Just created my first WCF Windows Service and WPF Client connecting to it. The problem is its default SecurityMode is "Message" and they can't connect. If I use "BasicHttpBinding()" it works fine however it seems that I shouldn't use it. So instead I use "WSHttpBinding WSHB = new WSHttpBinding()" but I also do "WSHB.Security.Mode = SecurityMode.None;" ... Now, is this still somewhat secure and just without the NT login need or is it as unsecure as "BasicHttpBinding()" ? Thanks! [ Sorry my formatting gets lost in Opera ] More...

Ok, my first post, hope it's the right forum. I need an example of a typical master detail scenario done in WPF (C#). The ones I've found won't allow editing of the details. I need a grid*containing one combo box for the master key value and a couple of editable combo boxes for detail values. I have observable collections for master and detail but I can't get it working. How should the bindings be set? Thanks for any info, Rainer Engblom More... View All Our Microsoft Related Feeds

I just recently bought a Palm Centro with a data, internet plan. I can surf the net and watch movies, MP3's, phone, text. I'm really enjoy it so far. Pricey but worth it when on the go, sitting at airports, malls, church (just kidding) Anyone else have an PDA with data and internet and whats your experience so far. Where do you think we are going with our handheld devices in terms of technology. Will we be seeing 10 and 20 GB SD cards before long and mini processors. More...

I'm trying to write a client application to manage some data on a SQL server, this client could be used by several users at the same time. Questions : 1. Is there any other way to connect to the SQL server without needing the clients to connect directly to it by TCP/IP port opening? It kind'a feels weird opening up SQL server ports? or is it "normal" and OK ? 2. When two users using same field, how would you lock that field? Like if one user opens it up, the field locks (read only) for the other user? 3. If I got this correctly, I'll need to buy atleast Visual Studio 2008 Standard to do the above, since express editions won't connect to remote SQL servers? Thanks! More...
