    - Problems w/ DataAvailable and NetworkStream I'm using NetworkStream to read from a TCPClient. I'm testing DataAvailable before reading to keep by thread from blocking on read. The docs say that if the remote end has closed the connection, a call to DataAvailable should throw a SocketException. Unfortunatly, the exception isn't getting thrown, so my code keeps spinning on DataAvailable forever, never knowing that the connection has been closed. There don't seem to be any other properties or methods in either TCPClient or NetworkStream that I can use to get the connection state without potentially blocking. Am I missing something? Is there another way to determine if the connection is active without risking a block? Thanks. * the reply-to mailbox is not checked * send replies to: jj AT imtc DOT gatech DOT edu.

    - So Slow Pfff... I have worked on VC6 for several years, and that was ok. Now, i' m learning .NET framework (C++), and it's sooooo sloooowww when i run my application (1 tiny exe + 4 tiny DLLs in a single solution) in Release mode (and much more in Debug mode). Is it normal ??? My PC is a "AMD K7 1050 Mhz/512 Mo of RAM / 7 Go of freespace (on 70Go)", but i don't think it comes from here. Thanx in advance Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 63071

    - License detection of runtime vs. designtime I have an assembly that I want to license to developers. I don't want to license the runtimes that they deliver to their customers. There are no real design-time controls, only some classes that they use by referencing the assembly. If I implement the LicenseManager stuff the LicenseContextMode of any objects is always 'Runtime' which makes sense. How can I tell if the assembly is being used for development and not in the resulting product? Any ideas? Do I need to just rely on a paper license? Thanks! Mark Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out?

    - Using CLSID to figure out COM component Using Windows 2K & XP. My program works on my development machine but no a client machie. I've got an app using and Active-X control (MediaPlayer 9). I have it set to be registered and added to the GAC during installation, which it is. But upon my app using the control(opening a video file), I get the following message: COM object with CLSID {9571D958 - 9BCF - 4E19 - A374 - FC2F 321C8F61} is either not valid or not registered. How can I use the CLSID to track down which component it's calling and what the specific problem is? The COM component is in the GAC and registered but I still get this message. thanks Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 63044

    - code generation for property failed? I created a custom control for viewing and editing an instance of my Matrix class. It has a property called Matrix of type Matrix. It is a property I want to use at run-time... I don't expect it to be set at design time. Isn't there an attribute I can apply to a control's property so that the code generator will not try and set a value for it, and so it cannot be set via the control's property window?

    - separating Machine.config into Named Assemblies' configs I have a suggestion for the Framework guys: It would be nice to have a "default config" similar to Machine.config that can more easily be deployed than merging my "default.config" with the machine's machine.config For instance, I'd like to add some deafult settings for my class library... only way to do that is to either embed my default settings in the machine.config or somehow encourage the users of the library to merge my config into theirs... not very graceful... I suggest moving to a more broken up format, whereas each Assembly's FullName gets a config file: System.Web, Version=1.1.4322, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXXX.config System.Web.Services, Version=1.1.4322, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXX.config and so forth, then I can do mine without merging: Ensoft.DataComponents, Version=1.0.1000, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXX.config i still like the machine.config idea, but its become just like the registry... one big area that could easily become corrupt through just one bad character. Anyhow, thats my suggestion... maybe we'll see it in Framework 2.0?

    - Hide forms from taskbar in Windows CE.NET v4.1 Hello! I'm using .net Compact Framework to write an application for Windows CE device. I know that .NET CF does not support MDI applications, only SDI. So, my problem is: when a new form is openned, it blocks the parent window, shows itself on the screen and in the PDA's taskbar, that is not good, because the user can navigate through the blocked parent windows (they redraw on demand, but do not respond the the events), and then he can be lost. Ok, I decided to hide parent windows before shoing the child one; but after destroying the child, the parent stays minimized and a user must click on taskbar app icon to bring the form on the PDA's screen. I would like to find a solution how to hide parent winows and make them restore their state after showing child dialog form. Is there any solusion? I tried to search on MSDN and inet, but no results... :( I use .NET CF 1.1, Windows CE. NET v4.1. Thank you! Alex Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 63026

