• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problems understanding how to use the async loop in a ChannelListener while using a ServiceHost

  Hi, I'm having a little trouble creating a custom transport and was hoping someone could help me clear some things up. I've read the blogs, and the forum, but for some reason I don't get a real grip on how my particular situation should be solved. I hope I'm not repeating old stuff here. Well.. The system is a request/reply kind of thing, where the client makes a request by mail and then waits for a (more or less, since we're talking about mails here) synchronous answer. The client part works pretty well, a channel factory produces IRequest-channels that send and wait for the mail, and everything is run through a proxy. No probs there. On the server side however, it doesn't work as smoothly. I've created a Listener (hopin ...Show All

I don't understand the reasoning here. GSE was never, AFAIK, promised to work with VS. GSE and GSPro are targeted at two totally different audiences. GSPro will contain functionality that indies and hobbyists won't have access to (Live features) since they're not registered developers so why should they pay for something they can't use Where is the line between "hobbyists", "indies" and "professional"   Where does it say Live Features won't be available to GSE And why can't they use Live Features ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dec VISTA - No LDDM Driver for ATI Mobility Radeon 7500

  From http://samgentile.com/blog/archive/2005/12/24/32188.aspx Given Ian's success on a ThinkPad T43p with an ATIX600, I just installed Vista 5270 on a ThinkPad T42 which has an ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 instead. All the drivers installed except that one but I was able to install it using the Device Manager and Windows Update. The ATI Mobility Radeon Driver is totally supported in Vista. The only bummer is that there is no LDDM driver for it even in the CATALYST Drivers on the ATI Vista site so I can't get Glass. Otherwise, on this machine, Vista is performing perfectly. The new glowing ORB instead of the Start Menu is totally cool as is Windows Media Player 11. The comments on the UAP still apply though. There is no LDDM Driver fo ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems with password protected key file

  We have just changed our assemblies over to be strongly-named. This has worked fine, except that the tests fail to run. So I checked the documentation, and sure enough password protected key files are not supported. That's OK (although I think it's a bit weak, since we would have to have been psychic to have known about the problem ahead of time), so I followed the instructions and used the sn tool to override verification on the assemblies in question. This worked fine when I ran it from the command line, so I created a test setup and cleanup script (as directed in the instructions at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms243141.aspx#DisableSigningVerification ). This does not work. The test run runs exactly as it did before I add ...Show All
