• .NET Development How to create KeyContainer for access by Local System account

  1) I have an application that can be run by any user account and will be encrypting a file. As part of that process a KeyContainer will be created to save an RSA key that will be used to later decrypt the file. I have discovered that the KeyContainer is saved specific to the user account it is created with and this is problematic. 2) What I need is a ways to make the KeyContainer created in 1) available to the "Local System" account. This service will be required to decrypt the file created by the process in 1). Since this is not an ASP.NET application I am not sure how to accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks M.D.A I have tried the following to give permis ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlSerialization with Interfaces

  I'm trying to serialize a class that exposes a property as an interface. When I try to serialize the instance of the class the XmlSerializer throws an InvalidOperationException with the following message: {"Cannot serialize member SerializationTest.ParkingLot.MyCar of type SerializationTest.ICar because it is an interface."} This may seem like a silly question but is this true I've never ran into this before and I use interfaces pretty extensively in my designs. Can the .NET XmlSerializer not handle interfaces Thanks! Jeremy A few things which might help. First, I would try and do a "reader.Read()" at the very beginning of the Deserialization code. In the code above, it does a "GetType(.. ...Show All

• SQL Server Silly question about BIDS

  Hi guys, When you get an warning from, i.e, OleDb Destination you see an exclamation mark in yellow and then, when you move the mouse over you can't see never the whole message (If long) Is there any way to see the entire tooltiptext Thanks in advance and have a good weekend! Good question, When that happens to me I go to the advanced editor of the component, some time it shows up there. If you execute the package in debug mode; the warning will show up in the progress tab and in the logging table/file if logging is enable. But to be honest it would nicer if you could see it right in the tooltip Rafael Salas ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Control Scrollbar with keys

  Hi, I'm using windows mobile 5, and need to know if there is a way of to control the scroollbar in order to simulate a "page up" "page down" behaviour, with 2 keys How can i do this Thanks Nuno, If you just want to control the scroll bar, it's pretty easy. Create a scroll bar. In this case, name it: vSBVertical Make sure the Maximum is 100 and the minimum is 0. Then, use the KeyPress property of either your form or whatever control has focus to capture a keypress event. In this case, I am using my main form as the keypress event. So when I detect a keypress event I change the vSBVertical value by a factor of 10, although you can make it whatever you would l ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista State Machine Workflow with Parallel Workflows: How do I signal a particular state?

  Context I have a reasonably complex state machine workflow implemented (and it works).  Each of the 10 StateActivities in the root StateMachineWorkflowActivity has an EventDrivenActivity, HandleExternalEventActivity and SetStateActivity. In the client application, I've implemented an ExternalDataExchangeService local service and I can use it to signal the StateMachineWorkflowActivity to advance through each of the 10 states.  No problem. I now want to add a ParallelActivity to one StateActivity add parallel execution of some new StateActivities in the root StateMachineWorkflowActivity . Questions 1. What do I do in my ExternalDataExchangeService local service to signal a particular StateActivity/EventDri ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How do I open CSV using Excel without deleting leading zeros?

  Hello, Whenever I open up a CSV file or a Text file, Excel treats string like 05710 as a number and turn it into 5710. How do I open up a CSV file and still keep the leading zeros Thank you very much. Thank you very much. That sounds like a good idea because it skips the screen refresh slowness. Maybe I can create a Range object and then swap that with Cells. That will be so fast. ...Show All
