• Software Development for Windows Vista importing/using common vocabs and taxonomies - winfs only?

  It's great to see Microsoft finally supporting tagging in their Windows platform! I have a question specifically on this subject however. My question is: Is it possible to import a predefined keyword list My background is in embedding ICT into UK education. Specifically, I am working with educational bodies in implementing a standard for vocabulary management in education/schools. A common vocabulary is being created as part of this work. Will Longhorn/WinFS support importing of predefined vocabularies I understand that Longhorn will be supporting only local file based tags. I assume that it will be WinFS that may ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Test Run Error (Beta 2): Deployment from network share is denied by current user settings

  Hi all, Beta 2 looks and feels great so far. I am developing in a VM, but keep my project files on a central server, which is accessed through a network shared (mapped drive).

• Visual Studio 2005 client and V6 Server

  Does the new client work or is it supported with the new V6 server Are there any good reasons to run this way Or, what is gained by doing it The database format did not change between the previous release and 2005. This means that you can use the new tools with the older version of the product which should improve stability and reliability. VSS 2005 has a lot of stability and reliability improvements. -mark ...Show All

• Visual Studio LocalReport ReportViewer FireFox Overlapp Problem

  Hi, I have a local report in asp.net that works fine on IE. I have read the posts about placing the textbox inside the report to combat the firefox shrinking tables of data inside reports. This has solved that problem. My current problem is that the report in firefox overlaps the border of the reportviewer and overlapps some text outside the reportviewer control. This is working fine in IE. I have tried various options of Height=100% and asyncrendering=true/false but cant seem to get it to work for both IE and Firefox. Code below: < rsweb : ReportViewer ID ="rptHealth" runat ="server" Font-Names ...Show All

• Windows Forms Internet Explorer 6.0 has stopped sending forms in email

  I'm running WinXP Home SP2, and after a recent series of updates, my IE 6 has stopped sending forms in emails from my web sites.  The form has been working fine for some years with the following action: <form action=" mailto:userid@domain.com subject=Family Fact Sheet " method=POST enctype="text/plain"> followed by standard HTML coding, with tables and <input> tags. When I submit the form, IE opens Outlook Express with the To: and Subject:  fields correctly filled, but nothing at all in the body. When I submit the form in Firefox, the form works fine, as before.  How can I fix this Doug Simmons P. ...Show All

• .NET Development End of Stream error

  Hello! I keep getting this problem when trying to read a binary stream. "System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException: End of Stream encountered before parsing was completed." I've tried using both the FileStream.Seek(0,SeekOrigin.Begin) and the FileStream.Position = 0 but I still get the same error. Here is my code: FileStream fs= new FileStream("stream.bin", FileMode.Open); BinaryFormatter sf = new BinaryFormatter(); fs.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); allWords = (ArrayList) sf.Deserialize(fs); fs.Close(); I managed to figure it out myself. Apparently another method throwed an exception and n ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XML serialization and cloning...

  In message http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windows.developer.winfx.avalon/msg/f385306eb9c073a8 Nick Kramer discusses some options wrt serializing Visuals to XAML. He mentions various callbacks that might enable serialization of events, but I cant seem to find these callbacks in recent versions of the framework. Elsewhere in these groups, others have suggested that serializing to XAML and back again is a good way to clone a Visual or FrameworkElement. Im working on an application where I want to enable cloning controls with all properties and bindings intact. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might go about this ...Show All

• Visual C++ Where did the win32 winsock libs and headers go?

  I am trying to compile some software I wrote using the win32 winsock interface and its just not there. What happened to it VC6 is no longer supported. So you don't need to wonder that the official SDK only supports the newer versions of the VS series. Also the higher MSDN abos contain the MSDN library that is a the complete online docs integrated into the VS IDE. And the all higer MSDN abos include a version of the current Visual Studio versions and in the archive section also access to the previous versions.

• Visual Studio Team System Scenario level of detail

  Heya, we are trying to use the MSF Agile process but are quite new to it. I'm wondering about the level of detail for the scenarios. As I understand it, a scenario should describe the exact way a user access a particular feature of the system. In our case this would spawn a zillion scenarios, which would be difficult to manage. Is there a recommended level of detail for scenarios I'm in a small project and we don't have the resources (time and staff) to do all of these scenarios. I'd love to see some more examples on scenarios too. Cheers, Chris I would divide entire sysem in major/minor business fu ...Show All

• Windows Forms MIME settings

  Hi, I want to deploy a ClickOnce application through my site. The site is hosted at a web hosting company and I want to ask them to set up the MIME type for .application, .manifest and .deploy extensions. The problem is I coudn't find exactly what are the required MIME settings for these extensions in Beta 2. From the documentation it seems: .application -> application/x-ms-application .manifest -> application/x-ms-application .deploy -> application/octet-stream Can somebody confirm this Regards, Valentin Iliescu After searching a few other posts here, I found one that suggested to clear IE's cache and reboot. This works. ...Show All

• .NET Development Code Access Security and Web applications

  Whilst I understand the good ideals behind CAS I'm a little puzzled about the real life use. So I've got a web site running under a specific identity that has the properly restricted ACLs. It uses my site that I've written. My site uses other components that I've written. For any of the features to work they need a valid session key that is maintained on every call. At no time does it use any 3rd party code. All the code (bar the site itself) is strongly named. So where's the risk It seems to me that the risk is that someone can install a component that executes my code, well I maybe naive but I trust my machine administrator not to do that. ...Show All
