    - WebRequest timeout changed declaratively Hi all, We have some performance issues on a .NET 2.0 app. However we cannot modify it, we don't have the sources. Reading the logs, the error is a timeout happening in some Web Service call. With the sources, it would be easy (?!), would have just changed WebRequest.Timout to a bigger value, but we don't have sources. Is there a way to change the default value, which is 100 seconds, declaratively (in web.config, machine.config... etc.) or even somewhere else like in the registry? Or is it hard coded in the framework? I have been struggling on this, but haven't found a lead... Thanks, Cédric Tag: .net framework updates Tag: 125866

    - SQL Server Problem. Hi. I hope someone smarter than me could help me with this strange problem. I created a system which needs to connect to a SQL database. Initially the programs were designed in Visual Studios 2003 .Net, and the database was SQL Server 2000. After a long wait, I finally got the go ahead to install the software for the client, and I managed to get the PDA software to connect with the database. But after a while, I installed the SQL Server 2005 and the Management Studio for the Sql Server. But this is now where my problem arises. I tried connecting to the database again with the PDA, but it now says "Index 0: Server does not exist or access denied" and I have checked the same settings with the server application, but the application on the server logs into the database. Even if I try removing everything, uninstalling the system, wiping the database, and resetting the PDA, I still end up with that problem. This now occured after I installed SQL Server 2005, and I can't figure out why this problen now surfaces, and even if I remove SQL Server 2005, it still says "Index 0: Server does not exist or access denied" on the PDA. Here is my connection string I pull out of a File I wrote: mSession.CurrentConnection.ConnectionString = "Data Source=test;Initial Catalog=DB;User Id=sa;Password=sa@123"; If I run this from my work computer, everything runs fine, but as soon as I switch to the test computer, that error keeps on popping up. Any way I can completely uninstall the WHOLE sql server from the test computer? Every single file and folder? I already removed it by using Control Panel Add Remove Programs, yet I still have this problem. Does anyone have a solution without needing to reformat a server? All and any help is greatly thankful.

    - How do I grant permissions to my .NET 2.0 program in Windows 2003? I created an application under C# that runs as a Windows Service. On my workstation the application runs fine. On my Windows 2003 server, it doesn't. I used the .NET framework 2.0 InstallUtil to install my Windows Service. The service appears in the service list, and if I try to start it, it fires up and I can see in the Event Log that the application started. However, the first thing my application does is write an event to the Windows event log to check in, and that event doesn't appear. The second thing the application will do is insert a record in a SQL server database, that doesn't happen either. I used to compile and run this on my Windows 2003 server just fine for framework v1.1. With 1.1 I would just use the administrative tools in the control panel to assign a trust level to my application. However, it seems to have changed under 2.0 and now I can't figure out how to give my application the necessary permissions to write to the event log or open a network connection. Are there any articles that will walk a person through how to do this? I'm searching MSDN and Google to no avail... Thank you! David Tag: .net framework updates Tag: 125848

    - ClickOnce with prerequisites Is ClickOnce deployment appropriate for an app where you have to ensure that the user has the correct framework installed (2.0) and also installs the SQLExpress plus scripts in the database? I've never used the ClickOnce technology before and am debating whether to use a batch script, an InstallShield package or ClickOnce. Any advice is appreciated.

