• Visual Studio Express Editions Reading Lines in a Text File

  Hi I currently have a text file (textfile1) which contains 40 lines. Each of these lines contain data stored in the following way: nameofthis = value nameofthis2 = value nameofthis3 = value What I would like to accomplish, is to read these values, with a variable assigned to each "nameofthis" variable. I thereby mean that the program should read each line, check what the name before the "=" is, and then check if the variable for this value exists. If it does, it should read the value after the "=", to the specified variable. For instance: TEXTFILE CONTENTS (textfile1): name = Johannes surname = MySurname email = me@myself.com PROGRAM: ' Variables Dim name as String Dim email as String ' Read the ...Show All

• .NET Development Account cannot access private key

  Hello, I'm developping a web service with WSE 3.0. I use mutualcertificate for security and authentificate. But I can only get it working when impersonating as Administrator. Otherwise I always get the error that I cannot access private key. I've use the WSE 3.0 Certificate Tool and I have given access to everyone to the private key. But I still don't get it to work. Another option was create a local user, and install the certificates under this account. Then, impersonate the asp.net to this account. This way works as long as the user is logged in the server. How can I configure to make it work The sever is a W2K3. Thank you!! Hi, I don't have defined any application pool, so I used the ...Show All

• Visual C++ Extensible Storage Engine Sample and documentation

  Is there any sample applications for the ESE API. The existing API reference is nice but it takes time to undersand the API and write an application that use ESE.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Retrieving effects and textures

  Assuming that I have a model in 3DS Max that I export into a FBX file, which goes through the content pipeline, and is then loaded into the runtime as a Model, how do I go about getting the 3DS texture and effects bindings from my C# code Looking at the Model class all I can see hanging off it is an Effect class, but no texture references - are the textures supposed to be embedded in the effect files If so, how should I set the effects in 3DS so that they are imported via the content pipeline Sorry if there is an obvious answer to this, but I'm more used to dealing with pure HLSL/ASM files rather than effects files.. Andy. Take a look at the .xnb files produced when you build the model. Can you fi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Ordered tests with build automation

  Since the build process puts all the dlls under "Binaries" folder, running mstest.exe from the msbuild script will fail because all the paths to dlls that contain tests are hardcoded to go to <p>\bin\release\ which don't exist on the build machine. Is there a workaround, or am I doing something wrong Thanks! -Leo In case anyone runs into the same issue, I used XmlUpdate task from http://msbuildtasks.tigris.org/ to updated orderedtest file as part of the build process.
