• Visual Studio Tools for Office Using Performance Counter breaks Addressbook and other message windows

  In order to optimise the perfomance/usability of our application we have recently introduced a cpu performance counter. Using this counter prevents some of Outlook's windows from displaying properly. The easiest steps to reproduce this error are as follows: Repro 1 - Add the following code to an Addin (perhaps in the event handler of a button): Dim mProcessorPerformance As New System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter mProcessorPerformance.CategoryName = "Processor" mProcessorPerformance.CounterName = "% Processor Time" mProcessorPerformance.InstanceName = "_Total" mProcessorPerformance.MachineName = My.Computer.Name MsgBox(mProcessorPerformance.NextValue) - Run the addin and before doi ...Show All

• .NET Development The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

  I'm having a problem creating a secure channel with a business partner. All certificates are in place, the application runs fine on the development machine. Put it on the 2003 Server, it dies a thousand deaths with "The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel". I've seen a lot of people with the same error but apparently many causes. I have a System.Net.Trace.log which shows that it cannot find a matching certificate. Apparently I'm not holding my mouth right. The scenario is the same as posted by SMITHMX 13 Jul 2006 10:09 PM UTC. The only issue that may compound the problem is that I have put certificates in about 40 million places (apparently not in the right one) and I'm not sure if these may ...Show All

• Smart Device Development how to get the names of all applications running in the device

  I need to get the names of all the applications running in the device like in windows task manager. The processes runing in the device can be captured using toolhelp functions. What are the functions that can be used to get the applications data . any idea Thank you.. That tab simply shows top level active windows. If application does not have a top level window or it’s hidden or has no name it won’t be shown. If application has several top level active windows they all will be shown. If that’s what you want simply enumerate windows (search if you don’t know how). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Visual Studio 2005 Professional SP1 fails to install

  When attempting to apply SP1, I receive the following error message in event viewer: Product: Microsot Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition - ENU - Update KB926601 could not be installed.

• SQL Server SSIS - Cannot debug a script task

  I am unable to step through (in debug mode) a script task. Have set breakpoint on first line of script in VSA. Click Start (in debug mode). Nothing happens. Have also tried to execute task in control flow of visual studio but it will not stop at breakpoint To be clear, do you mean a Script Task or a Script Component The former is the task available in Control Flow, the latter is in the Data Flow. Both are named as above in the toolbox, but people have a habit of using the terms interchangeably which can rather confuse things on here. The Script Task can have breakpoints applied, and the VSA debugger will pick these up and stop as you would expect, displaying the IDE and your code. Exceptions ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal Reports Stopped Working.

  A co worker has told me we are using "an obsolete version of the [Crystal Reports Viewer] software, but it worked fine until last Friday or so. Something not of my doing clobbered it, probably some Microsoft update. We've had this happen before with the ScriptX plug-in; then, the word got out quickly & Mead posted a fix." So far I haven't seen any comments on incompatability with recent MS updates. Any suggestions on where I can look Thanks! Thanks for being there and sorry I haven't responded sooner, but I guess they found the problem or it wasn't as big as we expected. Will start a new thread with more detail if it comes up again. I really appreciate you guys being here. Than ...Show All

• Smart Device Development ActiveSync, WM2005 and recovery

  Hi, We're using RAPI to enable communication between our desktop and PPC application over ActiveSync. One of the requirements on our application is that it must be able to recover from failure, such as cable removal or similiar. This works fine with WM2003, but WM2005 doesn't appear to be able to recover as easily. The scenario is simple: open a RAPI stream, remove the USB-cable (while the stream is open) and reopen the stream. With WM2005, it will only be possible to reinitialize if our app is restarted. When attempting to reconnect after cable-removal, we will _always_ get error 0x80070015 (device not ready). This does not occure on WM2003. This is roughly what we're doing (note - pseudo code): ------------------------------- ...Show All

• Visual C++ Network Programming

  Hi guys, I have to work in Visual studio 6.0 . I am new to Visual C++ programming. I am working on a project that requires communication between PC and Microcontroller. I have to built a TCP/IP stack in microcontroller. I think my Microcontroller would be a server. I don't know what i have to do on PC side.

• Visual C# Message "File has been modified outside of source editor. Do you want to reload it?"

  I keep getting this message within various Visual Studio projects as I am working on them. It happens every time I try to save the current document (Ctrl+S) after making a change to the code.
