• Visual Studio Express Editions Classic ASP with VWD: why is JScript default language?

  Hi all, Thankfully, I can use Visual Web Developer to edit Classic ASP scripts. But there's an annoying problem I'd like a solution for!... As long as I have the "@LANGUAGE=VBSCRIPT" directive at the top of a page, it will correctly format VBScript scripts (keywords in blue, comments in green, strings in red, full intellisense for functions etc.). However, I have to use multiple Include files for each full page, which means not all page chunks can have the @LANGUAGE directive at the top. Here's the problem. Without the @LANGUAGE directive, VWD assumes the default scripting language to be JSCRIPT , and formats all script blocks accordingly. How do I change VWD's default scripting language to VBScript This may be wh ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Binding TextElement.FontWeightProperty of TextRange to a ToggleButton

  Hi, I am trying to bind the TextElement.FontWeightProperty of a TextRange to a ToggleButton which can used to display and also setting/unsetting the FontWeight of the selected text to FontWeights.Bold. But I am unable to figure out how to do this binding, since the FontWeightProperty is not directly on the TextRange object. Would appreciate any useful suggestions on this.

• SQL Server Is there a way to 'peek' the items in a queue?

  ... or some other way to prolong their presence on the queue. The scenario I'm dealing with requires me to receive a batch of messages and fire them off (as a batch) to a legacy Unix application via TCP. What I need to do is keep those messages on the queue (or at least somewhere else in the database) until I know for certain that the legacy app has received them. Comments Remus: >> I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 'events that signal the closing of a conversation'. EndDialog is a message rather than an event -- in other words, if there are already 50 messages in the queue when the sender ends the dialog, the receiver can't really find this out until it's read all the prece ...Show All

• Visual C# VS2005 Installs, Compiles, Doesn't run simple C# programs

  I've installed VS2005. It installed fine, and if I do a new C# windows project, it will apparently compile it. If I try running that program, it does nothing.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Any limit on Encryption Key length allowed for export from the US?

  I am trying to secure a web service that can be deployed to customers in US and other countries. If I were to use a long encryption key (e.g. 256 bits) to secure the message exchanged with the web service, can such web service be freely exported from the US If not, what is the maximum encryption key length that can be exported from the US Thank you. Microsoft maintains cryptographic export information on its products at http://www.microsoft.com/exporting/  but there's no listing for .NET 3.0 yet.  I'm investigating when there will be a listing for .NET 3.0; stay tuned.
