• .NET Development Accessing Cryptographic Tokens

  Hello! I am not sure in which forum this question fits best, so I post it in the General section. I don't mind if you move it to another place where it fits better. I need to access Cryptograhpic Tokens that contains Certificates like USB sticks or SmartCards (I need "only" read access). It looks like there are (at least) two ways to do this: - PKCS#11 (also known as cryptoki) - CAPI (Cryptographic API) I can't find informations or examples ...Show All

  Hi, I have created an Analysis Services 2005 cube, and am viewing it using an Excel PivotTable.

• Windows Forms Is "simple data binding" one-way by default?

  If I bind a TextBox to an array myList using "simple data binding" textBox.DataBindings.Add( "Text" , myList , "MyProperty" ) ; If I change the string in the text box at run-time, the underlying data in the array is changed (what I expect).

• .NET Development Sockets and Serialization

  Hi, I'm building a windows forms app that needs to connect to a server farm via the internet. Performance is of the essence. I'm thinking to use .NET remoting but I prefer sockets to avoid the complexity of remoting; the data I need to pass are small in size anyway. For larger data I'll use Web services. I know that sockets connection can pass array of bytes and not objects. Can I pass a serialized object from socket to socket There' ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problem: Reading ini-File

  Hi, I've a problem reading an ini-File. I use the Function 'GetPrivateProfileStringA() which seems to work perfectly. The problems started when I declared my variables like this: Dim s As String = "" Dim n As Integer n = GetPrivateProfileStringA(Section, Key, "doesntexist", s, 255, IniPath()) The variable 's' that should contain the string was empty.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need a faster ArrayList save to text file

  Hi I have used a variety of file write routines to try to find a quick way of saving an ArrayList of 240,000 strings. The best I have managed so far takes an awful long time, 20 minutes and hadn't finished when I stopped it. In all my attempts, I have to split off each word from the ArrayList and File.Append it to the file. I can see that is not an efficient way of doing it, but I can't find an alternative method. What is the best/fa ...Show All
