• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Username credential without windows account

  Hi, I'm looking at the SupportingToken sample. The sample uses client and server certificates and then add a username password "on top" of this. The username and password must be those of a user on the client machine. My "users" will not be the a windows user on their machines.I s it possible to use an arbitrary username/pass Thanks If you want a username/password pair that's not a Windows account then you will need to subclass the UserNamePasswordValidator and override the Validate method: public class MyPasswordValidator : UserNamePasswordValidator { private ...Show All

When open them from our project, after click the the type or member combo box on the top of teh editor window, VS2005 crashes.

• Visual Basic Handling of unsigned values?

  Why is this code not compiled Const UnsignedValue As UInteger = &H80004005 To make it more strange this compiles: Const UnsignedValue As Integer = &H80004005 The value is larger than Integer.MaxValue but smaller than UInteger.MaxValue.   In VB, literals (including hexadecimal literals) are considered to have type integer - as such &H80004005 is actually a negative number (representation in two's complement) - so in your first statement you're trying to assign a negative integer to an unsigned variable, and in the second statement you're assigning a valid negative ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services on Windows Vista

  Hello out there! I've tried to install all features in the SQL Server 2005 to run on Windows Vista. The Reporting Services failed to install. I think it is because of the IIS 7.0 that 's not recognised by SQL Server. Is there anyone who have had the same problem and is there anyone who have a suggestion to solve this problem Hi Kjelle, We found that Vista is not running IIS as we know it. If you parse the data in the HTTP stream from Windows 2003 Server for example, (use Fidler or something similar) you will find the server to be Microsoft IIS 6.x Server. Now parse the stream in Vista. It comes back Microsoft HTTP AP ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Access Denied: User needs the UseSystem global permission

  Sorry this is a little long. I wanted to provide as much detail as possible, so someone can tell me where I am being stupid. I'm trying to set up an Active Directory group who can create Team Projects.  This would allow me to manage who can create Team Projects from one place. I am running TFS Beta3 and VS2005 RC in a dual server configuration. I created a AD group, called TFS Project Users. I added a generic user, Developer2, to this group.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Lack of mouse scroll wheel support in VBA

  Folks The mouse scroll wheel does not work in VBA.   This has always puzzled me as to why this support does not exist since Office 2000. This problem was originally caused by a MS Mouse driver change that I'm told was communicated long in advance to other MS folks. This problem has existed for several versions of Office.  As far as I'm concerned this should've been fixed in the Office SPs. And yes, I'm quite aware of the workarounds VBScroll and Freewheel. Tony I agree with Tony. This is something that ought to be fixed. In fact it ought to have been fixed some time ago. I hope that whoever is responsible for fixing th ...Show All
