.NET Development How to specify which certificates are trusted when using https for web services
Hi, I want to use https when consuming a web service created by creating an endpoint with ms sql server 2005 and specify PORTS=SSL when creating the endpoint. I figured out that I have to create and register a certificate for a particular ip/port. I did that with the tools httpcfg, makecert and certutil. But when trying to consume the web service in my project I got a problem that the certificate is issued by someone whom I don't trust (i am the author of the certificate). Can anyone tell me how to specify which certificates I trust Thanks, Anton You need to add the certificate in your Trusted Root Authority. See http://www. ...Show All

SQL Server Report Services Configuration Error
Hello, I am a complete Newbie with SQL Server 2005. Can someone help with this problem or at least point me in the right directio for diagnosing it correctly. I'm learning the Standard SQL product on Windows XP Pro, and everything on my computer has the latest updates (from Windows Updates). I had previously installed SQL Express, but removed all products associated with that according to steps listed at Microsoft's site (pre-installation steps for SQL Server 2005 Standard, as they relate to the removal of SQLExpress). My problem is I can't run "Reporting Services Configuration". When I try to run it, the main window opens with "Report Server Installation Instance Selection" window, and immediately I get an ...Show All

Hello, On Vista RC2 without Flash, after I close my app, I get this message titled "Program Compatibility Assistant": ...

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WindowsFormsHost and AllowsTransparency="True" conflict.
Hi, I am having this issue while developing a WebBrowserApplication(with full trust) using .Net FX 3.0 June CTP.

Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Joysticks with XNA
Before I start I already know that XNA has no joystick input support - but I'm using an xbox 360 styled joystick input with force feedback (so its exactly like the xbox 360 control) this is it: http://www.powerwave.com.au/index.php evnF=productImage&format=&title=Powerwave%20360%20Shape%20Controller%20-%20Carbon&id=2.195326&acode=APCPW2C3C And I want to know if anyone can help me get it working so when I debug a game in XNA I can use this controller I've bought instead of my keyboard. Or at least if anyone knows any software I can use that converts joystick input to keyboard so I can map the triggers on the controller to the keys that XNA uses. Thankyou for your time. ...Show All
SQL Server Management Studio: UNWANTED Firing of Triggers
I have a trigger on a table that updates a 'date_modified' field anytime a row is changed. Like so : CREATE TRIGGER mytrigger ON mytable FOR UPDATE NOT FOR REPLICATION AS UPDATE mytable SET date_modified = GetDate() WHERE keyid = mytable.keyid When the table is opened in Management Studio and only ONE ITEM changed, the trigger fires as expected. BUT once the window is closed, M. Studio is firing the trigger for all rows. Does anyone know a way to prevent this I only want the trigger fired for the one row that was changed AND this includes when the table is viewed in M. Studio. thanks, Running SQL 2005. Don't you need to use the special tables Inserted/Deleted i.e. (note: n ...Show All

Visual Studio When Sharing a folder containing a project, the .vspscc files go crazy, or duplicate
Following a suggestion from the VSS Help, regarding ways of maintaing to separate code version for a project, eg a released version, and a developement version, where fixes from a released version would also be merged into the development stream. I shared our main project folder, instead of just branching it, to save space, so that for bug fixes, we would just need to branch specified files. An addition necessary step was to branch the actual project files (.vcproj) along with the associated vspscc files. This seemed to be necessary for visual sudio to be able to work with these projects and use source control. When I tried to branch the vspscc files they seemed to duplicate themselves. E.G. They would continue to to maintain a ...Show All

Windows Forms Biringing a run-time created textBox in front of a treeView
On my form I have a treeView having a contextMenuStrip. When I click an item on my contextMenuStrip I am creating a textBox with this code: TextBox entryBox = new TextBox (); entryBox.Left = ClickedX+200; entryBox.Top = ClickedY+100; entryBox.Visible = true ; Controls.Add(entryBox); and my TextBox creates just fine. But the thing is that when the coordinates of the textBox intersect with my treeView my textBox hides behind the treeView and I can not see the textBox; partially or fully. I have tried to write entryBox.BringtoFront(); but unfortunately still no change!!! How can I make my yexyBox appear above of all objects Regards. Add this code: entryBox.Name = "entryBox" ; ...Show All
