((System.IO.Stream)(s)).ReadTimeout. What might be wrong?
Hello,
I have a class that writes to a MemoryStream but I am getting a
strange error:
ReadTimeout = '((System.IO.Stream)(s)).ReadTimeout' threw an exception
of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'
base {System.SystemException} = {"Timeouts are not supported on this
stream."}
Source = "mscorlib"
WriteTimeout = '((System.IO.Stream)(s)).WriteTimeout' threw an
exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException'
base {System.SystemException} = {"Timeouts are not supported on this
stream."}
Source = "mscorlib"
Any idea why might be wrong?
I really have no idea.
Thank You,
Miguel

I see you are posting this and at least one other question here and to
the forums as well.
MemoryStreams don't support timeouts and it is documented that some
streams throw an exception. If you have a timeout on a memory stream,
you have bigger concerns to worry about, like needing a new computer...

Yes: memory will never time out, so there's no point in MemoryStream
supporting these properties, and .NET is slapping you on the wrist for
accessing them when you shouldn't be.

Sorry, both questions are related to the same problem.
The first is to solve it and the second is an alternative I am trying
to use to check if it solves it.
This is driving me crazy for hours and I decided to post in the two
different forums to try to get some help.
Didn't know the forums are related ....
Should I post only in one? Which one? I just though the communities
were different ...
Sorry but it sounds strange this is a problem with my computer ...
Maybe the fact that I am using NET 4.0?
The CSVWriter class is:
http://kbcsv.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/view/42031#530488
I can't find what might be the problem ...

Find the line that the exception occurs. This line is presumably a
WriteTimeout or ReadTimout property on a stream being set. If this is
in the CSVWriter class, then the class has a bug, because it cannot work
with MemoryStreams. If it is your code, it is because you cannot set
the properties. Setting the properties throws this exception, not a
timeout during your read/write with the memory stream. This is because
memory streams do not timeout. They cannot time out.

When printing page to pdf, my Excel XY chart shrinks to one half s
Quick question for the MVPs, like Jon P. and others. I have an Excel page with six dense XY graphs. But, each of these graphs are actually a picture of an XY graph from another page within the same workbook--it is a summary sheet. The problem is that whenever I print that summary page to pdf, the pdf software cuts down the height of each graph to exactly 1/2 the size. I have used CUTEpdf Writer and Acrobat Pro, and both of them do this. Moreover, after printing, the summary page, the "picture" graphs in the Excel file also show the same reduction in size.

Does changing a user's default Internet address mean you should uncheck "Automatically update e-mail addresses based on the recipient policy"?
Hello, We have a lot of users with multiple family names, e.g., John Smith- Doe. The Internet address generated by the standard recipient policy is very often not what they want, e.g., they want john.smith@company com or john.doe@company.com but not john.smith-doe@company.com. When that happens, we just manually edit the Internet address in ADUC.

Keep POP mail out of Exchange's Sent Items
We use Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 for email. I got tired of going to my personal ISPs webmail site any time I wanted to send/receive email without it going thru my Exchange server, so I just created a .pst file, set up my POP account in Outlook, and created a rule to move all mail from that account to a folder in the .PST file. Unfortunately, I apparently can't create a similar rule for outgoing mail? I just sent a test email using Outlook, making sure to select the POP account as the account to send the message thru. However, it still showed up in the Sent Items folder in m...
When printing page to pdf, my Excel XY chart shrinks to one half s
Quick question for the MVPs, like Jon P. and others. I have an Excel page with six dense XY graphs. But, each of these graphs are actually a picture of an XY graph from another page within the same workbook--it is a summary sheet. The problem is that whenever I print that summary page to pdf, the pdf software cuts down the height of each graph to exactly 1/2 the size. I have used CUTEpdf Writer and Acrobat Pro, and both of them do this. Moreover, after printing, the summary page, the "picture" graphs in the Excel file also show the same reduction in size. Do any of you...

