    - Steps to consider when upgrading Win app from .Net 1.0 to 1.1 Hi, We have Win app that runs on .Net Framework 1.0. We want to port the app to run on 1.1. What are the steps that I need to perform the upgrade and also what are the issues that I should consider prior to that conversion? Application components: Win App, COM+, SQL Server 2000, Biztalk Server 2002(conversion to Biztalk 2004 is not currently an option) , MSMQ, MSMQ Connectors, Workflows(Biztalk orchstrations Xlangs), Windows Services, Infagistics controls, User & custom controls, so on. Pretty complicated. Any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance, --Alex Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90638

    - Sorted array component Does .net have a sorted collection component similar to the C++ std::set ? I am not interested in a dictionary object, just a sorted collection where I can pass in a delegate to do the sort. I am also not interested in calling ArrayList's Sort() as I want the collection to automatically maintain its sort order when objects are inserted into it. I looked in the System.Collections and System.Collections.Specialized but did not find a sorted collection class which was not also a dictionary. Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90621

    - .Net 1.1 sp1 troubles I have heard so many issues with failed sp1 installations and problems with applications after installing the service pack that it makes me nervous. We are moving our development to .Net and yet have been unable to install this service pack on 3 of our machines. While I am sure, if I dig deep enough, I will find the solution to fixing (Yes, I have even uninstalled 1.1 and reinstalled it) but I shudder to think what will happen when my end-users need to update their .Net installations. -- David Farrell-Garcia Whidbey Island Software LLC Posted with XanaNews 1.17.1.2 Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90611

    - Timing Hi everyone, I'm neck deep in ASP.NET and sinking fast ;) Any help much appreciated. I have two user controls on a page that I want to communicate with each other. One control is called RoleList and allows the user to select the type of view they wish to see on the page. The other control(s) - sometimes there may be several - then change the stored proc, query etc they use to extract info from sql. Therefore, I have set up the RoleList to generate an event and coded the other control(s) to listen and recieve it. The problem is timing. I've done some tracing to see what happens and when: 1 aspx.page Begin Init 2 aspx.page End Init 3 aspx.page Begin LoadViewState 4 aspx.page End LoadViewState 5 aspx.page Begin ProcessPostData 6 aspx.page End ProcessPostData 7 Control ID: RoleList - role was previously set in the viewstate: tutor 8 Control ID: StudentList - role was previously set in the viewstate: tutor 9 aspx.page Begin ProcessPostData Second Try 10 aspx.page End ProcessPostData Second Try 11 aspx.page Begin Raise ChangedEvents 12 aspx.page End Raise ChangedEvents 13 aspx.page Begin Raise PostBackEvent 14 Changing role to: Secretary 15 Control ID: RoleList - changed role to: Secretary 16 Control ID: StudentList - changed role to: Secretary 17 aspx.page End Raise PostBackEvent 18 aspx.page Begin PreRender 19 aspx.page End PreRender 20 aspx.page Begin SaveViewState 21 aspx.page End SaveViewState 22 aspx.page Begin Render 23 aspx.page End Render Line 7 and 8 came from the page_load event in each control. Line 14 came from the event being fired and the next two is where the event is caught. But the Load event (which contains the data binding for the list / grids etc) for the response has already happened! Therefore the user must click the role they want to see TWICE!!! I could probably make some public properties in the base page and read/write info from them to get around this. But this will mess up my otherwise quite low coupling and I don't want to. Thanks in adv. Mark. Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90609

    - XML schema for a CodeDom Graph Is somebody know an XML Schema to represent a .NET Source Code as an XML file ? More precisely, in CodeDom you can write a source code like this: cns = new CodeNameSpace(...); cns.Imports.Add( new CodeImport(...) ); cns.Imports.Add( new CodeImport(...) ); ctd = new CodeTypeDeclaration(...); ctd.IsClass = true; ctd.Name = "MyClass"; ctd.Members.Add(...); ctd.Statements.Add(...); My wish is to have an XML file like this: <Namespace name="..."> <Imports> <NamespaceImport nameSpace="..."/> <NamespaceImport nameSpace="..."/> </Imports> <Types> <TypeDeclaration name="..." isClass="true"> <Members> ... </Members> <Statements> ... </Statements> </TypeDeclaration> ... </Types> <Namespace> Ultimatly, of course, I would translate my XML to CodeDom and generate my code.