    - MI5 Persecution: Dirk Gently on the Toronto Case Dirk was on the West Coast when he got the call. An old friend at the Toronto police department thought he would like to fly up and take a look at a homicide which had occurred the previous evening. He decided to skip the last day at the World Holistics conference and take the next plane out of San Francisco. The flight was bad; Dirk had been hit on the back of the head by the Newspaper trolley, the drinks trolley, the dinner trolley and now the gift trolley. When the hostesses weren?t trying to tear his arm off they pestered him to stop leaning into the aisle - ignoring the fact that the guy next to him was taking up one and a half seats. Air Canada used to be the flight which was so good you just didn?t wanna get off - on this occasion Dirk would be glad to see the back of the plane and the over sized alternative comedian wedged into the window seat. After breathing in a couple of lungfulls of crisp Canadian air Dirk took a taxi into town. There was a small group of demonstrators outside the MacDonalds and the taxi driver insisted on stopping on the opposite side of the street. ?Don?t Eat Meat? the placards read and the demonstrators chanted. A couple of policemen where stopping the crowd entering the restaurant itself - one held up his arm and challenged Dirk. A wave of the fax he had been sent and the policeman pushed open the door. There were few customers in the restaurant. Not surprising really with a demonstration going on outside, half the dining area roped off with tape and a dead body seated at one of the tables. ?Mr Gently sir? the officer in charge called out as he peeled one end of the tape off a column ?We were told not to touch anything til? you got here?. The body of the man slumped awkwardly in a chair. Then even a dead body would start getting uncomfortable in a MacDonalds chair after twenty minutes - and this one had been there for at least eighteen hours. Two back legs and the tail of a cat hung out of the man?s gaping mouth. Dirk turned to the officer, ?I suppose you are going to tell me this is the darndest thing you ever saw?? ?Ain?t this the darnd...?. The officer seemed annoyed that Dirk had second guessed him. ?We?re removing the body in a few minutes, so if you can get through as quick as possible? ?Many people eat cats in fast food restaurants?? Dirk asked and without waiting for an answer leant over the table to pick up an untouched burger. ?And what?s this?? he asked waving it in front of the officers face. ?It?s a Vedgie Burger? The waitress, who was cleaning one of the adjacent tables, shouted across. She walked over to Dirk. ?We started doing them because of that lot out there? she nodded towards the protesters who were pressing there faces against the windows ?They?re called Linda McCartney Vedgie burgers - ever heard of them?? Dirk suddenly felt faint, perhaps a combination of hunger and jet lag. ?This is deja vu all over again? he thought to himself. He glanced at policemen - at the badge on his shoulder ?OPD? but this wasn?t Ontario this was Toronto. OPD - Officially Pronounced Dead. It dawned on Dirk what was happening, he knew what he would see if he looked out of the window. Sure enough, there it was, the Volkswagen Beetle parked across the road - number plate 28IF - 28 IF Paul McCartney had lived. And amongst the lyrics of the song blaring out into the restaurant he could pick out the words ?I buried Paul?. Now it was though Dirk was viewing the whole scene though a TV screen. This was conspiracy. Not -a- conspiracy, or -the- conspiracy, but just plain conspiracy. ?You look faint - are you OK mister? The waitress asked. Dirk shook his head ?Probably a bit hungry? Then to economise on dialogue took out a pack of cigarettes and held it out towards the girl. She was about to take one but Dirk snatched the pack away, held it up to his mouth and drew out two cigarettes. He lit both then passed one of them to the girl. It was the closest he had come to a sexual encounter in three months. ?Want a Burger?? the waitress asked. Dirk looked down at the Vedgie Burger on the table. ?No thanks - just a plate of fries? The waitress walked away and Dirk looked around the room. Apart from a family seated in the far corner there was only one other person in the restaurant - and he wasn?t eating. The guy was about mid twenties and had straggling, shoulder length hair. On the table in front of him were lots of pieces of paper cut into squares. Every so often he would pick up a camcorder and pan it around the room and then, when he was finished, speak into a microphone which was attached to a tape recorder. Dirk walked over to where the man was sitting. The small pieces of paper had paragraphs of text written on them and were stuck to the top of table with blobs of mustard. Lines had been drawn, some solid some dotted, on the table top with a marker pen. The lines ran from one piece of paper to another. ?What are the lines for?? Dirk asked, realising straight away that ?What the hell are you doing?? would be more appropriate. ?You see? The man replied nervously ?The dotted lines are weak links and the solid lines are strong links. The dotted lines are things which are happening in the rest of the world and the solid lines are things which are happening to me. Now you see I draw over a dotted line, replacing it with a solid line, when I can link something back to me. Like this? The pen squeaked over the Formica and before Dirk could interrupt the man added. ?You see I lost my short term memory and, as a consequence have a very short attention span. I write down, record and film everything then put it all together later? ?So? Dirk interrupted. ?You filmed what happened here?? ?Yes, yes, it?s here on this tape? The man pushed the cassette across the table. On the label the words ?Grassy Knoll? had been crossed through and replaced with ?MacDonalds?. Suddenly the man sprung from his seat. Dirk turned and saw that the body was being removed on a stretcher. As it passed the man picked a small object off the edge of the stretcher itself. ?This is important? he said, laying a blood stained bullet on one of the small pieces of paper on the table. Suddenly the room was filled with a deafening throbbing sound as a Black Helicopter landed in the street outside. Two men in United Nations uniforms got out and collected the stretcher. Back at the table the long haired man was replacing all the dotted lines with solid ones. Dirk panicked and began to walk backwards at some speed. Barging through the swing doors he stumbled into the kitchen, tripped and felt himself sink slowly into a large vat. ?The guys fallen into the batter? Dick heard someone shout before he sunk below the surface. He came to sitting in a chair with the batter solidifying all over his body. He surveyed the room through two eye-holes someone had cut. Suddenly the chair on which he was sitting was picked up carried through the restaurant and out of the building. As the chair was being lifted and put into the back of a van, Dirk caught a glimpse of the waitress following him. ?Your fries mister, your plate o...?. The doors of the van shut