• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Just Signing or Encrypting the message.

  Hi Community, Did anyone try just signing the message Or Just encrypting the message Or Did any one try using two seperate keys for signing and encrypting e.g. I can have a seperate key for signing such as "CN=SignKey" and seperate key for encryption such as "CN=EncryptKey". Is it possible in WCF with minimum coding efforts If you have tried can you share your thought Can some one help me pointing to the right direction Thanks in advance. - Pankaj. Avanade Inc. Well, in other words, if you define a message contract on the service side with the right attributes (None, Sign, or SignAndEncrypt), the autogenerated proxy classes will also contain the same attributes. What do you mean with mu ...Show All

• Visual Basic Saving Decimal Values from Text Boxes

  I would like to 'save' a decimal value, entered by the user in a text box, to a field in the binary file. So I thought that's easy, just enter an statement like the following: Prod.W_Condition = CDec (Condition.Text.ToString) And that should do the trick. But apparently nothing is straight forward in Visual Basic. When entering a value such as 1234.56 in the text box, I have the value 123456 (without the decimal notation) being saved in W_Condition structure element. I tried a variety of type convertion such as declaring W_Condition as double and then using Cdbl as convertion function or using Parse.Decimal instead of CDec, but the program just seems to ignore the decimal point in the textbox (e.g Condition.Text) and I end u ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to see the actual compiler output?

  In writing a VS2005 program, the IDE put contains MSIL pseudo code. When the program is started, the JIT compiler creates the actual X86 code to be executed in pieces. If you are interested in looking at the actual product of the JIT compiler say for optimization puposes is there a way to look at this code With the Vs2005 Disassember I just wanted to clear up misstatements made by nobugz. There is no disassebly option in the debug menu. Insertion of a breakpoint in an assembly built in release mode, will generate a display in the callstack window. Selection of the top item on the displayed callstack, and subsquent right clicking will show a context menu and the fifth item down is Disassembly. ...Show All

• Windows Forms deploy activex via msi instead of cab

  I have a old ActiveX that we deploy via a .cab file from our website. However, one of our customers needs a MSI so they can do a remote deploy to their workstations. The current .cab file has a .inf file which stores the classid and information about the files to be deployed. I can add those files to my current vs2003 deployment project, but how do I assign those files the classID specified in the .inf file please advise -Smit. If you add the OCX to the setup&deployment project, then in the properties you can just set the property to vsdrfCOM and it will collect the registration entries into the MSI file to add them during the install. Does the inf file name any dependent Dlls that need to be installed A .dep file Choose the ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Strange bug rendering shadow map on Xbox 360

  I'm writing a 3D game in XNA at the moment, and had got shadows working on the PC version, when I tried running the same code on the Xbox 360 I found that my shadows we're working properly, I've been pulling my hair out for the past two days trying to figure out exactly what's been going wrong. I've finally found what the problem is, I'm using an R32F render target for the shadow, a format that the xbox claims is working, however the depth values I'm getting back are completely wrong on the Xbox version, they all seem to be almost zero (but not actually zero), if I try to set the depth manually to a fixed value, I always get back a number less than 0.0000576f unless I set the color to 1.0f when I get back 1.0f. If I use a default color sur ...Show All
