• Windows Live Developer Forums Daily Usage of VE

  Hi, My company has been buying MWS transactions for the last year and a half. We switched some of our maps over to VE (perhaps prematurely) and we're worried that as we increase volume we may hit the 5000 per day limit. This would be devastating as it's not so easy to determine when we hit the 5000 limit (to trigger a revert to the old MWS maps). That said, our MWS transaction provider indicated that there's a "Savings Account" that we should pay into to ensure we're compilant with VE commercial usage. He also said that there's currently no way to increase daily usage above the 5000 per day limit. This could really hamper our growth as we've begun to merge our application with the VE maps (i.e. move functiona ...Show All

• Visual Basic Update isn't updating

  tattoo wrote: There is something very basic that I am missing here. When I change the data in a field it isn't getting updated back to the Access Db. I'm using Access 2000 and VB.Net 2003. To try and troubleshoot where I'm going wrong I have put together a very minor application and selected just one field from the Db table to update. Below is all the code I'm using. I've tried reading the forums and the MSDN help and I seem to get multiple, different descriptions on how to update but nothing is working. any help is appreciated.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) 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

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Model Position Problem

  I have this code that creates a model at the position of the mouse click but the model never shows up at that position. Maybe someone out there knows why the models seem to be offset. If I click in the top left corner of the screen, the model shows up in the center of the window.

• Visual Basic DXCore / Refactor! for VB. Upgrade causes problems.

  I just installed Refactor! for visual basic and it installed fine. Then I registered for the additional functionality and installed the additional "Refactor!Bonus-1.0.33.exe" that was provided. Everything worked fine until I noticed that the DXCore that Refactor! uses was out of date. Do I downloaded the 2.01 version of dxcore and installed it. Now Refector has stopped working and does not appear to be registered with visual studio at all. Has anybody else had this problem And if so how did you over come it, if you did. I would like to use Refactor! But I'd also like to be able to work with the most up to date version of DXCore. Any suggestions would be welcome. Ah ha! That's why it caused pr ...Show All

• .NET Development Using .NET component in VC++ code

  Hi All, I have created a .NET library which is used in a VC++ program, a simple dll (created by VC++ 6.0). For this I have used .tlb file created from my .NET library. #import "MyLib.dll" IMyLibPtr pIMyLib(__uuidof(MyLib)); http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconreferencingnettypesfromcom.asp For this my .NET dll should present on target machine and register.

• Visual Basic SendKeys from a Windows Service

  Hello All, I am having a problem sending keystrokes from a Windows Service Application. I added the <Assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers()> to the assembly file and referenced the System.Windows.Forms and imported in my service file (Imports System.Windows.Forms). There is a password field that pops up on the screen and is the only thing in focus that the following block writes to. I even tried this in a forms app and it worked like a charm, but for some reason the service is not accepting the Sendkeys. I narrowed down the block with the error by use of a logged entry: For i = 1 To passLenght skey = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(pass, i), 1) 'WriteToLogFile("Sending keys to sc ...Show All
