually launch myBoot.EXE with the commandline parameters then it
always works.
The question :
- is there something different with Windows on Windows for 16 bit
applications between XP and Vista or is my Vista machine just faster than
all of the XP machines (3) on which I tested this ?
- how can I overcome this problem ?
(already tried increasing the timeout for the connection string but it
doesn't have anything to do with that - is it the switch between 16bit code
and 32 bit code? - I've also tried launching the .application file but that
doesn't help me either - I've also made the man in the middle a windows
application with an application.Doevents to take care of the warnings for
WinExec)
Thanks for any help,
Van den Driessche Willy.

HTTPMODULES are not executed after loading SP1 for .NET Framework
Hi,
I have working product in ASP.NET 2.0 using .NET framework 2.0 where the
HTTPModules is used and the code inside the module is executed fine.
I installed SP1 and now the HTTPMOdule code is not executed. I am using
Server.Transfer as part of my login page which is supposed to execute the
HTTPMOdules code. But it is not exceuting the code. I changed the code to
Response.redirect and the code is executed.
<httpModules>
<add name="Module1" type="HandlerCode.Module1, Module1"/>
</httpModules>
Is this a good solution or Microsoft has identified this as an issue and a
patch is available?
Please let me know.
Thanks,

fastest searchable datastructure?
Hi,
I need some type of array/list/... In which I can store objects together
with a unique key. The most important thing is performance: I will need to
do the whole time searches in the list of given keys. Which datastructure
will be best suited for this? A Hashtable? The list may contain upto 10^12
items, bit more proably most of the time +- 10^9 of even 10^6...
Thanks a lot in advance,

If you are creating a visual studio setup and deployment project, go to the
file system view. Right click the output of your application project and
select the option to create a shortcut. Drag the shortcut to the folder (in
that same view) you want the shortcut to be installed to, such as the desktop.
