• Windows Forms Test Certificate Signing problem

  Hi, I have created a test certificate using VS 2005 and installed it in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities and Trusted Publishers. I have set my manifests to be signed by this certificate. Then I am publishing it into an intranet zone ie http://<machinename>/<appname> When i try to download the application from the same machine, I get a "The publisher could not be verified" prompt, and the publisher name is coming as "Unkown Publisher". Is this a bug, because I have the certificate installed on the same machine, even if I get the prompt why am I getting an "Unkown Publisher" as the publisher name Thanks, Kunal ...Show All

• Visual C# Deploying 2.0 Framework of an Intranet

  Fixed! Unfortunately most options will require a little bit of work on each PC up front, after that things would be far far easier. What about publishing your application with ClickOnce With it published to a (preferably) local web server, you need only install it to each PC and then in future when you make a change, you republish it and the next time each app is run it will automatically update itself. ...Show All

• Visual C++ AfxMessageBox not working

  Hi, in Visual Studio 2005 I chose new project->c++->mfc. As Projecttype I chose Dialogbased. Now I have the problem, that following code does not work, that I put on the click event of the ok button: AfxMessageBox("test"); I get an error message that not all arguments could be parsed. But I found this code on MSDN just with an other text than "test". any ideas In VS2005, you're doing a Unicode build, which means you need this: AfxMessageBox(L"test"); a better way is AfxMessageBox(TEXT("test")); which works for both build types. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Debugging program that won't start

  Whenever I try to start my program, I get a dialog box saying "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000022). Click on OK to terminate the application". With the debugger, it does the exact same thing, giving me no opportunity to find out what is going on; if I try to break it once the dialog box is up, I get another dialog "Unable to break execution. Please wait until the debuggee has finished loading, and try again" The only vaguely informative piece of information is a message in the debug window: "Debugger: An unhandled non-continuable exception was thrown during process load" ...Show All

• .NET Development Why does ArrayList not have a Get(int index) method??!

  Hi there, Why does ArrayList not have a Get(int index) method Java's version does and this is exactly what I need because I want to pick out certain objects in the list and make a new list from them. It seems silly that it doesn't. Using Enumerators is fine if you want to go through the whole list. But I want to look at individual objects in the list at random places. Is there another List class that I can use or another way I can do this Thanks, Chris Most collections in .NET work like this, with some kind of indexer property. It's a much nicer syntax over a get/set method when you get used to it. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Killing WF Instance

  Hi all, I need to kill a WF instance from another instance. I have the GUID of the instance I wish to kill. This is because I retrived information from the instance I wish to kill and I no longer need it. Neither in memory or in the database. I just want to get rid of it. So, what's the best way to do this Txs. John Hi John, You cannot terminate or perform any instance operation on oneinstance from another. Only the host can attain and perform operations on instances.

• .NET Development Array.ConvertAll and List<T>.ConvertAll but nothing that works with IEnumerable<T>

  It appears there's an oversight in the design of System.Collections.Generic. Given an instance of an implementation of IList<T>, one cannot use generic algorithms because there is no static class which implements the generic algorithms (things like ForEach, RemoveAll, ConvertAll, etc.) for downlevel generic interfaces. For example, ForEach could be implemented on an IEnumerable<T>. Similarly, different levels of support for ConvertAll could be implemented for IEnumerable<T> (returning an IEnumerable<U> , ICollection<T> (returning U[] or List<U>, doesn't really matter).

• Visual C++ PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE and the CLR -- debugging issues

  Hi -- I just compiled a C++ app with the CLR flag for the first time that I had previously only compiled to the native code platform. I did this so I could write debug information to the Output window, but I will want more extensive interaction with the managed environment in the future. In my app I allocate a piece of memory with VirtualAlloc with the PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE flag set and then proceed to generate some intel code to that memory. I'm finding that when I compile with the CLR flag I can no longer use the debugger to view my generated code in the disassembly window, which of course prevents me from setting breakpoints or tra ...Show All
