NEW POST: VS 2008 A form may not be displayed when switch to Design view

japa — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 12:53:31 GMT

Tengo este problema, cuando estoy en modo view code y paso al modo diseño de la forma, esta se queda en blanco, tengo que salir y volver a entrar (TIPICO de WINDOWS, pensé que esto eran etapas superadas), peor aún cuando trató de cerrar la forma me saca del Visual Studio 2008, tengo que realizar un rebuild para poder cerrar y abrir la forma.
He buscado en internet pero no encuentro la solución y mucho menos en esa cosa llamada MSDN.
Por lo visto este problema surgió en VS 2005 y fue corregido con un fix, pero en VS 2008 el problema persiste.

POR FAVOOOOOOR, que pasa microsoft?

Sds.

ICrmService crmService = context. CreateCrmService (true);

Set please to me an example as it can be made. From registratin tool I cannot look as there already connected service.

I to myself see it approximately so:
sdkmessageprocessingstep regstep = new sdkmessageprocessingstep ();

NEW POST: Missing e-mail settings in IIS6.0 using Windows Vista Business

timbabock — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 15:34:19 GMT

I turned a Windows Vista workstation into an intranet server. Everything is working fine but the e-mail isn't setting up correctly. I installed all IIS components but for some reason the e-mail system isn't completely installing causing this message to appear when sending email:

Could not create an object of type 'CDO.Message'. Please verify that the current platform configuration supports SMTP mail.

This looks like a problem with Vista because the mailroot folder isn't created. While the setting for the e-mail server were added it doesn't all allow you to control it as well through IIS in the same way you would with the ftp server.

Any ideas?

NEW POST: Is there a downloadable package to create a company-internal "Code Gallery"?

Thanks for your interest Steven. Unfortunately, I don't believe "stronger ACLs" on a cloud-hosted service would make any difference to my organization's reticence. A strongly-ACL'd internal service might make a difference to us, but hosting any corporate IP off the corporate network not only is expressly forbidden by InfoSec policy, but would be viewed as an utterly foolish risk to take, in this day and age of credential phishing, pharming, XSS attacks and the like.

Sorry you guys won't be able to help us - guess we'll have to make a go of the SourceForge product for now.

COMMENTED ISSUE: How do I create a manifest.xml file?

StevenMSFT — Wed, 28 May 2008 21:52:21 GMT

The instructions for turning an encoded video in to a Silverlight application say:

To turn your encoded video into a Silverlight application, you must add one more file to the folder created above by Expression Encoder. This file is named manifest.xml. You can find a copy of the file needed for this example with the Office Live Small Business code samples in the MSDN Code Gallery. You can use this file to create any Silverlight video application that is encoded using Expression Encoder. To add this file and create the Silverlight application (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officelive/FX102711871033.aspx):

To download the manifest.xml file, open the MSDN Code Gallery.
Next to the name of the file, click Direct link.
On the license page, click I agree.
In the File Download dialog box, click Save.

When I click on the link for "open the MSDN Code Gallery", I get an error message. From that point, I'm completely lost. It says I can find a copy of the file needed but I can't! And, it says "Next to the name of the file, click Direct Link"...name of what file?? Can someone give me advice?
Comments: What's the exact error message that you are getting? I tried reproducing your problem but could download the file just fine. Thanks, Steven Wilssens

NEW POST: Code Gallery versus CodePlex

StevenMSFT — Wed, 28 May 2008 21:30:55 GMT

The following page should give a clear distinction between MSND Code Gallery, CodePlex, and Visual Studio Gallery: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/cc304057.aspx. I can’t answer on whether the SQL Server samples or EntLib should be moved back under Microsoft’s control.

Unfortunately this isn’t the correct address to post any questions on product specific problems. The best thing at this point is to post your question to an MSDN Forum.
