• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) System.ServiceModel not listed in Visual Studio Add Reference

  I've noticed on several systems that after upgrading to the WinFX Feb CTP, System.ServiceModel.dll no longer appears in Visual Studio's Add References dialog (.NET tab). A gacutil /l shows that System.ServiceModel.dll is indeed in the GAC, but for some reason VS doesn't want to list it for Add References. The same thing seems to have happened to other WCF assemblies such as System.Runtime.Serialization. Does anyone know why this behavior occurs, and what can be done about it Running a reapir on the WinFX install hasn't helped, and this same symptom has been observed on multiple machines. David I saw couple of questions o ...Show All

• .NET Development Why is Thread.Name a write-once property?

  In my application, I have run into an InvalidOperationException when I did try to re-assign the Thread.Name property. Looking at the doc, it says that this property is write-once. Can someone tell me why For me this constraint is just annoying (the workaround is easy but painfull). Thanks in advance, Joannes Actually, there is no constraint (at least no constraint specified in the doc) about the time when the Thread.Name can be set. Therefore the Thread.Name can be set at any time (at the middle of its execution) and confuse whatever debugging tools that rely on it. Is there something that I have missed in ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server Express Security?

  We are releasing an application built on SQL Server Express in the next few months.  Our clients are mostly small companies with little technical knowledge, and they will be using our application on desktop computers where everyone likely logs in as the same user.  As such, my thinking is that we setup SQL Server Express as in SQL Server Authentication mode.  This way they could select an Administrator password upon first installation, and manage user names and passwords from within the application itself.  Any thoughts   Also, how would we install this scenario   We haven't been able to figure out how to custo ...Show All
