  Hi, I get the following error trying to compile a CF 1.0 targeted application in VS2005: Error 14 Localization of projects targeting .NET Compact Framework 1.0 requires version 1.1 of the .NET Framework SDK, which is not detected on this machine.

• Visual C# ApplySortCore for BindingList

  I have used the SortableBindingList in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnforms/html/winforms02182005.asp to implment the sorting and would like to know how to find out the sorting status ascending or descending from this class. Because it seems that whenever I click on a header it calls the method ApplySortCore with the parameters PropertyDescriptor property and ListSortDirection direction with the direction always set as Ascending. Thus how do I check the status of previous sorting so that I can do an alternate sort direction each time a header is clicked. There is a ListSortDirection SortDirection { get; } to find out the status but not sure how to use it.Thanks Regards Alu I dont think ...Show All

• Visual Basic Connection String ISSUES ..URGENT

  Currently I am developing a advanced VB 2005 application which Display’s/ Updates / (Creates New ) data in the database. For this purpose I am using databound controls, i.e. all my datagrids, textboxes etc.. are directly linked to the database. Initially I was using My.Settings.Con ,( where Con being the connection string in the app.config file) to reference the connection string used by these table adapters. Now the problem is that, due to a sudden change is requirement, I need to add in multiple connection strings ( i.e give users the option to connect to different databases during application start up ) . Since all these databases have the same table name and underlying structure I don’t need to change my p ...Show All

• Windows Forms How if I want to run application right after the setup winzard finished

  Hi! All: I'm using .NET deployment Project to pack my application(with C#), and here's the situation: I want some options for user to choose (one is run application immediately or open readme after installation) before this installation completed. I add a Checkbox dialog at the End Node , and then add the custom action (override the commit method for both/ either one situation as above).

The file/application work right before the installation winzard finished (coz the Commit action seems has been finished before the final dialogbox at the End Node ,). How can I solve those problems or any suggestions ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Distributed Transaction problem

  Hi, I'm having problems getting transactions to work correctly in a state machine workflow. Within the TransactionScope activity I have a Code activity that does a couple of database writes, another Code activity that sends out a notification email, and a SetState activity, which I want to be executed only if the rest of the code executes correctly. The WF runtime and DB are hosted on different servers. After fixing a "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions" error by enabling the MSDTC stuff on both machines, I'm now getting a new error: "The transaction has already been implicitly or explicitly committed or aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004D00E)" A ...Show All

• SQL Server What is necessary to create SDF-Files on desktop legally?

  I want to write a PC application that prepares a SQL Server Mobile Files (.SDF) and sends it to a PocketPC. I get this error message: "SQL Mobile usage is restricted on this platform. To use SQL Mobile, you must install SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio 2005, or the Tablet PC SKU" If I install "SQL Server 2005 Express" the error message disappears and everything works fine. Question: Is it allowed to create SDF-Files if "SQL Server 2005 Express" is installed or is it necessary that my customers buy "SQL Server 2005" It's faster, easer to use, requires little coding on your part and works over HTTP so it can go through firewalls and your SQL Server is not exposed. But, sure, you can use SQL Cli ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dual Factor Service Authentication

  Hi, What I would like to do is to establish "dual factor" authentication for a service. Basically, I want to ensure that the machine certificate and an appropriate username/password is supplied to the service in order to construct the appropriate claims. I've been toying around with various configuration file entries, and I can't seem to find the appropriate set of bindings to make this work. In these cases, the clients are presenting these items to the STS which is issuing the appropriate claims which are verified at the receiving service. There are two scenarios that need to be handled: 1) Utilize current Windows Login information along with the machine certificate 2) Utilize custom username/password along with the ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Migration Support?

  Hi, I have recently been looking through Linq and I've got to say how impressed I am so far. I was recently considering using ruby on rails for a number of projects due to its active record implementation, but this will allow similar benefits in .net. Does any one know of any plans to include ideas such as rails' migration into .net and possibly the Linq project so that database versions can be updated and downgraded using commands and thus making it easier to work with multiple versions. That is a wonderful idea. I haven't seen one around but a nice project to think about indeed. I am curious to see if anyone has seen anything similar. Thanks. Dinesh ...Show All
