• .NET Development Securing Web Services

  Hi.. I am looking to secure my web services, and trying to analyse the best possible ways, that can do it quickly and with the least hastle. I've went through WSE 2.0 beta 3, but that will require some major changes in my architecture, specially i have some client aplications made in VC++ 6.0, so  i believe any encryption etc using WSE may put C++ guys in trrouble. I think if i simply host my Webservice under SSL, will that resolve all the security issues. all C++ clients would be require to do is to replace http with https i believe. Secondly how secure it (SSL) will be as compare to security mechanisms in WSE 2.0. Thanks...  Hi, You can use this ... http://www.gotdotnet.com/codegal ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System MSBuild Project type vs TFS Project type

  I'm working on some code where I need to edit the TFSBuild.proj file, what is the best way to do this Right now I'm XmlSerializing the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Common.Project and manually doing some XmlDocument reading after the serialization (it's unable to successfully serialize all the information). Then I discovered the Microsoft.Build.BuildEngine.Project which seems to have better methods for Load and Save of project files. After some testing, I've been unable to edit specific properties in file using the MSBuild Project. Here is the code I'm using: Engine engine = new Engine ( Environment .CurrentDirectory); Project project = new Project (engine); project.Load( @"C:\Source\MyProject\TeamBuil ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CTP5 - Schema Import Problem #2

  I am testing CTP5 against a database with approximately 50 tables. About 5 of these tables have a schema prefaced in their name. For example, I have table names like: ClientBilling.TransactionMaster ClientBilling.TransactionDetail None of these 5 tables were imported into my project when I did an Import Schema. The 45 or so tables that do not have a schema prefaced in their name (they are dbo) imported successfully. Is this a known limitation with CTP5 or is there something else I need to do Amos. Hi Amos Is there something unique in those tables that were not imported. We are able to handle schemas so I am wondering if this is a different issue with the tables themselves mair ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Outlook 2003 or 2007 RPC/Http using Vista

  I use 1and1.com and a hosted exchagne account. My old machine (XP/Outlook 2003) could connect to the Exchange server using RPC/HTTP and a hotfix from MS. Now that I have upgraded to Vista, I am not able to get to the Exchange server. is there a simlar hotfix that will allow the HTTP tunnel or is there some config in Vista that will let me achieve this using Outlook 2003 Bonus, I have a copy of Outlook 2007 which I would like to upgrade to as well, but 1and1 does not yet support this, at least not in tech support. In thinking this through, this is actually a windows issus vs. outlook (I think) so if i can get vista working, then theoretically Outlook 2007 shoudl work as well. Thansk t.a.

• SQL Server Different Result Same Sql Queries

• Visual Studio VS 2005 SP1 Beta doesn`t want to install

  I`m not commenting the decision to use windows installer patching system right now (long story short: 1GB of memory wasn`t enough), but after an hour or so the installer doing who knows what atm just died with a very informative message: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package. The error code is 2908. The number was different the first time I think, when I ran out of free space. And as I click OK it just keeps poping again and again. Oh, wait... it`s stopped after 40- or 50-something clicks. Now, after some time, we have this: Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'CppCodeProvider,Version="8.0.0.0",PublicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11 ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Flash Movie in fullscreen Direct3D game

  n VS2005, i need to embed a SWF flash movie in a fullscreen Direct3D 9.0 based game. I have successfully added my swf(which was painful) and played the movie without problem. But, when I tried to switch the display from SWF flash move to Direct3D device. It failed! The followings illustrate the general flow of my problem: 1. load and display the SWF 2. user press space to start game (SWF get focused and read space bar), set SWF invisible by AxShockWaveFlash1.visible = false 3. start game, render Direct3D 4. game ended, stop rendering Direct3D 5. show the SWF movie again, set SWF visible by AxShockWaveFlash1.visible = true, focus SWF Problem raised from Step 4 to Step 5.

• Visual C++ breakpoints and watches in un/managed c++/cli mixed code

  I'm adding managed c++ (c++/cli) code to a mostly unmanaged project and I'm finding that I cannot put any breakpoints in the managed portions and that watches don't return any useful information. Is this a feature, or is there a workround TIA Nope, has no effect. It doesn't seem to matter whether I set the debugger type to mixed, managed only, native only or auto; it only and always breaks in native code. The project has no clr support, while the managed cpp module has /clr set. By the same token I only get intellisense in native code, it's like the olden days of coding with a separate text editor and compiling at the command line, but not in a good way. ...Show All

• .NET Development Virtual Path Problem?

  Pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish is a data backup utility. First I have a treeview on the left, pretty much like Folder Explorer, that lists the drives and so forth. You then can dive down into different directories from there. The files and directories are then put into a listview on the right, after you select one of the nodes. This is where the problems start occuring. I'm including a piece of code here, just as an example to give you a visual understanding of what I'm about to ask. First make your basic windows form app. Add System.IO namespace Add a button Add listview control In your button1_Click event add the following DirectoryInfo tempDir = new DirectoryInfo ( "C:\\WINDOWS\\Downloaded Pr ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Test Case 2 and OpenFileDialog control

  Last step of the Test Case 2 is : 10. Attempt to open the file created in step 3 above a. The file can not be opened and the logged on user must be prompted indicating so. My application uses the OpenFileDialog control of the .NET Framework. When browsing to c:\users\logouser1 using the logouser2 account, the UAC consent dialog box is displayed. If I give credentials of an admin user, I am able to open the file in my application. But when trying to modify the file and saving it, my application displays a messagebox saying "access to the path ... is denied". I think this behavior should be OK, but the test case states my application should not be able to open the file in read only mode. And in the "Verification" ...Show All
