• Visual C# How to verify signed file signature in code?

  Technology: C# .NET 2.0 Situation: I would like one exe file to be able to check another exe file to see if it they were both signed by the same private key. Story so far: I can include either the CER file or the public key itself inside the first application as a resource, so I guess I'm really just asking how do you verify a signed file using a separate public key using .NET 2.0 Thanks for reading.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Empty Project Template's Missing

  I know, I know, why should I care... According to this thread http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b4z62wxz.aspx VB Express should have the following templates built in (just like C# Express): Class Library, Console Application, Empty Project, Movie Collection Starter Kit, Screen Saver Starter Kit and Windows Application. On my system, however, the Empty Project template does show up in the C# edition, but not in VB. Why's that Probably I won't be missing a lot (hey, after all, it is an EMPTY project template), but sometimes those little things can really bother me. Oh, by the way, can I download the missing piece somewhere - just for completeness sake. And, no, it wasn't in the setup either. Thanks! ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Distributed Transaction problem

  Hi, I'm having problems getting transactions to work correctly in a state machine workflow. Within the TransactionScope activity I have a Code activity that does a couple of database writes, another Code activity that sends out a notification email, and a SetState activity, which I want to be executed only if the rest of the code executes correctly. The WF runtime and DB are hosted on different servers. After fixing a "The partner transaction manager has disabled its support for remote/network transactions" error by enabling the MSDTC stuff on both machines, I'm now getting a new error: "The transaction has already been implicitly or explicitly committed or aborted (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8004D00E)" A ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies OL 2007/Vista RTM Search not working

  If I enter a search query from within OL 2007 (using the all items) I don't get matches except my Exchange account. I have several other PSTs and Public folders. I have them all checked in options, set things to search all and also have unchecked the quick results. If I enter the same search in the search box of the File Explorer in Vista, I get all the matches. Ideas Using Vista Ultimate RTM. Are those pst files located locally on your computer and not on a remote location Also, for public folder, I believe you need to have this cached locally as well for it to get indexed. Let me know if this is not the case. David Peng (MSFT) ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. access texture NAME for a an FBX-loaded effect

  I have a mesh with a multi/sub material on it. There are three different sub-materials, each with a different texture. I export via FBX. It comes in as a mesh with 3 parts (naturally.) I want to dynamically replace the texture on ONE of those parts. I need to be able to find the original name of either the material or the texture from the Max file in order to identify which texture to replace at runtime. I found a name parameter on the texture, but it is empty (despite being populated in Max.) Am in in content processor territory here I think you will need to write a custom processor - something like this (shamelessly robbed from Shawn Hargreaves blog - which any sane XNA develope ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista play video on 3D object

  Hi Is it possible or anyone has done it before.. to play a movie on 3D object like a sphere.. or something My idea is to ge each frame.. and set it as texture.. but that will strech the image.. and that not good .. anu ideas Thanks! You can use VMR9 with "custom allocator-presenter". This will put each frame into a Direct3D surface, then you can map the texture to any geometry (sphere etc...) however you want. There are some C++ examples in the SDK and some C# examples in the DirectShowNet samples. Best regards, wtrn ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Form height

  I need a Form about 900 px deep and the IDE keeps changing it to 612 px. I've tried setting Max & Min, changing borders, etc. I want Borders None, ControlBox None, Title None ... Just a blank form. I put a Panel on it and can size it to 900 ... but, of course, it gets clipped @ 612. I search the forum and found 1 similar, but did not have a solution ... unfortunately, it is a Show-Stopper for me How can I duplicate a paper form if I can't size the Form to full page width & height Any ideas, Roger Set the form's AutoScroll property to True to let it display a vertical scrollbar so you can scroll to controls that don't fit the screen height. If you need to print this form, you can use the recent PrintF ...Show All

• .NET Development Send images over a network?

  What protocol will i need to use to send images over a connection to a remote computer, in real time A number of protocols would work here, it really depends on the over requirements of your application, what is available on the remote host and what the network infrastructure looks like (firewalls, etc). For simple cases like direct file transfer the lightest weight solution is likely a TCP Socket based application. If you search the web for "Socket Code Examples" you will find an MSDN page with full code examples. ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services e-mail delivery extension error

  Hi guys! I am having a problem with the e-mail delivery extension in MS SQL Reporting Services 2005. I have some reports that use an Oracle data source. When running the reports through Report Manager the data source works fine and the reports display properly. But when running an automatic e-mail delivery of the reports through a subscription I get the following error message (in the ReportServerService log file): System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater. Doesn't this seem strange when the reports run in Report Manager but not when I send the reports through e-mail I have Oracle Instant client v. 10.2.0.3 installed on the machine. I am wondering if the e-mail delivery extension has an acco ...Show All
