• Software Development for Windows Vista Unable to create folder in C:\Windows\WinSXS in Vista OS

  Hi, I was checking compatibility of one of my MFC application in Vista OS. Usually if the MFC shared dlls are not present, i used to copy them in WinSXS under folder with the required folder name like x86_Microsoft.VC80.xxxx. (Installing VC++ Redist also didnt work in my case.) And this would make the application work perfectly. When i tried to do the same thing in Vista OS, it failed to create the folder. I removed the read only attributes and tried again but in vain. The error i am getting is "User didnt have enough permission to perform this task" but I logged in as Administrator. I tried to change the security attibutes of Administrator but could not find the Users under Computer Management. Is there any solution ...Show All

• Visual Studio Snippet indentation

  When inserting nested snippets in C#, tab or indentation depth is respected so that when, for example, inserting an "if" snippet inside another "if" snippet the second block is inserted to an increased tab depth e.g. : if ( true ) { if ( true ) { } } In the VS SDK example IronPython language service, if you have a snippet like : if $expression$: # indented line the snippet is always inserted as if the tab depth is 0, or, in other words, with the exact indentation given in the snippet, e.g. : if x: # indented line if x: # indented line If the tab depth had been extended correctly, this would instead be : if x: # indented line if x: # indented line Is there something that n ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SMS 2003 Admin Console Remote Control on Vista 5308?

  I have the SMS 2003 Admin Console (with Service Pack 2 applied) running on Vista build 5308, but I can not remote control a client.  I can connect to the site database just fine, see my collections, use the Resource Explorer and even make the initial Remote Tools connection OK via Port 2701.  But when I try to actually initiate the remote control, I get an error message that states "Cannot establish a security context with the client."  If I try again it prompts me for security credentials but nothing will work.  I have my firewall disabled while on the domain, so that isn't an issue.  LOL, I know I'm not supposed to be running Vista in production on my primary workstation, but it's running great with this being my ...Show All

• Windows Forms How to choose the execution thread for a delegate?

  Hello. I wonder how to choose a specific execution thread for a delegate. With "simple" async delegate calls, we just know it will run on some thread of the thread pool, but not on which one. Control.Invoke(...) method allow to get the delegate running on the GUI thread of the control. The BackgroundWorker component matches it, I don't know how, to get back to the "main" thread (in opposition to the worker thread), whithout a reference to a control. Is there any way I can do something similar to the BackgroundWorker component, choosing the executing thread for a delegate without reference to a control Thanks... ;) nobugz wrote: The IDE debugger and the &quo ...Show All
