• Visual Studio Team System Can't view reports from Team Explorer - "403 Forbidden"

  Continuing the saga first encountered here: http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=4815 I am logged in as TFSSETUP, ensured that TFSSETUP has full permissions to the report site, but I'm unable to view the same reports within VSTS Team Explorer. When I click on any report, I get a "403 Forbidden" error. We've been able to clear up some of our 403 issues with creating projects (Rosetta issue getting a 403) and with viewing reports from the Reports/ site, via disabling anonymous access. Any suggestions on where to look to clear this up Regards, Michael Shorten mshorten@olenick.com To get single-server installation to wor ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I Add Single Back Slashes to a String in Visual Studio 2005

  I have a string that reads "hello.world", and what I would like to do is to change this to "hello\.world" so that I can use it in a regular expression and have the period used as a period - rather than as a wildcard (which it is in a regular expression) The problem occurs when I try to add a single backslash Example Code: string s = "hello.world"; char ch = (char)0x5C; s += ch; result: s = "hello.world\\"; --------- string s = "hello.world"; s = s.Replace(".", @"\."); result: s = "hello\\.world"; --------------- string s = "hello.world&q ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ICredentialProvider

  Did anybody make a successful user logon using the new ICredentialProvider interface My credentials are displayed, but I can't make them to logon. And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft. ...Show All

• .NET Development xmldocument.validate() wont work !

  Well I ve seen many examples with xml validation against xml schemas using the .NET classes but I got 1 question to which I cant find an answer in any tutorial or FAQ. Every example assumes that we have our xml into a file and our xsd into another and that we want to validate while reading/parsing. Well that is working indeed, using the XmlReaderSettings/XMLReader solution. Another case is to use the XmlValidatingReader class which takes into account the schemaLocation attribute. However you have to use a reader again. What if we want to build an in-memory DOM (XmlDocument) for example : < xml version='1.0' > <query xmlns="htt ...Show All