    - multi project solution > have to BUILD whole solution to see changes in a single project (DLL) I have this 58 project solution I maintained for 6 months now after taking over. Usually the advantage of having it broken down in many projects was, that i could just edit a single .cs file, than compile the project it is in. this would generate the appropriate DLL and i could just "reload" the current page of the application I was on, and see the changes take effect. Now after installing the app on a new machine, I noticed that after i make changes to a file in project, and build that project, and step through it with debugger, it does not see the changes and attempts to step on the lines as they were before my change. Until i run a BUILD on whole solution. i am suspecting that this might have something to do with my project refrences. Not exactly sure yet. TIA. Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 63017

    - Printer Synchronization HI, I need to perform Synchronization of Requests to Printer. As the printing application is deployed on many App Servers. I would like to gain exclusive access or rather queue my requests serially. The Requirement: One Application Print job involves printing of multiple Word documents which involves opening them in Word automation objetc & then firing Printout for the same sequentially. The Fear: Because of Multiple App Servers performing similar tasks, i would like one print job(having multiple print requests) to be executed sequentially for each App Server. so that the printout doesnt come mixed up. you can think of a catalogue of items being printed, while the contents of the catalogue are different Word Documents & each catalogue request can comprise of many such print requests. As each App server can fire printing of the catalogue (composed of many different Word documents), i would like that the target printer should print out only one catalogue request at a time (i.e from one app server) while the next gets a chance when the first one is done) so that the print outs of the catalogues aren't mixed up.. Something like a Semaphore implementation is needed, currently i'm working on workarounds. Is there any proper way to accomplish this , using APIs, etc ??? I'm developing this component in VB.NET Kindly advise... Thanks in advance, Vijay Kumar Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 62996

    - 1.1 Framework Upgrade Issues... I have just upgraded from VS.NET 2002/Framework 1.0 to VS.NET 2003/Framework 1.1 and migrated my current web dev project to VS.NET 2003/Framework 1.1 as well. On my local machine, this all seems to have gone well. However, after refreshing this same project on the ISP server that hosts my "production" version of said project, I am getting all sorts of bizarre errors. I am assuming this may due to the fact that my ISP is still running .NET Framework Version:1.0.3705.288 and my local version is 1.1. Anybody shed any light on this or point me to a place on Microsoft that has specific articles that might help me figure this out. Thanks, Tim Heffernan Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 62987

    - XmlDocument read from Network Stream I have been using the following code (successfully) to read Xml formated text packets from a TCP stream. The output from the server stream consists of a sequence of well formed Xml documents written to the output stream. We are willing to pay $ to any expert (e.g. MVP) consultant who has to time to help us track down this problem. (we will discuss rates if you can prove your expertise, and problem solving approach). The code below is for the client that is reading the stream. All this worked well, as long as long delays were between each "packet". But when multiple packets are sent in quick succession, it is dropping packets. I have been trying to do this more "correctly" with using a XmlTextReader, but with no luck. E.g. XmlTextReader r = new XmlTextReader(); reader.MoveToContent(); string s = reader.ReadOuterXml(); dgram.Load(s); It basically hangs on the ReadOuterXml(); Here is the original "working" code: -------------------------------------------- private void OrchTalk() { int bytesRead = 0; XmlDocument dgram = new XmlDocument(); while (true) { byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]; // buffer for socket read stream bytesRead = 0; try { bytesRead = oStream.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length); } catch (Exception e) { if (stateCode == Common.stateCodes.shutdown) {break;} Tools.Debug(10, "OrchTalk: read error {0} ", e.ToString()); break; } if (bytesRead == 0) { if (this.stateCode == Common.stateCodes.shutdown) { Tools.Debug(10, "OrchTalk: Orchestrator died"); this.Disconnect(); return; } break; } else { string s = Tools.ByteToStr(buffer, 0); try { dgram.LoadXml(s); } catch (Exception e) { Tools.Debug(0, "OnReadComplete: {0} Runt packet: {1}", e.ToString(), s); } int endTime = Environment.TickCount; this.inPacket = dgram.DocumentElement; Tools.Debug(10, "packet: {0}", inPacket.OuterXml); this.Dispatch(); int startTime = (int)this.stats["start"]; int elapsed = endTime - startTime; this.stats["stop"] = endTime; this.stats["time"] = elapsed; this.stats["bytes"] = bytesRead; this.stats["packetText"] = inPacket.OuterXml; if (StationMaster.isConnected) { string outPacket = inPacket.OuterXml; FlashComm.itself.Send(outPacket); } } } this.Disconnect(); } Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out?