and Dirk tried desperately to steady himself as it sped across town. Eventually the doors flew open and Dirk was flung into the road at which point the solidified batter shattered and set him free. Standing up he found himself outside the international departures terminal of Toronto airport. In the departure lounge Dirk had time to reflect on the day?s events. He had got caught up in the conspiracy theories and the haphazard welding together of pieces of irrelevant information. It was time to catch the person who was operating the bizarre cognitive engine which appeared in front of him like a fairground mirror, distorting any flaw it could find in his own, fragile, map of the real world. Dirk leant into the aisle of the plane as it took off for London. The oversized person next to him swung his arms violently as he complained about every thing from the supper in a plastic tray to the state of British politics. With a shaven head and a badly fitting suit the man looked as though he could have worked behind the reception desk of the Kremlin. However when he spoke he did so in a Liverpudlian accent. ?Me I blame the Con-serv-a-tive government, me. The Tour-rees. That-cher. Me. They need a good kicking? He jerked his feet forward and struck the seat in front with his Doc Martins. ?With these. Me Doc Martins. Doctor Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s Booots!? The phrase was now being sung over and over again as the man writhed in his seat and clicked his fingers. Dirk looked down at the boots and thought of the reaction most people used to deal with the paranoids at the end of the wire. A nice quick kick. ?Oi nutter - get some therapy?. This is the easy way out and perhaps the safest. After all there you are sat, alone, in front of the screen. No body language between you some paranoid. No way of telling if he really is some gibbering psycho. Look at it too long and you be drawn in. Fall into the tangled database of weird links with him. Who knows he may be watching you, reassembling and linking your experiences with his. How sure are you of you own cognitive threads. After all cognition is only a bug fix for a neurological system which was designed in a hurry - it?s abused by everyone from politicians to advertisers. If people really can convince each other that a bottle of washing up liquid is as exciting as an orgasm using just television God knows what they can do with a computer. Better to avoid the risk. A swift kick. After all if you?re Homophobic you put the boot in because you are scared of any ambiguity in your own sexuality - why not be Nutterphobic as well. Although Dirk would have liked to devoted time to tracking the culprit down he decided to let it rest. The Internet changed over the next twenty odd years. A lot of the people who used it went out and got lives. And those who already had lives burnt them away. The number of users had dwindled after someone had invented a C++ program, with truth as a variable, to deal handle politics and government. Dirk had already retired from finding old ladies cats with the help of obscure science when he got another call from Toronto. It was 4th March 2025 when he booked onto the Air Canada flight from Heathrow. The silver haired woman in the seat next to him painted bright red lipstick around her mouth. ?Of course it was no surprise to be offered the job after Claire Raynor retired? she sneered? After all I used to be a psychiatric nurse... Now if Blokes had periods they would understand...? By chance the taxi ride to Toronto mental hospital took him past the MacDonalds - where the whole thing had started. Of course it was barely recognisable having become a Church Of Scientology Vedgie Bar. Police in riot gear kept the two sets of demonstrators apart. Dirk didn?t really know what to expect when he got to the hospital. The girl at the reception desk directed him to a row of chairs in a wide well lit corridor. There was a strong smell of disinfectant, the furniture and the carpets were immaculately clean and behind the rows of teak veneer doors the ?nutters? were all safely locked away. For some reason Dirk started thinking about CompuServe forums. A tall blond woman in a white coat approached. ?Mr Gentle, I assume? ?Yes? Dirk replied shaking her by the hand. ?You?re the nurse who...? ?Doctor? She interrupted, ?Doctor Killfile? She led Dirk across the corridor towards one of the doors then stopped with her hand resting on the handle. ?Now you know about this person don?t you?? and after Dirk nodded she continued ?Don?t tell him anything about yourself - don?t let him get into you head. If he does he?ll screw it up? The door opened to reveal a frail man sitting in from of a TV screen. He had a keyboard on his lap and next to the television was a computer screen. Dirk glanced at the walls of the room and remembered that his settee at home need upholstering. The nurse left the room and the man looked up ?So you come to my daughters wedding and ask me to kill a man? he said in a dry cackling voice. ?Look? he continued, pointing at the screen, ?I know that man. They?re talking about me now - listen?. The man stared at Dirk. ?What?s your name? Are you one of my friends from the Internet? - Are the lambs still screaming Dirk?? Dirk, at first recoiled in horror, then felt a sense of anti climax. So this is what they hyped up to superstar status on the back of their own fears of madness. Dirk was reminded of the film ?A day on The Beach? where a submarine had set off to search a post nuclear World to track down a signal coming from a remote military base - only to find it was being sent by a Coke bottle half balanced on a Morse tapper. Outside the room the nurse waited for him. Because his nicotine craving had returned - and to avoid an awkward piece of dialogue - Dirk turned to her and asked . ?Patch?? Dirk took two nicotine patches from his wallet the first of which he stuck onto the inside of his arm. Stepping closer to Doctor Killfile he opened her white coat and slid his hand into the opening at the front of her dress. He pressed the patch onto her leg as close to the top of her inner thigh as he dare. She took a deep breath and then slowly breathed out. ?What Bogart could have done with these things? Dirk thought to himself. ?Is he crazy?? Dirk asked tilting his head back to towards the door. ?Who knows? Doctor Killfile replied ?We let him type away. He sees something on the TV in the morning and it keeps him busy all day. What he types doesn?t go anywhere it just stays on a mainframe in the basement. It can be read by anyone else in the building but that?s it. We got them all in here conspiracy theorists, racists, nationalists. They?ve created a world within a world really...? Her voice trailed away and she stared down the corridor for a while then added ?So long are two things are different neither will come to be in the other and so become at once both one and two.? Dirk gave her a puzzled look ?You mean their brains are fried?? ?Fried?? Killfile smiled at Dirk ?No that was Plato?. Then the smile fell from her face. ?You must remember, mister, plate o...? 716 Tag: .net framework updates Tag: 125841

