• .NET Development Please suggest a method for issuing encrypted files

  We have an application that periodically requests a couple dozen bytes of data via web service on our web server. The data is specific to the client running the app. We want encrypt the data with a private key on our web server before sending it out. The application would then decode the data with the public key and know that it came from our server. The public key was to be embedded in the application as a resource. The .NET implementation of asymetric keys only allows encryption with the public key and decryption with the public key/private key pair. This is the opposite of want we want to do. We're looking for a suggestion as to how to accomplish this. What we need is for our applications to know that if they can successfully d ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Missing TfsReportDS and TfsOlapReportDS

  Some time ago I noticed that the Reports folder in Team Explorer had a red x in the lower right hand corner and would not expand to show reports. Since I was not really using them yet I just ignored this error. Today I tried to create a new project and received this error.

• Windows Forms Saving from RichTextBox in .rtf or .txt??

  Hello, I am trying to save file to either .rtf or .txt from my RTB. When I save to .rtf it works fine, but when I try to save to .txt it saves the file but it doesn't put the '.txt' extension to the end of the fileName. So when I try to open the file again it doesn't appear as a .txt file, but it works if I manually add the '.txt' file ext. into the filename at savetime. Here's my code: Dim textType As RichTextBoxStreamType If (SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK) Then If (SaveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1) Then textType = RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText Else textType = RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText End If End If Dim fs As New FileStream(SaveFileDialog1.Fil ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Spacewar slow build

  I just tried to build the Spacewar starter kit and it took quite some time to build (5-10min). It spent most of its time building the content. Now, I could perfectly understand the slow build time since there's a lot of content to process (50MB output), but what bugs me, is that my computer becomes nearly unusable during the build. It takes about half a minute to alt-tab from C# to an explorer window while the build is busy. The thing is, I have a dual core processor (which was only at 50% during build) and neither the HDD nor the RAM were actually stressed during the build, so I would expect it to be responsive. For example, when I use the windows calculator to calculate 80000!, the taskmanager shows the same situation as when build ...Show All

• Visual Studio Display the original file name how to set to open different files with different editor

  After working with sourcesafe, I am a hard believer that it sucks. I have all kinds of files checked in sourcesafe like xml, java, jsp, txt,pdfs and css. Each time I double click the file it asks me how to open a file. i.e. with which editor. (I know I can set the options using options to open/edit or check out). I have set one editor as default. But if I have to open a different types of files, I have to choose editor from radio buttons. Isn't it a pain Software should allow us to define what type of file we want to open with which editor. i.e. we should be able to define that after double clicking Source safe should open the file with editor defined in options based on type of file. So it should open doc,xls,ppt file ...Show All

• .NET Development How do I create a nested class with CodeDom?

  I can create an assembly ok with classes in a namespace 'spaceX'; e.g. 'spaceX.classY', but I need a nested class 'spaceX.classY.classZ' I create the CodeTypeDeclaration with the name 'classZ' (I tried 'classY.classZ' and it will not compile), then set the TypeAttributes to NestedPublic. I think I need to add this to the namespace 'spaceX.classY' - but when I search in CompileUnit.Namespaces for 'spaceX.classY' it is not found If I add 'spaceX.classY' as a new namespace - there is an error on compiling 'namespace already defined'! So how do I create a nested class using CodeDom (this was so easy using Reflection!) - Tracey You need to associate your nested class with its parent class. A ty ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Pipes won't work with limited accounts

  I am using Named Pipes to commmunicate between a Windows Service and one or more client applications (depending on the number of users logged in). Everything works fine if the client app runs under a user with administrator rights. When it runs under a limited user account I get the ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED message when the client is trying to connect to the Pipe Server (created by the service).
