• Windows Forms ClickOnce Deployment from Web and IE "File Download - Security Warning" Dialog

  We are deploying via ClickOnce from an IIS web source (.Net Framework 2.0 & VS2005). Have signed deployment and application manifests using VS2005 signing tab with Verisign-issued certificate. After adding public key to the client's Trusted Publisher store, security dialogs have been suppressed, with the exception of one last (simple) case - the "File Download - Security Warning' dialog, prompting the user to save or run the file. Anyone know how to suppress this We would prefer to make the application(s) available online-only, so that the suite of applications can be accessed from a portal web menu.

• Visual C# How to Clear TreeView nodes?

  Hi. In my application, I run a BackgroundWorker to load content from the net. In BackgroundWorkers RunWorderCompleted event handler I want to populate a treeview based on the received content. But first I need to clear the whole treeview. When I try to clear the nodes using myTreeView.Nodes.Clear(), a TargetInvocationException is thrown. I never saw that before, so I think that background worker is to blame. Any suggestions how to clear the TreeView If one thread is trying to add nodes while another is trying to remove them, then bad things will happen, exactly the type you are seeing. Is this what's happen ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) milcore.dll missing from my system?

  Hi guys, I'm finally getting around to playing with WPF. I created the simplest possible app that is just supposed to show a window and uses the simplest possible msbuild file. It compiles and builds 100% fine. But when I run it, I end up with a DLLNotFoundException triggered by a missing milcore.dll file. My dev box has the following software on it, WinFX Runtime Componenets (Sept CTP) WinFX SDK (Sept CTP) C# Express Beta 2 (Although I'm currently just building everything from the cmd line) I've searched my machine for milcore.dll and I can't find it. Searching the web for a solution has also turned up a blank. Any ideas Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server RS 2005 connecting to Clustered sql 2000 server

  We have a configured environment where we have sql 2000 in an active passive cluster.  I have a seperate machine where I installed RS2005 and store the RS database on the SQL 2000 Server.  When doing this, I get errors with WMI. Although saving the database connection succeeded, the report server cannot access internal information about this deployment to determine whether the current configuration is valid for this edition.  If you are configuring scale-out deployment, be sure that you initialize any new report servers from one that is already part of the deployment.

• Visual C++ malloc returns 0 and GetLastError 998

  In my program, some time into the execution, when I set a certain chain of events into action, malloc suddenly fails, and return 0 - even when the available memory is well over 1 GB. GetLastError returns 998 (Invalid access to memory location). I have been testing this on two different computers, on one (with less RAM available) there is no problems at all, on the other, malloc fails. I have installed Insure++ (www.parasof.com) in order to find out if there were any memory errors (like writing out of bounds or freeing the same memory twice) prior to this, but none are found. malloc succeeds at this point in allocating memory up to approx. 90 ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions No Debug?

  My new installation of the Feb05 CTP VC# Express seems to have come without a debug capability.  I don't recall seeing that as a feature missing from the express editions.  Both the Solution Configurations and Solution Platforms list boxes are blank and disabled.  The Project Configuration tabs have no Debug/Release/All Configurations selection capability.  In short, there appears to be no way of setting up a debug build although I can set the settings in the Debug tab of the Project Configuration tabs. Is this a problem with my installation of a feature (lack thereof) of the Express editions Speedo ...Show All

• SQL Server How to turn off Auto Recovery in SQL Server Management Studio 2005?

  Auto Recovery kicks in about every 5 minutes in SQL Server Management Studio 2005. Over a slow network connection, SSMS stops responding until the Auto Recovery completes. Auto Recovery can be turned off in Visual Studio 2005 but I have been unable to find how to turn it off in SSMS. This has nothing to do with the Auto Recovery feature of SSMS. I am also looking for how to change/turn off the Auto Recovery of queries run on SSMS. The option Recovery Interval under Database Settings just changes the interval after which the database does a checkpoint. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Events and DataExchangeServices

  I have written an application where workflows are calling external methods using a DataExchangeService. Some of these methods raises questions to the user. I have two questions related to this: How can I make sure the workflow has a waiting handler for the event in the "DataExchangeService" before I invoke the event that contains the answer to the question. I need to do this, because sometimes the question is sent via email or SMS and the application has a timeout period for some of the questions. The user may also have answered the question from another UI connected to the app. At the moment all I can do is to try and handl ...Show All