    - MI5 Persecution: Security Service Tribunal Denies Security Service Tribunal Denies In June 1997 the Security Service Tribunal wrote to me regarding the complaint I had brought against MI5 in February. They say, The Security Service Tribunal have now investigated your complaint and have asked me to inform you that no determination in your favour has been made on your complaint. Again, I do not believe their denials. I think MI5 *has* taken the action against me as described, and is refusing to admit what they have done. To the best of my knowledge, the Security Service Tribunal has *never* found in favour of a complainant. This tends to strongly suggest that MI5 lies on a routine basis, and the Tribunal can't fulfil its functions in the face of Security Service falsehoods. 716 Tag: .net framework updates Tag: 125838

    - Reading Config from custom location in .NET 2.0 My company has recently purchased a software product that spans several technologies (ASP, COM, VB 6.0, .net 1.1, .net 2.0). We are trying to standardize the software over to one technology (.net 2.0). Part of this is to locate general settings (such as database connection strings etc...) into one central location. I was able to do this for the asp.net 1.1 Web Site, Web Services and console apps by setting the "file" attribute of the <appSettings> section of the relevant Config file:- E.G <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings file="D:\Mydirectory\test.config" /> </configuration> I have created a custom class in .NET 2.0 that reads data from my custom config file, reading from the file such as this:- Return System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DatabaseConnString"].ToString(); However the problem lies when trying to use this code via COM+ so as the ASP portion of the software can get its configuration details from the same place. As COM+ executes in it own container (I think under dllhost.exe??) then using the above code to read a setting is obviosly not going to work as there is no way to set the following :- <appSettings file="D:\Mydirectory\test.config" /> What I was hoping I could do was in my custom class that gives out configuration details, is to specify a path to where the configuration data is stored (E.G D:\Mydirectory\test.config) and load that configuration file into memory and read from it. Does anyone know how to specify the location of a .config file and load it into an object to parse it for configuration settings??? Or perhaps someone knows of a way by using .NET 2.0 technologies (such as property settings) that configuration type data can easily be read from ASP via COM+. Many thanks in Advance.

