• .NET Development Authenticating client using SSLStream

  I have seen the MSDN sample code for implementing SSL in a TCP client/server application (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.security.sslstream.aspx) I then wanted to add the 'optional' client authentication piece to this sample by changing the client to use: I Added: X509CertificateCollection X509Coll = new X509CertificateCollection(); I Added: X509Coll.Add(new X509Certificate(@"c:\Projects\SSLStreamClient.cer")); I Changed: sslStream.AuthenticateAsClient(serverName, X509Coll, SslProtocols.Tls, false); it originally was: s slStream.AuthenticateAsClient(serverName); I created SSLStreamClient.cer using makecert.exe and placed it in CurrentUser.Personal and in CurrentUser.Trusted Root Certi ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Smart device cab project creates incorrect cab file with multiple files with the same name

  Hi there, I've created a C# project in Visual Studio 2005 with two 'content files': both named 'setupscreeninfo.xml', but in different folders, and both also have different content. After that I created a "smart devices cabinet" project, to create a .cab installer file for the C# project. For some more clarity I've made a screenshot: http://smaankers.jepraatpoep.nl/upload/bestanden/Smaankers/cabproject.JPG Now, when I build this solution, it creates a cabinet file with both xml files, but they are the same.. They have the same content, while they should be different files. When I rename one of them to a different filename, I get the two different files in it, so it works. When I check the outputs of the content ...Show All

• SQL Server Corrupt file error when trying to install SQL Express.

  I have an SBS 2003 server that is running SQL 2000 standard edition which was recently upgraded to Small Business Server 2003 R2.

• SQL Server Determine status of processing cube

  From C# I need to determine if a cube is currently processing. We are trying to avoid running MDX against a cube while in the act - it results in an error message to our users. Does anybody know of a way to do this Maybe with AMO Thanks in advance, John Hello John, There is no easy way of doing this in AMO, but you could use the DISCOVER_LOCKS schema rowset to test whether there are write locks on your cube. The LOCK_STATUS and LOCK_TYPE fields returned by this discover could help you find this out. Hope this helps, Artur ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can I use fonts othern than TrueType and OpenType fonts in Windows Forms

  The font boxes in all control properties do not show any of installed non TT or OT fonts in the system, in addition I cannot figure out how to programmatically create a System.Drawing.Font instance representing such a font. I need to do this in a System.Windows.RichTextBox control, the interesting things is that I can copy and paste text from word in the desired font and it would show correctly in the Rtf property of the control. I would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks, Karim Thank you very much for your reply. It is not too difficult to change the underline RTF. I really don't care about how the font displays in the RTB because I will later export it Quark Express for publishing (hence t ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom Tiles --- ESRI - ARCIMS - Shape files - MrSID

  We are Google Maps converts and I have spent some time reading up on adding custom tiles to VE but since this is so new, there is not much yet on importing Shapefiles. I have read and test the MapCruncher and although very nice, it does not support SHP (Shape files) and in ArcGIS you can't export a shapefile to a supported type. I need to be able to add a tile of poly lines (Bike trails) vectors and eventually MrSID Aerial Photpgraphy we have (becuse we have much much better resolution than MS) I can not see a way to serving up shapefiles or MrSID DOQQ files. Any suggestions, tips or other ways we can accomplish this Thanks Jason Jones Dayton, Ohio USA You are the third person to ask me this week. I ...Show All

• .NET Development Parsing double value from a string

  Hi all, I need to parse a string which is in the following format (example): -0.0004 USD/Tonnes Basically, it will be a double value, might be preceded by the negative (-) sign and followed by <Currency>/<Unit of Measure> . The result should be just the double value (with the sign if its there), as in the above example, it should translate to -0.0004 I wanted to know if there is an easy way of doing it in C#, like using the Double.Parse() or the string.Format() methods (I tried them both but couldn't get them to work) Or do I have to parse the string character-by-character to get the required result Thanks in advance, MadMonk P.S.: Apologies if its a silly question, I'm still a newbie in .NET ...Show All
