Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Encrypting PeerChannel Messages
Hi, I'm in the process of attempting to setup a system which detects existing peer applications on the network and broadcasts node information to all registered peers. This is working just fine, and I'm able to generate broadcast messages and query the network to broadcast information for all connected peers. However, I would like to take this to the next step and enforce encryption of all messages travelling over the network. Basically, I would like the peer channel messages to function just like the other standard WCF bindings in regards to message security. Now, I understand that this is a rather strange request, and seems to run counter to the purpose of PeerChannel in general, but I'd just like to know if it is possible, and if ...Show All
SQL Server SQL Server 2005 | Queries Going Into Suspended Mode
Hi, We moved to SQL server 2005 (SP1) recently and are observing a strange problem. During our performance tuning runs, some queries would never finish execution. Looking at the traces on the client side we don't get any hint of root cause. We see traces right upto the DB operation API (for instance C#'s ExecuteCommand) and no traces beyond that. The call never returns/errors out despite setting the command timeout to 30 sec. On the server side we see the SPIDs of these queries in suspended state with one of the below mentioned wait types (so far): -resource_semaphore_query_compile -ASYNC_NETWORK_IO -Cxpacket Server config: Winserver 2003 4 dual core Xeon 3.2 Ghz 18 gigs of RAM parallelism level set to 6 Has anyone experienced something si ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista Multiple WebServiceOutputActivities
Is it possible to have multiple WebServiceOutputActivities in a workflow My workflow could potenitally take a while to run so i want the option for the user to receive a response immediately while the workflow continues to run all its other processes, or just wait and receive a response at the end. Only one of the 2 outputs will ever be hit. the same logic is excuted regardless of if the response was issued or not. i just have a branch at the top which reponds immediately. i then want to return to the same workflow logic and don't want to duplicate it on both branches. i suppose my best option is to put the rest of the logic into its own workflow and call that workflow from both branches. ...Show All
SQL Server Logging in SSIS
Logging in SSIS as compared to DTS is more complex to set up with so many events. What events should I choose if I need something similar to DTS package logging i.e. I simply want to see which tasks executed at what time and whether they failed or succeded and if they failed, what was the error Hi, I would suggest you to check only "OnError" and "OnTaskFailed" , these give you the information you are looking for, typically it would be similar to what it was in DTS. Thanks ...Show All

Visual C# Line separator
I know, can be a stupid question for the C# group in MS, but, why, the editor (via an option) can't automatically insert a separator line between methods like vb Hehe, hope that not being considered a "new comer" makes you feel good, even if you are. Although the editors for VB.NET, C# and C++ look the same in the IDE, under the hood they are based on very different chunks of code. There's stuff that the C# editor can do, like graying code this is #undef-ed that the VB editor can't do. The C++ editor can't do brace matching high-lighting. Etcetera, pretty basic stuff that doesn't work the same. The best place to go to put your feature requests on record is Product Feedback . With enough ...Show All

Internet Explorer Development Outlook Web Access - TEXTAREA problem in message window
A few days ago now, I found out that when opening a new message window or replying to a message, the message window opens and loads correctly until its last item, the TEXTAREA. When looking at the source, the textarea is correctly filled with the preset data (when replying). On my other PC, this still works as normal, so it is not a website problem, more my pc, but how can I resolve this It only displays a red X in the top left corner instead of actually displaying the TEXTAREA. URGENT HELP IS REQUIRED, please reply to frenzow@hotmail.com as well as this forum. It is a setting on the advanced tab in Internet options - although I dont know exactly which one. You need to uncheck something. ...Show All
Visual C# Control USB device when have the driver
Hi I am a new bee in control device, so please accept my apologies if the question is not appropriate I am trying to control the the MS Fingerprint reader. I have use the driver from this website that support the reader. When i installed it the driver then the reader using a libusb0.sys file Can you please if we have the driver then how can control the device using that driver Thanks a lot in advance well you would require the SDK if its available. It also depends at what level you wish to control the device. I think this may not work in C# but going low level using C++/C in doing what you are asking. If there is an SDK available, use it as it would make developing much easier. you need to access the device and perform the correct ...Show All

.NET Development Problem about opening Office document in a new Window.
Hi all (first post yipee), anyway.... currently my web application have an icon that allows the user to edit an office document (word./excel), it is begin brought up by window.open(). However, problem lays here, since this isn't a model/modeless dialog, the user is allowed to go back to the application and reclick the edit icon. This causes the first office document that popped up to become blank and a second office document window will come out. The function of the icon is simple, it just calls window.open(), i am just wondering if there is a way to not allow the user to go back to the parent window and click on the edit icon again. showmodelessdialog() does not work in this case, i have tired opening an excel document with it but it re ...Show All
Visual Basic GetDevicePowerState
Hello all out there! My Goal is this: I want to determine if the star USB strip printer is powered on and in the ready state before i print to it. So far: I am using the Printer_Info_2 status (buffer(18)) to get the status. This works fine except for when the printer is powered off. Then the function returns a status of zero which is equivilant to the on line and ready status. This is a USB printer. I have observed that there is a printer driver detail in the device manager whose name is "Current Power state" . When all is well, it is 'D0' . when the printer is powered down, it is gone or blank. Therefore the potential is there to accomplish my goal. The information i am seeking to get, is located in the Device ...Show All
