Sending entire objects via socket vs primitive message fields
I am using a library called "The Network Development Kit". http://www.codeproject.com/internet/ndk.asp The kit allows me to easily establish client/server connections and assemble "messages" (consisting of strings, integers, etc) to pass back and forth between the client and server. With my initial protocol design, I have been passing data via the primitive data field types (strings, int's, etc). The basic logic flow requires me to: 1) Deconstruct the object and assemble the varying field values into a CNDKMessage. 2) Send that message to the server and reconstruct the object on the server side. 3) Do some processing. 4) Deconstruct the object again assembling its different values into a CNDMessage and send it back to the client. 5) The client then takes the message fields and recontructs the object with the new values. Within the message assembly class, there exists an interface that allows me to send an entire object (LPVOID,UINT size). This would make it much more convenient to just send the entire object between the client/server without having to compose/decompose it's primitive elements. I don't see any troubles with this. But am I missing some design considerations here? The only one that I can think of is that this may cause troubles when producing a cross-platform client. Serializing a "CObject" on the windows side may not translate correctly within a Linux client. How does everyone else generally do it? Do you usually just send the entire object, or do you decompose your protocol into primitive types of integers and strings? Thanks in advance.

Sending an entire object with (LPVOID, UINT size) is not usually practical. If the object contains any pointers then all this simple approach does is send the pointers, not the "contained" data. All dynamically resizable container classes (vector, CString, ...) contain pointers. MFC contains a reasonably rich set of container classes that already support serialization. I.e. the MFC code will help compose/decompose objects. -- Scott McPhillips [VC++ MVP]
scottmcpIs it anything that derives from CObject, supports serialization? Within my class, I have usage of CString, CMap<>, and CStringArray. Are these going to be supported? Do the classes utilized within the CMap template have to support serialization?

Archive your data to a CMemFile. You are then able to read the memfile into buffers, send them, and recreate the memfile at the other end. You can then construct another CArchive from the memfile and read in the objects.

Multiple value field displaying number instead of what is in the table
I have two columns on my report. One column named Loss Category that is bound by the field Loss Category on my table and is set up as a combo box that allows multiple values to be selected on the form.

Can we show a custom field on the Event page?
I have a shared calendar to reserve conference rooms. We use the Subject field to show the group/topic that is using the room and the Location field to show which room is reserved for the meeting. But I'm finding that sometimes we need to know who reserved the room. Is there a way to add a field to the Event page under Subject and Location? I know I can add a field to the table/All Events view but I'll never get my users to use that. I'd like to have a field right on the Event page that will be hard for them to ignore. Thanks, Randy -- Smooth seas never made...

Change autonumber field to number field
Is there a convenient way to change an autonumber field to a number field? I tried using the table design view but received the error: "You can't change the data type or field size of this field; it is part of one or more relationships. If you want to change the data type of this field, first delete its relationships in the Relationships window." If I were to break and remake the relevant relationships, would that suffice or might there be downstream effects which are not rectified when the relationships are remade? Many thanks, Paul Hello Paul. "paulkaye" wrote:...
Replies not showing original message
I use Outlook 2000 and sometimes when I reply to a message the original message does not show when I am responding to it. If I CC myself on the message I see my reply and the original message.

I have the settings set to show the original message in replies and forwards. Any suggestions? ...