Does changing a user's default Internet address mean you should uncheck "Automatically update e-mail addresses based on the recipient policy"?
Hello, We have a lot of users with multiple family names, e.g., John Smith- Doe. The Internet address generated by the standard recipient policy is very often not what they want, e.g., they want john.smith@company com or john.doe@company.com but not john.smith-doe@company.com. When that happens, we just manually edit the Internet address in ADUC. My question is: if we change the address generated by the default recipient policy, is it best-practice to then also uncheck the "Automatically update e-mail addresses based on the recipient policy" option box? If we leave it...
Switching OS systems
I know a lot of people probably like Windows 7 by now but its given me several headaches and I certainly checked before installing Windows 7 for incompatibilities ... I won' get in to my petty probs though. What I want to do is switch from Windows 7 back to Vista allthough I did not create a windows.old file whie installing Win7. If I was to copy my WHOLE C Drive to another hard drive and ran the vista recovery disk I assume I would be at day one with the Vista operating system back on the computer. The question is: Can I copy the full C Drive from the standby computer on ...
Text file from mainframe system
We are working on extracting a data file from an IBM mainframe system to merge it into a .csv Excel file. The options for saving the file are either ASCII or carriage- return indicator at the end of each line. What is Excel looking for at the end of each line for it to merge the data into the spreadsheet correctly? We have tried both options and it merges all info into one row. How are you merging your data into excel? For most DOS/windows programs, the end of line character is crlf (carriage-return/Line-feed). It's really two different characters (hex 0D, followed by hex 0A)....
Operator's Manual Template
I'm working on an operator's manual for a fire truck. I have it in Word. There are 11 sections. I have a table of contents and figures.

Window's App specific Volume slider
This probably isn't the right group to ask, but it is a VB6 app I'm having this issue with and I can't think of anywhere more appropriate. The problem I'm having is with a VB6 App that features video clip, audio clip, and DVD playback with volume controls. The volume sliders my app implements are simple VB slider controls adjusting the volume of either a directshow audio object or an MCI API audio channel. My issue doesn't have anything to do with these though, the problem I'm having is with the volume slider that Windows (Vista and 7) automatically genera...
Opening other user's folder #2
I have set up outlook to open other user's folders. There are some people who have left the dept. and I'd like to remove them from the Other User's Folder pull down menu. I've removed full mailbox access using ADUC, but want to remove the "other user's" name from the display without creating new outlook profile. Any solutions to this? Registry setting? thx See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/usertips.htm#otherusers for information on what changes to make in the registry to clear the "open other user's folder" history. -- Sue Mosher, ...
OWA
I have full permissions to other users' mailboxes, and can access them in Outlook, but when I try in OWA I receive the error "You are not authorized to view this page." The way I try to access the another user's mailbox is by appending /[email alias]/inbox. (I've also tried multiple combinations of substituting email alias with user logon name and keeping/dropping "inbox.") This worked at one time, but I haven't tried it in a while. So either some updates I have applied to my server (sbs 2003 premium - running Exhange 2003) or some other configuration ch...
Mails stuck in "vsi 1\Queue" folder
Hi! I am currently tracing an Exchange queue issue that I cannot figure out myself. We are running Windows 2003 SP2 Exchange 2003 ENT SP2 - but periodically emails are stuck in the "vsi 1\Queue" folder on the disk. However, the messages doesn't appear in the "Queue" view in the Exchange System Manager - and all Exchange logs (Transport + SMTP) says that the emails have been delivered correctly to all receipients - although in rare circumstances certain receipients doesn't receive the emails either. The problem seem to have been minimized after applying Windows 20...
changing passwords on system account
We have been requested to set our exchange service account from password never expires to user must change password at next logon. We are running in mixed mode with several exchange 2000 servers and a couple exchange 5.5 servers. Also, we have been requested to make the same change on the systemmailbox accounts that are created with each store. If we change those accounts to user must change password at next logon, what will happen if anything to the exchange 2000 servers, the exchange 5.5 servers and to any or all of the stores. Thanks - Mike Mike, If I understand you correctly it...

Streaming Database
What is Streaming Database (.stm) file ? what is the use of it ?? When exchange server receive messages from the Internet, instead of converting to MAPI format, it stores them in the .STM file in their native or raw format. STM files don't have indexes but pointers to them are created in the .EDB file. Also in STM file there is no indication to which mailbox each item belongs to. Hence when restoring EDB files, it must have matching STM file otherwise it will not work. Hope this will explain. "Dragon" wrote: > What is Streaming Database (.stm) file ? > what is t...
