• Software Development for Windows Vista InfoCard and CardSpace Self Issued STS

  Hi, I would like to know how can my service communicates with the built-in Self Issued STS service when using CardSpace: do I still need to provide my WCF service with a certificate or can it work without Thanks, Amadrias Relying Party should identify itself and support secure communication otherwise client has no reasons to give away his identity. However, theoretically, client app can take the whole responsibility, itself request a security token and send it wherever it wants. In this case client app is actually a RP itself. But anyway I'm sure that Windows CardSpace card selector and its built-in STS will not issue a token without identifying the RP. ...Show All

• Visual Basic modify data, and update datagrid!

• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO assembly for multiple word document

  Hi All, In our application we generate multiple word documents and the user can preview one or more documents through the application. We attach a VSTO assembly to the word document when the user tries to preview/open a generated document. We currently are creating a new Winword.exe process using the code snippet as given below : objmoword = New Word.Application We then attach the VSTO assembly to the word document using the code snippet given below.We do not face any issues in attaching the VSTO assembly and it works fine.

• Visual C# save then clear event logs

  Hello, i'm a freshman on C#... currently, trying to save the eventlogs of Windows to specify location then clear it. how could i save the logs of system & application thanks for your assistance Richard Hi, As the EventLogEntry class implements ISerializable you can serialize your object into a binary object and save it to a file. The way to do it is the following one: 1) You must use: using System.Runtime.Serialization; using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary; 2) Create a binary formatter BinaryFormatter _BinaryFormatter; _BinaryFormatter = new BinaryFormatter (); 3) Optional (if you want to use a simple serialization so if your version cha ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating sql server table from dts

  I am trying to design a SSIS DTS package that imports an Excel named range (acts as a table) into a SQL Server 2005 database table. The direct import (using the import/export wizard) works fine, but I need to use a DTS package with a data transformation step. The DTS fails to create/replace/or update the SQL Server table. Suggestions Kirk, Thank you for the response. Your book will arrive tomorrow and I expect it to answer my many questions. I am trying to use the SQL Server 2005 SSIS designer to produce a package (SSIS or DTS ) to copy a named range (proxy for an Excel 'table') from a network drive; convert the data types to what I want on the SQL Server 2005 server; delete the database table if it alrea ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Question on an old 16-bit application

  We have a legacy 16-bit application that we still support. It was originally designed for Windows 3.1 (remember that ) and its architecture requires a "feature" of 16-bit DLLs where different applications could share the memory space of a common DLL. In the example, the central admin.dll stores the state of the logged in user to the application. Other "modules" can then call that DLL and read and update the state. This has worked all the way up to Windows XP. As we know, in the 32-bit world, and the more secure world of application programming, we wouldn't want to allow different applications to "borrow" the memory space of a DLL, so each application gets its own instance of the DLL, but it seems there was ...Show All

• .NET Development inheritance and overidden methods bug?

• Windows Live Developer Forums Bug? Pushpin text gets misplaced if pushpin located at the bottom of map

  Popup cloud gets misplaced when the pushpin located at the bottom of a map AND the browser window is smaller that the “height” value of the map’s DIV (there needs to be some space below the map’s DIV to reproduce the bug in IE). See the code sample to reproduce the bug. The code sample provides a map in a DIV with “height:500px” and some extra space below the DIV. There is a single pushpin in the very bottom of the map. If browser window height is bigger than 500 pixels then everything works fine. To reproduce the wrong behavior change your browser window height so that it is shorter than 500 pixels in height and scroll the content to the bottom of the page. Now, if you move your mouse over the pushpin the pushpin text appears way below th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Unable to Debug Unit Test

  Hello, I am relatively new to writing unit tests with VSTS and I have been unable to figure out how to get a test to run in Debug mode. I've set several breakpoints in the test and run it in debug mode, but none of the breakpoints gets hit - the test runs without stopping at a breakpoint. Is there a secret to getting this to work that I'm missing Thanks, Chuck Thanks for your response. I am starting a debug session the way the MSDN article suggests to start it, but the breakpoints aren't being hit. I think what is going on is when I attempt to run in debugging mode, the breakpoints are highlighted with an exclamation point that says: "The breakpoint will not currently be hit.
