when installing did you pick windows authentication mode or mixed mode?

Oh and if your tryign to access from another machine you'll need to do this:

Hi,

Can Anyone Give me an article or maybe a tutorial guide about "Custom Tab Control", "Binding Tab Control" or something related to that

Thank You, Smile | :)

Kind Regard,

I have one server implemented in WIN32 C++. I want to build another server to communicate (Winsock) with this WIN32 server in C#/.NET using Winsock

However I am worried about incompatibility - haven't done Winsock before not sure if things like wiring a custom class over Winsock can be a problem because two ends are implemented in two languages (C++ and C#) and two framework (WIN32 and .NET)

Any suggestion?

Why not just use the sockets stuff in .Net?

You don't have to use the same network libaries at each end, tcp/ip has the same protocols no magtter what Wink | ;)

That'd work huh? I never try this, can I wire a C++ class from WIN32 server, then on receiving end (our C# server) read off the socket...? I have a feeling probably intrinsic types would do just fine but ...

Thanks

There are several layers to network communications. Everything up to network protocol (i.e. tcp/ip most of the time) is standard.

You then have the communications protocol on top of this which can be standard if implimenting an existing one (i.e. the hidious IRC RFC 1459[^]) or custom if your making it yourself.

How you send the data over the communication protocol is what your dealing with here and will govern if (or rather how easily) different frameworks and languages can talk to each other. To send a class over you would have to serialize it at the one end and deserialize it at the other. If you have a serializer in C++ and a deserializer in C# that will work together then it'll be all good Smile | :)

How are you serializing the class at the c++ end?

yes planning on wiring down a vanilla C++ class

I think my C# server will have to linked+interop with a WIN32 C++ dll (perhaps wrapped by C++ managed/.net dll) ... hope this will work

I'de definatly go the route of C++/Cli if you have VS2k5 ... it's great for this sorta stuff Big Grin | :-D

I used to work on a system that relied upon a .Net application communicating via Tcp/IP with a Win32 C++ server. It works and I found no problems with it.

Ok, as for the design, well you'll have to designate one of the applications as the server and one as the client. That way they can communicate. Otherwise you will have to implement both a client and a server in each application.

Look for the C# Chat application article on this web site. That should help.

PropertyGridItem -Dynamic Value Updates

24-Jul-07 5:26

.NET server hasn't been implemented --- to be on the safe side I probably would do it in managed C++ rather than C# so chances of problem in deserialization of the wired C++ class from WIN32 server would be minimize.

I am writing an application in which vehicles are moving on their pre-assigned route. The user is capable of choosing a particular vehicleName from a dropdown list and the chosen vehicle attributes get listed on the PropertyGrid. Since, these vehicle objects are dynamically moving, their attribute - 'fuel_remaining' continuously reduces. But, on the PropertyGrid, the value of the GridItem related to 'fuel_remaining' updates only at the instant when I choose the vehilceName from the dropdown list. If I have to see the updated value again, I have to choose the vehicleName again from the list. Is there anyway where I can program it to show the continuously changing value for that attribute field from just one selection of the particular vehicleName from the list?

Thanks for the help, if anyone can provide.

I'm trying to compile test code with VS 2005 so that it generates xml documentation, however, only part of the tags are being generated. Why?

Math.cs:
// Math.csnamespace Wrox.ProCSharp.Basics{///

/// Wrox.ProCSharp.Basics.Math class./// Provides a method to add two integers.///

public class Math{///

/// The Add method allows us to add two integers///

///<returns>Result of the addition (int)///<param name="”x”" />First number to add///<param name="”y”" />Second number to addpublic int Add(int x, int y){return x + y;}}}

Command prompt:
C:\temp>csc /t:library /doc:Math.xml Math.cs
Microsoft (R) Visual C# 2005 Compiler version 8.00.50727.42
for Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 2005 Framework version 2.0.50727

Also, IE prompts me that it has blocked ActiveX controls when it loads this file. Why?

Please modify your post and check that "Ignore HTML tags in this message"

I believe it enables the thingy that allows you to expand/collapse xml nodes when viewed in IE.

Use the "Ignore HTML" option when you are posting markup code.

Hi,

the structured comments that optionally get collected into an XML documentation file
need some special keywords, such as summary, returns, remarks.

Furthermore at least one of the Visual Studio versions has a bug, resulting in the
omission of all comments on properties.

Smile | :)