    - race conditions caused by Thread.Abort I have been looking for ways to prevent asynchronous Thread.Abort calls from wreaking havoc in my code. I'm working on an assembly, implemented in Managed Extensions for C++, that makes unmanaged calls and often needs to free resources associated with those calls: bool allocated = false; try { ... // Allocate some resources in unmanaged code allocated = AllocateUnmanagedResources(); ... } __finally { // Only free resources if allocation was successful if (allocated) FreeUnmanagedResources(); } This code should work fine if the thread running it is not aborted. However, asynchronously aborting the thread can lead to two problems: - The ThreadAbortException can be thrown from inside the __finally block, causing the resources to be leaked. This possibility is noted in the Thread.Abort documentation. - The ThreadAbortException can be thrown after a successful call to AllocateUnmanagedResources but before the assignment to the boolean variable. In that case, the code in the __finally block isn't aware of the current state, so the resources are leaked. Both of these scenarios seem to be the result of deficiencies in the .NET Framework and/or CLR: 1) __finally blocks aren't guaranteed to run to completion 2) There doesn't seem to be a way to create an "unabortable" block of code. Obviously, this kind of feature could be abused (and would preclude the need for (1) above), but it seems necessary in order to allow clean- up code to know the state of the application. Anyway, I'm looking for ways to eliminate the race conditions described above. So far, the only solution I've found is to surround the whole block with a try/catch, and push the state variable assignment into unmanaged code (which can't be aborted): #pragma unmanaged // Error-checking ignored for clarity void AllocationWrapper(bool* pAllocated) { *pAllocated = AllocateUnmanagedResources(); } void DeallocationWrapper(bool* pAllocated) { if (*pAllocated) { FreeUnmanagedResources(); *pAllocated = false; } } #pragma managed bool allocated = false; try { try { ... AllocationWrapper(&allocated); ... } __finally { DeallocationWrapper(&allocated); } } catch (ThreadAbortException*) { DeallocationWrapper(&allocated); } Can anyone think of a cleaner way to remove the race conditions? Something in the language or framework I've missed? A configuration setting that magically disables Thread.Abort? Thanks... Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 62950

    - RunDll or remote activation needed In the .NET Framework Developer's Guide there is a page titled Building a Host application. Within this page there is a note: Unlike COM, remoting does not start the host or server application for you. This is an important difference between .NET remoting and remote activation in COM. I need this functionality. I need to be able to start a seperate win32 process and communicate with it. The trick is that there must not be any need for configuration files or such. I could approach the problem one of two ways. Either my client dll can reference the server exe (but referencing an exe is not allowed by the IDE). Or I can reference and execute a dll. The reason I want to reference it is to make sure that VS always puts a copy of it where I can find it, so I can execute it. Another possibility is to make the server app also a COM server and just register it that way, but this is not managed and VS will not register an exe this way. Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out?

    - Accessing Form Controls From Threaded Delegate via Async Callbacks. I have a Form that hosts a control (used for visual feedback). From this form a Class is created. This Class has several events/delegates that are triggered by a Socket (which is a member of the class)'s Async Callbacks. [Eg OnConnected, etc ]. From within this delegate eg. OnConnected, OnReceivedData and OnClose I need a way to be able to provide visual feedback to the form. I setup an event/delegate on the Form and made it public so others could access it. A refernece to the Form was passed to the Class when it was created. However the minute i call Parent.Invoke (Parent.VisualMethod,......) the program hangs. Trapped inside a Try catch to catch any exceptions the program just hangs. I've stepped through the code and when I step into that line the program and debugger never come back. I've tried Control.Invoke, new DelegateMethod(parameters), Parent.VisualControl.Methodstoupdate Maybe there is something here I dont quite fully understand. Maybe there is something very simple that I'm missing. Or Maybe there is an alternate method of achieving my goal. Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 62947

