• Visual Studio Express Editions "Name 'X509Certificate2UI' is not declared" error

  I'm trying to work with a sample of code from MSDN. One of the lines from the code is: Dim collection As X509Certificate2Collection = X509Certificate2UI.SelectFromCollection(fcollection, "Select an X509 Certificate" , "Choose a certificate to examine." , X509SelectionFlag.SingleSelection) VBEE is complaining about X509Certificate2UI and X509SelectionFlag. I've imported " System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates", which defines these names. I've used the Object Browser to check that they are there.

• Visual FoxPro Execution of function or command is not allowed in context of SQL command.

  Hi; I got this error when I try to issue a quit command from my error trapping routine. Clicking help (Just like many other cases) is no help at all.

• SQL Server External Activation and Receive Timeout

  I have a set of service broker services setup that rely on external activation to process messages. I'm using the GotDotNet ExternalActivator, and it launches console applications that do the actual retrieval from the queues. The console applications are written to run continuously to avoid the cost of starting up .NET based console apps over and over again. I am observing very odd timing behavior. With the receive queues empty and the external activator configured to run a minimum and maximum of 5 instances, I observe in SQL Profiler that most of the receive operations finish in about the same amount of time as my WAITFOR command in my receive stored procedure. However, there is usually one receive command that consistently takes upwar ...Show All

• Smart Device Development System.SR.dll appears corrupt when installed on device

  When debugging mobile applications, exception error messages are localized and you need System.SR.dll to be able to see them. Deploying via F5 from Visual Studio does indeed install System.SR.dll for me but I still cannot see exception messages during debugging. Examining the DLL by dragging it to the desktop and inspecting it in Reflector it appears to be corrupt in some way. The only workaround I've found is to manually extract the DLL on the desktop and then deploy it specifically with the solution. Does anyone know why the DLL would appear corrupt System SR cab should place it into the GAC, look in \windows for a file including the name System.SR. If its not there try running the cab file on the device manually. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Vista, VS2005 SP1, Mobile Device Center and disconnects

  Situation: I had to install Vista Ultimate x64 I installed Visual Studio 2005, SP1. Both in Italian. I could not install the "Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista " because it is available only for English.
