  I'm attempting to secure a webservice with an SSL cert. And the question is, how can I get a c# app, or a device to trust specific types of certificates Is there somewhere that I can do this in setup, or is this restricted to code... Thanks! Hello, You should add the certificate to the CA (Certification Authority) database on your device. See more info here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us ...Show All

• SQL Server FOR XML AUTO broken in 2005

  Re: http://www.devnewsgroups.net/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.xml/topic32700.aspx I'm having exactly the same problem, although I'm writing queries that need to run on both SQL 2000 and 2005. I cannot believe this isn't a bug. Although I understand the logic behind the results I cannot accept the results in 2005 are correct.

• Windows Forms How to remove the first column from datagridview?

Check out the RowHeadersVisible property. -mark DataGridView Program Manager Microsof ...Show All

• Visual C++ STL/CLR verifiable??

Putting the resulting program through peverify results in an error as ByRef cannot be a return type (only locals and arguments). Example code: #include <cliext/vector> using namespace System; using namespace cliext; int main( array <String ^> ^args) ...Show All

• .NET Development Best Practice for making DB connection available to components

  Since I haven't seen any tutorials/documentation on this subject, I am probably missing something obvious.  Any hints would be appreciated. Simplifying the situation a bit, I have a library of data objects (SalesOrder, Customer, Shipment, etc.  compiled in a dll) that I would like to make available to both desktop and ASP.NET applications.  Each of these objects needs access to a database connection, and I figure that the "host" a ...Show All

  If I add mail merge data fields into a header on a document and then iterate the merge field collection, the collection does not contain the merge fields I placed in the document header.

• Visual Studio Team System Add classification field to Bug work item type

  The functionality in Team System that allows developers and testers to create, track and manage Bug work items will be extremely useful, but there is no way to classify or report on what types of bugs are present in the system. It would be very beneficial to teams if the VSTS team could add a bug "type" classification field to Bug work item type to allow classification of and reporting on different types of bugs. This would allow the team to rep ...Show All
