• SQL Server Encryption and database restore

  Hi Can anyone help I have a database using encryption with symmetric keys created using asymmetric keys. I backed up this database and restored it on another machine along with the service master key. I can read the encrypted data fine. But all the encrypted stored procs that are associated with the application that uses the data cannot read the data, they just return Nulls. If I regenerate all the encrypted stored procs from script they work fine again. Is there a way to restore the database without having to regenerate all the encrypted procs You are probably missing this sequence after ...Show All

• Visual Basic porting from GWbasic to visual basic

  hi,       is it possible to convert code of GWbasic in to visual basic if yes then how i also agree on non GUI porting if not possible with GUI. please help me. thanks. I'm thinking that the language is basic but you are moving to an event driven model in most cases so you may be able to reuse some of you program logicusing simple cut/paste but anything that deals with user interface, input/out is going to need to be reworked and the fact that VB works in an event driven model and GWBasic doesn't means you may just end up rewritting you code and simply cut/paste and modify appropriate bits where necess ...Show All

• .NET Development Reflection.Emit issue

  I am using Emit to instrument applications in the following way, I create a dynamic assembly, and replicate all the uninstrumented methods verbatim, and instrumentated stubs that call them. I replicate the method by interpreting the source msil data, and calling appropriate Emit overloads to generate the new method. This works very simply as long as the original and replicated code sizes are the same which they should be; i.e. no fixups required on branches - just copy the operands verbatim. I have hit a problem with exception blocks though. I use ilgenerator.BeginException, BeginCatch etc at the appropriate points (from Excepti ...Show All

• Windows Forms Oh, the magic that the Tab key does (focus)

  [Using VS2005 Beta2...] The FocusRectangle is a very fickle thing. Create a form with two buttons on it. Create a KeyPress event for the form that cycles focus between the two buttons (turn on KeyPreview for the form): private void Form1_KeyPress( object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {   if (button1.Focused)   {     button2.Focus();   }   else   {     button1.Focus();   } }   If you press any key other than the Tab key focus will cycle between the two buttons without ever showing the dotted FocusRectangle. Now hit the Tab key and the nifty FocusRectangle sho ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Need recommendation on Office/VBA/.NET/C# solution (cross-posting from the VSTO Forum)

  ****** The reason that I am cross-posting this from the VSTO froum is to reach the widest expert base. Thanks. ****** We want to move logic currently in Word XP VBA to C# component(s). What the VBA code basically does is calling Web Services that are implemented in Java, and display the returned data in Word documents. Our requirements are: improved performance easiness to install the components on end-user's PC's ability to be shared the components across all the products in the Office suite After doing some reading, there seem to be 2 solutions to me: Register the C# components as plain-vanilla COM objects using COM interop and call ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB6/VBA question: execute a string as code

  Hi all, I am working on an Excel project with huge amount of VBA classes and modules. My question is how can I execute a line like: Dim tmp as Variant Call ExecuteLine("Set tmp = New " + ClassName) ' Where ClassName is a string of a certain class name Since the number of classes are large and there are new classes being inserted constantly, it would be very nice to have this two lines of code rather than many lines of Switch-Case. I searched from web, there is one approach of using VBA6.dll function "EbExecuteLine". However I'd like to avoid using it since: 1. I failed calling the library; 2. I believe I canno ...Show All

• .NET Development Programmatically creating a PPTP/L2TP server-side session via ASP.NET?

  I have a need to monitor and accept a PPTP or L2TP connection from a remote VPN client and dynamically create a VPN session just for that client.  What's a good approach to this problem  Perhaps I've overlooked a Win32 call, but I think I'm going to need an end-run manipulation of address books or other non-obvious methods.  I need to implement this in ASP.NET.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MDX 2.0 FrameHierarchy problem...

  Hello everyone, I'm playing around with MDX 2.0 and while converting my code from MDX 1.1, I suddenly got an error while trying to load a FrameHierarchy from an .x-file. I've adjusted the code according to the changes in the api and the code compiles just fine, but when it tries to call the Mesh.LoadHierarchy method, it gives me a DirectXException. The ExceptionHelper doesn't really live up to it's name in this case as it offered me no further understanding and I can't find any information on the internet either. Does anyone know if I have to change something in the code to adjust to MDX 2.0 or if there's some kind of bug with this method si ...Show All
