Integrated Features not enabled in Virtual PC – Windows 7

I kept on receiving an error while trying to enable the integration features with virtual pc in windows 7.

with some R&D, I found out tht the administrator of the virtual PC had an empty password. So i set a password for that user.

Added my own user (which i was using to login to the VM) to remote users group and ensured that the VM allowed remote access

Document Library to FTP Upload

 

Private Sub onWorkflowActivated1_Invoked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Workflow.Activities.ExternalDataEventArgs)
       Try
                   Dim request As FtpWebRequest = CType(WebRequest.Create(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("FTPHost") + Me.workflowProperties.Item.File.Name), FtpWebRequest)
           request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.UploadFile
           request.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("FTPUser"), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("FTPPassword"))
           Dim webCl As WebClient = New WebClient()
           webCl.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("SPUser"), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("SPPassword"))
           Dim buffer() As Byte = webCl.DownloadData(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("CurrentSite") + Me.workflowProperties.Item.File.Url)
           request.GetRequestStream().Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)
           request = Nothing
       Catch ex As Exception

Uri target = new Uri("ftp://ftp.placer.dyndns.org/test.css");

URI formats are not supported.

I was using File.OpenRead(xyzURL) when i received this error. the solution was to use a webclient

‘Access denied’ when deploying VS 2k8 Sharepoint workflow

(I couldnt get a resolution to this error but following is a workaround)

1. Create a directory in the features directory [C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\FEATURES] and drop both the feature.xml and workflow.xml files into the directory.
2. Install the feature on your farm, using the following command line statements
stsadm -o installfeature -name <<name>>
4. Activate the feature to a site collection
stsadm -o activatefeature –name <<name>> -url <<url>>
Replace <<name>> and <<url>> with the actual value

***EDIT: Strange enough, I added System.Configuration reference in the project for some other purpose; and this error was gone :D
