• .NET Development ASP Website Permissions

  Hello, I am putting together an ASP website and would like to run it using a limited account. Currently, the main thing this page is doing is querying the local machine and verifying that a service is running. However, the only way I can find to successfully run the script is by using an Admin account. Is there any way to specify which account type to use or how to run it with limited permissions with IIS The permissions would be specific to this page only. You can impersonate the admin account in the web.config file: <identity impersonate="true" userName="domain\MyAppUser" password="password"/> Adamus ...Show All

• SQL Server Attempting to obtain report name or identiy using CheckAccess method in SQL Reporting Services 2005

  I found some dead-end threads regarding this issue but have not seen a clean solution. Utilizing a Reporting Services security extension, I can't find a way of obtaining the reports name or identity from within the CheckAccess() method so I can use it to query an external database to ascertain authorization. In other words, my company requires the creation of custom roles that can be used from within our ASP application and well as being honored by SQL Reporting Services 2005. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate your time! Thanks in advance, Tom Thanks Teo! You sure have put lots of work into the "Harden MS Reporting Services Usin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Where is SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition?

  According to http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/products/compare/default.aspx VSTO includes: SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition ; Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions; Access 2003 Runtime license On the CD's I received, I can only find the Express edition on the first CD (at least that is what the installer says). I have searched this forum and the internet, but could not find an answer. So no one is missing it. Do I miss a CD (I have 6: 1 for VSTO, 3 for MSDN library, 1 for Infopath and 1 for Access Extensions) or am I that blind and can someone point me to it Hi Marinus I'm a bit surprised and disappointed that no one from Microsoft has replied to you.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do I open legacy structured storage files with IO.Package?

  We have some structured storage files that we want to be able to access with managed code. I am trying to avoid the PInvoke and/or Interop - and came across the IO.Packaging with the internal compound file stuff already done. I tried to use it but it defaults to xml package - and so I error - and I am wondering if it is possible and if someone has a sample of how to use these API's to open and read any compound file Thanks "one can easily see that everything necessary for Compound File read/write is implemented" Please note that just because a function name is visible from reflection doesn't mean it's actually implemented. And even if there is an implemention, that doesn't mean it i ...Show All

  I have created a state machine workflow. When the setstate activity changes the state from one state to another, i want to capture an event and perform some action. For example, when the state of the statemachine workflow changes from "State1" to "State2", i want to capture an event inside the workflow itself.

• Visual Basic ToolstripMenuItem.Visible

  Hi, I have a menu item that was upgraded for VB6 to .net (mnuBranch) as Toolstripmenuitem. In the code this menu item is being set to visible or not when there are multiple branches. Here is the code me.mnubranch.visible = (rs.recordcount > 1) This didn't work and tried assigning the recordcount to a boolean variable and then assign it. Still it doesn't set the property to true. There is a popup menu that needs to be populated depending on this property. So the code doesn't get executed. Thanks, SS You said it "doesn't set the property to true", so I'm assuming the value False is in there. In that case rs.recordcount must be 1 or less; the easiest way to verify this is st ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development Looking for Example of Sliding Control Panel

  I'm trying to get a working sample where the control panel (panel of menu buttons) slides up and down from the bottom at any time (on selection). Similar to what was shown in the demo at the CES. I'm trying to use some java script from the popular AJAX style libraries (like Scriptaculous), but so far have had no luck getting it to work. Does anyone have a sample of this type of behavior to share Thanks. From an authoring perspective, it depends on what you are most comfortable with. Both get the job done. From a player perspective, each implementation may have different performance characteristics. More complicated markup pages have a greater per-tick cost (in the naive case), but this can be reduced given enough engineering effo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows::Forms::Timer doesn't re-enable

  I assume this is a threading problem but new to .NET development so I'm not sure what's tripping up. My app (C++/CLI) watches a directory. When a file is created the path/name gets added to a collection class, which in turn fires an event. The UI receives the event, adds the data to an add queue then enables a timer. When the timer tick event occurs I update the UI then stop the timer. Meanwhile, the worker thread processes the file. When finished the worker thread removes the file from the collection class, which in turn fires an event. The UI recieves the event, adds the file path to a remove queue then enables a timer. However the timer never ticks again so the UI is never updated. This is where I'm scratching my head going hmmmm. ...Show All