    - working with TCP/IP I have a client server application where the client sends mouse movements and text to the server like "MVU 15" would move the mouse up 15 pixels and "CHAR a" would send an 'a' to the current application. The problem I am having is that when I try to send a string of chars I get multiple sends when I read from the TCP/IP stream for instance on one read I might get "CHAR aCH" then the next read I will get "AR bCH" which obviously breaks my code. I am using the following code to send the data --------------------------- System.IO.StreamWriter NStream; client = new System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient(); client.Connect(System.Net.IPAddress.Parse(strIPAddress),6254); NStream = new System.IO.StreamWriter(client.GetStream()); NStream.Write(s); NStream.Flush(); --------------------------- and the following to read the data --------------------------- skt = listener.AcceptSocket(); byte[] b = new byte[15]; res = skt.Receive(b); ---------------------------------------- I was thinking i will pad the data to 15 chars but it doesn't seem to be a problem for most things, but that might have been a result of the speed it was sent. Any ideas would be great. Thanks in advance, ~Logan Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 62943

    - pwdLastSet and other Active Directory Date types Has anyone been able to get the "date" properties (pwdLastSet, lastLogon, etc.) from Active Directory using JUST the native .Net tools (no com interop with activeds)? When I try to do that, I get strange results. Consider the following simple code: (for this a .Net reference is set to System.DirectoryServices) Private Function Test(ByVal sLDAPPath As String) Dim de As New DirectoryEntry(sLDAPPath) Dim sr As SearchResult Dim ds As New DirectorySearcher(de) Dim lTemp As Long ds.PropertiesToLoad.Add("pwdLastSet") ds.PropertiesToLoad.Add("lastLogon") sr = ds.FindOne If sr Is Nothing Then 'not found Else lTemp = sr.Properties.Item("pwdLastSet")(0) End If End Function With MY user ID, lTemp ends up with 127133852422713849. That's fine, I can use a DateTime.FromFileTime, but it comes back with a date that is about a day off from what I get back using the interop (not just the UTC time difference). I get similar results on other accounts (sometimes it is very close, other times it is WAY off. When I use the Microsoft sample "Active Directory Browser" (adsvw.exe) it shows this value should be 127133856717681145. Again, similar results on other accounts. Samples: above code adsvw.exe 127129877390570772 126626200214730160 126625284477162600 126625284477162600 (yes, this one comes out the SAME!!!) I know I can use something like this: Private Sub Test(ByVal sLDAPPath As String) Dim objUser As ActiveDs.IADsUser objUser = GetObject(sLDAPPath) Dim dt As Date = objUser.PasswordLastChanged() End Sub And it will work (as long as I referenced ActiveDS), but I do not really want to ship the Interop.ActiveDS.dll along (or use COM) for this. Anyone "been there, done that - solved it" that would share? Thanks! Jerry Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 62939

    - Any suggestions to this notouch app issue? Hi I have developed a little windows forms wich is supposed to be deployed with NoTouch (smart client) technolgy. Since a nice GUI is essential for the app i have used transparency to give i at nice look. But then the framework wrap my nice gui in a standard form!! Look at this: http://pings.dk/notouchgui.jpg Any suggestions? I tried this.FormBorderStyle = System.Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None; after the app has loaded. But i has no effect. I guess the framework is wrapping another application around my application. But WHY!. I cant be a security restrcitions since it does no harm to the client...(i guess?!?)

    - Issue arbitrary DOS commands Is there a way to issue an arbitrary DOS commands and see the output? The commands will be entered by the user into a text box. I want to be able to handle commands like DIR, COPY, DELETE, etc. I know I could write the code for each of these commands, but I won't necessarily know all of the possible commands that will be issued. I would like to take the text that the user enters into the text box and issue that command as if the process were at a Windows Command prompt. I have looked at System.Diagnostics.Process and System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo but that only seems to handle executing programs, not necessarily issuing commands.

