Ian2, okay.

I wonder if Channel9 has access to some kind of cluster or cloud to encode the videos...

Coffeehouse - BUILD 2011 session videos

Just wondering when the sessions from yesterday (14. september) will be online, so those of us not at the conference will be able to watch them

Tech Off - Fixing CA1303 - DoNotPassLiteralsAsLocalizedParameters

GurliGebis — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 16:58:56 GMT

Come on, nobody who knows how to fix this?

Tech Off - Fixing CA1303 - DoNotPassLiteralsAsLocalizedParameters

GurliGebis — Thu, 25 Jan 2007 15:05:26 GMT

Is there some way to fix the DoNotPassLiteralsAsLocalizedParameters problem, without just suppressing it?

I want it to load the strings from a resource file, and have got that working.
The problem is, that I want to have the strings from the default locale shown on the controls in the controller, so I don't have empty labels, buttons etc.

Can I do that?

I'm using C# 2.0

Tech Off - Authenticode signing application from VS2005

GurliGebis — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 11:56:53 GMT

Ahh, hehe, didn't think of that

Thought it was implemented directly into the IDE.

Tech Off - Authenticode signing application from VS2005

GurliGebis — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 23:36:39 GMT

I'm having a little problem.

I have a code signing certificate, that I want to use for signing my generated .exe file.

When I open the Signing property page for me project, I only have two signing options:

"Sign the ClickOnce manifest" and "Sign the assembly"

The last one doesn't have anything to do with anthenticode, but only Strong name signing.

So, how do I tell Visual Studio to sign the generated assembly with my authenticode certificate/private key?

Tech Off - Signing code with a pfx file

GurliGebis — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 23:33:22 GMT

I installed SP1 a few weeks ago, and generated the pfx file today, so I don't think that is causing it, but I'm going to test from a machine without SP1 installed.

UPDATE: Just tried it with a machine without SP1, same problem.
I can easily select the certificate and get it loaded, but when I build, it asks for the password again, and this time I get the messagebox and the error.

Any ideas, or any way to get a bit more usefull information that just "Object already exists", since that doesn't really point me to whats causing the problem.

Tech Off - Signing code with a pfx file

GurliGebis — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 12:44:55 GMT

I used this as my extension for generating my certificate:

[ codesign_ext ]
extendedKeyUsage = codeSigning,msCodeCom

But I still get this error

Tech Off - Signing code with a pfx file

GurliGebis — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 12:25:41 GMT

I have a pfx file containing both my certificate and my private key.
I have entered it into visual studio together with my password.

Now, when I run Build Solution, it prompts me for the password, when I enter the password, it throws this message at me: "Object already exists".

In the error box, I get this error: Importing key file "codesigning.pfx" was canceled.

I'm wondering what might be wrong, if I generate a selfsigned key it works fine.

I generated the key with openssl to a .p12 file, imported it to windows, and exported it to a pfx file, with both the private and public key.

Any ideas of what is wrong? Do I need a certain extension when I generate the certificate and key?

Tech Off - Elevate application on certain action in C#

GurliGebis — Fri, 24 Nov 2006 10:08:38 GMT

If I get the application to launch an MSI, wont vista ask about UAC then?

Tech Off - Elevate application on certain action in C#

GurliGebis — Thu, 23 Nov 2006 20:41:06 GMT

Is it possible for a problem to call a function, to get the UAC prompt up, so a certain function in my program i run as the Administrator.
(Developing an application that downloads an MSI file over the network, and needs to run it as the Administrator, to get the application updated)

And I do that?

Tech Off - Events across threads

GurliGebis — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 14:56:51 GMT

Not really easy to paste some code, since it's really complicated.
But the Form subscribes to an event, and the event is fired from another thread.
So the question really is: "How do I fire an event, if some of the classes that has subscribed to it is Forms, so it doesn't throw a cross thread execption?"

Tech Off - Events across threads

GurliGebis — Mon, 06 Nov 2006 14:47:00 GMT

Hey.

I'm having a problem.

I have an event, that I subscribe to from a WinForm.
When I call the event from another thread, it fails, since it cannot access the winforms thread.

