Will IE 9 work in compatibility mode? there are metadata settings that can be added to the page to tell IE 9 to use those modes.

I asked a MS person this question as well and they said that you should be able to side-load on an ARM tablet. That it will be supported. But without one in my hands I can't tell you how to do that yet. Was not able to pick one up this morning.

I have seen some crazy things with this as well and a few times had to shutdown VS and restart the machine for it to work correctly.

Are you talking about deploying for testing, or deploying for the store, or a Line-of-business app that you are trying to deploy?

What errors?

Are you sure that you want to use CUDA and be tied to nVidia chips? OpenCL is very much like CUDA since nVidia was on that comittee, and it can run on other GPUs even the third gen Intel chips with embedded GPUs.

Well said _Amy. This is the advise I give to many people as well.

I will have to disagree with you that they are few site hosting providers that support ASP.NET. I could name a few dozen if you would like. I have had my sites hosted on many different ASP.NET hosting companies and each has good and bad things with it, but you can't say there are only a few that support it. They might not be in the price range you are looking for, but that is a different topic all together.

Azure is actually not a bad choice since you can get up to 10 website for free from them right now. And you don't need to code them as Azure compute instances. If you also look at it at the http://azure.com/ site you will see that they support java, php, node.js, aas well as .NET. Azure websites is a feature that they added this summer: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/scenarios/web-sites/

Are you trying to compile this as ASP.NET 3.5 or 4.0?

It looks like interface should be able to do it, where is your code that you used to test it? Post that and people will help.

Does adding that line to your hosts file manually actually unblock the website for you? I think your code is prabably working correctly, it is just that the blocking is probably being done on a proxy level and not from the local machine. Or it is some child protection app that is acting like a proxy locally. Either way test out changing the hosts file and rebooting and see if it takes effect. If that does not work then this program is not going to help you.

Are you asking for the code for the database? The database itself? The code for the progressbar to move for x minutes? You need to be abit clearer. What have you tried so far?

I started on the article last night and will have it done over the weekend. Want to make sure it is good enough.

Yea, I should do one on it since I have all the sample code and all of the slides from my presentation. Just have to remind myself to do it later after I resubmit my win8 app with the release bits.

Nice tip. That can definately come in handy.

Can you change the vb.net exe at all or is it someone elses code?

Have you loaded other file types that are 50mb in size? It could be a timeout in loading that big of a file.

When I run from the commandline, I typically use the sln name and not the project name as the first parameter. Not sure this would help you tho.

So your installer has to just be with VS2010? Can't you use WiX, InnoSetup, or NSIS? All of those are free.

Thanks Frank. Doing WPF since it was a CTP does have advantages.

Formatted code.

Do you know what version of XP the machine is running?

is there a reason that the dates are not in datetime format? This would not be an issue if they used that type.

what type of website are you looking to deploy? ASP.NET, Wordpress (or other CRM), etc

I got around this with the Date rollingstyle if you want to have that solution.

It is had to know what you are looking for without some additional information from you. First you accepted my answer then unaccepted it. Are you making a corporate app? A consumer app? Each of these can be handled in different ways. We need information from you as to what you are doing.

Reason for my vote of 5
Nice little tip.

Is this WPF 3, 3.5 or 4? This code works for me on .NET 4.

How long does it run before you get that error?

Since this has become a religious discussion, I am going to stop. I gave the OP a link to a free app to help him. Discussions like this can go on forever. Sometime, off-list I can give you a list of apps that schools use today and I would love to see the free alternatives.

But here we are talking about systems for a school. Running a counting program or an alphabet program for the kindergarden classes up to running the sharing software that connects the kids to their online storage systems where they can save their papers and other things. Some of those are old pieces of software that might not be even maintained or the company in business. Are people that promote free software going to step up to the plate and re-write it for them, test it, and then give it away?

But just as you said, just because a system has no cost to purchase it (XP or Linux), it does not mean that there is no cost to using and maintaining it in the long run.

I have been talking to the IT manager at a school recently and he is all for buying more and more software for the systems that they have. They are actually buying iPads for many of the classes and alot of software for each as well. But this comes down to the same issue. He is then locked into iOS apps. He can't use free flash games for the kids. That was a decision that the school system made after he did alot of research. But for him, they knew it was a cost up front and also was not trying to re-use old software like the original post was.

Smaller schools that want to use the same or equivilant software to save on costs can't just chuck the whole thing for a "free" solution that probably does not have most of the apps that they need. You are right, there will be free databases and source control systems out there, but most 1st and 2nd graders are not being taught the finer points of database design or need to have their source code in a repository. ;-)

Many schools have "site" licenses for things like the Office products and XP given to them by either Microsoft or the Gates Foundation. And hiring someone that is an expert in Linux and other things as well as paying for an IT person for all of the MS stuff is abit beyond many schools budgets.

What I had was the service was mainly in a separate dll and the code that was run in the service start was just called from the console app. This way I could start it in debug mode without having to attach to it as a service. For me this helped the debugging.

Is this for WP7, or an earlier version? What does the code look like for the launching of the new window?

That is weird. When I was debugging a service I actually had it launch in a console app instead of as a service so that u could break where I wanted easier.

Are you deleting any folders afterwards or just adding?

Are you using a SQL CE database? or something else like one of the many NoSQL databases?

I definately would like to see an article on this to compare against.

I actually do WCF with Mono for Android. It is pretty boring and the same as doing it in VS normally.

