• Smart Device Development RSA Encryption

  Has anyone used RSA Encryption/Decryption for cf Thanks, Paula Yes. I'm trying to get it to work using the openCFNet objects and I'm having problems. I've never had any luck getting answers on their forum, so that's why I asked if anyone here had done it. I can encrypt data without any problems, but when I try to decrypt it I get a 'bad data' error. For proof of concept purposes, both keys are hardcoded in the project. Here is my code. I don't know how to format it nicely for the forum, sorry... Thanks! public string EncryptDataString( string strInput) { string xmlString; ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office how to create shims for add-ins created with VSTO if no VS2003?

  Hi, In VS2003 it was possible to use the Shim wizard for Office add-ins created with .Net. However, as I understand this does not work with VSTO.

• Visual Studio Team System How can I report developer hours by week?

• Visual Studio Team System [OT] Security Attribute question

  FxCop advise me to assign some security to my library, with this warning: http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/fxcop/docs/rules.aspx version=1.35&url=/Usage/AssembliesShouldDeclareMinimumSecurity.html I should confess that I have little knowledge about this, never done it before. And I face the following conundrum: On one hand my component won't use any system resource (no disk access, no socket access, etc...) On the other hand one of my DLL is a ManagedC++ wrapper around Uniscribe. I cant escape either of ManagedC++ or C# Interop, which requires maximum permission I believe. However what my library does and the function it expos ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to refresh VS2005 workitem cache?

  When I have already opened a WorkItem and somebody has altered it I get an error when trying to save. But closing and reopening doesn't cut it. It has cached the workitem. After a few minutes it seems to refresh the cache, but it is annoying to wait. Are there any ways to manually refresh the cache ( without restarting VS ) Thanks borge3000 Sorry for the trouble you are having. The Refresh command and other cache-related changes were added starting with the RC build. Unfortunately, the only way to refresh the item in Beta 3 would be to wait 5 minutes or close and re-open Visual Studio. ...Show All
