• Visual Studio Express Editions Registering Express Edition on 2 Computers

  Hi. I installed the Express Editions at work.  I then went to each product's Help menu, and clicked the "Register Product..." item.  I logged in with my Passport, verified my information, and received a Product Key that I pasted into the Registration Form. Sometime later, I installed the Express Editions on my PC at home.  I also went to each product's Help menu and clicked the "Register Product..." item.  From home, I logged in with my Passport, but instead of being taken to a Product Key that I could enter on the Registration Form, I was taken directly to the page that thanks everyone for registering. I am NOT using the ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Custom Activities don't appear in the toolbox when activity library project is in Solution folder

  Hi I have a custom activity library. If I put it into a solution folder and rebuild my custom activities disappear from the toolbox of my workflows. I have the activity project referenced. Deleting and readding the project reference doesn't help. Putting the activity project in the same solution folder as the workflows doesn't help. If I move the project out of the solution folder to be directly under the solution and rebuild the activities reappear. The workflow projects can be in solution folders as long as the activity library isn't. This is occuring in the Feb Winfx CTP, can someone let me know if this has been fixed in Beta 2.2 or is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sourcesafe Internet Plug-In and Shadow folders

  I recently setup Sourcesafe 2005 with the internet access so an employ can telecommute. Everything seems to be working fine except when a file is checked in using the internet plug-in, the file does not get copied to the shadow folder. The shadow folder is setup correctly. If you check in a file using a LAN connection in Visual Sourcesafe Explorer, the file copies correctly to the shadow folder. It is only when using the internet plug-in that it does not copy to the shadow folder. Has anyone else come across this problem before I am not seeing this repro when I tried it. Are you shadowing the entire d ...Show All

I am getting the handles for the browsers objects by enumerating using the Interop call: [DllImport("user32.Dll")] public static extern int EnumWindows(IECallBack x, int y); This is working fine and I am able to both the IEFrame and the "Internet Explorer_Server" window handles.

• Visual C++ Console Programs in Visual C++ 2005

  Here's the problem ... with new and frustrating behavior in the 2005 version of Visual C++. In the 2003 version, when Ctrl+F5 is pressed to compile, link and run a simple console program, the compile/link/run sequence takes place and a console window opens to show the running program.This is fine and has worked well for years. Now, all of a sudden, in Visual Studio 2005, when the same sequence is followed, pressing Ctrl+F5 causes the entire screen to go completely blank (and black) and stay that way until the program actually starts to run. In other words, it is impossible to follow the progress of any of the compile, link and run steps ...Show All

• Windows Forms Test Certificate Signing problem

  Hi, I have created a test certificate using VS 2005 and installed it in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities and Trusted Publishers. I have set my manifests to be signed by this certificate. Then I am publishing it into an intranet zone ie http://<machinename>/<appname> When i try to download the application from the same machine, I get a "The publisher could not be verified" prompt, and the publisher name is coming as "Unkown Publisher". Is this a bug, because I have the certificate installed on the same machine, even if I get the prompt why am I getting an "Unkown Publisher" as the publisher name Thanks, Kunal ...Show All

• Visual Studio AS 2005 server report data source with Windows identity impersonation

  To implement role based security in AS, I need the for the authenticated user identity to flow from the Web browser to RS to AS. RS and AS are on separate servers. For a SQL Server datasource, I can simply use stored credentials and select the option to impersonate the authenticated user. For AS, I am getting rsErrorImpersonatingUser and "non-Windows user credentials were supplied for a non-http connection to Analysis Services" from RS. This seems to suggest using HTTP with AS datasources. However, the environment is an intranet with single logon authenticated users, ruling out forms security and AS over HTTP.  Kerberos is not available ...Show All

• SQL Server DBO Thing Doesn't Appear by Table Name

  Hi, we are trying to simply import an existing MS Access 2003 table to MS SQL.  I've gone through the export routine (the "upsizing" wizard in Access), but my Coldfusion app does not recognize the resultant MS SQL table as a real database object.  It doesn't even include DBO next to the table name like all the other "real" tables that were made directly from within MS SQL.  Is there something else I'm supposed to do   Thanks - and yes, I'm new at this. ;) You can post your response here but feel free to drop me a direct reply at my website (which should hopefully be included in this message).