    - Databound Dropdownlist.... I have a databound dropdown list that is using a SQL database to pull an ID field (CVID) as the Value and a name field (ContractVehicle) as the Text. The dropdown populates perfectly from the database however when I attempt to submit the selection to the database using me.ddPMID.DataValueField I receive an error saying that string "CVID" cannot be converted to type integer. The Value field should contain integers as each of them are autonumbered by the database. The code I am using to populate the dropdownlist follows. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Clearing the download cache on client machines Is there an elegant way to clear the download cache on a client machine? We are deploying a winforms browser and smart client application. Recently we made a mistake with versioning (we release a version with a very large number), and now our internal clients can't download a newer version. Since this is still in house we can install gacutil on people's machines and get it to clear the cache. But this got me thinking, what could we do if this happened with an internet deployed version of application? How does a normal end-user clear their download cache? We can't ask an end-user to install a utility, that would violate the entire purpose of creating a smart-client that runs at the internet trust level. We clearly can't get people to install gacutil.

    - Asynchronous socket problem w/datagrid Hi All -- I am new to VB.Net so bear with me. I have an application where I need to connect to a remote tcp port synchronously, and then asynchronously wait for a data stream to come from the connection. As data comes in, I want to parse it and add it to a DataSet, to be displayed in a Windows Form Datagrid. To test the idea without fooling with the dataset/datagrid, I wrote my raw asynchronous response to a TextBox using a Receive/ReceiveCallback function pair, as per the MS examples. This works fine with no UI problems. Now that I have added the DataGrid into the mix, any time I do anything (click, scroll, select a cell, resize column) to the UI of the datagrid, it seems like the IO is blocking and the application freezes until some data gets passed and/or the MS Gods are satisfied. I'm not sure what's going on. If I turn off the I/O, the datagrid acts fine. If I don't try to populate the datagrid from my ReceiveCallback function, but rather with static data on Form_Load, that works fine too. When I combine the datagrid with the updates from ReceiveCallback, it gets stuck. Any help appreciated. Thanks, Dave Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 62925

    - Interacting with a service? Hey, I'm trying to build a component that satisfies the following properties: 1) only one component is ever created and it maintains its state 2) it can be accessed by any thread on the local machine simultaneously (I will do the synchronization myself since I want read/write locks) 3) the component is never deleted 4) I need to call some of its methods It seems like component services are the way to go (or maybe Windows services?) but I can't figure out how to keep the component alive without using JITA. And if I use JITA, synchronization is done for me. And if I use a Windows service, I don't seem to be able to call methods on it. Any suggestions of resources or ideas I can investigate?

    - ISerializable and SerializableAttribute confusion Hi ! This question was discussed once, but the subject is still unclear: According to Jeffrey Richter article (http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/02/04/net/default.aspx) one can't serialize the type without declaring it with SerializableAttribute. At the same time, we have to impalement ISerializable if we need some custom serialization. In addition, we find the following in MSDN: "Apply the SerializableAttribute attribute even if the class also implements the ISerializable interface to control the serialization process." (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemSerializableAttributeClassTopic.asp). From all this it can be concluded that ISerializable and SerializableAttribute are not intended to be used one instead of other, but in addition (if needed). However, in Marshal-By-Value Objects section (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconremotableobjects.asp) I find the following: "Marshal-by-value (MBV) objects declare their serialization rules (either by implementing ISerializable to implement their own serialization, or by being decorated with SerializableAttribute, which tells the system to serialize the object automatically)" The "or" there at the middle confuses me... Thanks for clarification. Jean Tag: when will .net 2.0 roll out? Tag: 62913

.NET 2.0 will be out somewhere in 2005-2006, together with Longhorn.

The FTP classes will already be available in .NET 1.2. If I remember
correctly, there will be a public beta of 1.2 somewhere in March/April of
next year [however it's possible that I've dreamt all this, so don't rely on
this date too much].
