• .NET Development errors adding a web service with sockets to a C++ project

  Hi everyone, I have a web service which communicates via TCP to a C# program. When I invoke it's methods through a browser, they work fine and can communicate perfectly with the C# program. However, when I attempt to add the web service to a C++ MFC DLL I've created, I get multiple warnings, but with only 2 unique: 1) Warning 3 warning SDL4008 : skipping unrecognized extensibility element, with c:\Documents and Settings\*******\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Extend\Extend\CalcSvc\CalcWS.wsdl 84 2) Warning 9 warning SDL4001 : only one SOAP port will be processed. c:\Documents and Settings\cpappas\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\Extend\Extend\CalcSvc\CalcWS.wsdl 104 I am assuming it is because the web service opens a s ...Show All

• Visual C# Security Question

  Hello, I have an application that will be processing secure data. The secured data is never stored anywhere. It is placed into an object (an arraylist to be exact) then once it is finished processing the arraylist gets disposed. How secure is this I understand that objects are saved into memory but, is there anywhere else on a computer that an object could be saved at also is disposing an object a secure way to "erase" the object and data from memory Thanks, Quilnux Thanks guys, Sounds good. I definately will encrypt the data but from both of your posts it sounds like memory will be the best area so, it only will sit for 10 seconds at most so sounds good. Thank you guys again.

• Visual Basic VBA Programmer

  I have been working with VBA for several years, within MS Access. Recently my orgainization bought me Visual Studio 2005 - Standard Edition. I would like to do a simple menu in VB that will replace many desktop shortcuts. These sortcuts would open some access databases, spreadsheets, etc. Just to test it, I created a simple form called frmMain. Below is the code I have written so far.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Porblem with Certificate validation

  Hi i have a service and client that uses certificate to validate the identity. when the client takes to the service i get the following error at the service side.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WPF RichTextBox paste bug ???

  images are pasted incorrectly when I copy to clipboard rich content and then paste it to RichTextBox control. For example, paste content of "How to share feedback" (on Vista desktop) or Vista "Help and Support Center" start page. I tried x64 Vista build 5600. this is by design.. the sdf page on richtextbox documents the scenarios when images are not pasted correctly... this is mainly because we do not support HTML format on pasting... ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development JScript

  Hello, I am brand-new to HD DVD authoring so apologies if this is an obvious question. I'm coming from the web development world, and am looking to port several items of "bonus content" from the web onto HD DVD. More specifically, there are several simple applications (mostly games) that I have written in JScript that I would like to repurpose for distribution on disc. But what I have not found is any reference as to what elements of JScript are compatible with HD DVD interactivity. Obviously the browser-based objects (window object, etc.) are N/A, but are there are also specific data types, variables, operators, objects, etc. that are not supported If there's a tut or reference on this anywhere, that would be great.

• SQL Server How to disable windows authentication?

  How can I disable the windows authentication dialog box when opening the RS website http://server/Reports Thanks in advance Thanks for your interest in helping me out James. The virtual directory security setting in IIS is Integrated Windows authentication. I have many users going to this site, and they are complaining that they have to type their username and password all over again, which is true, it should get the username logged in the pc trying to open the site and compare that against the security matrix defined in Reporting Services for the different reports and folders. This is why the IE security options wouldn't be a permanent solution. Do you have any suggestions to accomplish ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. sine/cosine to degrees to... sine/cosine?

  I'm just wondering about something. When calculating movement in 2D using the xbox 360 controller, how do you handle movement The classic way is to modify your objects direction and velocity and do a sine/cosine dealio to get the final destination (or whatever). The xbox 360 controller basically returns those sine and cosines... is it safe to just use those Like (pseudo code) update (){ object.X += gamepad.state.X; object.Y += gamepad.state.Y; } Or should you convert it to a direction and then back (like, get the controller offsets, convert to degree, then sine and cosine it) This seems like it'd be better because it's safer. But what if I make a common ship unit or whatever. It's easiest for the AI if it knows what direction it ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development Selectively Removing IE History

  Hi all. Is there a way to effectively traverse the URL history and selectively delete entries (our pages) from it. We have a web based application that uses a client side ActiveX control, so we have full access to the Windows API. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. -BG I was able to put together a prototype that successfully calls the DeleteUrl method from IUrlHisotyrStg. After this is done I can confirm that the selected URL's are gone if I enumerate thru the history again. So far so good, but... If I pull up IE, the URLs are still listed in the history and they're also still in the Temporary Internet Files directory. So I'm really not sure what I've accomplished by doing ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA has it's own GamePad DeadZone?

  I've been looking at the output of the thumbsticks, and it appears a value less than 24% (0.24) is ever returned. I know it's very important to implement deadzone in your programs, but why has it been done for us Someone may want to write a game that needs a smaller deadzone, but as far as I can tell it would be impossible given we don't have full access to the output right the way from 0 to 1. Is this behaviour intentional Many thanks, Adam Miles LeeC22 wrote: The actual bug lies in the fact that the horizontal deadzone is being reported when the vertical position is outside the vertical deadzone and visa versa. I don't think having dead-zones per axis is a good idea, because of the circular ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions StreamReader, StreamWriter, Being used by another process.

  I will write my code later, but for now i'll describe my perdicament. I am writing a program that will, to transfer data from one form to another, and the only way i could think of was to save it to a textfile (StreamWriter) then when it opens the second form and when it loads does StreamReader and put them into a set of arrays to keep, and remember the information. When i try writing to it, it says it is being used by another process. The first time i wrote to it, it works, but i can't read it, or write to it after that. I made sure that i am closing with sw.Close() and sr.Close(). I am using 2003 .NET and, in visual basic of course. If anyone else can think of a way to transfer and save the information to another form, i ...Show All