The connection line between the two machines is 512kbps however only quarter of it is used for these transactions and the average of the records sent is 400K. Recently the machine was upgraded to Windows 2003 Server and i started receiving the following errors: 1. Server was unable to read request. --> There is an error in XML document (1, 1665). --> An unexpected end of file parsing TAG has occurred. Line 609, position 57. 2. The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. 3. The operation has timed-out. Please keep in mind the following: - This error never appeared on the previous 2000 server. - This error doesnt always occur (not for all records), when it does and the client tries to resend the failed records they are sent successfully - I tried to increase the connection timeout value for the web sites enter in IIS and the responseDeadLockInterval in the machine.config file and the masRequestLength in the web.config file however it didnt help - This error also appears when the newly upgraded machine tries to send to other sites Any Solutions?

    - Regular expression problems Hello al I am not sure where to post this, so I hope this is correct. We have written a Visual Studio AddIn that relies heavily on regular expressions, which are often executed thousands of times. When running, it works successfully for a while, but the Windows Page File Usage gradually increases, and eventually the application freezes. We have traced the problem to the regular expressions, but the problem does not apply equally to all expressions. For example, the expression "^([\s]*)('|REM( |\t|\v))([\s\S]*)$" does not cause any problems, whereas the expression "^((("(("")|[^"])*")|([\s\S]*?))*)(('([\s\S]*))|$)$" causes a severe memory leak. We always execute the expressions in 'interpreted' mode. Is there a problem with certain expression constructs? Thanks for any help/tips Saira Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90588

    - PerformanceCounter (CPU load) staggers for 20 seconds When using PerformanceCounter.NextValue to measure CPU load (percentage), it returns quickly on every call but then takes 20 seconds at the 2 minute boundary. After this it again returns quickly. Here's a sample: //********************************** using System.Diagnostics; using System.Threading; PerformanceCounter pc = new PerformanceCounter("Processor", "% Processor Time", "_Total"); pc.NextValue(); // prime (values are relative to last) DateTime now = DateTime.Now; for (int i = 0; i < 240; ++i) { // it staggers at i == 120 int start = Environment.TickCount; decimal load = decimal.Round((decimal) pc.NextValue(), 0); int end = Environment.TickCount; Console.WriteLine("Period: {0}, Load: {1}, Delta: {2}ms", DateTime.Now - now, load, end - start); Thread.Sleep(1000); } //********************************** This code displays the time it takes in milliseconds for each call to PerformanceCounter.NextValue to measure CPU load as a percentage. It typically takes 0ms for the first 119 calls. Then at 01:59 it takes 20 seconds. After that it again returns quickly. I'm seeing this on three different systems (XP Home, XP Pro, Server 2003), and using .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0 Beta2, both debug and release builds. Has anyone else had problems with this issue? In production code I'm calling PerformanceCounter.NextValue from a separate thread, but it still seems to "freeze" ALL currently running threads of my app - nice 20 second delay :-) It only seems to happen at the 2 minute boundary, after that it doesn't (seem to) happen again.

I noticed some really unusual memory behaviour, after putting it through a profile, I narrow it down to the property AllowDrop = true. I created some sample code, which simply adds a panel to a tab control 10 times, then removes the control 10 times. If I have AllowDrop=true set the panel is never destoryed in memory. I am just interested in knowing why AllowDrop=true would stop the panel from being destroyed ? Thanks Scott ------------- Sample Code ------------- for(int i=0;i<100;i++){ for(int j=0;j<10;j++){ TabPage page = new TabPage("we"); Panel a = new Panel(); a.AllowDrop = true; page.Controls.Add(a ); this.tabControl1.TabPages.Add(page); } for(int k=0;k<10;k++){ this.tabControl1.TabPages[0].Controls.Clear(); this.tabControl1.TabPages.RemoveAt(0); } } } Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90571

One of the deciding factors here is that it must work around firewalls etc, so I'd like to have it operate on port 80 and not hinder the linux boxes existing web apps.