    - Go C# .NET for the larger applications? Is there a list somewhere of companies or other software applications initiatives that are using .NET for implementation? (i.e. software running on the CLR) I'm especially thinking of the larger applications. E.g. something which maintains a large database or extensive GUI, etc. I just thought of this example: would it be feasible to implement a large development environment like Visual Studio in .NET? I'm sure it can be done, but what can be said for it, or against it? Maybe the question was asked before many times, but it's 2007 now and I need to ask again (or point me to some urls please): When I have ideas for a new software I want to develop, : Why would I choose to implement in .NET? (probably using C#) Pro's, cons, compared to writing a native code application? I know most of the technical advantages, but put it this way: How would you explain the choice to target the .NET platform to the management of a/your company? (This latter question would be irrespective of application size). Tag: .net framework updates Tag: 125820

    - Generics and constructors. There is something that I don't understand about .NET Generics. I have code like the following: public class A { private string _paramOne; private string _paramTwo; public A(string paramOne, string paramTwo) { _paramOne = paramOne; _paramTwo = paramTwo; } } public class GenericA<T> where T : new() { public GenericA(string paramOne, string paramTwo) { new T(paramOne, paramTwo); } } static void Main(string[] args) { GenericA<A> instance = new GenericA<A>("paramOne", "paramTwo"); } In trying to get the strings to the type specified by the generic type parameter I get numerous errors mainly focusing on the fact that I either must define a parameterless construtor or I cannot use parameters in a constructor. So my question is two fold. How do I get the arguments on the GenericA<A> constructor to the A class? And, when and how is the type A instantiated and constructed. Thank you.

    - Custom Attributes and properties ordering Is there any common practice for ordering of an object's properties? Think this as an example: You have a List<OfClass> and you provide an instance of this list as Datasource to a grid. Is there any custom attribute that IF it will be taken into account, the grid's columns will reflect a "custom" ordering or the class's properties? If one provides an instance of a List<OfClass> to a datagrid, what will the order of the columns be? Tag: .net framework updates Tag: 125811

    - .NET 3.0 support for Windows 2000? Does anyone know if there is any planned support for .NET 3.0 on windows 2000? It seems like a major miscalculation not to support win2K - there is still a huge install base, and it will be a while before there are enough 3.0 applications to make it compelling to switch to a later OS - in the meantime adoption is likely to be slower because of the lack of support. We are in the process of determining an archiceture for a major new project, and it looks like we will have to use WSE 3.0 instead of WCF (and .NET 3.0), which is VERY frustrating. Another question - any idea why it is is not supported? Tag: .net framework updates Tag: 125795

    - How to make global data thread safe ? Please Help... Hi friends, I seem to be stuck in a peculiar problem. I have a public static class with public static members (different array lists). The members are thus global in nature and accessible across the namespace. I have a worker function which is called asynchronously (so that there are several instances running per second) and which reads the different global members at different points of execution (not the entire set at any one point). I have a writer function which is used to set the global members and this is the only one in the application writing to these variables. It will write the entire set of globals when given control through a GUI event. I need a mechanism where if one instance of worker function is accessing any of the global members and the writer function is called, all instances of worker function (which I assume would be different threads) should complete their read operation and wait before next read (of another global member) until the writer function is finished updating all the globals. This must also mean that the writer function wait till all instances of read operation are complete and then go ahead to update the variables. I have gone through Lock, Mutex, Semaphore but feel quite confused about the type of model that I should implement. Please help me. Thanks n Regards, Kunal Tag: .net framework updates Tag: 125770

