• .NET Development Can a WSE 3.0 client talk to a WSE 2.0 server

  I have developed a new client webservice using .net 2.0 so I had to upgrade to WSE 3.0 security. The webservice that I have been using is secured with WSE 2.0. Is it possible to encrypt and sign my usernameToken using 3.0 in a way that the 2.0 server will accept the message. I have had no luck so far and I am starting to think that is may not be possible. If anyone know how this can be done please advice. The code I used in my 2.0 clients to sucure the message follows: Dim token As New UsernameToken( "name" , "password" , PasswordOption.SendNone) Service.RequestSoapContext.Security.Tokens.Add(token) Service.RequestSoapContext.Security.Timestamp.TtlInSeconds = 60 'message signature Dim tokenKeys ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Help on AxHost.InvalidActiveXStateException

  Help!!! I am using VS Express and I got a form. I included a DLL, (SMSCCSDK.dll), in my project. It generated 2 dlls, AxInterop.SMSCCONNECTIVITYSDKLib.dll and Interop.SMSCCONNECTIVITYSDKLib.dll. When I am using any classes in Interop.SMSCCONNECTIVITYSDKLib.dll, it works fine, but when I am using AxInterop.SMSCCONNECTIVITYSDKLib.dll, it throws an exception, AxHost.InvalidActiveXStateException in the runtime. I can't figure out where the problem lies. Please help.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Putting a hole in a sprite

  Hi all I am currently wondering how I could put a hole through a sprite "on the fly" during gameplay, such that the background behind will show through Some sort of blending, or combination in the spritebatch class I suppose, but I havn't yet worked out how. Any suggestions Chris J. Actually, recently I've made an example on exactly what you described. Here it is: http://www.hot.ee/qstorage/AlphaTest2.rar There are 2 different ways to do that: 1. With the separate mask file (you apply a predefined masking texture to another texture). The advantage of this method is that you can make a hole of any shape (just edit the mask file). 2. Without the mask texture, just using some s ...Show All

• Visual Basic collection vs. array

  hello, what is the difference between a collection and an array i know array well, but don't have a clear picture on what a collection is. i've only heard that it comes from OOP. thanks. Hi, I think a collection can have items ( objects ) of more than one type in them in the similiar way that a STRUCTURE or a CLASS can. Another thing as well is an ArrayList.

• Visual Studio Team System Hi, could i catch the "return null" statment in the code

  Hi All: I want to create a Rule, the detail is: "if you declare a method, when the return type is Array, String or Collections, you should not explicit return null in the code, otherwise, some unpredictable result maybe will happen." For example: A method like: public int[] tryMethod() { return null; } the method violates the rule, because the method's return type is Array, but in the code, it explicitly returns null in the code. My question is: could i get the "return null" in the IL code by view the IL instruction. I had tried to get it, but i only get the "ret" instruction, i couldn't get the real return value, so could help me to find it, I'll be very g ...Show All

• Windows Forms User control - The constructor should not run in design time

  Hi, I am trying to make a user control that consist in a combobox with a certain table. The constructor loads the combo with a table with a dataset that is defined at run time. So, when I put the control at a Windows form I have an error because there is not dataset defined at this moment. The solution : the constructor must run only at runtime. Is it possible Thanks in advance. Hi, you could check the DesignMode property to check whether control is in design mode or running: if (!DesignMode) { // fill dataset } However, putting such code in constructor isn't a very good idea; you should try to expose a separate method for filling the dataset, which you'd call ...Show All

• SQL Server Question for creation the user defined data type easily like mysql

  Hello, I cannot find out to create enum data type in SQL Server 2005 Express. Can I easily create the enum type just like the MySQL does.(please the MySQL example below) CREATE TABLE myTable ( myid INT UNSIGNED NOT NULL, myclass ENUM('FIRST','SECOND','THIRD') DEFAULT 'FIRST' PRIMARY KEY(myid) ); The ways to do this are either with another related table, if you want the ENUM to actually be numbers (like an ENUM in a functional language) which I would suggest against. (I don't know anything about MySQL...) But if it is character data you are after, use a check constraint: CREATE TABLE myTable ( myid INT NOT NULL, myclass varchar(6) CHECK (myClass in ('FIRST','SECOND','THIRD')) DEFAULT 'FIRST' PRIMARY KEY(myid) ); Also, th ...Show All

• Visual Studio VC++ 2003 Code Model not returning certain functions - please help!

  I am using Visual Studio .NET 2003 and writing an add-in to the IDE. I am writing in C++ and am experiencing difficulties with the following problem: Certain functions are not being returned by the VC code model in it's code elements collection. =============== Here is my understanding of how this all works. The development environment (DTE) is described with a Code Model. This is similar to my previous work where I was working with XML documents described with a Document Object Model (DOM). The Code Model describes structures that are commonly seen in source code. This would be classes, functions, variables, parameters, enumerations, structures, and more. The DOM equivalent would be words, paragraphs, sections, chapters, titles, and more ...Show All
