• Windows Live Developer Forums Contest Participant Document

         Hi!!!        I was wondering if it is possible for all participants of “The World’s Best App” contest to have a document that acknowledges that we participated in this event, even if they (or we) did not win one of the prizes.   You know, just a memento or something that we can brag about with, say, our grandchildren or Human Resource Head Hunters. I wonder if the winners have been announced... I'm in a business trip and I forgot to set my personal email in my laptop... I don't know if I am one of the lucky guys to win a copy of the Visual Studio 2005 ...Show All

• Visual Studio ReferencePath vbproj.user options

  On 01-19-2006, Faisal Mohamood (Program Manager|Visual Studio - MSBuild) said the following: >> A standard visual studio project will automatically import the user file into itself via the Microsoft.Common.targets - so all you have to do is drop the file next to the main project file. As an experiment, try this: Go to project properties page, and specify a reference path for the project, and save the project. You should then be able to see a .csproj.user or .vbproj.user file saved out by Visual Studio. Reference Paths is an example of customization that Visual Studio treats as a user specific property.<< We use the .user fi ...Show All

• .NET Development Limiting listening socket to a range of available port numbers

  I am very close to completing implementation of my FTPS server and client software. One final issue deals with firewalls and NAT. Under SSL the firewall does not provide the normal "assistance" to FTP command channel, such as tweaking NAT, and temporarily opening PASV data ports, which may otherwise be blocked. I have dealt with the NAT issue (each configured listen IP can have a configured "external" IP declared) but now the PORT issue is biting me. I have a couple of ideas. 1) I am thinking I could reserve a range of port numbers based on server configuration. The firewall admin would open those. Problem is I know how to listen o ...Show All
