• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Passing a token between services and InfoCard

  I would like to use InfoCard to authenticate and acquire a token on one channel and then I would like to create a second channel and pass the token I acquired in the first channel to it so that I am not prompted by InfoCard again. Something like this (pseudocode). Is this possible or would it by nature invalidate the token All of my services require the same claims, and my application calls into multiple services, so I want to get the token once and reuse it for each service. I thought about using InfoCardClient.GetToken(), but I'm not sure what to do with the resulting GenericXmlSecurityToken. How can I tell a channel to use it // Host my ...Show All

• SQL Server Duplicate Dimension Members

  Hi everyone, In AS 2000, some of the dimensions I was using had both the key & the name of the dimension as the same text field (dimTable.name).  This grouped duplicate dimension members together.  Browsing the dimension only showed unique members. In SSAS, my understanding is you need a key attribute that links to the fact table, or another reference dimension.  Since the dimension I was using had an intermediate key on another dimension table, I created a key in the dimension, and used a reference dimension to link indirectly to the fact table to another dimension. Now I'm getting duplicate dimension members, si ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to prevent an Workflowinstance from terminating

  Hi there I'm currently working on a (runtime-)service that should start a workflow for errorhandling if an instance faults. The service works fine as long as I trigger it by the instance's terminate event (Runtime -> WorkflowTerminated), but I want to prevent  the instance from terminating and instead suspend it so it could be resumed and starts at the State that caused an error previously. Is anyone there who could give me a hint how to stop the instances termination By the way: I can't use the Sequence Workflow's Fault view to handle errors 'cause I've got to implement my Errorhandling in base classes from which our w ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro object is not defined but uncatchable

  It is a very strange situation and I have tried various combinations to beat it for a few days--to no avail. The code kept getting more complicated so bear with me please. The issue here is that there is a treeView and an outside button that is supposed to trigger some action. This action (search) needs TreeView.SelectedItem.Text and Tag properties. If I forget to make a selection beforehand the Type (" SelectedItem") is Undefined ("U") and I hoped to catch it and issue a warning. It turns out I cannot . I do not understand why. It seems in many other situations similar traps work fine. In desperation I began using two co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Print to File

  Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition: My application creates a one page report and prints it out. The page includes an image. Now, I would like to save that page to a file, so, that it could later be retrieved and viewed on the screen and also have the ability to reprint it. You have several options: 1. create a file format which you write out, storing all the information necessary. When you want to print it, your application can read it in then print it as normal. 2. Use a PDF Printer Driver to print it to a PDF. 3. As above, but create the PDF Formatted file yourself (it's an open form ...Show All
