• ddstevens VS2005 Extensions for NetFx3

  Hi Is there , I am currently running VS2005 Team Suite for developers on Vista RC2 and have installed the VS Extensions for .Net3. All good so far. Are there plans to update the extensions pack once the RTM of Vista is released main stream, will it be intergrated within VS2005 Sp1 Hi Jason, Currently, the VS 2005 extensions for .Net 3.0 (the zaml/avalon stuff) isn't slated for inclusion until the next release of VS, sometime next year. It's my understanding that the service pack for VS 2005 is mainly a roll up of hotfixes. We won't see the new designers targeting .Net 3.0 (aside from the preview stuff), until the next release of VS (code named Orcas). Sincerely, I don't think so. ...Show All

• best49erfan Prevent outlook from closing or user from changing a item

  Hi again! Im having some troubles on outlook add-ins. Does anyone knows how to: Detect that outlook is closing and ask the user if he really wants to close outlook while the add-in is performing some action (example: sending data or receiving from a server).

• shimshon Setting inner exception for FaultException

  It seems that it is recommended that a WCF application throw a FaultException. My question is that if I catch an Exception how do I construct a FaultException so that the inner exception is populated Basically I have something like: catch(Exception ex) { throw new FaultException . . . . } If you really want to pass exception detail information from the server to the client, there are two general strategies you can use. First, you can use includeExceptionDetailInFaults: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/system.servicemodel.description.servicedebugbehavior.includeexceptiondetailinfaults.aspx Then all exceptions will propogate to the client. But please see the cautionary note about passing ...Show All

• Liston Mapping both base and inherited objectqueries in objectcontext

  Hi! I'm experimenting some scenarios with Orcas october ctp. I would like to build an objectcontext with both base and inherited objectqueries. Example: I have two entities, Person, and Customer, which "is a" Person. Each entity has a table. Person has an Id, Customer a primary foreign key PersonId. These are the mapping files. These work without Customers EntitySet in csdl and corrisponding EntitySetMapping in MSL.   MSL: <Mapping xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:windows:storage:mapping:CS" xmlns:edm="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:windows:storage:mapping:CS" edm:Space="C-S">   <Alias edm:Key="C" edm:Value="ShopLib" />   <Alias edm:Key="S" edm:Value="ShopLib.Target" />   <EntityCo ...Show All

  I began debugging one of my forms today and received a strange error message.

• Tareq Ismail crystal reports execute slow when run the first time in VB 2005 application

  I have developed a VB.net 2005 application with Crystal Reports. When i run the .exe application the first time & run a report, the report takes a considerable amount of time to execute on screen.

• daimaku Problems in a team using same Project File.

  Hi all, I am relatively new to Sourcesafe, but have been using it for a couple of months now, and have noticed an issue that is setting us back a little. The scenario is as follows... We have four developers each working on the same project. We all have the latest version of the solution of our project from SourceSafe, and each decide to get on with our assigned work, which includes adding new Items to the Solution (such as Forms).

But this will thrown an error now as the Project file is referencing the Item that my colleague created, but which isn't checked in as it ...Show All

• SAD1 Deserializing A SAML Token Received From An STS?

  Having received an RST message, an STS serializes a SAML token into the body of the RSTR message returned to the client. In that the RST and RSTR support was pulled from WCF, it would appear that the SAML token need be deserialized on the client side for caching and reuse. Documentation concerning the SamlSerializer, SecurityTokenResolver, WSSecurityTokenSerializer and SecurityContextSecurityTokenResolver classes is sparse, however, and attempts to do so consistenty result in: "The SecurityKeyIdentifier that was found in the SamlSubject cannot be resolved to a SecurityToken. The SecurityTokenResolver must contain a SecurityToken that the SecurityKeyIdentifier resolves to." Little seems to have been written concerning th ...Show All

• JamesPMiller "Requested Clipboard operation did not succeed"

  I am copying and pasting rtf into word through automation and occasionally i will get the error "Requested Clipboard operation did not succeed". Usually when this happens the only fix to get it to work again is to close word and reopen it, or sometimes i have to completely reboot. Any idea what causes this issue, or anyway around it without using the clipboard besides writing to a file and inserting into the document. I really don't want to touch the disk due to performance reasons, as there may be hundreds or thousands of generated small rtf pieces to insert into various places. I'm running into this same message in my VSTO automation project. The system works flawlessly on my test serv ...Show All
