• Smart Device Development SslStream Pocket Pc

  I have a multiple layer application, that communicates with sockets I have UDP and TCP sockets, for 2 way communications, the problem is that I need to encrypt the channel and a good way is using SslStream, but it’s not supported in the compact framework, because I’m using embedded systems. The question is when the SslStream will be supported in the compact framework Hi bistok, NETCF V2 does not support SslStream. We will be considering adding support for the class in the next release. Thank you for your suggestion. In the meantime, you can use the classes in the System.Security.Cryptography namespace to encrypt the data. Cheers, Ant ...Show All

• Visual Studio To Microsoft: Sporadic COM exceptions adding/removing commandbars and buttons from Visual Studio add-ins

  Hi Microsoft people, My add-in adds buttons to built-in commandbars of Visual Studio and also it creates several commandbars with lots of buttons. It is my painful experience (from user bug reports) that the Commandbars of Visual Studio .NET 2002/2003 and VS 2005 are very fragile and cause sporadic COM exceptions in non-reproducible circumstances. When a user reports this, my first question is: "Is it reproducible " and the answer is always "No, the add-in loaded/unloaded fine the next time". So, I am certain that my add-in is not buggy. I have done a lot of effort to identify some reproducible cases and I have repo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Application config: automatic or not?

  In tinkering with application and user-bound settings to persist form controls between invocations, I came across the article "Binding to Client Settings Sample" ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms180993.aspx ) and the article "How to: Create Application Settings Using the Designer" ( http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/wabtadw6.aspx ). The former provides a working example that is semi -automatic; the binding is done with the designer in part, but there is user code to connect and save the pieces. The latter states quite clearly that " you can create new application settings and bind them to prope ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Manager Config Issue

  Greetings, *Microsoft Windows Server 2003 *MSSQL Server 2005 (with reporting services installed) I have found a configuration issue after setting up the virtual directorties for the report service and report manager.

• Visual Studio Text field prints trash

  When I preview a report with pictures and text fields, it looks normal. Then I print the report and the pictures are OK, but all the text fields are printing trash (garbage) characters. Wanted to post this follow-up as I have learned more about my problem. I have two printers: One a HP Laserjet 5si (w/Postscript) and another HP Officejet 7410 All-in-one. I have never had a printing problem with the 5si, so I never suspected the problem was related to the 5si. At any rate, I just tried printing to the 7410, and my text printed just fine. I tried again to the 5si, and the text printed as garbage. It does not look like ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Security

  If I add "Domain\Domain Users" group to "Project\Contributors" then domain users ("Domain\User1") cannot access TFS. If I add "Domain\User1" to "Project\Contributors" group then everything works. Is this by design or a bug The Beta 3 refresh code has a problem detecting group membership if the group is set as the user's primary group.  By default, all users have the Domain Users group set as their primary group, so the Beta 3 refresh code thinks that the Domain Users group has no members.  The workaround is to create another group in Active Directory, and add the users to it.  This problem is ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to change profiles programmatically on SP2003?

  Hi, In an application of mine I want to switch the phone's profiles. Currently, I do this through emulating key presses to the Quick List window.