    - ClickOnce Error: The application is improperly formatted I've spent the last day trying to figure out what's wrong with my ClickOnce deployment. I've found this question asked a lot in forums, but no helpful answers... I've created a WinForm application through VS2005 on my WinXP SP2 machine. I then published it to a network drive (on our Novell network). The deployment worked well and I was able to install it on my machine and several others. There are some machines, however, where it won't install. I keep getting the error "The application is improperly formatted" error whenver we click on Setup.exe. I'll post the full error log below. I've successfully installed on WinXP SP1 and SP2 machines. I've not been able to successfully install on WinXP SP1 and SP2, as well as Win2000 machines, so I can't narrow it down to an OS. I've run windowsupdate on several of the machines and still no joy. I've tried (and failed with) the following: - Publishing to my local machine, then copying the deployment up to the network drive - Copying the deployment files off the network to the machine with the problem - Unclicking "Sign the ClickOnce manifests" in the Project-Properties-Signing page, then redeploying - Creating a new test certificate through the Project-Properties-Signing page, then redeploying Other info: - I've got the app set up as a "Full trust application" for the "ClickOnce Security Settings" - I have not manually modified the manifests after they were created Any help would be very much appreciated!

    - Custom Config Section: How to get a TimeSpan from an attribute value? Hello In my custom configuration section, I'd like to specify an interval attribute which specifies an interval in milliseconds.

That's what I tryied: [ConfigurationProperty("interval", IsRequired = true)] public TimeSpan Interval { get { return (TimeSpan)this["interval"]; } set { this["interval"] = value; } } I really got a TimeSpan, but unfortunately the value in the attribute is automatically converted to days. Then I tried this: [ConfigurationProperty("interval", IsRequired = true)] public TimeSpan Interval { get { return TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds((double)this["interval"]); } set { this["interval"] = value; } } But this did not work at all.

However, recently, it started to crash at launch time with a mysterious error as in the title. After a bit of investigation it is probably a missing native DLL dependency in a Managed C++ library.

    - Editing a DataGridView bound to a DataView I have an application that displays data in a DataGridView. The data is in a DataView that is sorted and at times filtered. One of the columns I have in the dataview is a boolean field called "selected". Typically the DataView will either be sorted or filtered by this column. However when the user toggles the row value for this column (and others as well) in the DataGridView and ends the edit the data in the dataview changes, causing the filter or sort to reapply. This gets aggravating when the user goes to select what "was" the row below or above and suddenly it is a second row away. If a filter is applied the row they just modified may even be filtered out now and longer visible. It causes multiple data entry mistakes as well. I would like to be able to allow the user to modify the data in the grid while displaying their chosen dataview as there are several records to work with. What is the proper way to handle this type of problem? How can I make the DataGridView NOT AcceptChanges on the dataset (I think this may be the way to work around the issue) but still modify the row values?

    - InstanceDescriptor problem rendering Nullable<double> constructor parameters I have a class like so: public class MyClass { public MyClass(double? x, double? y) { } } I have created a type converter for this class that converts MyClass to an InstanceDescriptor which renders a line of code like the following on a form when x and y are null: this.myComponent1.MyClassInstance = new MyClass(null, null); The designer deserialization mechanism in Visual Studio is able to correctly determine which constructor must be called on the MyClass class when entering design mode. However, if x and y are not null, and happen to have no decimal, the following line of code is rendered: this.myComponent1.MyClassInstance = new MyClass(2, 1); This causes an exception when the form is designed with an error about a constructor with Int32, Int32 signature not being found. It appears as though there is no implicit conversion (for some reason) from Int32 to Nullable<Double>. So far I have not been able to find a way to cause the InstanceDescriptor to render an explicit cast statement (double?) to ensure the constructor is called successfully.
