• Visual Studio Team System Beta TFS MSSCCI plugin now available for VB6, VC6 (not yet VS 2002/2003)

  There's now a beta of the TFS MSSCCI plugin for VB6, VC6, etc., but it's not for VS 2002/2003 -- that's still too come.  You can download it at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=32202966-EF04-442F-8C5C-88BDF15F551C&displaylang=en . Brian Harry posted some details about it, including the fact that it is not part of the go-live license . http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2005/12/29/507993.aspx Buck I believe that MS Access supports Msscci specification, so it should work with our TFS Msscci plugin. However we are testing it only with VB6/VC6/VS2003/Visual FoxPro9 for now (this can cha ...Show All

• Visual C++ customize codepage used by "cl.exe"

  I'm using Visual Studio 2005, I'm wondering whether there's anyway to set the codepage used by "cl.exe" instead of the default system codepage. For example, the system default codepage (ACP) is 936, but I want the "cl.exe" to use code page 1252 instead. Any suggestions Thanks in advance! As you probably are aware, the compiler uses the codepage corresponding to the setting under the "Regional and Language Options" control panel.  I'm assuming that you do not want to change your entire system to English, but rather just use the English codepage for the compiler in particular. I'm not wholly sure how this w ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista SetState - how to create a Role Based one?

  Hi all, For a current project, I'm wanting to create a Role dependant SetState class (ideally). The situation: 2 roles - user + manager 3 states - A -> B ->C   (for a manager A->C is possible) StateA will listen to the same event (e.g. Approve) for both Manager + User. For Manager - we want to go to C For User - we want to go to B So....my thoughts - wouldnt it be great to have a SetShape that had some Role dependant collection of 'TargetState' properties.....object model seems pretty tight around here. Question: Why is the SetState class sealed I need to respond to the same Raised Event, but produce different outc ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Windows Token and SAML Token and Signing Process

  I am in the process of writing an STS that delivers the SAML token based on the windows credentials (hence windows token). I looked at the federation extensibility sample. It has lots of custom token configuration on client side. So I stripped out lot of code and have my client simply invoking a method on the STS which has a return type of Message, which is mapped to RSTR through attribute. It does not have any input arguments as I am relying the windows credentials through configuration. I have my own service authorization manager to allow or deny a particular window client. So far, I am able to build RSTR message that contains the SAML as ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET UI Application Crash

  Hi, We have a vb.NET client UI application which calls a number of web services. The application is intermittantly crashing completely without any evidence of an exception etc. The application is single threaded for the most part, the only area that deviates is a class managing serial port comms via win32 calls. (we do not use p invoke..) I understand the most likely cause for an unexpected termination of this nature is threading - more specifically that referencing UI elements unsafely... I can say after a very large code review that this does not take place. Can anyone provide any advice on what might be the cause or where else we might lo ...Show All
