• Visual Studio Team System TeamFoundationServer.EnsureAuthenticated() appears to hang in ASP.NET app

  I have the following code in the code-behind C# file of an ASP.NET application: TeamFoundationServer tfs = TeamFoundationServerFactory.GetServer(m_strTeamSystemServer, new UICredentialsProvider(); tfs.EnsureAuthenticated(); Works fine when in my development environment inside the Visual Studio solution. Well, the connection to tfs works anyway. I don't get prompted for credentials. The problem is when I copy the website to my deployment environment. When tfs.EnsureAuthenticated(); is called, the site just "hangs". It sits there in a loading state (this code is called in my Page_Load) forever, or at least until I got tired of waiting (5 minutes or so). Any ideas what could be the problem here Why don't I get a crede ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Installation of NetCFv2.wce5.amr4i.cab was unsuccessful

  I am using palm treo 750. My client has the same.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Synchronized "raise event" for a state worfklow

  I have a state activity with a self implemented generic event service to raise a event for a custom IEventActivity within the state activity. On state initialization there is an activity which sets the possible responsibles for the state. After that a GenericEventService.RaiseEvent should be possible for the evaluated responsibles. That means the RaiseEvent method has to wait till the state initialization has completed and the IEventActivity.Subscribe method is called to enqueue the item. I have used the WorkflowIdle-event to perform the synchronisation, but this event is not called everytime( ) I assumed that the following events are raised on loading an instance: 1) loaded 2) idled (but it's only called if an execution is already q ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Keys enum, Unicode

• SQL Server sp_helprotect error if no matching rows

  Why does sp_helprotect throw an error if there are no special security permissions for a specified @username   Why not simply return a blank resultset   This makes the procedure a hassle to use when trying to capture results into a table as part of another stored procedure (use it for auditing). [Edited]The same problem occurs when I execute xp_logininfo to get the list of members for a group that has no members.  Instead of just passing back some sort of status, the procedure blows up and keeps me from scripting the procedure. Am I just missing something Brandon This is good to know. We are only just starting to use SQL 2005. In fact, I accidentally posted my question here instead ...Show All

• Visual Studio Wrong Icon Pixel

  I am working for a software company and we use Microsoft Visual Studio to edit all of our dialogs. In our dialogs, we have icons that are displayed as 16x16 pixels in the actual software, but in Microsoft Visual Studio, they are displayed as 32x32. The difference in pixels is a big annoyance as it is very difficult to position the icons when editing under Visual Studio b/c the actual size of the icon will be much different when it is launched in the software. The work around that we came up with is to create a new image type as 32x32 (the original icon is listed as 16x16 in Visual Studio). We then copy the original icon and paste it into the new 32x32 image type. There are a few limitations in this work around and we have thousands of icon ...Show All

• SQL Server Touble with text being truncated

  I am trying to send a large string to my table where I have typed the field as "text". The data is truncated ( I am only sending about 5kb and it is being truncated to about 4kb). I am using SQL 2000. My web page is classic.asp and I am sending a parameterized query to my stored procedure. This is the relevelant code for the parameter I'm sending: objCmd.Parameters.Append = objCmd.CreateParameter("@PostBody",adLongVarChar,adParamInput,20000,PostBody) This is the typing in my stored proc: @PostBody text, I can either INSERT or UPDATE using Query Analyzer and the data is NOT truncated.

• Visual FoxPro password on my table

  can i put password on my table >> can i put password on my table Not directly, but if you are using VFP 7.0 or later you can enable DBC Events (see the Help File for details) and you can then use the DBC_BeforeOpenTables event. There are examples in Solution.APP that ships with all versions of VFP too that show how you can use this. However this will not someone opening the table with an application that by-passes VFP altogether (like a free downloadable DBF Editor/Viewer that anyone can get from the internet hackers). If you are still using VFP 6.0 there is no built-in security mechanism (those were just safer days I guess). What exactly is the issue you are trying to solve here ...Show All
