• Krenshau Uninstall Vista SDK RC1

  Hi To install the final Vista SDK (6.0.6000.0) I need to uninstall the Vista SDK RC1 (6.0.5536.0).. I have tried this through the add/remove programs, but something did go wrong and it was not uninstalled. In a previous thread i have read that installing the RC1 SDK would resolve this problem, but that is no longer avaliable on the webpage. How do I remove the old SDK or force the installation of the new SDK Regards Thorbjorn Hi The pre-release SDK is no longer avaliable, so I think that the only solution was to manually uninstall the msi files. Regards Thorbjorn Have you tried going to add/remove programs -> Change -> then click remove on the m ...Show All

• jitendra badkas New Sample: Simple STS

  I've posted another sample, this time a Simple STS! With that you should be able to do complete end-to-end scenario testing with CardSpace. It's pretty darn lightweight, and doesn't provide a whole lot of anything, but it's simple enough to understand without too much effort. http://cardspace.netfx3.com/files/folders/samples-july-ctp/entry5204.aspx g Garrett Serack | Program Manager |Federated Identity Team | Microsoft Corporation blog: http://blogs.msdn.com/garretts It would have been nice to see the sample files updated.  This would have saved me and others the time having to search and fix the issues of the sample files on .net 3.0 RC1.

• Jordan Carroll XPS Viewer - SDK & plug-in interface?

  Hi, is there a plug-in interface/SDK for the XPS viewer that allows third parties to extend the functionality of the XPS Viewer Regards, nixps The xps viewer will be the default application to render xps files on both Vista and XP (at least, that is how I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong). I'm interested in extending the functionality of that particular application: so that users can use their familiar xps viewer, but with extra functionality that is provided via a plug-in (provided the plug-in is installed, of course). My question: is this, or will this be, possible nixps Just to understand your request, why don't you use DocumentViewer class in WPF to extent Charles ...Show All

• Andy Ho Windows SDK installer fails (v6.0.6000.0 RTM)

  I have downloaded the 1.15gb RTM windows installer twice now (the standalone not web download) and get the same message about an invalid digital signature. The file it fails on is \Setup\WinSDKDocNetFx-WinSDKDocNetFx-common.6.cab. I can't imagine I downloaded it and got it corrupt twice in the same place.

• MA2005 Passing parameters from the workflow to the host example request??

  WF Gurus, I am using XOML only state workflow from ASP.NET client (WF 3.0). I need to pass output parameter to the host ASP page before WorkflowCompleted event executes. Can someone please provide a code example of how this could be done Thanks in advance, John Portnov Is your concern that if you change hosts, you can't use this model, but that it works for ASP.NET You can always provide a new implementation of the local service for each host that makes sense for that host. The workflow only knows about an interface. What is it that is triggering the passing of data If it is in the workflow, then using local communications is the easiest option. If HttpContext doesn't work for you, then use the call method shape an ...Show All

• leshan When will calling Release() after calling CoUninitialize() not result in an AV?

  (can you redirect me if this is not the right forum for this question) Should this sequence cause an AV I made the fairly common mistake highlighted in yellow, and fixed it, but I was surprised that it resulted in an AV only if COM had not been initialized on Thread A. I would like to understand why or why not I should expect an AV in this case. Thread A calls CoInitializeEx Thread A creates Thread B Thread B calls CoInitializeEx Thread B creates and uses some COM objects Thread B calls CoUninitialize Thread B releases COM objects <--Bug Thread A calls CoUninitialize Here is an answer from my colleague, Axel: “If both A and B are in an MTA, the CoInitializeE ...Show All
