• .NET Development Remotely accessing system certificate stores

  I am developing a C application to use SSL/TLS.  Using the samples provided by MS, I have been generally successful.  I am using a stand-alone CA at this time.  I have been able to run my server and client with a SSL connection on the same machine as well as 2 separate machines.  However, to get this to work I have had to install the certificates on the machine on which the program is running.  The issue that continues to "dog" me is how to get "remote system store access" to work.  When I open the certificate store I am constructing \\<machine name>\My, but the opening of the certificate store only works ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling 1.1 code in 2.0

  Can I call 1.1 compiled code from 2.0 code. If Yes then underwhich runtime will the 1.1 code be executed is it still 1.1 or under 2.0 framework. Yes you can.   There can only be one version of the runtime loaded in each process, so if you have 2.0 code running it means you have v2.0 (or later) of the runtime loaded. All assemblies in your process will use that version and its corresponding framework assemblies.     ...Show All

  Hi, I'm trying to integrate custom FxCop rules using the Code Analysis capabilities of VS2005 beta 2 and I'm hitting some problems :( I've written a very simple custom rule which loads and runs OK under the stand-alone version of FxCop 1.32  I've then changed the FxCop and Cci references (and imports) to hook up to the integrated version of FxCop (SDK under "Team Tools") so I can load the rule for use in the IDE but that's where it all goes a bit pear shaped!

• Visual Studio Downgrading from 2.0 to 1.1

  On our new website we decided to use CommunityServer's asp.net portal. We ran into a multitude of bugs and found out that it has issues with .net 2.0. So I went to downgrade to 1.1 but after the uninstall supposedly finished successfully and I rebooted. Nothing had changed, all files were still there and 1.1 now would not install, and IIS didn't think any .net revision was present. So after a botched uninstall and all scripts and attempts to manually uninstall fail how do you downgrade Thank you everyone that responds :) There is no dow ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista 'Sealed' Sequence or Designable CompositeActivity

  I want to create an activity with several child activities. I do not want the child activities to be modified and I do not want other activities added. I could start with System.Workflow.Activities.Sequence and set each of the child items Visible property to False . But when my activity is placed in the workflow, someone can still drop additional activities onto my own because it derives from Sequence . I want this activity to appear as a logical whole and don't want items added to it. If I start with System.Workflow.ComponentModel.CompositeActivity , it appears I will have to create a custom ToolboxItem that manually adds each of my child c ...Show All
