• Software Development for Windows Vista Digitally signed exe gets runtime error when launched on Vista...

  ...but when the digital signature is removed the exe is launched properly. According to Microsofts requirements for the "Certified for Windows Vista" certification all dlls, exes etc must be signed with a digital signature. We use a signature from VeriTest to sign our installation msi's according to the specifications for the "Designed for Windows XP" logo. When I sign our exe (a C++ application, not the msi) with that signature and try to launch it on Windows Vista, I get a runtime error. Has anyone ever experience a similar behavior If so, how did you solve it Thanks!! /Niklas Hi Niklas, I'm going through the certification process at the moment. We are using ClickOnce and C# but I may ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB code to convert xml file to .txt

  Hi, I have a xml file that I generated with a SQL query. I need the info from that xml file converted to a .txt file. I can not export the sql information to plain text, because I need to modify the info into a certain way as well. The first thing I need to be able to do is to convert xml to .text and then I will get to converting in some format. Can someone please help me or point me to documentation or books to read. I really need to do this and would greatly appretiate the help. Thanks! XML files are plain text files with special tags for each row, and each field. Its almost equivalent to a database but in text format. There are ready made functions to read from xml files, if you are interested. But if you only want t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Errors while creating an answer file in SIM

  I'm using the System Image Manager to create an answer file for an unattended installation of Vista. These were the steps I took: 1. Install Vista via a Vista DVD on a formatted source machine. 2. Boot the source machine to boot from WinPE (Also includes ImageX tool). 3. Run ImageX to capture this Vista image with the command: >ImageX.exe /compress fast /capture C:\myimage.wim "my Vista Install" /verify 4. Copied this image 'myimage.wim' to network share on Technician Computer where WAIK and Windows Deployment Services is setup. 5. Open Windows System Image Manager and Create a Distribution share. 6.

• Visual Studio Team System Print Work Item Per Page

  When you "Print Selected Work Items" from a work item query, it would be useful to have the option to print one work item per page. We use webbrowser (IE) control to do the printing and unfortunately I do not see a way to ask it to place page breaks. If we change printing functionality in future, we'll consider this need. ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlSerialize a System.Drawing.Font

  Hi, I haven't used the XmlSerializer with any built-in types before, so maybe this is a common restriction... But are System.Drawing types possible to serialize When I try to serialize any System.Drawing type, I get a runtime error: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Drawing.XmlSerializers' I can't find any references to this assembly anywhere on the net. Is it something that hasn't been implemented in .NET yet.. Thanks, Jonas Jonas, You get this error because the type you're trying to serialize is not XmlSerializable (maybe some IDictionary is there or something like that).... so it won't be possible to serialize it as xml. The error message you receive is telling you that the framewo ...Show All

• SQL Server Top 10 Chart grouped by Month

  Hello, I have a bar chart that I need to show the top 10 items by Month. What I get currently is a chart by month with the total Top 10 Items (rather than the top 10 per month). I have tried adding a scope onto my Value expression but that didn't help. =countDistinct(Fields!incident_ref.Value, "catGrpDate") Please Help! It sounds like you filter on the overall dataset or the overall chart. I suppose your chart has a "Month" group and a "Product" group. You should add a filter on the "Product" group, e.g.: =Sum(Fields!Revenue.Value) TopN =10 -- Robert ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Microphone input

  Hi, is there _any_ way to get input (16bit PCM would be perfect) from a microphone connected to the XBOX360 I'm planning to write a karaoke game (like SingStar), but that's not really possible without microphone input support. I already have code to analyze input streams and everything that I need, the only thing which is missing is a way to get input from microphones. Any ideas Patrick As I understood, I need a 99$ subscription to submit a feature suggestion or to see the suggestions already made. But I don't agree to pay for a tool that I don't need without the feature to suggest that feature and pay another 99$ years later when the feature becomes available - even if the possibility for this is that sm ...Show All

  Hai, How can I have ConextMenu on LeftClick.... I hope you have a good reason for wanting to do this. A ContextMenu on a left click is really not "standard" behavior ... are you sure your users will want and understand this concept Normally I wouldn't recommend implementing behavior in an application that is different than what most people expect in a Windows app, which in this case is a ContextMenu on a right-click.

• Visual C# Viewing runtime errors

  I'm currently using NotePad to write a simple C# application. I simply use cs.exe to compile my windows application. How can I view the runtime errors when using this approach The compiler does not catch the runtime errors obviously. My .exe simply stops executing without any error messages. I do notice one thing, in my task manager I notice that a process called DW20.exe runs for a brief second and terminates. Is the runtime error being logged somewhere in Windows Thanks in advance.