    - Crystal keycodev2.dll Frustrations!!!! I've been in the IT industry for over a decade now and I have worked with Crystal Reports on many occasions. Creating reports is simple. Creating reporting applications has ALWAYS been a frustrating pain in the behind. Crystal is supposed to be the premiere reporting application -- I am losing confidence in this fact and will soon be recommending alternate solutions to my clients. I am trying to get a Windows Forms app to run on a server in a background capacity. The application works fine on my developer's machine, but I continue to get the following very bothersome error on the server: "Cannot find KeycodeV2.dll, or invalid keycode." I have researched this error in the Crystal Knowledge Base and followed its recommendations without avail. Futhermore, I have searched the Google news groups and found that many others are frustrated by the same thing. They have referred to the KB and followed its instructions and still the same damn error! The KB results is a false hope. You think you're onto something, but in the end you find your efforts are in vain. I have registered the license no. in VS.NET. I have registered the keycodev2.dll. I have verified that all the necessary assemblies are registered in the GAC or local folder. I have searched the net for hours, going on days. This is sickening and disgusting. AND... this is not the first time this has happened to me. I have run into Crystal troubles in the past and have had to spend too many hours working out the issues. Crystal keeps on enhancing the reporting features, but they do very little by way of enhancing the ease with which developers can create custom Crystal apps. I for one am getting FED UP with Crystal. If they're going to support a KB, then I expect it to be USEFUL. Run a Google search and you'll see how many others have been frustrated by this same issue. DID ANYONE EVER SOLVE IT? Mario T.

Dim objMail As MailMessage Dim booRet As Boolean Dim strBody As String Try strBody = "Message goes here" objMail = New MailMessage objMail.To = Me.Problem.EmailTo objMail.From = "Helpdesk system" objMail.Body = strBody objMail.Subject = "Subject" objMail.BodyFormat = Web.Mail.MailFormat.Text SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "my server name goes here" SmtpMail.Send(objMail) booRet = True Catch ex As Exception strError = "clsJob.SendReportEmail : " & ex.Message booRet = False Finally objMail = Nothing End Try When I put in the new server name it pops up with the following error : clsJob.SendReportEmail : Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. I managed to dig out a more specific error message : clsJob.SendReportEmail : System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8004020E): The server rejected the sender address. The server response was: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address The help for the smtpmail object goes on about making sure port 25 is open. Is this symptomatic of this? Finally how can I make sure I've got the correct server name? Thanks in advance Cheers...P Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90531

    - ShadowCopyFiles problem Hi, I have been in trouble with AppDomainSetup.ShadowCopyFiles. I create some object instances on newly created app. domain, which I have created. It works very well but I want to turn off shadow copying for this domain by setting ShadowCopyFiles property to "false", but my assembly is still shadow copied into a "cache" directory. Has anyone an idea how is it possible ? My code looks like this: AppDomainSetup domainSetup = new AppDomainSetup(); domainSetup.ApplicationBase = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory; domainSetup.PrivateBinPath = @"applications\pseudoapp"; domainSetup.ApplicationName = "PseudoApp"; domainSetup.ShadowCopyFiles = "false"; domainSetup.CachePath = "dllcache"; AppDomain appDomain = AppDomain.CreateDomain("TestAppDomain", null, domainSetup); ... and so on .... (If I not specify CachePath property, assembly will be shadow copied into cache directory somewhere in [Document and Settings] folder anyway). Is it possible to turn off shadow copying on this domain ? How ? Thank you very much. -bda- Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90530

    - Assembly Redirection does not work Hello, I am having a hard time redirecting a VB.Net assembly. The old and new assemblies are version major 1 and minor 0. The build and revision number are different. 1.0.1519.15373 to 1.0.9.9 I tried creating binding policy using the same keyfile as the original and new assembly and a config file. I named the new policy assembly Policy.1.0.MyAssembly.dll. That didn't work. I looked in the .Net Configuration tool under configured assemblies, and their was a binding redirect to the new version. That also updated my machine.config That didn't work. Private web application assemblies on my machine are still referencing the old assembly. I also tried adding the new assembly to the GAC, and inserting something into the machine.config manually and that didn't work. What am I doing wrong? Also, If I change an assembly redirection, do I have to restart my machine? or what should I do. Thanks for your help. -- Mike Logan Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90527

    - Posible to resume uploads? Hi I'm busy writing an upload to web site utility, in C#, for my client. It uploads zip file to a iis server with a virtual directory shared for that purpose. By using WebRequest, WebResponse and the "PUT" method i've been successfull at uploading files. Using the Stream, StreamReader and StreamWriter i also got a nice progress bar goin. It all works lovely, but is it possible to make it resume uploads like FlashGet and ReGet is doing resume downloads? As far as I understand, they using headers to empliment resume downloads. I tried using a stream of the uploaded file(that should be resumed) on the server, but cannot seek it. Can get the size of the file. So put the file pointer to end of the file, and just start appending to the file. If that was possible it would be much easier. But it does not work. It normally comes back that seek is not allowed or just times out, depending on the method I'm using. Help would be much appreciated and if this is not the right group to ask this question at, any suggestion where to go? Thank You Kindly Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90515

