• .NET Development Accessing the web service

  guys - this problem has been discussed a lot over the web, but I am yet to find the apt solution. I have this simple web service (ASP.NET 2.0) that I am trying to access from my client code (windows app) in a different machine. My client IE settings have the proxy set to http://autoproxy:port . Now when I try to access the service, I get the 403 forbidden request error.

This worked absolutely fine ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Problem installing XNA Game Studio Beta 2

  I previously had XNAGSE beta 1 installed, however I am unable to install beta 2. I read around on the forums a bit, and this is what I tried: 1. Uninstalled beta 1 2. Ran Visual C# then closed it 3. Tried to install beta 2 However when I try to install beta 2, it gets through most of the install, but after it does "installing DirectX redist" it goes to "rolling back action" and tells me that the install ended prematurely due to an error.

  I personally put up a XNA chatroom to build a community that is already here and to better get to know each other. If you want to quickly inform somebody or get some information or help with something go there. The only problem for me right now is getting idlers in the channel.

• SQL Server Backup to Share with SMO fails, but works to local hard disk

  I have a short program (vb.net) which backs up an SQLExpress database. It works fine if the destination is a file on the local drive. However, it always fails if the destination file is a network share or a mapped share. The same program verifies the share is available by trying to read and write a small file before performing the backup. This is a stripped down version of the code Dim svr As Server = New Server("Servername") svr.ConnectionContext.LoginSecure = false svr.ConnectionContext.Login = TextBoxBULogin.Text svr.ConnectionContext.Password = TextBoxBUPwd.Text Dim bkp As Backup = New Backup() bkp.Action = BackupActionType.Database bkp.Database = TextBoxBUDatabase.Text Di ...Show All
