• Smart Device Development Active Sync 3.8 not synching

  Hello to all,  I have upgrade activesync from version 3.7.1 to 4.0 in order to deploy my application in VS2005 beta2 to the device. After doing that, activesync stops to work: although the AS icon show connection (green) when the PDA is in the cradle, is is not possible to get the main screen of activesync ; and, when trying to explore the device, I get the following error window:  " Critical communications services have failed to start . Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again".   To get worse, I have uninstalled AS 4.0 and went back to version 3.7.1. The problem still is there! In fact, I have tried (wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sharepoint Permissions

  I know this thread has been widely discussed in the forum but I couldn't find a solution yet. I followed step by step the single-server installation guide but when I try to create a new project I always get the same error saying I need to be an administrator of SharePoint. I'm using an active directory user that is member of the administrators group (all of them). If I try to access SharePoint Central Administration I just can't log in so I can't add members to SharePoint services administrator group. It seems like if the administrator is not allowed!!! I tried to access also with the TFSSETUP user to ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Properties of Workflow in Designer

  I think from the previous threads I somewhat figured out that properties that you add to your workflow (e.g. from SequentialWorkflowActivity ) are not of the same "kind" as those are that you add to your Activity (e.g. from SequenceActivity ). While the latter show up in the designer's property-editor, those of the workflow do not. With activities I can have any sort of properties, even in categories, that I define Category attribute. With the workflow itself I can also program properties, use them along the workflow, even set them via a dictionary... but they never show up in the designer. Background is, that I would like to ha ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Module

  Hello, I am working on a program that uses a lot of subs and functions, so I wanted to bring those together in 1 single module file. Now I did this (see code), but I noticed that it compiles the module with my app, and it doesn't compile it to an dll as I want to. Anyone here knows how to solve this because it is important that I can 'update' the file just by replacing my module dll by a new one. Here is the code I'm using: Module modules Public Sub SetSettings() E nd Sub Public Sub GetSettings() End Sub Public Sub cfu( ByVal flag As Integer ) Select Case flag Case 0 Try My .Computer.Network.DownloadFile( ...Show All

• SQL Server Management Studio timeout problem when querying large table

  Hi, I have SQL Server Dev 2005 and I'm pulling my hair out due to timeouts when using the Criteria pane to query a large table. The timeout occurs after approximately 32 seconds. I have changed all the timeout settings I can find/think of: Server Query wait time of 59 seconds (has been much higher but made no difference) Query execution timeout of 0 Designers | Analysis Service Designers | General | Query timeout = 0 Connection timeout = 0 Connection and execution settings on database are 0 I would expect the query to return around 50 rows from over 1,000,000 but I get: SQL Execution Error Timeout expired.

• Visual C# Is it ok to reuse the designer in my app?

  Hi all, I'm currently working with exposing parts of the designer in my app, purely as a visual way to express things like location and size for objects. I'm not trying to recreate the ide or anything, just provide a convenient way of altering an object's properties visually. I have a toolbox which contains my primitive objects, and a design surface which hosts those objects. I have all the goodness of custom properties and type designers working smoothly. Before I go too far out of the alpha stage, I'd like to be sure that I can legally do so. I've tried to read the legal things, but I just don't grok (Yes, I read the book when I was youn ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Not Ready for Prime time...not even close...

  I hate to say this but TFS has to be the worst application install I have ever seen. The documentation is lacking and the entire thing feels like a kludge. I cannot imagine this being ready any time soon. Many of the same bugs I saw in previous versions are still there. Just bad. After 7 reinstall attempts (because of many different reasons...one of which was that the TFS accounts ALL need to currently be admins or it wont work!) I finally got it to work. But only when I went with an ActiveDirectory structure would it work. No way would it work properly in a work group. Now after slaving to get it working, I find that it has bad performance ...Show All

• SQL Server Decomposing an XML Document into a table of path and values

  Suppose that you had an XML Document like: <a>1<b>2<c>3</c>4</b><d>5</d>6</a> What would be the best way to decompose it such that you end up with a table like: XPath Value /a 123456 /a/b 234 /a/b/c 3 /a/d 6 I eventually want to join this table with another table that has XPath values in a column. Thanks, Wells Here is one solution: declare @x xml set @x = '<a>1<b>2<c>3</c>4</b><d>5</d>6</a>' select n . query ( ' for $node in . return for $i in //*[some $j in ./des ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Similar attribute to [XmlElement, typeof] in DataMember

  Hi Is there similar to [ XmlElement (ElementName = "MyCommand" , Type = typeof ( Command1 ))] [ XmlElement (ElementName = "MyAnotherCommand" , Type = typeof ( Command2 ))] public Command [] Commands{} in DataMember Thanks in advance Javier Well, not exactly. With KnownType, you will still get the same element names for Command1 and Command2, but you'll still be able to use both types (they'll be distinguished using the xsi:type attribute on the wire). Changing element names at runtime based on the type is a schema "choice" construct, something ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Mixed credentials: Username & Certificate

  Greetings, Our services will be exposed on the Internet. Only specific partners applications should be able to have access to them. At the same time, the partners applications users will need to be authenticated & authorized by our services. We will use role-based security to authorize them. The reason why we need a double validation using a certificate for each application is because we don't want anybody on the internet to be able to query those services directly (that includes our users having usr/pwd credentials who could try to pull the services content from their own app). We want to make sure only "known" applications ...Show All
