• Software Development for Windows Vista STS Sample - using a managed card

  Hi, I have tried the STS example with FabrikamSelfIssued managed card, works fine. I can get all requested claims in the sample web site, but one thing is actually misleading me. I see all the claims empty in the CardSpace Selector (even if I explicitly click Retrieve), but when I send the card, the web site is able to request all claims. Is it a bug (selector's or STS') or was it designed this way I think, that the user *MUST* be able to see and verify all the data before it is sent to the web service. Thanks! Thanks for the reply Garrett, I'm looking forward to try upcoming samples. However, does the STS encrypt the token with RP's public key in the current sample Otherwise why does not the ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro VFP6: Problem saving data

  Hi all The VFP database system is running in the server so that all the workstations can share it. The user complained that she could not save the data after amending. I tested to see whether I was able to save it on my side. It works successfully. I went back to the user’s workstation to verify it but still the same problem. I tried other workstations and found no problem so far. Assuming that there are a few possible causes: 1) Computer in the workstation is not maintained well. 2) Email virus will affect the database system if anti-virus software cannot detect it. 3) There is file caching problem in the workstation. The workstation will "hold" certain data and then release it to th ...Show All

• Visual C# Problem On inputFile Control

  In my aspx file, I have one form tag, in which there are several controls of textbox, inputFile and submit. Sometimes I need to render text by textbox control as well as file by inputFile control, but sometimes I only need to render text by textbox. But if I ever uploaded one SINGLE file, ever since  no matter whether I have chosen file in the inputFile control, if only I clicked "submit" button, the previous already uploaded file would be rendered AGAIN along with the text. It seems that the control "memorized" the file rendering! Pls help me to fix it, thks! you are best to ask the question over on http://forums.asp.net , since this question is ASP.NET specific. The forum over there handles anything relati ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using an Accept Button within a TabControl

  I have a form that contains a tabcontrol. When I press the enter key, I'd like the tab to activate an accept button within that particular tab. I know how to set the Accept button at the form level, but not within individual tabs. Code or menu routings please. Tried TabPage2.acceptbutton = btnCalculateFlop  Where TabPage2 is the Tabcontrol page, and btnCalculateFlop is the button I want to activate. The error message I get is:  'acceptbutton' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.TabPage'.  Thanks in advance. Jet Hi, There is no built-in way to do this. You have to process the KeyPressed event and detect the enter key. Charles ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to extract files from zip file

  Hello Can I extract files from a zip file I have Thanks not entirely. you may need to use 3rd party zip software like pkzip to execute it in a process and give it the right commands to extract the files or maybe some Win32 P/Invoke if the OS is Windows ME or higher as it has zip built in. The .NET Framework 2.0 has a Compression namespace but that is for GZip which is a different zip format I believe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Setting proper rights and integrity for ProgramData

  Hi All, I have an ActiveX control that is loaded by IE7 Protected Mode (eg Low integrity) which needs to be able to write to my folders in "Program Files" and "ProgramData."  When my installer creates the folders, it sets the proper rights/integrity (low).  I have this working for "Program Files." However, I have not been able to create my folder in "ProgramData" with the proper integrity to allow the Low integrity process to write to it.  Setting the SACL (S:(ML;;NW;;;LW)) does not work, although it does have some effect, because when I set it to S:(ML;;NW;;;HI), even a medium process can't write to "ProgramData". I find it quite weird that I can now write to "Program Files," but not "ProgramData."  Any ide ...Show All

• SQL Server Query performance

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. A few XNA questions.

  Now with XNA will you be making the game right in XNA, or do you like make it with another program using different code and then just use XNA to make it playable on the 360 Thanks! Correct. You use XNA GSE to code (on your PC) and debug (remotely on your 360 or on your PC for a Windows version) your game. The assumption, I believe, is that you have a network in your house that both your 360 and PC are hooked up to. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Work item type "review" question

  Hello there. When creating a new "review" work item the "attendees" tab can be used to add required and optional attendees. How are these people notified that the review has been scheduled and they are a required attendee If the attendees are not assigned the work item it isn't being picked up when running an "all my work items" report. With project alerts configured with a valid email address no emails are being sent to the attendees (I think since the work item has not been assigned to them). Is there a way to notify the attendees they have been added to a "review" work item Any help would be gratefully received! Thanks, CD I think the easiest ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development blu ray emulator?

  Hi, I know this is a HD forum but i have a question about blu ray development. Microsoft have issued this "kit" that is very useful and includes a HD dvd emulator and some very useful scrips.

I mean is there any way for the home user to take their scripts/assets and layout / image so that it can then be emulated on a software hd dv ...Show All
