• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dual Factor Service Authentication

  Hi, What I would like to do is to establish "dual factor" authentication for a service. Basically, I want to ensure that the machine certificate and an appropriate username/password is supplied to the service in order to construct the appropriate claims. I've been toying around with various configuration file entries, and I can't seem to find the appropriate set of bindings to make this work. In these cases, the clients are presenting these items to the STS which is issuing the appropriate claims which are verified at the receiving service. There are two scenarios that need to be handled: 1) Utilize current Windows Login information along with the machine certificate 2) Utilize custom username/password along with the ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to See custom properties of CustomColumn in Editor window

  Hi, i'm trying to write a custom column to display text and image both. Image will also be clickable to use as a button.

• .NET Development Achieving IIS type of isolation

  Hi, I was wondering the following: ASP.NET applications that run in IIS usually can't do any damage to the hosting machine (deleting files outside of the security context, shutting down the machine, etc.). I need something similar as I have an application where users can send code snippets to it, the process runtime compiles and executes it. For various reasons I can't host this application within IIS. Anybody has some ideas how I could achieve something like this Thanks, Tom Thanks, that's interesting, I didn't know that. How could I for example permit IO access to a certain directory only Thanks, Tom ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2005 Performance issues

  I have a server running Dual 1.8GHz processors, 4GB RAM and two 146GB 10K drives (RAID 1) and I am getting terrible performance using VS. I am trying to figure out if it is an I/O issue, RAM, RAID, or VS issue. I read a thread that suggested I defragment the drives since I didn't do that after the VS installation. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. We are running two VHD's on the server. All running Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise and VS is 2005 R2 Enterprise. Thanks, JB lol I see, well this is a Visual Studio/software development forum and not Virtual Server :-) the best place to ask would be over at the appropriate newsgroups: www.microsoft.com/communities Thanks! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System "Generating list of changesets and updating work items" taking extraordinarily long

  I'm having a problem with the "Generating list of changesets and updating work items" part of the Team Build taking an extremely long time even when there are very few changes in a build. In one build the step took over 2 hours before I cancelled the build, I've been waiting 30 minutes so far on the current build. Any suggestions I had the same experience the first several times I was building our largest solution. After the first successful build, the build server started only showing differences and things went much faster. That said, it did seem like it took an unusually large amount of time to find the 3000 or so changesets that went into the first build. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Method for animating rumble on CodePlex

  Hello everyone. First, thanks to everybody who is contributing to the community. You guys are awesome! I wrote some code to animate the vibration of the rumble motors. I hadn't seen this topic come up at all and after playing a really great XNA game that had really bad rumble (either fully on or fully off) I figured it wouldn't hurt to put it up. http://www.codeplex.com/acres The first release has a Windows game project demonstrating a few different rumble animations when you press the various face buttons. I'm really curious to know how people handle controller vibration in their games. Is it an afterthought Do you handle its procedurally or through predefined settings Hi, On a title we did for Xbox we used to feed audio wave f ...Show All
