• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Problems with BSM

  Hi! Now we're trying to deploy a BSM-project. There're some comments and maybe questions. First of all I want to notice bad work with localized systems. English version of BSM requests 1033-folders. But russian version of SharePoint doesn't contain this folder (only 1049). As result some pages looks incorrectly (e.g. there's a problem with css in the page filter editor). The second problem is that the page filter doesn't work with members, which contains quotes. "There is a problem rendering this control". And not long ago we found out one more problem. Members with commas lose information before comma on scorecard. ...Show All

• .NET Development Binary file I/O - use FileStream Class or BinaryReader/Writer?

  I am doing binary byte oriented File I/O. with non-sequential access. I started using BinaryReader and BinaryWriter Classes. I soon discovered that those classes don't apparently do Seek etc. so I switched to using the FileStream Class. I cannot see much advantage in using BinaryReader/BinaryWriter when I can do everything I need to do with FileStream. When would it be beneficial to use BinaryReader/BinaryWriter and not the FileStream class Thanks, David Harrison yeah, since most of your access will be just reading and writing large sections of bytes its probably easier to use the stream directly ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro _screen.ContinuousScroll problem

  I noticed this problem just this morning after spending many hundred hours debugging my app for the past few months when everything worked just fine. This is the setup which is hardly unusual. There is a function in a prg file and a Click method that calls it. There are a couple of print statements like: "coimng out of the function: "+numeric_id and such in the function(s) and one in the Click method. All output is character strings. The button is clicked many times during the debug. I get only one line of output out of the function but the rest of it is overlapping this first line no matter where it is coming from. The ...Show All

• .NET Development SslStream client authentication fails

  I have set up a client and server app for testing SslStream. Connecting and authentication works fine as long as a client certificate is not requested. When I call AuthenticateAsServer with the clientCertificateRequired parameter set to true, authentication fails. In the RemoteCertificateValidationCallback (on the server) the sslPolicyErrors parameter has a value of SslPolicyErrors.RemoteCertificateNotAvailable, the certificate and chain parameters are null. Debugging the client I am sure that I am passing a non-null certificate. I used MakeCert to create this client certificate signed by the same test authority that was used for the serve ...Show All