So, how do I invoke an event, so that everyone thats subscribed to it gets it invoked, so it works across threads?

Tech Off - Sending UTF-8 between Java and C#

GurliGebis — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 19:19:42 GMT

Yes, it's all send as XML, it's when I try to parse some XML that contains some non-ASCII chars.

Tech Off - Sending UTF-8 between Java and C#

GurliGebis — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 16:29:15 GMT

Got that part working, now I have another problem.
It reads it correctly, as long as I'm not sending anything but ASCII, as soon as I send anything non-ascii, it fails on the java side with this exception:

com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.impl.io.MalformedByteSequenceException: Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Any ideas of what might be wrong?
(I'm sending an int first, followed by a \n, and then I send some XML data. Then I read the amount of chars, and reads the chars into a char array, and then generates a String from that)

Tech Off - Sending UTF-8 between Java and C#

GurliGebis — Thu, 26 Oct 2006 15:38:11 GMT

I'm having some problems sending UTF-8 encoded data between Java and C#, but the data is broken when it reaches the other end.

In Java I do this:
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"), 8192);

In C# I do this:
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(client.GetStream(), System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

When I have this in C# :
String s = "287";
writer.WriteLine(s);

In Java, I do this:
String line = reader.readLine();
int i = Integer.parseInt(line);

This fails, since line contains 4 chars, with these values:
[0] = '' 65279
[1] = '2' 50
[2] = '8' 56
[3] = '7' 55

Anyone who knows, why this happens, and maybe how to fix it?

Tech Off - Installing Proof Reading dictionaries from Office 2003

GurliGebis — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 11:47:46 GMT

Come on everybody, isn't this possible?

Tech Off - Installing Proof Reading dictionaries from Office 2003

GurliGebis — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 15:49:32 GMT

Hey.

I'm using the Office 2007 Beta 2 programs, but I'm missing the Danish Proof Reading dictionaries, so I was thinking, is it possible to install them from my Office 2003 DK cd, or copy them from an installation of Office 2003 thats on another machine?

Tech Off - Shortcut keys to buttons in C# program

GurliGebis — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 09:30:06 GMT

Thanks alot, I'll try that

Tech Off - Shortcut keys to buttons in C# program

GurliGebis — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 07:00:29 GMT

Hey.

I know it's possible to have shortcut keys to menu items in a C# program (Like CTRL+F5).
Is it possible to have shortcut keys for Buttons, or do I need to have a menu just to get the shortcut keys?

Tech Off - Tooltip when using custom painting on form

GurliGebis — Sat, 22 Apr 2006 12:11:11 GMT

hmm, okay, but that doesn't explain why it does behave this way.
Should I create a test projekt that demonstrate the problem, and upload it, might be easier to find the problem then?

Tech Off - Tooltip when using custom painting on form

GurliGebis — Fri, 21 Apr 2006 08:14:20 GMT

Hey.

I'm having a little problem.
I have a form that I manually paint something on, by using the Paint event.
I want to be able to show a tooltip when I move the mouse over a certain section, so I have implemented the MouseMove section, and that works fine.

The problem is, that when the tooltip is displayed, the form is invalidated, and the custom painting gets drawn again, on top of the tooltip, which makes it disappear.

So, is there a way to use tooltips when painting directly on the surface?

Tech Off - Programatically Using A Webcam In C#

GurliGebis — Fri, 03 Mar 2006 17:10:40 GMT

Any ideas on how to avoid the clipboard?

Tech Off - Programatically Using A Webcam In C#

GurliGebis — Thu, 02 Mar 2006 23:31:16 GMT

That code works great, but, isn't there a way to copy the data into an image object more directly, to avoid using the clipboard (to gain some speed)

We could quibble about the most bit. Especially in a corporate environment, I could easily see some companies not wanting their employees watching videos at work.

But there's no real benefit in making it mandatory, is there? How hard would a checkbox be? The only reason I can think of is for Microsoft to give themselves a competitive advantage over QuickTime and Real.

Is there anybody who isn't drunk and on drugs (at the same time), that could think of installing Realplayer?
Seriously, that player is the worst peace of software I have seen.
