I am trying to get a build going for a client that pulls from VSS 2005 (yes, I have no choice). I am pretty sure I have all my configuration correct, but I keep getting this error: Source control operation failed: $/Utilities/Orbital Gateway/Solution Architecture/Release Construction/Payment Subsystem/Services/PaymentService is not an ex...
When you select, for example, a Size of 8 in a Font Dialog for Microsoft Sans Serif, it returns a font that .NET displays as having a size 8.25? Why is this exactly? ...
I posted this answer (more of an idea really) but haven't been able to find out for sure which message triggers a WinForms Form.Load event. From Spy++ and some reading I suggested it might be WM_SHOWWINDOW, but I'd like to be sure. Also, other than Spy++ is there a better way to see exactly which windows message triggered a .Net event?...
just adding a zero like below [assembly: AssemblyVersion("2.03.406.2")] results in 2.3.406.2 which is not what I want. So this may not be possible? ...
I have a web application which passes an authentication key to web services for security. to avoid Man In The Middle attacks, the IP address of every request is checked against the IP address from the initial authentication request.

I'm trying to use a stored procedure in the entity framework. I had the model created initially without the stored proc. I then went into Update Model from Database and selected the stored procedure I wanted and then added it through the function import.

New Things may be added as children to the selected Things with the click of a button... Visual Basic... Private Sub ButtonAddThing_Click(...) ...
Hello, I'm working on a simple hello world TCP/IP client server app in C# and am unable to get my client to connect. Can anyone offer any additional troubleshooting steps? I'm starting to run out of ideas... Here are the relevant sections of code: server: Console.Out.WriteLine("About to bind address"); IPAddress ipAd = IPAddress.Pa...
Most of my programming experience is in a language where there is one collection data structure -- an array. Now that I'm working primarily in .NET, I've come to appreciate the vast number of tools available to me, but I also find it difficult to determine which tools is best suited for each problem. I find this to be the case often wi...

He needs a WebSite / E-Commerce and what to be able to customize the look of the e-commerce. He also wants to be able to extend some functionality like product configuration.

I've been trying to optimize my code to make it a little more concise and readable and was hoping I wasn't causing poorer performance from doing it. I think my changes might have slowed down my application, but it might just be in my head. Is there any performance difference between: Command.Parameters["@EMAIL"].Value = email ?? Strin...
My most used mini pattern is: VideoLookup = new ArrayList { new ArrayList { buttonVideo1, "Video01.flv" }, new ArrayList { buttonVideo2, "Video02.flv" }, new ArrayList { buttonVideo3, "Video03.flv" }, new ArrayList { buttonVideo4, "Video04.flv...
In the most recent version (4.1, released October 2008) of The Microsoft Enterprise Library's Exception Handling Application Block, there are two HandleException() method signatures, and I am a bit lost on the intent for these, especially since neither the documentation, intellisense, nor the QuickStart apps intimate any meaningful diffe...
Here's the issue. I'm using ASP.NET Forms Authentication for an account balance type website. Once a user logs in, they are able to make a payment against their account by going to a 3rd party website (3pw). When the user clicks to make a payment, this is what happens: My website makes a request to the 3pw passing an id. The 3pw does a...
If a .NET application needs to call a web service is there a good solution for checking if the web service is currently up and available, outside of calling a specific web method? On my web services I usually include some sort of status method for testing, but this becomes an issue when using a third party web service. ...
I don't really know much about the internals of compiler and JIT optimizations, but I usually try to use "common sense" to guess what could be optimized and what couldn't. So there I was writing a simple unit test method today: @Test // [Test] in C# public void testDefaultConstructor() { new MyObject(); } This method is actually ...
Is there a better way to check if a file is not locked then to open the file to catch an exception. I have a filewatcher running on a directory and I need to do something to the file after the file has completely moved/created in the location. Aren't throwing an exception a performance hit? Is there a better way? Private Function FileAv...

has anyone ever written an application bigger than its .net luggage? People used to criticize vb6 for its 2 MB runtime but it rarely dwarfed the app it accompanied. Today despite having vista on my machine I had to download 35 MB of the 3.5 framework and reboot to then try out an app half that size. When you factor in the decreased sou...
It would be awesome to say we'd use the same software as amazon, barnesandnoble, buy.com, etc, but they are all built custom (as far as I know). I'm looking for a software package with the following primary attributes: Scalable to the tune of millions of unique visitors per month Localizable including double-byte languages Accepts mul...
