I have been using DBTransaction for my current projects that access a single database. However, I read some documentation on TransactionScope and was wondering in which scenario would using TransactionScope be better? Or should I be replacing DbTransaction calls with calls to TransactionScope?
View 2 RepliesWhat the Win32 API is? I have looked around but no where really outlines what it is. Is it basically a set of procedures, outlined by Microsoft for programmers in order to get services from the operating system? In essence is it the equivalent to making system calls abd and library calls in UNIX? And yes I now Windows makes library calls too.
View 2 RepliesDo we have nay .NET framework classes to replace the following API calls?
CreateWindowEx
GetWindowText
ShowWindow
SendMessage
GetWindowRect
Basically we have migrated our application from VB6 to .NET and used same API calls in .NET as well.
Now the time has come to replace all API calls to .NET framework classes.
We used those API calls to validate textboxes by popping up a temporary error message box next to textbox object. After few seconds, the error message box disappears by itself or on loosing the focus of textbox.
If we can use the similar functionality of .NET, then there will be less code changes

View 2 RepliesFor some time ago I have notice that my App on every start make a call to csc.exe and starts it.

VB.Net code to make my App on every start calls csc.exe?
View 13 RepliesThis should be fairly basic, but say I have a Public property as local variable on my WCF service, and I set this in one call to the service. Is there a way to preserve that data for another call to the service? (Without writing the data to xml or a db, and re-referencing it or anything like that)

I have an application which has been succesfully installed on a number of different client machines.
The problem I now have is that I have been asked to allow third party applications, possibly written in a non .net language set to plug into my application and execute some of the code. Just a handfull of properties and half a dozen methods.
Now I can wrap up these properties/methods, make them public and have them in their own project which will be part of my solution but I have no idea where to go from here.
How do I make this portion of my application accessible to a third party application written in unmanaged code ?
Trying to make a call to another forum to chance some text boxes on it and update it. I had it working I thought but the values were not holding when I closed the box so I came up with this solution but Im getting null exceptions.[code]....
View 11 RepliesI have a CRM application that I would like to programatically post new records and updates to, based on values in other tables getting inserted or updated. Problem is because of how this CRM app was designed I cannot use straight SQL insert/update SQL commands. This is because the database has some proprietary account#/record ID generation algorithm, and also writes to a log table using some pretty cryptic looking values.
The only way to ensure the integrity of the data is to use a the COM based API they provide. How can I send calls to this API from SQL Server code, I'm guessing a CLR user defined function? Can anyone point me to such tutorial on the web?
The updates I am making MUST be in real time, that is why I need to use a trigger that calls this app's API.
I'm having some trouble finding the syntax for making function calls to unmanaged DLLs in VB.NET. Let's just assume there's a function "Connected" in unmanaged DLL "Connector.DLL". I want to call this function by creating an abstract function call to it.

[DllImport("Connector.DLL")]
Public Shared Function Connect(ByVal intPort)
But that syntax doesn't work for me.

View 4 RepliesI'm working with the DevExpress XtraGrid control.I have a routine that goes thru and adds all the controls on the current form dynamically, and launches on a seperate thread the routine for a given control to initialize it to the value that will be displayed to the end-user. Some of the controls are displaying calculated values, and take some time to return their values, so that's why we are doing it on a seperate thread.
[Code]...
I'm using a similar snippet of code for any control properties that have to be updated, and all work fine. On the above code when the actual Invoke is called, it APPEARS that the thread just ends and never calls the delegate, and doesn't return to finish either.
My app is basically talking to a device via RS232. I need to 'listen' to the data received and do certain things based on it, update labels, etc. When I started, I only had a couple cross-thread calls and I used JMC's example to get by that. Now my app is bigger and I am calling the ThreadProcSafe all the time. I am hoping there is an easier way so I don't have to create sub routines for every control. Here's the relevant parts of my code.
Private Sub StepperSerialPort_DataReceived(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.Ports.SerialDataReceivedEventArgs) Handles StepperSerialPort.DataReceived

What I have is a simple sql storedprocedure that selects all employeedetails.And also another sql stored procedure that selects just a few columns from the employees table. On my frist page I am going to list all the employee names in a gridview and when they click the employee name it should take them to another page and show that employee's details. Seems like you have to use an object datasource to achieve this but is there an easier way to achieve creating a class that calls the 2 stored procedures that I have that i would be able to then link them with an objectdatsource?
Hey everyone I need some help, I created a bat/vbs (created two just incase) file that takes images that users have scan and re-names them places them into differnet folder and zips them so they can be uploaded that night.

View 6 RepliesI've created a page that makes several calls to different rss feeds based on the keywords I pass to the page.

Is there a way to execute all of the calls at one time?
