• Windows Forms How can I make update version for application which was signed with certificate now expired?

  If I change expired code signing certificate to new one and publish updated application, client will fail to launch. And code signing fails if I try to use expired certificate. How can I make update version for application signed with old certificate If your certificate has expired you need to renew the certificate from Certificate authority like Verisign or say your company has a Certificate server. The new certifcate must have the same public/private key pair as the original certificate which was expired. Is this even possible when using a commercial CA like Verisign I've renewed Verisign code signing certificates many times and the process has always involved generating a new key pair.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Automatically enter Text from one Text box to another as you type.

  I would like to setup a Text Box that pulls the Textbox.text from 2 separte text boxes and then displays them in this textbox. For Example... TextBox1.Text = "Jimmy" TextBox2.Text = "Taylor" TextBox3.Text = "Jimmy Taylor" But the kicker is I want it to add the "J" in TextBox3 as I type it in TextBox1 ect. I tried a number of places but I am not sure how to describe this and I am not coming up with very good examples. Thanks in advance for any help. Form1 is not the form where the create button is. that form is called CreationProfile... Either way I believe that I see where you are going. My Dynamic form does not exist as a class only as a variable and no other classe ...Show All

• Windows Forms User Settings not upgrading in ClickOnce

  So, here's the situation.  Some code I am currently maintaining has two separate implementations of user settings.  We have a class that extends ApplicationSettingsBase in addition to the standard Properties.Settings which is defined through the settings tool in VS2005. The problem is that the settings currently stored in the ApplicationSettingsBase class are being upgraded automatically through ClickOnce, but the settings in Properties.Settings are not being persisted between versions. I am unsure why the original developer implemented both.  I realize the short answer is to move those settings to the custom class that I need upgraded, but why aren't the other settings being upgraded   Thanks. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Organizing a large project ..

  I have a VC2005 Pro C++ project, which consist of a few solutions : Main solution is: MAIN_PROGRAM and other solutions are : STATIC_LIBS with projects: common_static_lib_1 common_static_lib_2 ...

• SQL Server Corruption of backup file on remote server

  Dear all, What I want to do is to backup my database through the SQL script, when the backup is successful, the .bak file is saved in my local harddisk. After that, I used the XYRunProc to execute a "copy" command to copy the .bak file to a remote server. However, when I want to restore the database using the .bak on the remote server, I found that the .bak is corrupted. This problem does not exist if the file is copied to the remote server manually (click copy on local server and click paste on remote server). Do anyone know what's the problem of this This really made me very frustrated. Hope someone can help me, thank you very much! Regards, Strike Hi Strike, XYRunProc is an ext ...Show All

• Community Chat Convert Money value to its Textual Representation

  Code Competition I had answered a post Convert to letter format a number value and provided a response that went counter to the logic of the threads up to that point. The two code examples provided to the poster used enums. I posted with a title Enums make me E-Numb and provided a code sample that use no enumerations. One of the other poster's code sample was .Net but based on a previous process he had written in a non .Net language. He commented that he had run my sample and after 100K operations mine was four second faster. He requested that I add some features to the code and repost so he could retest. I accepted his request and that is what this is...a place to post the code away from the original post so it does not become an OTP fro ...Show All
