• .NET Development Remotely accessing system certificate stores

  I am developing a C application to use SSL/TLS.  Using the samples provided by MS, I have been generally successful.  I am using a stand-alone CA at this time.  I have been able to run my server and client with a SSL connection on the same machine as well as 2 separate machines.  However, to get this to work I have had to install the certificates on the machine on which the program is running.  The issue that continues to "dog" me is how to get "remote system store access" to work.  When I open the certificate store I am constructing \\<machine name>\My, but the opening of the certificate store only works ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Source control reports

  Hi, There are a lot of built-in reports available in Team Project. Surprisingly, none of them provides reporting for source control. For instance, I will need to see what files have been checked-in during specific day, who made the check-ins, what files are still checked out and who made it, and so on. How can I get those reports Regards, James. Here is a link to a blog where someone made a report based on the source control data: http://steven.wilssens.net/DataMiningWithTeamSystemAndMicrosoftOfficeExcel2003.aspx You can query things that were presisted to the server: 1. what are ...Show All

• Smart Device Development barcode scanner

  can i use a barcode scanner in the emulator what should i do You can if you find a way to connect it to emulator. Emulator has serial ports mapped to PC ports, that's pretty much the only the way to go - with serial port model. The problem here is: if it’s not the actual scanner you’re going to use, it won't do you any good. You’ll need actual hardware for development and testing eventually. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions SQL Express Local and Remote database

  did anyone try... are there any samples.. for this.. i would create aplication with local database, but in code on runtime it should change connection string and connect to remote database.... is this possible The Data Sources generated by the wizard are hard-wired to the connection strings in config file. I don't know whether you can change this programmatically at run time. At least it isn't obvious. This is also why I hate using data sources generated through the designer. I think the way to go is to create a new data source for your BindingSource when your app is not running locally. I'll see if I can locate a code example. ...Show All
