• SQL Server SQL 2005 passwords, can it be configured to accept case-insensitive passwords???

  Users were able tolog on to our SQL 2000 servers with their passwords being case-insensitive. Now with SQL 2005 some users can't logon because SQL 2005 passwords are case-sensitive. Can SQL 2005 be configured so that passwords are NOT case sensitive Thanks! this solution working http://blogs.geekdojo.net/ryan/archive/2005/02/03/7148.aspx ...Show All

• Architecture Preventing denial of service attacks in public APIs

  Hi Forum We are building some web services which will be available to our customers. What is the best way to prevent denail of service attacks My worst fear is actually the accidental never ending loop that a programmer might do. How does one prevent a never a ending loop by an external programmer Is it something that should be programmed into the application Max Object Limit on Inserts - Valid option I can see that if would be quite easy to prevent too many inserts. We could decide on a limit of max entries pr. user for each object type and then do a count before each insert. This is by no means a way to prevent denial of service but it could be one of the tools to use Is it a bad idea - It cannot do anyting about reads, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem with ASP unit test & signed assembly.

  Here is the original problem, I have been trying to get code coverage to work on an ASP.NET unit test. Any test that has the [HostType], [UrlToTest], and [AspNetDevelopmentServerHost] attribute do not work. If I don't use the AspDevelopmentServer and just use IIS, the tests run but no code coverage is recorded. Normal tests without these attributes run and record code coverage. After doing extensive research, I found some posts that suggest that I would need to include the web site in the code coverage so that the dll the web site uses can get code coverage results (see solution makeup below). Furthermore, I am understanding that I should use the three attributes above to hook into the web site. The problem that it comes down to i ...Show All

• Visual C++ No events, virtual functions, etc. for derived class in properties window

  Hallo! I'm trying to build a C++/CLI Windows Forms aplication. I added beside the main project a class library poject and added there a custom control class. After that I change the class code to inherit from System::Windows::Forms::Button so I can build a custom button control to be used in my main projects forms. My problem is now that I don't get any assistance from the IDE to override the Button's virtual functions or events like I was used to in MFC by clicking on the class in the class view and then selecting the needed event in the properites view. All the three tabs (events, messages and virtual functions) are all empty. Am I doing something wrong here Is this not the way you should subclass a control in .net Thanks for an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Change visible content

  I need to know how to change the current content so that when I click the Next button the content changes. This would allow me to make more options available. This is just like when you install something and you have to click Next to view all the options and such. This is very important for my project and any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error 0x8004D00E on SQL Server 2000 + Windows 2000 SP4

  We have an ASP.NET application running on Windows Server 2003 whose database backend lives in a different machine which runs SQL Server 2000 and Windows 2000 Server SP4. Whenever we try to use System.Transactions we get errors. We are almost sure that the problem is related to MSDTC refusing network connections. We tried to run the same thing using Windows Server 2003 in the backend server, and we were able to make it work by configuring MSDTC security using the COM+ console. However, we still need to support Windows 2000 for the backend. There is apparently no GUI for MSDTC security on Windows 2000, and the registry settings we have tried so far did not work. We think this should be a very common issue, but we have ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Library Reference issues.

• Visual Studio C# lang service inserting weird spaces...

  Hello, In the last stretch of the road to ViEmu 2.0, I have stumbled into yet another ugly stumbling block. When I want to insert a newline with autoindentation, I just invoke Edit.BreakLine so that the language service will do it's usual stuff. This works very nicely with the C++ language service, and since I'm now using the IVsLinkedUndoTransactionManager, I can wrap all the operations nicely in an undo group (I couldn't before, because Intellisense etc... used an IVsCompoundAction, which is the same thing I was using, and they aren't nestable). But today, when testing with C#, I've found the method doesn't work. The problem is that the C# language service, when the editor is set to 'insert space' instead of hard tabs, and there are hard ...Show All
