• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Web Developer Debug error

  Visual Web Developer Debug error Using Visual Web Developer Express Beta 2 Trying to debug a simple  application fails with a Prompt message box and the message "Enter username and password". I have no idea what username and password it's looking for. It gives the error: Server Error in '/WebSite1' Application. This is due to a security alteration. The webserver that runs within Visual Web Developer, uses NTLM security by default, so if you have insufficent permissions you'll get this error (this has been logged @ http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback/viewfeedback.aspx feedbackid=8ee15019-d7e5-49c0-8f00-9fd59ce21 ...Show All

• .NET Development WebClient.DownloadFileAsync

  Hi Guys, Really strange problem I am experiencing... I have setup a virtual directory with Read Only permissions on an ISA/IIS server (SBS 2003). In that virt. dir., I placed 1 file (setup.exe). I then use WebClient.DownloadFileAsync (.NET 2.0 Pro.) and all downloads well including progress bar indicator, bytes received, etc... Here is the problem: When I replace the file (setup.exe), with a different, larger file, it still downloads the old/original one. I guess ISA/IIS server must keep a cache of it somewhere. I've searched the entire hard drive, but cannot find it. Is there any way to circumvent this caching which is causing my ...Show All

• SQL Server Multiple initiators to common target

  Information for configuring Service Broker when you have multiple initiators seems to be thin on the ground. The examples are all point-to-point and seem to require separate logins for each initiator and corresponding exchange of certificates using a multi-pass installation. E.g. Rushi's ServiceListing API. We have an application with several hundred workstations which need to send transaction data to department servers and then on to corporate. There is also a need to replicate small amounts of reference data to all levels. The examples seem to generate an installation and administrative nightmare. I have a question - would the following s ...Show All

  Hi, I've got a problem, I can connect with emulator using IDE command "tools - conncet to device", when ActiveSync4.0 is in "not connected" state.

• Visual Studio Team System Adding New Team Projects Fails (Worked Yesterday)

  After perusing many a blog till the wee hours of the morning, I finally got Team Foundation Server installed and running. I created a few new Team Projects and everything worked fine except deleting the build files from my own local temp directory and I can clear those manually. My problem is that today I came back to add a couple more Team Projects and when I get to the final step of the wizard (Specify Version Control Settings), the “Branch from:” option is disabled and the drop down for the list of current Team Projects shows “[Loading list of team project folders…]”. I tried this from another developers machine (also a member of the Nam ...Show All

  Hi! Does anybody know any updated version of a guide like 'Team Development with Visual Studio .NET and Visual SourceSafe' of MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnbda/html/tdlg_rm.asp) This guide was written in 2002 and some things seam to be out of date (for instance a web project can also be access throught the file system with VS2005) Thanks Dimitris ...I'm looking forward to it! I haven't had the chance to look at the Team Foundation Server. I guess that it's job being team development, means that documentation like the one we talk about should be considered obvious.
