  • How to Upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8?

    I havent tried upgrading from windows 7 home to win 8 ultimate, but have tried vista home to win 7 ultimate and win7 to win 8 upgrades all of which migrate the installed programs to new OS.

    If you have a lot of programs installed the process takes a lot of time ( hours...somebody even reported 20 hours in one of the forums). The upgrade process nornally gives a compatibility report in advance and is useful in most scenarios.

    Before upgrade try to install the latest BIOS and driver versions on the old OS as it is one of the problems faced during the upgrade.

    Hope this helps.

  • Firefoxs 3D Rendered DOM Inspector

    Though for most of my browsing I use Chrome and IE 10... for some compatibility testing I checked the latest version of Firefox and was amazed by their 3D Rendering Inspector.

    Though at first impression it may look like a gimmicky feature .. i think it will save a lot developers time while adjusting and understanding various CSS attributes ..

    With WinRT .. hoping VS 11 or IE 10 will incorporate such feature ...

  • Strange Socket Problem

    I am currently trying to interface one of our products with a linux/java based IPTV Solution. To communicate certain info my program acts as a .Net TCP Socket Server and accept a variable length data prefixed / affixed by STX and ETX characters.

    Having worked on similar interfaces it seemed straight forward. Normally socket.Receive method will take all the data sent by the client will return number of bytes in the buffer. However, in this case the data seems to be split in multiple buffers i.e. even if the client send a single stream of data, at the server it seems to get come randomly in 3-4 splits.

    I have tried to use things like socket.DontFragment = true or noDelay = true and set the socket buffer size and even while receiving read a large buffer ... but still it does not seem to work...

    Ironically a age cold based on VB6 with winsock seems to work correctly....

    Have any 9'ers faced any similar problems ? If so what was the solution ...

  • SmartCard APIs?

    For now i think the standard you can use especially on PC is   PC/SC http://www.pcscworkgroup.com/ and then APDU commands.

    To make development easier you can get some good wrappers on codeplex ...
