• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ANN - Map Browser

  Map Browser - Nov CTP version The binaries are here (the ZIP file is very big - 2MB - because of the map data) http://www.valil.com/winfx/Valil.MapBrowser.zip It shows the map of Toronto, you can zoom in/out, recenter or zoom on a rectangular region. This is an exercise to see how far Avalon can go. The geometries are rendered using visuals, in my opinion it is the optimal solution when dealing with such a large number of graphic elements. The entire map contains 15.000 elements (line, polylines, polygons) with almost 500.000 points. Usually, almost 2.000 elements and 100.000 points from the map are visible. Thank you, Valentin Iliescu ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies URL Field encoding in 2.6.5?

  Hi, I've submitted this again as it may be hidden in the other thread, plus is very important to me as to whether I continue to try to use WDS 2.6.5 as part of my product. I need to make that decision pretty soon to ship on time. Thanks for any help - even if it's just a 'We are trying to find out, hang on a week...' From my app I do a search on Outlook emails via the COM API. In the resultset I get back I need to be able to display the item in Outlook using the StoreId and EntryId values. I can get the Store Id from the first part of the URL field. The EntryId used to be readable, but now, for storage size savings I imagine, it's be ...Show All

  Has anyone been able to import the xmi export file this tool generates into any other tool I have tried pulling Visio Use case diagrams into XDE, Sparx 4.1, and now Sparx 6.0 with zero luck.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office What is the difference between Word ML in 2003 and 2007?

  Hi Here is a bit of confusion, in Microsoft Word 2003, the application is still using the doc file format to store the documents, but it can also use the xml file format to store the entire document formatted as WordML. WordML is a very nice language, and I already started using it in our reporting, ASPX page generating a dynamic word document, h ere is a sample: http://livetechnologies.ca/Lists/Blog/DispForm.aspx ID=30&Source=http%3A%2F%2Flivetechnologies%2Eca%2Fdefault%2Easpx Now after having a look at Word 2007, everyone there is talking about the new Word File Format, and how can you save everything in W ...Show All

• Visual C++ why would operator=() and operator*() conflict in ref class??

  I have some code that boils down to this: ref struct A { A % operator =( const A % other) { return * this ; //<<-- offending line - thinks I mean make "this" an int as defined below: } int operator *() { return _i; } int _i; }; int main( array <System::String ^> ^args) { A a, b; a = b; return 0; } So when I compile this example in VC++ Express 2005 I get the following error: : error C2440: 'return' : cannot convert from 'int' to 'A %' What is the way around this problem If I make A a non-ref type and change the '%' to ' ...Show All

• Windows Forms Bindable MaskedTextBox DataGridView Column

  Does anyone have code/usage for a bindable masked datagrid column (preferably visually designable) I have phone numbers stored as char(10)s and I'd like to show and edit them as formatted cells in a bound datagid. Sorry if this is asked a lot, the forums search option refuses to work for me. It seems common enough... odd that it's not a default option. VStudio 2005 beta 2 Thanks in advance, Luke Or if you havent installed those just go to: http://www.windowsforms.net/default.aspx tabindex=4&tabid=49 and download the datagrid examples. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) WinFX Browser Applications and WPF/E?

  I'm confused as to how WPF/E (Windows Presentation Foundation Everywhere) relates to WinFX Browser applications. As I understand it WPF/E is supposed to deliver a subset of XAML (and the .NET framework ) in the form of a plugin to non-ms browsers. And this is supposed to be accessed programmatically through JavaScript So will there ever be a browser plugin that allows full WinFX Browser Applications in non-ms browsers The WPF/E guys seem to be Joe Stegman and Mike Harsh. See this:- http://blogs.msdn.com/mharsh/archive/2006/03/23/559106.aspx WPF/E running in Firefox! and this http://blogs. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How can I create new tests using my own template?

  Hi,     In test case manager when I try to create suite of test cases, it pops up 'Add New Test' window with templates to choose from. Can I add my own test case templates there Can I change the layout of these test case templates Thanks, Anu There are two approaches -- normal, VS user templates. You should be able to use simple mechanisms for this (File/export template). Also, if you wish to go deeper, you can use some of the VSIP Extensibility functions to do this. Take a look at: %VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\1033\SimpleUnitTest.zip If you create new templates of this format, you will need to run ...Show All

• .NET Development Secure Conversation doesn't work with second web service

  Hi everyone I have a solution based on Secure Conversation using a Security Context Token Service (which is just a web service) that gives out SCT's, a client program gets the issued SCT. But the problem I have is can this client then hold Secure Conversations with one or a number of other web services. I have another web service the client signs and encrypts the message and attempts to send the response to the web service but I get the following error. Error "System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: WSE523: The CipherData contents are invalid" I have read that much between blogs and MSDN, im all read out lol, BUT!

• .NET Development SSL on TCP Socket, how in .NET 1.1?

  Is there a way, using intrinsic .NET framework functionality, to open a TCP connection over an SSL channel   I'd rather not get into buying libraries, etc.  Java has the javax.net.ssl.* objects, and I'm not finding an equivalent in .NET. I looked all over the Internet, but nowhere a pointer/solution can be found. Please note this is a socket connection, not an HTTPS connection. Also, it's about .NET version 1.1. Any hints/tips/remarks/howto's (if even possible) would be greatly appreciated... Okay, that shines some light. The reason I was asking, is that I have to develop an EPP client, which ...Show All

• Visual C# Digitally sign a c# web form from a CaC (smart card)

  Does anyone know how or does anyone have some sample code on digitally signing a web form Right now we have a manual process on our network accounts. Someone fills out the form on the web, prints it and then faxes it to us. I'd like to make this as automated as possible. Thanks, Frank Hi, Thanks for your posts on MSDN forums. Basically, it doesn't make sense to sign a web form in your source code, for the security check is based on binary data transfer. And it's highly suggested you enable SSL of your server's iis setting after you request a verisign certificate to public at: http://www.verisign.com . It ...Show All
