• Windows Forms Authentication with a WebService through WindowsForms

  I know that I can either use SOAP Authentication or just regular Authentication in ASP.NET to do this and I'd probably rather just keep it simple and use Authentication in ASP.NET, but honestly, I have no clue how to pass them along when I call a WebMethod from my WindowsForms app.  Anybody have any links to articles on this sort of thing&nbs ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Special caracters in workitems

  How do I use special caracters (caoae) within workitems I've tried to use them directly or through HTML encode (&ccedil;&atilde;) but neither way worked. I was getting the same problem with ProcessTemplate.xml but I added the encoding="ISO-8859-1" and it passed. The workitem definition files doesn't have the <XML> tag, so I can not change the encode. Thks, Max Andrade As I understand, you're talking about using special characters in the work item type definitions, correct If so, I would recommend you to use the XML editor that is built into the VS - it handles such situations correctly an ...Show All

• SQL Server Error 7391 in Linked Server

  Hi, I was making a linked server connection between SQL Server 2000 and Oracle 8.1.5 (both running on Windows 2000 Server), and I was creating an insert trigger in one of the SQL Server table to insert the same value to the Oracle table. But when I try to make an insert to the table, the following error occurred : Server: Msg 7391, Level 16, State 1, Procedure <triggername>, Line xx The operation could not be performed because the OLE DB provider 'MSDAORA' was unable to begin a distributed transaction.

• Visual C++ application trying to link to MSVCP80.dll inspite of /MT compiler option

  Hi I am using Visual Studio 2005 professional on Windows XP x64 bit version. I am trying to create  a dll (say X ) which links statically to CRT libraries. For that I am using /MT option. But still when my console application .exe file tries to load it, I get the message - "This application failed to start as MSVCP80.dll could not be found".  If I copy it into the directory  it asks for MSVCR80.dll. And if I copy that too it gives an error - It is strange that another DLL Y works loads fine. Also i used depends.exe and i found that DLL X depends upon MSVCP80.dll and MSVCR80.dll while DLL Y does not. The c ...Show All

• Visual Basic Puzzled about Missing Picturebox ???

  I hate to ask really dumb questions but this is going to be a dumb one.   I’ve written perhaps 10,000 lines of VB 2005 to replicate a superset of the functions + of the old Ms Office toolbar. This has been a learning project. I really love VS2005! This project is actually in good shape and I’m putting the finishing touches on it.   Everyonce in a while I hit upon a snafu and I really feel stupid.   The toolbar is a toolstrip that is contained in a toolstrip container. The toolstrip container is parented by the main form which also is the parent control. It works fine now through it many modes and various geometri ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Emulator can't connect to web service

  I thought this would be a simple conversion from VS 2003, but we have an issue we need help figuring out. We have a 2.0 web service and a pocket pc application that needs to connect and use its web methods. Problem is, we get "WebException" when trying to connect. The application worked just fine when it was running under the VS 2003 IDE and emulator. Before blaming the conversion process, we made a new sample application and sample web service to test the issue and have the same problem. This seems to occur both on local machines and remote servers. The error occurs when a call to a web method is made. Any idea ...Show All

• SQL Server Scripting Roles and role rights

  Is it possible to script roles and their detailed dimension/cube rights easily Why I ask is that In converting cubes from 2000 to 2005, some dimensions have been a pain to port, and removing/adding them to a cube results in having to re-create the cube security (not dimension security). Reverse engineering the roles to a script only creates a command to add the role, not to add the role to the cubes. What would be nice would be a way to reverse engineer all the components of a role, the role itself and the cube/dimension based security rights, and to be able to run that script as needed. Permissions for specific cube/dimension ...Show All
