Hi, Hope someone can help me. I would like to know if x.509 certificates can work outside a windows domain? I'm not talking about SSL certificates and also not to implement a kerberos server. We have lots of small domains all connected with a VPN. We're developing an application that will connect to a central service and would like to implement security that also need to use .net role management. The problem that I face is that "ws" binding enforce the use of x.509 certificates. According to what i've been reading is, that the certificates can only be used in a single windows domain, that is what i would like to confirm. Is certificates the only way of encrypting WCF messages between the application and service? Kind regards Andries

Hi to all, Hope I'm posting this in the right discussion group. I wonder if anyone can tell me if VS 2008 brought in support for rich text formatting or HTML in reports of Reporting Services? I did see some reports on the possibility but would like to know for sure. Hope you can help. Kind regards Andries

Hi all, Ok, the IIS 6.0 Recource Kit toolkit did wonders, even though it states for working only on 6, i installed it and it's working on 5.1. SelfSSL works wonders :) I would still like some advice on Windows server 2003 web edition, would this be the better way to go? Kind regards

Hi all, I hope some one can give me some advice on the problem I'm facing. Here is some background: I need to host a asp.net 3.5 website through a static IP and a not to common port over the internet. Currently I have a intranet site running on the company's network on a standard XP machine on IIS 5.1, no problem, low trafic. The internet site will also only manage low trafic for the time being. The problem I found now is that IIS 5.1 on XP don't support more than one website on a different port. And also it does not support SSL very well. I'm running vista with IIS 6 that can support the multiple sites on different ports, but it seems SSL is also going to be a problem. I want to use a SSL certificate that I can create on my own, just to handle the encryption between the server and the clients, so to buy one from thawte is not a priority now. The only thing I can think of is to get a Windows 2003 server web edition and manage the sites on that server. I hope someone can give me some advice on this matter. Is Win XP a lost case for this purpose? Can I run the site on Win 2003 with my own SSL certificate? Any other ideas would also be appreciated. Kind regards

For web based programming I like using 2 screens. I work on a laptop with a 15.4" lcd that I use for testing purposes and a 17" LCD add on screen that I rather use for the coding. It's really nice to be able to code on the one side and see you changes on the other side. Even when I go through examples, it's far nicer to be able to see the example on onside and test on the other. It's far more productive than alt tab to try and do the same. I would say to go for a minimum of 22" LCD. I know and have seen that you can easily fit two windows on that size. It makes viewing you code soOOOOO much better. Wish I had one for work :sigh:

Hi There, Can anyone help me with an idea on how to disable the browsers feature to remember passwords once I login. I need to disable this in code behind, just before the user login. I mainly work in IE and firefox. Thank you :)

Hi again, Ok, I'm going to post my own fix on this :P But would still like ideas on the original problem, if someone has. I basically just did what the SP did in a short query: select name AS UserName, sid AS UserSID from sysusers where issqluser = 1 and (sid is not null and sid <> 0x0) and suser_sname(sid) is null order by name Kind regards

Hi there, Hope someone can help me, I'm trying to resolve orphaned users in SQL server. I created a procedure that works very nice in SQL server 2005, but it's having problems in SQL server 2000. Here is the problem part of my code: create table #Users( username varchar(20), userId varchar(250)) insert into #Users exec sp_change_users_login 'Report' select * from #Users Then I get this error: Server: Msg 15289, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_change_users_login, Line 27 Terminating this procedure. Cannot have an open transaction when this is run. Hope you can help. Thank you :)

Thank you, it works. I just had to use '&H' instead of '0x' for VB. But it works great, thank you for the help :)

Hi, This may be a stupid question, but I'm having troubles assigning a hex value to the backcolor of a table cell with code. I'm currently adding values into a table with code, but I would like to change the back color by giving the color's hex code or #code. In the visual designer I can easily add the hex code, why not with code or am I forced to split it into blue, red and green or just use the basic system.drawing.color choices? Hope someone can help :) Kind regards
