Any comments, ideas May be I have a conflict with ActiveSync It attempted to do Sync over the COM at the beginning but failed because there is no ActiveSync on the PC. TIA.

• SQL Server Data Base Mirroring in SQL server 2005 Express Edition

• SQL Server Reporting Services in SQL Server Express

• .NET Development WSE3.0 - Securing .net webservice using REL token

  Hi, I want to secure my wbeservice using REL token. I tried on net for same but coouldn't find any practical example for this. Can anybody give me the sample code for this Thanks in advace -Faby Faby, I could never find a WSE implementation for REL nor SAML tokens. WSE comes by default with UsernameToken, X509Token and KerberosToken implementations that was enough for me so I didn't even try to implement the REL token. I think the only thing you will find as help is looking at some others "custom" tokens implementations in WSE (just google it).

• Visual Studio Team System Can TFSBuild run different targets the way MSBuild can

  I am new to TFSBuild and now have a basic, automated build working for my project. The next step is to be able to add a couple of targets to the project file and run those at different schedules. It may be that one of the targets builds the project in Debug mode and the other builds it in Release mode. In MSBuild, I could do this by adding the "/t:" switch, followed by the name of the Target. Can I do this with TFSBuild Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree and would be better to create more Build Types. My set up is that I have Team VSS on one server and a seperate Build Server with Team Services installed. Thanks in advance for your help, Gordon You'll need to manually ed ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Errors in winnt.h file using visual c++ 2005 express edition and mar. 15 sdk

  Hello. I get the following errors when I try to include winnt.h in my code. I tried using the newest sdk as well as the previous release, and both files seem to generate the same errors. This must be a common problem, but I haven't seen the answer. I'm including stdio.h, xlcall.h, windef.h and winnt.h in my code. Maybe I need to include another header.

• Visual C++ Using Unicode in Console...

  Hello there. I would like to know how to be able to use Unicode letters in Console. I want to use the following "letters": ╔═╗║╚╝ How can I use this type of "letters" in Console when all I get is ' '. I remember when programming in QBasic I used it all the time to make a good interface. QBasic!!! funny how C++ doesn't want to support it : - / On my computer the following line wprintf(L"\u00C9\u00CD\u00BB\u00BA\u00C8\u00BC\n"); displays your characters. Try it on your machine, but I think it depends on the font used for console window. I hope this helps. ...Show All
