• Visual Studio Team System Any hints of migrating 1.32 custom rules to work with 1.35?

  Is there anything i need to do to a 1.32 rules (besides compile it against .Net 2.0) to get it consumed correctly by FxCop 1.35 The rule compiles correctly, but when FxCop trys to load the rule i get the following error Unable to load rule assembly 'c:\program files\microsoft fxcop 1.35\Rules\MyCompany.FxCop.Rules.dll': Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information. It loads just fine in FxCop 1.32, on a different server, compiled against .Net 1.1. No offense taken. It has not been a stated goal to ship a stable public API the last 3 - 4 years. We're only now looking at this option for Orcas. So to suggest we're simply slow in getting ...Show All

• .NET Development Question about BinaryReader?

  when I call a function, say ReadSingle(), will BinaryReader read just 4 bytes from the file or it will read a large chunk of data from the file at a time and cache it and only return what I am asking I am trying to read/write a large file (50-->100MB) from/to a network drive. I am trying to find an optimal way to do it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, hdp. I'm sure it does, at a minimum the network driver would need a buffer to store the packets. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WebserviceInput and Enum in interface definition will not bind to properties

  I run into the followinf problem using a webserviceInput that implements an interface for me. The interface has the following prototype: public interface ITripApproval { ApprovalStatus ApproveTrip( string from, string to, int cost, TimeSpan duration, TripReason reason); void VoteTrip( string tripid, ApprovalStatus status); ApprovalStatus GetTripApprovalStatus( string tripid); } Now when I want to bind the ApproveTrip method to a webserviceInput activity I will see that it will let me bind the properties for the parameters from, to, cost and duration but the TripReason property will give me an dropdown box where I need to select the value from the enumeration. Now I don't want that parameter to get a fix ...Show All

• .NET Development Context.Session is Nothing after Server.Transfer

  Hi I am writing some HttpModule code to implement URL redirection, in order to remove querystrings from my URLs, so the search engines won't croak. The server.transfer works fine (in that it transfers me to the correct URL), but within the new page (the one being transferred to), 'context.session' is nothing. If I execute that same code by calling the URL directly (ie, without using the HttpModule to redirect), then context.session is fine. Here's the code for the HttpModule... ************** start of code ****************** Namespace MyNamespace Public Class HelperClass Implements IRequiresSessionState End Class Public Class HttpModule Implements IHttpModule Private m_application As HttpApplication Private ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista What is Windows SDK?

  Is that another name for MFC I wrote an MFC application several years ago, and back then, it was easy to get documentation on functions and methods in MFC. Nowadays, it is ridiculuously difficult. All I want is to be able to search for functions and classes in MFC. Why is Microsoft making this so difficult Short answer: to find the answer to questions about using MFC, or really for any Microsoft development technology, MSDN is your best place to look. MSDN has over 500,000 pages of documentation on development of all types. I found the MFC reference beginning here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d06h2x6e(VS.80).aspx The Windows SDK is a combination of the former Platform SDK (PSDK) and .NET ...Show All

• Visual C++ Using OLE automation to call another application

  I am using VS.NET 2005 to build a Windows Form Application (not MFC). I found a ACL editor program from codeproject.com which I want to incorporate in my application. It has two dll files, FilePermsBox.dll and FilePermsBox.Interop.dll In section "16. FilePermsBox API" of the article http://www.codeproject.com/win32/accessctrl4.asp , it was mention that the author has rewritten wrappers to allow the program to be called using OLE automation. I have little knowledge on OLE automation and hence I just tried adding FilePermsBox.Interop.dll as references. This allow me to compile the following code. array <String^>^ fCollection = gcnew array <String^, 1>{ "C:\test.txt" }; ManagedSecurityBoxWrapper::IManagedS ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Any chance of a Shared Source?

  For such a fundamentally awesome framework, I think a lot of people could benefit from seeing a sample implementation of it. Is there any chance of XNA (only the Windows version, of course) being made Shared Source Maybe, but I'm doubtful.. I think your best chance at getting a look at the source is running Dis# or any other MSIL disasambler over the framework.. I've never tried it myself, and I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't be too hapy if you did.. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Human Workflow Activity

  I am in process of developing my own human workflow activity by extending Activity base class. But there is one scenario that I am unable to solve. Let us suppose we have 2 different human steps in a workflow process, say step A and step B. The workflow gets routed to human step B after completion of human step A. Depending on some business rules I should be able to reactivate step a. How can I achieve this The default activity automaton does not allow an activity to be brough back to Execution status when it is already closed. Thanks for all the help in advance.