    - multi user display problem Hi, I'm using ASP.NET and creating a web application. In two areas of the app, I am dynamically building pages. One displays data on screen and the other builds reports. Everything works fine when a single user is using the application. When multiple users access these pages at the same time, the display fouls up. It seems all controls are being created and displayed, but not on each individual's browser. Some controls are missing on one browser, while being duplicated on another. Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90514

    - Firing events on a differnet thread I've just been thinking about scenarious where firing an event causes a number of handler to execute - all of them potentially taking some time to complete. With a UI control, that could be a problem. The answer of course is to use threads - but I was wondering what the rule of thumb was here. I've steared clear form firing the event on a different thread as I could see how that could begin to be a real nightmare to debug (so handle thread creation/management by the various handers). But I thought I'd ask. Firing the event on a different thread would be a single clean place to create the new thread. Does anyone have any opinions/advice here??? Thanks everyone. === Phil : NZ Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90508

    - Find open files on shares (WMI?) Hi, I want to programmatically discover what users are connecting to the shared folders and files on my PC (WinXP and up). I want essentially the same info you get by opening the Computer Managerment console, looking at "Shared Folders" and clicking in the "Sessions" and "Open Files" folders in there. It shows domain user, the connection host name or IP address and the names of open files. I was hoping something simple like a WMI query could do this, but the WMI objects I've looked into don't support this under Windows Server 2003. I would appreciate any pointers as to how to get this info, thanks! Richard Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90504

    - Suppress JIT Debugger? I have a custom exception handler that "wraps" an entire application. Basically, all it does is make things easier on my beta testers by letting them click a button to copy all the information I want on an exception to the clipboard, from where they can paste it into an email to me. This works fine on my development machine when I'm running the app under the VS debugger. However, on my testers' machines, which don't have VS installed, they don't see my handler; they see a request asking them if they want to invoke the JIT debugger. I'd prefer that they not see this. Is there a way to suppress the Framework's request to invoke the JIT debugger when an exception occurs? - Mark Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90500

    - private field and public property naming conventions Has anyone found any naming convention guidelines for private fields and public properties in Visual Basic .NET and C#. Below is what I currently do in each of the languages. Any comments? I would like to use the same convention in C# as in Visual Basic .NET with camelCasing for private fields and PascalCasing for public properties, but since Visual Basic .NET is case insensitive, I have to use a different name for the public property and its associated private field (e.g. add "m_" for private field). Any suggestions or documentation from Microsoft. The Design Guidelines for Class Library Developers at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/cpconnetframeworkdesignguidelines.asp does not provide much advice on this issue. Also is there any guidelines on when this and Me should be used to fully qualify a public or private member? // C# public class Test { private string myVariable; public string MyVariable { get { return myVariable; } set { myVariable = value; } } } ' Visual Basic .NET Public Class Test Private m_myVariable As String Public Property MyVariable() As String Get Return m_myVariable End Get Set(ByVal value As String) m_myVariable = value End Set End Property End Class Tag: what is the difference Tag: 90496

Using xcopy semantics to install a product. For example, you can leave the
client files on a server and when a user clicks on a link the files are
copied to the local machine and then executed.

> 2 clickonce
A process that implements no-touch deployment. It's a complete process that
also handles prerequisites, manifests, automatic updating, etc. Available
only in Whidbey. Other systems are roll-your-own.

> 3 smart client
A windows form application that is usually xcopy deployable

No touch and click once are pretty much the same concept. Click once to start
the no touch download and opening of the program. If you want technicality,
click once is an implementation of no touch. If you were really interested,
you could launch a program without a click from the user, so they could be
separate concepts. Some may define one as clicked and the other as not
clicked, but both fall under the umbrella of no touch.

Smart client. Can mean a couple of things. In the realm of what we have
already discussed, it is the client that a no touch application runs on. But,
I have also seen the term used on applications that were deployed via other
means. The client can be a desktop/notebook or a pocket device (PocketPC,
SmartPhone, etc.), as long as a good portion of the app is run on the device.
