• Software Development for Windows Vista XpsReadWriteSign sample bug?

  I have been working with the XpsReadWriteSign sample application. Unfortunately, it has a consistent file bug that I don't know how to workaround. I believe the file object is subject to nondeterministic destruction somewhere, because sometimes the bug does not show up right away if i am in release mode or running without the debugger. If you keep after it, the bug shows up in these configurations as well. To duplicate: On vista, compile and run the sample from the debugger. 1. New File #1, say "a0" 2. New File #2. say "a1" 3. Open File #1 again 4. Open File #2 again, and expect IO Exception, file is in use. Any help would be appreciated... ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A potential bug in the XNA Framework ?

  On two separate occasions my XNA application has crashed because of an AccessViolationException thrown from Microsoft.Xna.Framework.dll!Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Graphics.Texture2D.GetSurfaceLeve(int level = 0). The exception is being thrown when I try to change the render target. Both times the error has been thrown it was after about 5 minutes of running the application without any problems (and on the same line). The second time I kept moving the mouse around and was using the computer to make sure it wasn't an issue being caused by my screen saver. I am not making any native calls into anything except QueryPerformanceTimer() and QueryPerformanceFrequency() which are being imported in a separate class using PInvoke.

• Smart Device Development Scanning SDK in Compact Framework Issue

  Hi all, I have found an issue with the Imaging/Scanning SDK that the Compact Framework uses and would like to report this issue with Microsoft. How exactly do I go about do this Thanks Tryst The issue is that when I make use of the Symbol scanning (or imaging) API on the MC50 device in my application, and the device memory goes lower than around 7.50 MB (its got the memory slider indicating free program and storage memory on the MC50) I get a SCAN_ENABLE exception. When I get this, it means the scanner is screwed (disabled) until a soft-reset is performed on the device. I guess it doesn't free up all the resources when gets the first error. Symbol have told me that its the compact framework issue (what ever they use for the imager/s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System 2 questions about Automation Build / Build Types.

  Hi folks, these are very blond questions - i'm trying to figure out what this Build Automation stuff is in TFS. 1) Are there any url links to that explain what this is and how to get started with it 2) How does Build Types differ from Web Deployment projects Basically, i have some class libraries, a web project and some test cases (unit tests and later on some web tests). I'm guessing the build automation that comes with TFS is used to build my solution, test cases and code coverage and then deploy the website to the iis machine thanks in advance to any help. :) The Build Automation in TFS is called "Team Build", it could best be described as a scaffold that sits on top of MSBuild and integrates your build proce ...Show All

• .NET Development CLR error in winforms application

  I have an application VB.NET that was first developed under framework 1.0, VS.NET with reference to office xp. later applicaton got upgraded to framework 1.1 and office 2003 in VS.NET 2003.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What about the big picture enterprise?

  I have been reading many articles about Indigo WCF, ADFS, WSE 3.0, SAML, WS-Federation, and WS-Trust. and most of these articles focus on the application-level logic with .NET code samples. That's fine for application developers, but as an architect I would like to have a better understanding how these technologies are woven together. How will they interoperate with the competing OASIS standards The current state of things reminds me of the early days of CGI and ASP.. with HTA HTX server side files, custom ISAPI filters, etc. Early adopters often had to discard the code later. I would like to get a better idea what technologies are a "safe bet" to build a mission critical system that will have to go live two years from now with ...Show All
