• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) UsernameToken over Certificate authentication

  I need to use client certificate to validate the domain of the request and user name token to validate the user in that domain. I know that this is a classic case for federation but lets ignore that for the purpose of this post. So the first authentication of the request was through certificates, which was relatively easy. Instead of passing user name and password as arguments to a method, I would like to send a user name token in the request. On the server side, I would like to validate the user credentials in the WCF plumbing. How would I go about doing the second part given that it has to happen right after the first part Thanks. One way you can examine the information which is presented to the service is to install a custom IAu ...Show All

• Gadgets Is there a place to test Spaces Author vs Visitor mode?

  I have tested my gadget using a toggle button to imitate the modes, but was wondering if there was a way to see how it would actual work before I release my gadget! Thanks in advance! oops, I just realized it should switch to visitor mode when I go to view space.. must mean my code is really wrong:) Here is the code, which I believe was taken directly from MS's site if (p_args.module.getMode() == Web.Gadget.Mode.guest) { img1.style.visible = false; ...Show All

• SQL Server How to execute multiple stored procedures from a report and return the sum of the values returned from the sp's

  Hi, I am writing a ver complex and highly critical report and since the report is complex, I have created a bunch of stored procedures to handle this. I then created a text dataset to call the sps. In the dataset I have a dynamic sql query that executes those sps and get the values returned from them in a variable. I then add those values together and store them in another declared variable. I want to return this variable from the report so that it shows in the fields list. For this I am writing a single select query for eg: 'Select @amount as Total' But when I click refresh fields, I just get a single column with the name ID and it is not set to any value from the dataset when I go the the fields tab in the dataset. This has b ...Show All

• Visual Basic Why does my Leave-eventhandler execute twice?

  Hello, I have a problem with my Leave-event handler - it fires twice. I have 3 text boxes on my form. The user will put numbers in the text boxes, but the numbers cannot be the same. So when the user jumps to the next text box my Leave-event handler checks if the text box, whixh was left, has a unique number. Below you can see the code - somewhat simplified: Private Sub TextBox_Leave( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles TextBox1.Leave, TextBox2.Leave, TextBox3.Leave Dim CurrentTxtBox As TextBox = sender RemoveHandler CurrentTxtBox.Leave, AddressOf TextBox_Leave ' ...code for testing...

• Windows Forms Syncronizing Data in two dif. Databases

  I am working on a project in VS 2005 C# that will syncronize a WinMobile5 Database(.sdf) and a Paradox Database. I have the program recognizing both databases just fine. I am trying to figure out how to best go about codeing the app. I am comfortable in Borlands Delphi lang. There you could just run a while loop in db A and then insert needed records into db B Something Like: dbA.first; While not dbA.EOF (endofFile) do begin DbB.edit; dbA.fieldbyName(.....field). value := dbB.fieldByName(....field).value etc... dbA.next; end; What is the normal way to do this in C# Can you use sql in a C# program to do this or what would be the c# sintax to loop as above Thanks Jon Stroh You can use the SqlCeDataReade ...Show All

• Visual C# Value does not get assigned??

• Visual Studio Wrong notes for "How to: Create Custom Configuration Sections Using IConfigurationSectionHandler"

  The documentation for How to: Create Custom Configuration Sections Using IConfigurationSectionHandler states "This topic uses the System.Configuration.IConfigurationSectionHandler interface, which has been deprecated in the .NET Framework version 2.0.". Neither IConfigurationSectionHandler nor any of its members are tagged with the ObsoleteAttribute attribute. Could we get some clarification as to whether IConfigurationSectionHandler is or is not obsolete for .NET 2.0 Peter, thank your exaustive response. Digging more into this issue, I found out what may be causing this confusion. 1) Actually, IConfigurationSectionHandler is deprecated in .NET Framework 2.0 and above.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Image formats for toolbars?

  I'm curious what people are using for images on WPF toolbars Are you using icons, bitmaps, a geometry in XAML, or It's nice that you can easily make an interface scalable with WPF, but that implies that some sort of vector images would be best. But how do you make those look good when sized down to small areas like 16x16 I'd like to hear from some developers/designers that have been working with this awhile on what's worked best for them What gives you the best tradeoffs between ease of creation, good looks at larger sizes, and good looks at smaller sizes Yeah, we're using both of those to an extent...the xaml exporter is pretty good, but has some limitations -- for instance, it converts everything (rectangles, etc) to paths ...Show All

• Architecture Clarification on FSMO Roles

  Hi Team, I have a quick question. Say, we have a Domain Tree. The parent Domain is xyz.com. Under xyz.com, I have support.xyz.com and under support.xyz.com, I have zyx.support.xyz.com. xyz.com -->support.xyz.com-->zyx.support.xyz.com Now, let me talk about the FSMO roles. The Forest wide role by default will be in xyz.com. When I talk about domain wide roles (PDC Emulator, RID Master, Infrastructure Master). I expect all the three domain wide roles to be present in all the above mentioned three domains. Is there a possibility that I can remove domain wide roles from zyx.support.xyz.com and make zyx.support.xyz.com depend on other two domains for Domain wide FSMO roles. Thanks in Advance.
