• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Soliciting community feedback: ClickOnce and permission elevation prompts in the internet zone

  In the CTP and Betas of .NET 2.0, any ClickOnce-deployed application that desired elevated permissions was only allowed to prompt if the application were Authenticode-signed. Were such an application not signed, the deployment would simply fail. Subsequently, with the RTM release of .NET 2.0, this decision was reversed. Now, any ClickOnce application deployed from the Internet zone can prompt for permission elevation. Ostensibly, this would enable hobbyists, community apps and open-source projects to be able to publish their applications without spending the time and resources on Authenticode-signing. Given that Clic ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to add an assembly reference to a web project?

  I am trying to automatically add an assembly reference to “myassembly.dll” to user’s project from my Visual Studio addin. The addin setup program adds the necessary registry key in order to display “myassembly.dll” in Visual Studio’s “Add Reference” dialog box. After that in VS 2003 I could used the References property of VSProject interface to add this assembly to the user’s project as shown below. VSProject.References.Add(“myassembly.dll”); This works even in VS 2005 regular projects. But web projects do not support VSProject interface. Therefore I used the VSWebSite interface found in VsWebSite.Interop.dll. So now I have ...Show All

• .NET Development Performance test - Web Services vs. .NET Remoting

  Against any sources I have found so far the Web Services with XML and SOAP seems to be a little faster than .NET Remoting with TcpChannel.

• Visual C++ _bstr_t question

  How do I do case conversion for _bstr_t Are there any functions available I looked up MSDN, did not find much help there. Appreciate any help, S _bstr_t exists mainly to provide conversion between ANSI and Unicode strings. It doesn't do much else, you'd have to take the string in whatever format you want and put it into a string wrapper that does tolower, toupper, etc. From memory, std::string needs a function object to do this, but CString will do it. ...Show All
