• .NET Development Using "unique" with "field xpath=" value being variable instead of fixed

  Hi, I have a case where my "unique" identifier field name (in an xsd) can take on different values (based on another value in the xml). My case is validating people--which can either be identified by a Social Security Number or a UniqueId. I’d like the xsd to validate based on the SSN or UniqueId specified in the xml. HERE'S THE "FIXED" CASE (which works fine for validating against a fixed field name – SSN in this case): For a "fixed" case (where only SSN is the unique value): [xsd fragment] <xs:unique name="ProfileUnique"> <xs:selector xpath="Profiles/Profile"/> <xs:field xpath="Ssn"/> </xs:unique> ...Show All

• .NET Development IsolatedStorageFile and application scope

  Hi, I want to start some data that my desktop application uses, the data is application specific and not user specific. I thought it would be a good idea to use IsolatedStorage but it appears that this isn't quite as simple as first though. Ideally I thought I could use IsolatedStorage.GetMachineStoreForApplication(), but this only works when the app is deployed using click once, which I am not using. GetUserStore... is too user specific, i.e. I need it application wide. Is isolated storeage capable of doing what I need If so, what scope can I use. Regards Graham ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista WaitForSingleObject alwasy Object_0

  I have a case where my WaitForSingleObject is used by the root thread and Some other thread started by this root thread signals the Event object which WaitForSingleObject is waiting for. But the WaitForSingleObject seems always signaled regardles of the SetEvent function of the child thread. I have tried Manual or Auto Reset and the case is always the same and my Event is started as Non-signaled. Ye that might also be the case. But because this is the design of a Core Component I rather wanted to use dynamic names because in the future those names might be useful for some kind of Event check from other programs. Because I once realised that same named Events are accessed from also different processes. So I think might use this la ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Add application-tier to an existing Database-tier

  Hi I have an existing TFS using two servers. one with SQL used and database tier and another one for application tier. My question is: How can I install the application tier on the server with the existing database tier (I want to later configure it as a warm standby). Installation won't go because it recognises the installed database tier. I do not want to uninstall the database and reinstall them both (db and app). thanks In the installation guide you have instructions for it, under the Dual server installation optios you have another section for continuos server avaliability, chec out this two sections: Checklist: Standby Application-Tier Configuration How to: Configure an Application ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VS2005 crashes on Get latest version for multiple projects solution

  When getting the latest version of all files in a solution the Visual Studio IDE dies, no error message and nothing is written to the event log. If I use the "Get lastest version"- command per project it works fine but if I select the solution level I'm screwed. When restarting the IDE and running the "Get lastest version"- command again it works. Any ideas By your description it does look like something different. Sure, there is SP1 for VS 2005 and SP1 for TFS - but if I were you I'd investigate before. Also, you may try to enable tracing on TFS server and see what calls are performed. That may give you a direction. For tracing see the following link . Hope that give ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using the Simple STS - Managed Card

  I’m following the sample/document ‘Using the Simple STS’ and running into an issue. It’s probably something very basic that I have missed but I don’t seem to be able to figure it out. In a summary when I try to run the managed card scenario, I get the error ‘Identity provider end point was not found’ in the event log. This is what I have done. Upgraded the machine to have IE7, Cardspace etc. Downloaded and unzipped the latest ‘Simple STS example’ (with the 2 errata fixed). Made the change to handle the errata mentioned by SoftwareMaker (commenting out extra claims). Ran the install script to set up websites, certs etc. Compiled the SecurityTokenServer.csproj to get the SecurityToke ...Show All

• SQL Server Backup Software

  Hi We are getting ready to rollout a new system in the next few months and I have started to look at backup and recovery strategies for SQL Server 2005 on which this new system will be housed. The proposal is to by Veritas Backup Exec with the server this system will be housed on however my knowledge is "limited" to the backup and restore options available directly from SQL. I have been unable to find any opinion on using third party software to backup and restore SQL Server 2005 databases. Can anyone help to give me an objective opinion on this subject. Should I simply use SQL Server and the tools it ships with or do these third-party applications make it easier Many thanks in advance of your help Cheers Danny ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can this be done?

  Hi, i have 2 pictureboxes 'A' and 'B', 'A' is a black rectangle box and 'B' is a blue circle. How do i make 'B' overlap 'A' and only the circle is show in the rectangle box without the picturebox blocking out the other details Thanks. I am not sure I fully understood your question, but it seems to boil down to creating a custom transparent control. You won't be able to do this using a regular control, as transparency is not really supported by the controls, but you can easily create your own custom control and either assign a region to it or make it transparent. There is a nice example here of the latter. HTH --mc ...Show All
