• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Morphing headers to claims

  I have a web site that accesses (via WCF) a content provider web service. The web site is behind a Unix-based portal that adds a number of "X-Blah" headers to the HTTP request. The headers contain identity and role data to be forwarded to the content provider web service as SAML claims. Is there an example of a WCF local issuer STS that could be modified / extended to map the "interesting" X-Blah headers into SAML claims that are forwarded to the content provider service Thanks I have an example that has an STS in it here: http://www.dasblonde.net/PermaLink,guid,0de3e38e-a516-4a33-a85d-3027a505f7b8.aspx At the MediaServicesFederation sample.

• Visual Studio Team System Updating default 'MSF for Agile' banner on project home page

  Hi all, I am attempting to update the banner on my TFS Project Portal Home Page. I have successfully customized the project template to our requirements but would like to update the home page banner. Note I am not trying to update the banners displayed on the Process Guidance pages, but the banner on the project Home page. I have already made a number of changes to the default SPS Site, saved it as a template and loaded this new template so it is used with my new project template. I expected to be able to also do this with Frontpage simply by uploading some new images, however when I attempt to upload the new gif files into the sites 'images' directory I get the following error: 'Server error: The Web site that is referenced ...Show All

• SQL Server how to: render faster when exporting a file to pdf?

  hello everyone, I have a report with 8800+ pages. when i export the file as a pdf it takes 1. a lot of time 2. When the file gets saved it is corrupt and there is no data. How do i get the above situation solved. any suggestions. (I am using reporting services default rendering mechanisms available.) schedule it to run late at night when no one is on the server. I have observed the following. I have a report with tons of data and tons of subreports.

I suspect, again suspect, that more memory and cpu is allocated to scheduled tasks vs ones that are run b ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 360 question.

  So far with all ive read i just have one question. When we get the pro version and i make my whole game using 3d files in the .swm format wioll i just be able to open the project in XNA pro and basically play it on the 360 or will i have to redo alot of my code with the pro version Of course - be aware, this is Beta code, you cannot assume that anything will stay the same througout the beta process. Because this is being developed right now, the next update could behave differently or certain classes or methods could change their names. But as far as, when you develop your game for Express (post release) and then upgrade to Pro (post release) there should be few changes that you have to make. ...Show All

• SQL Server Generic calculated measure

  Hi I have to create a calculated measure which is applicable for 16 measures. How can i specify it in a generic manner for eg: create member currentcube.ytd as sum(ytd(),[measures].[sales units]; here my scenario requires the calculation of YTD for many other measures also other than sales units so can i have something instead of [measures].[units], so that it will be generic.

  Hi, I got the above error on the client when I tried to invoke a COM+ enterprise service on the server. I checked the RPC service is started. I could ping the server with out issues. Any idea Try going to the remote machine and seeing if RPC is being allowed through the firewall. I've had a lot of problems in the past where the firewall was getting in the way of my DCOM calls.

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Site Template Query

  Hi, I am new to SharePoint Technologies. I have a very basic question about templates. Say we select a template and create a site. When we want to create sub sites, the template list becomes subset (reduced options) as compared to the original set. E.g if I create a Publish Portal (Either Internet facing or Intranet) and then want to create a subsite like say Wiki or Blog under it I will not be able to as the only option that will be available is Publishing Site with WorkFlow. I am sure this will not be an unusual requirement. May be my undertstanding is wrong/missing something. Can somebody enlighten me with the right concept or give right pointers Thanks in advance Regards Shyla You should b ...Show All

  I'm a little puzzled about what the creators club actually includes, I've checked the FAQs and can't really find an answer.

• Visual C++ Enabling Low Fragmentation Heap fails with GetLastError()=31

  Sorry, another novel here. I'm writing a templated collection class that stores objects by string index as a potentially very wide and deep tree representing all the characters used in all the indices. The class is a rework of one I already have in my project that has been a candidate for optimisation for a while now, and now it's essential because of a significant increase in load through my app. The main problem will be that one of these trees is going to be grown and pruned across a wide range of indices on a very fast basis - probably up to 100-200 times a second at the normal rate of activity, whilst in highly volatile conditions it could go up to 500 or 600 times a second.
