• 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

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Unable to Reference office.dll in VS 2005 project

  I have created an Outlook addin in VS 2003 and wanted to port it over to VS 2005 and .net 2.0; however, I dont seem to be able to reference the office.dll in the project in vs2005. It is properly registered in the GAC and is still visible from VS2003. Even when I point directly to the dll it doesnt seem to recognize it. When I compile the code I get the following error: Error 1 The type 'Microsoft.Office.Core.CommandBars' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.

• .NET Development System.DateTime.Now accuracy in .Net 2.0

  I would if any improvement have been made in term of accuracy for the System.DateTime.Now property With .Net 1.1, this timer did have a very low accuracy, about 10~20ms, that is two orders of magnitude worse than the accuracy that you get with the mono implementation. Does someone know if this issue have been resolved with .Net 2.0 Thanks in advance, Joannes Joannes, thanks for the query. We will investigate this issue in the next versions of the framework. The likelihood that we can change this is pretty low to be honest, but it's worth having a look. The honest truth is that if you need supra accuracy, ...Show All

• Windows Forms printing text

  I am trying to print a text file and am using the examples provided by Visual Studio. The following line calculates the number of lines per page in the PrintPage eventhandler: lpp = ev.MarginBounds.Height / printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics); The problem is that lpp calculates a number of lines but the printer is printing past the margins and I miss 2-3 lines per page. If I subtract 4 from lpp this works but why isn't the calculation correct The event is listed below: //Event fired for each page to print private void pd_PrintPage( object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ev) { float ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) foreach or yield on a 'stream' instead of an IList?

  I'm a recent exile from Java land and would like to know the following for C# (2.0 ... can't use LINQ in production yet :( ): What is the best way to not just iterate through a list, but keep track of new entries to it and 'process' those as wel.  In other words, I would like to do something like this: foreach(Data d in myList) Console.WriteLine(d.somevalue); The above line will just go through the list and display the 'somevalue' attribute of the list.  I want the foreach loop to keep 'listening' to 'myList' and each time a new value is added, WriteLine that as well. The reason I"m posting this in the LINQ forum is because I wo ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC Data Source

  I am new to SSIS packages and want to use an ODBC data source connected to an old Btrieve set of data files. I set up the ODBC DSN, and my SQL Server Data Connection, and can browse the tables in the Server Explorer. However with regards to my SSIS package, I'm not sure whether to use an OLE DB Source or Data Reader Source. I have futzed with both of them but haven't had any luck at seeing the tables. Can someone please give me some tips. Thanks, Carson Carson, Use the OLE DB Source. That's generally regarded as the default option and, I think, will be quicker than datareader source. -Jamie ...Show All
