• Visual C++ Controlling settings for all the vc8 projects from a common place.

  Hi, Issue: Controlling settings for all the vc8 projects from a common place.    I have heard about property sheet for vc. Can anyone explore about property sheet for VC In VS2005 MS has provided MSBuild but it is not supporting VC projects. Thanks in advance. Regards, Madhur To inherit from a property sheet, switch to the Property Manager window and select all projects / configurations you want to have the same properties, right-click, and choose to inherit from a property sheet. In answer to your second question, you can automate the upgrade process using vcbuild.exe. Type "vcbuild / " at the command-line for mo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Client application authentication?

  I realize that .Net 2.0 does not provide client application authentication and was wondering if WCF/Indigo addresses this issue in any way Thanks, Ray Manning Sounds pretty trivial , just use the assembly names as users. Use custom Token as you security and say proxy.UserName = assembly.Name proxy.Password = something excrypted on the client which the server know. Or part of the assembly signing. The server will reject you if the proxy does not provide this. Any such structure will always be insecure by definition ( replay attacks , cracking) ... but if more strong security is you ...Show All

  Hi. I've developed an application for transfering files between a client a server. There is a remotable object in server hosted in IIS which has a method named "UploadFile". Client portion is a Windows Application project which gets a reference to the remotable object and calls "UploadFile" to send a file to the server. File is sent by being broken into many chunks sent sequentialy. I've a class named "FileData" which encapuslates a Stream object. So, to send a file to the server, I instantiate the Stream object using the path provided and use the FileData object to the server. I receive the following erro ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions convert from byte to int

  hello, how can i convert in c# from byte (like 50) to int i try to do this code, but it didn't convert!!!: for ( int i=3;i<14;i++) Data += (( int ) e.Buffer ).ToString(); thank you, moria byte implicitly converts to int. You do not need to cast the byte if you add it to an int. int nVal = 10; byte byVal = 50; nVal = nVal + byVal; // nVal will be 10+50=60 If Data is of type int you can write it like Data += e.Buffer( i ); If you would like to visualise that there is a cast happening you can write it like this Data += (int)e.Buffer( i ); ...Show All
