• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) SSL Support

  I am currently implementing a service utilizing BasicHttp binding using XmlSerializer serialization....effectively giving me a bare bones service consumable by a smart devices app. What's the easiest, most straight-forward way to utilize SSL over the Http I don't want any username or password tokens, etc. All I want is SSL encryption over the connection when the smart device client connects. Given the above, I believe I need to use Transport security mode which requires a certificate. Am I correct in assuming this If, so how should I go about setting up a certificate I've come across the ServiceHost.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.Se ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Tests not appearing in test manager lists
