• Smart Device Development Unknown error on AuthenticateAsServer

  I am trying to get a "Serial port to Ethernet" device to make a SSL connection to a C# program. I have generated self signed certificates and placed them on the computer and the "Serial/Ethernet" box. Certificate wise, I think I am good. The thing I need help with are these errors. When I call "AuthenticateAsServer" it returns with these errors. {"A call to SSPI failed, see inner exception."} Inner Exception {"An unknown error occurred while processing the certificate"} Here is the code for calling "AuthenticateAsServer". cert = ( X509Certificate ) CertificatesCB.Items[CertificatesCB.SelectedIndex]; try { ssls.AuthenticateAsServer(cert, false , SslProtoco ...Show All

• Visual Basic Build Complete Notification Sounds

  I just upgraded to Visual Studio 2005 from VS6.0  and I cannot find any documentation for Visual Studio sounds schemes.  In VS6.0 I could have seperate sounds for "BuildComplete", "BuildError", and "BuildWarning".  In Visual Studio I can only create a sound for VS_BreakpointHit  Are any of the others available On a related note, since there is no sound, is there some other way to know when a commandline invoked build is finished The command: devenv stuff.sln /build returns to the prompt instantly. At the moment, I'm listening for the fan in my PC to slow down as notice that the process is finished. ...Show All

• Visual C# Converting Float to 32bit Integer(Hex)?

  I need to convert Float value ( 0.1 as example ) to Hex (32bit) value (0x3DCCCCCD). How can i do it Hi, AFAIK, hex can be converted for "integer part" only. Its base 16 number and starts with 1 onwards... So i really have a doubt that logically its possible or not! Figo Fei, you suggested to write code for it but if you know, please tell me that how a float can be converted into Hex logically Thanks, ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is the XNA Game Studio Express supposed to look exactly like Visual C# 2005 Express Edition?

  I just downloaded XNA Express 1.0 and I looks just like Visual C# Express Edition that I downloaded a week ago. It even says Visual C#.......... and I dont understand why. Also I could never start a new project because there were no templates to select. Does anyone know what my problems are and how I can fix them. matlock85 wrote: I just downloaded XNA Express 1.0 and I looks just like Visual C# Express Edition that I downloaded a week ago.

• SQL Server Autogenerate reply or ServerProc generated message............

  Hello, I got my sample application to work that I am building my proof of concept out of. I need to be able to auto generate a reply message that would normally be in the run routine. The only way I see to do this is pull it from a table but I do not want to do that. I have tried tests where I change the code to see if I can send a message back but I have to reinstall the assembly into the database which is not what I am looking for. I am looking for a way to change the message by either accessing the GUI and getting the string, calling another function to do this, or something like that. I want it so I can change the code in the run routine in VS 2005 but this does not work. I am sure their is a trick to do this but am not sure what th ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple services on same Queue or not ?

  Hi There I am guessing defining multiple services on the same queue is basically for providing different services to outside sources while using 1 queue, obviously as long as the contracts and activated sp logic applies to all services defined on that queue. I am defining a queue per service, is this right or wrong or irrelevant It just works better for me in terms of manageability. I just want to make sure there is no "best practice" reason for doing either or Is it just a matter of preference Any comments Thanx For almost all cases we recommend using one queue per service. Having multiple services backed by a queue is specifically for the scenario you described, i.e. having mult ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Can't paste from VBE to Lotus 123

  I can't paste from VBE to Lotus 123. I copy to the clipboard Clipboard.SetText("xyz") but the paste icon in Lotus 123 is grayed out. I can paste into other programs and I can copy from L123 to VBE but not from VBE to L123.

• SQL Server method call works from .Net form and not from SQL CLR - EnterpriseLibrary used

  Hello I created a wrapper class for a function, and exposed it through CLR. However, if I call this function form SQL it blows up but if I call directly from a test Windows Form the call works fine. The blow up is related to EnterpriseLibrary.Data, where my Queue class uses that library to do all data access call ops Here's my wrapper class: namespace inlineCLRsql { public static class Wrapper { public static void CallQueueEntry( int queueId, int deskNo, int missed) { inLineLib.
