• .NET Development SignedXML Object creation

  I want to create my own signedxml object.  The current object does not handle many things that I need it to do currently.  Inheritance unfortunately still hides much of what I need to do modify.  So how does the inner workings of the signedXML object actually work   Articles or tutorials in making it work would be very helpful.  I do not need the standard signedxml stuff as I have already tried these.  I am still having trouble with the namespace prefixs and a need canoncalization algorithm which is not supported byt the 1.1 version of the signedXML.  If you know an easier way of doing the follow please t ...Show All

• .NET Development Application updating itself

  Does anyone know what technique(s) programs like EverQuest, Norton AntiVirus, etc. utilizes to update themselves They certainly are not using ClickOnce, and unless you are an administrator or power user, programs don't normally have write permission to the Program Files path. Richard Rosenheim EQ and NAV indeed do not use ClickOnce. Basically, the applications poll the server to see if an update is necessary. If so they download the patch and apply it.

• Visual Studio Orchestration Features

  Hi Gareth, Thanks for your response to the text templating query. Can you please provide an overview of what the is planned to be included in the orchestration feature area Cheers Susan As program manager specifying these features, Gareth asked me to respond to this. We expect that for serious projects there'll be many, many text templates generating even more files. There will likely be dependencies between templates. For example templates can be chained, so that the output of one template may provide the input to another; the order in which templates are applied matters. In addition, the same template ...Show All

• SQL Server Merge Replication - native exception

  Hi! Here are the details: - Merge replication is set up between SQL Server 2000 SP3 <-> SQL CE clients - It is expected for the system to have 100-150 PDA users - About 80-90 tables are being replicated. About half of the tables are for documents  that PDA users create. These tables have to be filtered by SUSER_SNAME() to minimize data transfered and not to allow users to see each others documents. For filtering we used join filters (now there is about 30-40 join filters) - Tables shared by users have GUID primary key, while other tables have identity columns. System seemed to work fine when number of tables ...Show All

• Windows Forms MDI Maximized children forms without controlbox?

  MDI Maximized children forms without controlbox I have been searching the web and everywhere I asked the question, the answer is that it is a Microsoft Bug. Well instead of telling me that it is a bug, how do I fix this My situation: I have a parent form (frmMain), a welcome/startup (or background) form (frmWelcome) and other child forms for data capturing. The idea is that when the program runs, the welcome form is displayed and stays displayed as a type of "background page", displaying outstanding jobs and other system info. All forms, when opened, must be maximized, thus eliminating the need for the minimize box or maximize box but s ...Show All
