• A.F.B Blocking registration in Windows Live for specific domains?

  Is there a way to block Windows Live from accepting registrations for specific domains that we own We have having a constant problem with people registering non-existant emails under own domains and then trying to trick others into thinking that they are affiliated with us. Thank you for your response, We need a solution to stop people registering with Windows Live using our domains, or a method to allow us to authenticate requests to register using our domains. This is a serious security issue as it allows anyone to masquerade as if they were part of our team. Can you explain more, does this question have to do with an API or is this a BOT questi ...Show All

  I've been using WLM for months and months now with no problem at all. But lately everytime I sign in, the program locks up most of the time, and if not it spends a very long period being unresponsive before suddenly showing all online contacts as having just signed in and then giving me control of the program as normal. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and the same thing also happens with MSN 7.5.

• Grant Jenkins SIP icon location

  Hello, on new WM5 devices, the SIP icon appears to be a bit more clever than before. If an old application is executed, it will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. On other occasions it will appear in the bottom centre of the menu. This behaviour might produce decent results for most cases, but causes troubles in an application that i am assigned to. Does anybody know if there is a way to configures the SIP icon to show up in the bottom right corner of the screen I do not want to move the MS_SIPBUTTON window by force, but a more decent API that configures the SIP control to show up the old way. Thanks in advance, Peter Vrenken If you add at least three menuitems when you design the form, the SIP is positioned at the b ...Show All

• Samahith Problem when serializing messages to be sent over the net

  Hi all, I'm developing few .NET client/server applications that all use the same model of communication - it sends and receives messages using Sockets. When I serialize/deserialize the message I'm using the BinaryFormatter class. Now I need to build my app so that it is executable on Pocket PC. My first problem was that Compact framework 2.0 SP1 does not contain BinaryFormatter. I was looking for any other serializer-class feasible in the CF and have found only XmlSerializer. So I'm using this class. My actual problem with the XmlSerializer is that it does not serialize my object automatically - I mean that I have always to add the XmlInclude attribute. My class structure is like this: [XmlInclude(typeof(NetMessageBase))] ...Show All

• shiveta file opened?

  <deleted> Two reasons: 1. Your implementation of instance count can't possibly work since even static variables are not shared across instances. You’d need to use something else, e.g. named mutex. On Windows Mobile (which you’re probably using but incorrectly call it Windows CE) NETCF enforces single instance behavior which would maximize running instance and terminate second one. OK... so I thought about your proposal and made a test application that keeps track of instance count. I also put in a command line argument parameter to get the name of the file and how the application is being told to open the file Here is the entire program ( Form1 is the standard template form ...Show All
