• .NET Development The new configuration design in 2.0

  Elsewhere I wrote, regarding putting an XmlDocument into the config file "surely, if anything, this ought to be easier than de/serializinging a binary object into XML and then saving it". I've read more and am pretty much concluding that in spite of the fact that this seems to make sense, the reality is the precise opposite - instead of being simple, it's actually impossible to directly place an XmlDocument/XmlNode into the config file. Which brings up a much larger question for the community at large regarding the design for this configuration stuff. Isn't all of this solely for the purpose of putting some arbitrary XML into app.config under a given application name And doesn't the framework already have great facilities for producing XM ...Show All

• .NET Development Extended MAPI help for Accessing remote Exchange

  Hi, I have a remote exchange 2000 server in my domain which i want to query from my local machine. I am using Extended MAPI in C# (i got a wrapper class). I want to access all mailboxes on that server and retrieve their attributes ( PR_LAST_LOGON_TIME) 1) I believe that the way to do is : MAPI.LogonEx(IntPtr.Zero, null , null , MAPI.FLAGS.Extended | MAPI.FLAGS.LogonUI | MAPI.FLAGS.NewSession | MAPI.FLAGS.ExplicitProfile, out session); and the other concern is to use the GetMailBox table. Now I am not aware as to how to supply the Exchange server DN to this method ( I cant seem to locate the hrGetServerDN method). I tried doing : GetMailboxTable("/cn=Configuration/cn=Servers/cn=mydomain.net", out mailboxTabl ...Show All

• Visual C# check valid path

  Is there away to check a valid DOS path in c# ex: if the user types zzz:\test.txt and the path is invalid, return error message.   using VS2003 .NET1.1   Thank you, using File.Exists to check path validiy is a wrong idea and should never be used. It says MSDN here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.exists.aspx See Under Remarks heading. You can use System.Text.RegularExpression.Regex class to do this but for that you need a Regex string which i belive can be easily found through google. Try something like this File path Regex, Path Regex etc. You'll need to write code like this: Regex fileRegex = new Regex(regexStringHere); Match mat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Wiki capability?

  We've been using an internal wiki for an ad-hoc collaboration system, and we really like the ease with which we're able to add content, and expand the site. Is there a "wiki" like capability to the VSTS I've looked over the "project portal" topics, and it seems to be strongly bound to the project, but I'm not seeing a location for general multiproject and non project related materials. Any feedback on this topic would be appreciated! Thanks Martin, I could certainly have phrased my question better! Now that I re-visited it. This is actually the kind of information that I'm looking for. We too have started down the wiki path for our product group here. (only a few months into it). We find tha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Layout Of Dynamic Controls In Outlook 2007

  i am populating an outlook 2007 form region with controls dynamically depending upon values in a database. so for example i might want this layout: Custom Field Name 1: [TEXTBOX] Custom Field Name 2: [CHECKBOX] at the moment i am using the Left properties but i am having a hard time lining things up to my satisfaction. is there a better way for me to line up these dynamic controls that i am missing thanks. There are a couple of different approaches to the layout of controls on a form region. By default Outlook attempts to automatically adjust the layout of controls using automatic layout. However, controls added dynamically to the form can be difficult to have them lay out as you expect. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Vertex Animation help

  Hi, I'd like to do some simple vertex animation on a model using a vertex shader, but I'm having an extremely difficult and frustrating time figuring this out. I've been looking at the content pipeline documentation, I've found the tutorial about the BBox processor and done that a couple times, I've written a C# converter for a custom mesh format I have to X and still I can't work out how to accomplish this. I guess conceptually I understand how the content pipeline works. I ran the X processor DLL that ships with XNA through reflector and just about had a nervous breakdown looking at all the classes in there. I write geometry exporters, importers, and deformers for Maya at my day job, so I like to think I should be able to do this, ...Show All
