Ha,one time I was searching for something on MSDN and couldn't find it no matter how I searched. So I went to google and typed my query the way I did the first time and the very first result was the MSDN page I wanted. I haven't used MSDN's search since.

I still use xp at work, but I just drag the little window telling me to reboot down to the bottom of the screen where I can barely see it. Eventually it will just force a reboot, so I make sure to save my work before I leave.

Everyone knows a kid that likes tinkering with computers and thinks they could get the kid to do it for little to nothing instead of paying you. No one knows a kid that tinkers around with the plumbing.

So you have a Web Service, a client app, and some other app on the server. You want the client app to contact the web service, which will then activate the server app, which the client app will be waiting to hear from?

I love a good cop hate story as much as anyone, so when I first read the headline about this I got excited. However, once I read the details I discovered it was really just some guy trying to provoke a cop so he could have something to bitch about.

Ok, so come to discover that there was some issue with the image itself and Firefox could display it, but IE could not. Thanks for you suggestion though.

I have an .ashx file that loads an image (specified by id in querystring) and then writes it out to the client. This works perfectly in Firefox, but all I get is a red X in IE7 (I have no way to test IE6). Here is the method: public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context) { int contribId = Convert.ToInt32(context.Request.QueryString["id"]); byte[] buffer = Contributor.GetImage(contribId); context.Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg"; context.Response.BinaryWrite(buffer); } Any idea what is wrong with this?

Just call him French.

Smaller ones have local news which can be hard to find else where if you live in a small town. It's also good for small local businesses to advertise in since it is cheaper than TV.

Thanks for the reply. Because there was no actual change in the class (just version) I was able to just change the Version number listed in the binary file to the new version and it cast fine from there on out.

I have a program that I didn't write, but maintain. Recently the assembly version was incremented to 1.0.1.0 and when it tries to load serialized objects (binary formatter) that were made with 1.0.0.0 I get an InvalidCastException. There was nothing changed in these on the objects themselves so there should be really need to be a cast.

Thanks for the suggestion, I actually just figured it out. There is an XML file that lists all a bunch of types for this Query Builder tool we have and in this XML file it specifies the version, so all I had to do was update the version number in this file and it started working fine.

I have an application where I incremented the version on one of the projects now when I try and run it I get an Invalid Caste exception when I try to cast an object to a class that it is (specifically I have a class that implements an interface and I'm trying to cast it to that interface). I get the little message that pops up warning me that some assembly was compiled in release mode so I won't have debugging or some such. This pop up lists the assembly as 1.0.0.0 when I have set the assembly to 1.1.0.0. Why won't it use the new version? I have already removed all references and readded them in all projects that are dependent on this assembly.

Ok the cause of this was my own stupidity... specifically I had a property trying to return itself in the getter, it's fixed now.

Fair enough.

I fail to see how calling someone "the bitch" is not insulting? I do however, think the shirt is funny.

I have a form in my project that opens fine and works fine when the program is running. However, if I make a change to the form and press the save button VS2k5 immediately closes or if I right click and select "View Code" after making a change to the form VS closes. The only thing on the form is a usercontrol and 2 buttons. I tried to recreate the form with a different name, but when I attempt to add the user control VS closes. I can open the user control and modify it to my hearts desire without VS closing. When VS crashes it leaves a process running: Crm.Client.Test.vhost.exe. Crm.Client.Test is the assembly name of my program. I have tried rebooting, doing a clean solutions then rebuild. I am at a loss for what to do?
