• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How to use negociateServiceCredential="false" ?

  Hi, This question is related to a previous post that didn't get any answer yet (certainly because of timezone ). In wsHttpBinding I'm trying to use a message security without any negociation (I want to avoid any SPNego, TLSNego and BinaryExchange stuff). My STS will handle the messages from the HttpHandler level so I don't have any framework for this. Everything will have to be written from scratch. How is it possible to use negociateServiceCredential="false" and specify my own credential (Symmetric encryption would be ok use 3DES for ex.). I tried setting this value to false but I couldn't find what are the others attribu ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Inport Wizard does not import dates...is this a bug?

  I have an Excel file with 52000 records. One of the columns is a date column d-mmm-yy. This column is NULL-able. Approximately 12,000 records have a value on this column. I started the wizard, and it happens to be that the first record containing a date on this column is record 11,012. However, the wizar imports NONE of the values, and the column shows NULL in all records. Now, if I sort first the data in the Excel spreadsheet so that some records with this date show up at the top then the records are exported correctly. In my opinion, this is a bug that will stop me to use for using at my department. Please let me know your ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Move Event for a FrameworkElement?

  I'm trying to detetct a change in the position (ie Canvas.Left Canvas.Top)  property of a few FW elements.

• Visual Studio Team System Attempting to get the HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages, asp.net unit test.

  I am running ASP.net unit tests against a class that lives in a virtual directory in IIS. In the class, there are references to the HTTPContext object.