What phone are you trying to write this for? Every phone has a different OS.

So why would you want to combine 5 different html pages into a single one that uses IFs to decide what to show? This would make it very unmaintainable.

Are you trying to do this with a Silverlight or XNA app?

Edit: Just some simple formatting...

Does the real code have a PE.SaveChanges() in it for the context to actually persist the changes?

Thanks for the tip on <probing>. I did not know about that one.

what I have found is that the folder with the plugins does not need the contract dll at all. The main app already has it loaded in memory, so those actually do not need to be there.

I converted our installer to WIX and removed all of the extra files and it is working really well for me.

I am wondering what is not working, because the . folder just means the current folder that you are in. It should not really cause any issue here.

Are you coding it with html? asp.net? or what?

Are you talking about WP7 or windows mobile 6?

This is also a duplicate of the previous post.

What errors are you seeing with this code? You have to help us to know the issue if you want people to spend their time helping.

It seems like you might not have the 64bit C++ compiler installed as an option on that machine.

Under Linker in the Advanced settings (VS2010 is all I have) there is a Target Machine setting where you can change it to x64

Are you trying to run the driver on Win7 32bit or Win7 64bit?

Is it set to compile as x86 or Any CPU in the project settings?

The same error? Or a different one? It should not be the same error if you switched to []

You beat me to the answer. You get a 5 for speed. ;-)

What version of C# / ASP.NET are you using?

The log4net routines also check if debug or info are enabled as well. So Even tho you did not put the check in, log4net did it for you in the log.Debug method. The reason that alot of people use the if statement is that then they might not do any string manipulation as well.

please also keep in mine that using reflecktion to get the logger is not the fastest way. Reflection can be slow and if you are putting it in every method, I can understand wanting all of that to be the same, but using reflection might slow you down.

What do you have so far? Where are you stuck? Or do you just want us to give you code?

So do you want to code in PhoneGap (javascript and html) or in C#? I believe there is a webbrowser control for the Silverlight coding in C#. It is simple enough to have a silverlight button to send the message. Not sure why you would want a webpage to do it.

Do you have anything started for this so that we can help you? What OS are you talking about, Android, iOS, Windows Phone 7, etc ?

Added pre tags

What have you tried so far? Can you edit your question with some code that you are trying so that we can help you?

Great addition to the answer. You are definately right about that.

What are you using, MFC? ASP.NET? WinForm? WPF? or just the WinSDK directly?

Are you using a xib or trying it xib-less?

Are you really using DotGNU? It looks like that project has not been updated in years. You can use VS2010 Express for free and just use the normal .NET.

I would think of it as content not source code.

i never would have suggested tools like this if I knew you were talking about remote users. These are more for systems that you can get your hands on, IMHO.

Cleaned up the text speak.

Totally agree with you Sandeep. And as someone that has taught college programming, I know that the smart professors also check sites like this for this type of thing.

I am having large issues with this too and readding the DLL references seems the best way.

I will put together a stand alone example tonight for you so that I do not give you "proprietary code".

Next time comment in the answer and I will get notified that someone commented. I just happened to look back at this. Normally I would not have.

Are you wanting release notes for the build or a full documentation on the .NET projects for like an API document that others can use?

Cleaned up the texting speak.

I did not down vote you at all. The only times I do that are when something is bad and your answers are not bad. The fact that more than one of us suggested portmon means it really is good as we both know. ;-)

Thanks.

I have found that sometimes this error means the DLL that you are loading needs more dlls there as well. Great suggestion - have a 5.

As I said there are some big reasons not to do this, but it seems there are other people that are interested in the same idea. And I definately agree with you about finding it interesting, but I am not really for it. Just had the info about it because we looked it up before for my company.

The OP also said in the post "or any other programming language".

If this is a homework assignment, then you should not be asking for other people to do it for you. If this is a project for your job, then you should get ready to pay someone to do it. People around here help out when others are stuck on a problem, but not with doing the entire thing for you for nothing.

Sorry for the delay. I know that we had people using the Web Portal for TFS back with 2005, but it still cost a license to get access. With TFS2008, they made the access with the web portal free. We are currently using 2008, but people did use it with 2005.

We have some people that work on WorkItems directly from the web interface. I will get with them tomorrow and see what it is called. What version of TFS are you using?

Thanks Nish.

Thanks Henry. We switched to it from XNA at work because XNA is only DirectX9 based. We had something working with it but needed some of the functionality of DirectX 10. The APICodePack for Windows 7 would have worked but that did not tie into WPF well, so I got SlimDX to work for us.

I totally agree with you that it will be easier for a beginner. There also is SlimDX that is pretty simple as well.

XNA can be used for more than just games. We use it at work for medical devices.

Have another 5....

just added the pre tag.

Are you compiling with 2005, 2008, 2010?

Also if this is on XP, there are hotfixes for display issues.

What type of HL7 messages are you trying to send? Do you have anythings that you have tried yet?

Are you still having this problem? Can you actually use a normal ssh client and connect to the machine? Can you ping the machine?

Are you doing this on winForms, WPF, or ASP.NET? Rotating in WPF is easy, but we need to know what you are trying to use.

Are you using WinForms, WPF, ASP.NET? We have no information to help us answer your question. Please add some additional details if you want help.

When something goes to the bit bucket, it means it just goes away. The 12 bytes that I was showing are the 4 bytes before the buffer and the 4 bytes after so that you can see that they did not change at all.
