• Visual Studio Express Editions decompiler secure?

  I program simple games in VB and I would like to make a internet highscore for them. I need to be able to access and edit a file on my website. Is there a way to put my FTP username and pasword in the code to acess it without someone using a decompiler to find them. I was thinking of using MY.Settings and make it a string. Can you acess the "settings" or "resources" of a click-once application with the right decompiler what do you mean by "webservice" another application on my website I know I am a total doofus when it comes to this kind of stuff. =S ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance Counters on Service Broker Transmission Queue

  Hello, is there built-in support for monitoring the number of elements in the transmission queue via performance counters Thanks, There's no perfmon counter. Something like count () or sp_spaceused would be required to query the count. The message send perfmon counters probably are a better indication of what's happening at the connection level - depending on what you're trying to measure. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Troubles with Ctrl+Backspace in Edit control

  Hello, I started pure winapi project in C and I have troubles with Ctrl+Backspace in the dynamically created edit control. When I press Ctrl+Backspace there I can see mal-character (ugly square) instead of deleting word before cursor. Ctrl+delete works perfectly (delete word on right side of the cursor).

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Recommended machine hardware for Vista / WPF?

  Hi, Any recommendations about building a Vista / WPF machine I guess the graphics card is the biggest reason to wait longer Are the DirectX 10 cards solid at this point I was thinking about Core 2 Duo for the CPU and maybe $400-$500 for a DirectX 10 graphics card. Is a quad-core CPU worth it for Vista / WPF / anything Thanks, Alex As far as Quad-core is concerned, you're paying a premium for being cutting edge. Of course having 4 cores gives the system more horsepower, a dual-core should suffice. I'd recommend going with a mid-range Core 2 Duo (like the 6400) and if you have money burning a hole in your pocket picking up an NVidia 8800 GTX with the savings over the Core 2 Quad.

• Visual Studio Team System CTP4 Import Problem

  I attempted to import a SQL 2005 database into a SQL 2005 project. The database contains roughly 4000 schema objects and VS crashed every time I tried (4). No error message was given. It was one of the errors Windows detects and then offers to send the info on to Mircrosoft. I then tried to import the AdventureWorks database. This worked fine. Is there known issues with attempting to import larger sized databases Amos. Amos - I know our SQL2005 support is still in development (CTP4 is improved from CTP3, but we still have a ways to go). In addition, we haven't yet finished our performance work, so it wouldn't surprise me if we were having issues with larger databases. I'm not sure what the larges ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Sharepoint Services 3.0 and AD Security Groups?

  I am running Sharepoint Services 3.0 on a Windows 2003 R2 Server. Everything setup without issue and works without issue. I can add AD security groups to Sharepoint groups and the users get access. However the only security groups that actually grant access are the groups that were there prior to the Sharepoint install. Any groups that were created after the install or changes to those groups are not granted access in Sharepoint. Basically I add a presharepoint ad security group to a sharepoint group for access and it works beautifully. I create a new group, add a user to it, and add it to the sharepoint group - it adds without issue but does not grant access to the site. I even tried creating the group, adding it to the site and lettin ...Show All
