• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio user account requirements

  I see by the install doc that a domain VS installation requires 3 domain user accounts. As a security administrator this concerns me since we are always fighting to reduce the number of generic or service accounts. Can the TFSSERVICE account be substituted with the built in NETWORK SERVICE account instead Is the TFSSETUP account required beyond the installation period, or can another domain account with admin priviliges on the server be used instead I am running into other VS installations in my company and they have already created 3 service accounts each. It seems redundant that each time someone installs this on our domain I need to create 3 new service accounts. Currently you can not use NE ...Show All

• Visual Studio When a VS Service Doesn't Exist

  I am developing a package and am new to VS Extensibility. I understand that communication between VS packages is done through services. I've been scouring the SDK documentation and it seems that the service I'm looking for doesn't provide the interfaces that I need. My question: Does this mean I must obtain interfaces through COM instances and interop namespaces Thank you. JJ Hi Ed, I've been impressed with the VS SDK and I have no doubt the Debugging SDK will be improved soon. Here's a description of what I'm trying to achieve, including the equivalent Win32 functions which I've used to achieve this with the native debugger Set and store a thread context. I need to be able to perform the following s ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Operator network information

  Hi! I'm quite new in WM5 development and want to know if it is possible to retrieve operator-network information like the network the PPC/SP is connected to and in which cell it currently resides. Secondly I would like to have information about the signal-strength of the network. I tried to find information about this in the SDK and MSDN, but can't find it. F.i. on the Symbian platform the above is possible. Is this also possible in WM5/PPC2003 and if so, how Thanks in advance and best regards, Harreld.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Child form behavior while maximized

  I dont understand why does maximized child form add " caption bar" between the MDI form's caption and the MenuStrip on the MDI form What is the purpose of this "caption bar" Is this a design fault, and can it be removed This wasnt the behaviour of child forms in before .NET visual studios. I find that most people would want to have a child form whose max, min and close buttons are in line with the MDI form's Menu, and without the control box on the left side. Can this be achieved Goran Not sure what you mean: the .NET MDI interface appears to be the same as every other application. It sounds like the (child) form isn't actually maximized. ...Show All

• .NET Development SMTP Windows Authentication in System.Net.MailMessage

  In .Net 1.1 the System.Web.MailMessage class had a property called Fields where I can add properties for authentication E.g //Windows Authentication. mail.Fields.Add("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/smtpauthenticate", "2"); In .Net 2.0 this class has been deprecated and System.Net.MailMessage should be used instead. But it seems they have removed this Fields property. So now how can I send mail via an authenticated smtp server Thanks :: Karthik :: If by authentication field you mean the user credentials needed to access the SMTP server then you should use the Credentials property of the SmtpClient class. If you are using Windows authentication then setting UseDefaultCredentials to true ...Show All

• Windows Forms Empty space in DataAdapters returned values

  When I display DataAdapters returned values in some control (eg TextBox, DataGridView, ...) empty space is added at the and of every returned value. Eg. if the database field is 10 chars long, and value stored in it is 7 chars long (eg. 'HELLO'), returned value is 'HELLO '. Is there any easy way to solve this problem I've solved this with added RTRIM functions in DataAdapters Select, Insert and Update command RTRIM but I'm very disappointed at Microsoft about something like this. This problem is even shown in SQL Manager Studio (of course they use their own controls :) Hi, This might be because you set the data type of the database columns to char (character) or nchar (unicode). These are fixed lengh ...Show All

• .NET Development Unmanaged to managed callback through wrapper: this works but is it good?

    I implemented callback in mixed mode the following way and it works fine but I wonder if this is the right way to do it. In particular, is this 100% safe I mean could there be some obscure GC/CLR "event" that would make it crash at some point, for instance should not I be using pin pointers It works this way: a delegate is declared in C# and used as argument to the setCallBack() function of a C++ .net wrapper. This function casts this pointer and use it to initialize the callBack pointer value in an unmanaged C++ class (it also keeps its value so the Wrapper can also call the callback). The C++ .net wrapper is shown below: public ref class WrapperClass { public : delegate int CallbackType(); ...Show All
