• SQL Server SP1 Install Caused Problems

  Had a couple questions about some Event ID 6702 errors on the server I’ve been getting recently. I can’t seem to find any intelligible information on Microsoft’s site about it; however, I did find this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842006/en-us#XSLTH5294121122120121120120 There are no replication partners for all I know on this server. As far as the A records that it wants me to check, when I take a look at dnsmgmt -> Forward Lookup Zones -> DI-COMM.local, there are several A records for all the machines on the network. The support doc is telling me to delete all A records except those corresponding to th ...Show All

• Visual C# Why should we have to declare the delegate in both places

• .NET Development RSA. Encrypt with private key , decrypt with public key

    Hello, I am trying to use RSACryptoServiceProvider to encrypt a value with the private key ( so i can be the only one to encrypt values ) , and give out a public key so any user can decrypt this value. I have read the RSA does support this.Also the implementation of digital signature in RSACryptoServiceProvider actually uses the keys in the above manner,but manually using the private key to encrypt and public to decrypt generates a "bad key" exception. Is what i am asking possible using the RSACryptoServiceProvider If not is there any other way to achieve this kind of behaviour Thank you   ...Show All

• .NET Development Soap Extension - ChainStream has a null request stream

  Using VS 2005 and .NET 2.0 I'm trying to adapt the code from this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/03/WebServices/  and this article http://www.codeproject.com/cs/webservices/SerializationFun.asp  for use on a winform client. Winform works without the SoapExtension implementation.  But when I hook into the web reference (reference.cs) by adding an attribute [XmlStreamSoapExtension()] to the method, something is breaking the request stream and makes it null.  ChainStream is given a null stream to work with.

• Visual Studio Team System Install went fine - but not all features appear to work

  Help! First let me say kudos to the development team for the improvements to the isntall process.  I went through the TFS Beta 3 install on a clean Windows 2003 server with sp1 applied.  I followed all the instructions in the guide (Single server install) and everything appeared to go well.  I have been able to successfully connect to the sharepoint portion of a team site using the client (explorer) installed from the Beta 3 install cd, so I have verified that is working. However I am encountering issues when attempting to connect to the server for source code control with VS2005 Beta2 (Team suite edition).  I have notice ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bringing Modal dialog to front when disabled main window clicked

  I have a .NET application which can display several independent main windows (basically different documents). When one of them launches a modal dialog, all of them are disabled. I can live with that (it's a single-threaded application for the forseeable future). But, it's possible to get into a state where the modal dialog and its owner window are hidden by other applications. If I then click on a main window that is NOT the owner of the modal dialog, the system just beeps; it does not bring either the dialog or the owning main window to the front. Unless the user knows to select the correct main window from the task bar, the applicatio ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Getting the Character Style for a word

  I'm stumped. Google doesn't seem to have the answer so I'm going to ask here... The range's "get_Style()" returns the first style that it finds. Most of the time, this is the paragraph style. However, I really need to look at the character style for what I'm trying to do. There's a way to get the paragraph style explicitly by looking at the ParagraphFormat object on the range, but is there a way to do that for the character style object currentStyleObject = range.get_Style(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. Style currentStyle = null ; if (currentStyleObject != null ) { currentStyle = currentStyleObject as Microsoft.Office.Interop. ...Show All
