Hi All, I am developing an application where a vehicle's route will be tracked by Microsoft MapPoint. Recently, it gives me an error message box - "Server Busy" and it has 2 option buttons "Switch to" and "Retry". I have searched in Google and they say that it occurs when - the COM object(here MSMapControl) is not responding within a time period. They all suggest to set "app.OleRequestPendingTimeout" to a higher value. But this is in Visual Basic and this object is not supported in C#. Can anyone tell me how can i do this in C# ? Thanks

I am facing problem with a Webservice. When the server runs on wired network, my webservice client can work fine. It gets proper response from server. But when i am configuring a wireless network in the server, then the client can not get any response from webservice in server. The wireless network is set up by aircard from sprint. The webserver has anonymous access. I think it may be related to security issue. The server runs on port 82. Not on default IIS port 80. I can connect to the webservice using InternetExplorer. So it is running fine. But my client program gets no response. Why my client program gets response in wired network, but not in wireless network. I have no clue. So please help me to sort this out. Thanks

well, thanks for your reply. I did not actually read the documentation and i was just working according to a sample code. So i had no idea about filter. Now i read how to filter or block log messages. I couldn't make filter work yet. But now it is working using this- category name="NHibernate" level value="Error"/ category So only error messages will be shown now. Please let me know if there is any other better solution. Thanks a lot :) -- modified at 1:42 Wednesday 25th July, 2007

I am writing a windows service that uses NHibernate for performing database access. Now, for debugging and other purpose, i am using log4net that prints log messages and thus we can keep track of the works of the service. But the problem is- if i set log priority to INFO, it prints loads of unnecessary messages related to NHibernate. I want to block these NHibernate info's and want to keep only those messages that i wrote myself(log.info). I don't know where these NHibernate messages are coming and i need a way to stop them. How can i disable the log messages that are automatically written by NHibernate ? Can i filter them out and keep only my log info's ? Please help if any one have any idea.... Thanks

i need to invoke a windows method. For this i call an exe file from windows\system32 directory. But i need to know in which drive winodws is installed. I think it is not wise to hard-code my code -"c:\windows\system32". So can any one tell me how do i know this path from my program in run time? Thanks

I developed an Installer using C# set up project. Now when i try to repair it instead of removing it, still it removes the product. what can i do so - when i say it to repair, it will repair the software?

Chayan

Devesh, thank you very much for being so much helpful. I simply loved the article that you suggested. I can't believe it can be so simple and so cool. thanks my friend. Now i will use it and surprise my friends and colleagues:-D....

Chayan

Can you please tell me how you did that ? I am really curious to know this. thanks

Chayan

sorry i don't know the solution either. But i really liked your comment and i would like to develop an uninstaller.exe too. It's quite a hazard to go to control panel every time i need to uninstall a sw. Specially it is disgusting for developers who need to test their project again and again. Hope someone can give a solution.... i believe many people like me, will be happy to find a proper solution... thanks

I have developed an application that will upload files to FTP Server as part of its task. Now it works quite well most of the time. But sometimes it gets web exception-called timeout exception - System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out. at System.Net.FtpWebRequest.GetRequestStream() I searched in google and didn't find any useful help. I saw an attibute (in FtpWebRequest class) called Timeout. I didn't set any value to it, cause i assumed that the default value will do. But now that it gets timeout exceptions , what should i do? 1. Can i solve it Just by setting some high value in this(timeout) attribute ? will it have any performance overhead ? 2. I am using FtpWebRequest. I am sending synchronous calls. Do I need to change it to asynchronous calls or it will be all the same? Is there any relation between time out and Sync/ASync calls ? I am finding no solution to this. So i will be waiting for a help from this forum. thanks -- modified at 13:46 Wednesday 4th July, 2007

I need to download data from multiple web servers using a web-service. Now the same web-service will be running on each of the servers. They will just have separate URL. I am a new-comer in this web-service technology. I can only implement clients by first adding web reference to one of the servers. Developing clients without adding web reference seemed very complicated to me. So i want to add one reference and change the URL to access other servers. Now my question is- I will write the client code by adding any dummy web-server as web-reference. Then later when my client will run, this web-server might be shut-down, but it will keep calling this web-service by using other URL's. Will this create any trouble? thanks

Chayan

thanks a lot man !!! this is such a simple and cool solution..thanks for the great help.

I need to connect to multiple servers and call their web methods of the webservice. But the problem is - the IP address of those servers will be known to me only in run time and this list may change. The same web-service will be running in each of these servers except that- they have different IP Addresses. I accessed web-services from clients by adding the web-services as web-reference(with specifying web url). But in this case- it doesn't seem possible. Can anyone please give me some ideas about how i can do this? thanks

Thanks a lot for your great help. I found the way to create virtual directory using C#. And this is quite cool. Thank you very much. So you are suggesting not to bundle those IIS files in installer. Rather, give user a prompt to install IIS. Can you please tell me why ? I just need to know, does it have any bad consequences ? Is there any chance of License Related Legal issues or copy right infringement ? Also, is there any other system related problems ? or any other ? It will be a great help if you can please send some details. Thanks

I am developing a project which has a web project as a part of it. Now to use it, i need to first install IIS. Is there any way, that my setup project will also install IIS if it does not already exist. Also, can i create virtual directory in IIS from C# code ? thanks

Chayan

You are welcome. and thanks for your offer of coffee:). let me be optimistic..

Chayan

So you are in a strange situation. This option may vary from version to version. I am not sure. I use visual studio 2005. I don't know about other versions.. One more thing, i know you have already checked everywhere for this option. So it's silly to say it again. But still, just to make sure, there are 2 property pages. One if you right click on the SetUp project and click on property. Then you'll see a property page but you can't find it there. But if you just select the setup project, then in the property tab, you should find it. But i know, you must have checked it and can't find it. So I don't know what can be the solution. Hope that, someone else can help you. Regards

Chayan

So you just need to overwrite the previous installed versions while installing ? In that case, just check the properties of the installer project. In the property window, you will find an attribute - 'RemovePreviousVersions'. Set it to "true"(sorry for previous mistake, just set it to true) and i hope it will work. btw, thanks for your reply to my post.
