• Windows Live Developer Forums OnRemoteAppLoaded

  After testing on various computers and not finding any bugs, I submitted my application. I recieved a response saying that the application was just "sitting there" on a particular screen and not advancing.  The person who contacted me refuses to give any detail and won't even tell me if both clients have the same problem.  However from what little description he gave me, it seems as if either Channel_OnRemoteAppLoaded or Channel.Initialize are not triggering on his machine. Has anyone had a similar or problem   Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. My app is working without any prob ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problems moving TFS from Domain A to Domain B

  I have been using the docs here ( http://blogs.msdn.com/vstsue/articles/558098.aspx ) to try and move our existing TFS from a test domain to a live domain but I have trouble getting the warehouse and reports working again. As we have only been using TFS for version control up to now, I was wondering; is there a way for me to create a clean install of TFS on the new domain and import the version controls items from the old server, keeping all the history We have no work items or reports to move. Any help would be great, thank you. Graham Thanks for getting back to me guys, but I have now managed to ...Show All

• .NET Development EventLogPermission

  I am getting an EventLogPermission exception when calling my assembly from an ASP.NET 2.0 app. I tried setting the assembly to FullTrust via caspol.exe, but I still get this exception. Firstly, I am not attempting to log from ASP.NET directly, but from a dependent assembly (albeit in the same process space - effectively the same thing, I assume).  I am loading the web app and assemblies over UNC. I am also impersonating a Domain Admin account in my web.config. My trust level is the default setting of "Full". I have tried various caspol commands such as "caspol -m -fulltrust \\mydomain\dfsroot\dfslink\myapp\bin\myassembly.dll " with n ...Show All

• .NET Development serialization stopped working? help! invalidoperation

  Hi. All of a sudden just now the serialization I have been using on my test environments seems to work but when implemented into another project, they have stopped working, this is without me modifying any code. I have a server, and it serializes all objects and sends them down the wire to the client (smartphone running WM5 and .NET CF 2.0) This worked fine until just now. I get an invalidOperationException on the client when it tries to deserialize. This is the line of code where the exception is being thrown on the Client: ProgrammeTimes [] temp = ( ProgrammeTimes [])theXmlSerializer.Deserialize(theStreamReader); &nbs ...Show All

• Windows Forms want to connect to dB using connectionString saved in app.config file

  Dear all, Me and my friend are new to visual studio 2005 express edition. We are trying to build a simple desktop database application. Now both of us have different connectionString to the database in our computers (which is quite obvious).At first, we used hardcoded connection strings in our apps. So it was a huge task to replace all those lines as we shifted our computers to share our works. For compatibality, we were trying to use the app.config file for the connectionString, which looks like : (in my computer) < xml version = " 1.0 " encoding = " utf-8 " > < configuration > < co ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dependency Property

  I have a custom activity derived from HandleExternalEventActivity that I have generated from a interface using the wca.exe tool. On this activity there is a dependencyproperty Approved (type bool) generated. The value of the property is set in the eventhandler for the activity. I have placed my activity inside a while activity that I have set up to have a Declarative Rule Condition that is set up like !this.pageApproved.Approved When I debug my custom activity and more precisely the get/set of the dependencyproperty. I see that when I send an event to the workflow that sets the property to true everything seems nice [ ValidationOpti ...Show All

I branched the project to another directory tree, but VS6 insists on checking out from the original branch. Is there an easy solution Thanks, Maor If you script a little code to read the DSP and DSW files, you can scrub the control info very quickly.
