• Software Development for Windows Vista ManualWorkflowSchedulerService and Web Service

  When I call a web service from a workflow, scheduled using the ManualWorkflowSchedulerService, it appears to go idle and does not wait for the response. Will this behaviour be addressed by the new UseActiveTimers option or is there another solution Mark Philip Just to give a bit more detail to my issue: I have built a state machine workflow which implements an ASP.NET page wizard.

• Visual Basic Validating within a User Class

  I need to populate a container with an indeterminate number of label/textbox pairs for input. Since it is indeterminate at design time, I thought I'd create a user class with both a label and at text box in a pair so I could create them at run time and populate the labels appropriately from a data file. I need to validate each text box for numeric value. Then, I need to use that value to build up a subtotal on the form...sort of like this: ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to add existing source controlled file to VC++ 2005 project

  Hi, I currently experience problems when trying to add files that already are under source control (IBM Rational Clearcase) to a VS2005 project. VS seems to recognize what I am trying to do, checks out the project file and warns that the file I am trying to add is already under source control. But after confirming this .... nothing happens. There are 2 workarounds: 1) Edit project file in notepad .... not really an option 2) Remove the file ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Factoring Interfaces

  I am embarking on my first WCF based service. This service will be evolved from an existing .asmx based set of web services that expose over 200 webmethods. My question is, what is the best way to (re)factor the .asmx interfaces in WCF I was considering a single IMyInterface containing the 200+ methods, and then perhaps partial classes for the implementation to maintain some modularity. Is this a bad idea Are there any best practices for factori ...Show All

• SQL Server Generating SQL scripts in VS2005

  Hi, I'm using Beta 2 and I've noticed a difference in behavior between VS2005 and VS2003 when generating SQL scripts from database objects in Server Explorer. In VS2003, scripting a table results in separate files (TAB, KEY etc) for the table, indexes and so on. With VS2005 I just get one file. Is it possible to switch the behavior back to generating mutiple files If not, why was the behavior changed Many thanks in advance! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Do not declare explicit static constructors (in C++)

  I'm trying to fix all the FXCop errors for a managed C++ assembly and I seem to be stuck with the "Do not declare explicit static constructors" error. If I don't declare and explicit static constructor, I get the following error IN ADDITION to the one above: "Static constructors are private". The given resolution for that error is "Declare an explicit static constructor for 'classname'. These two errors seem to contradict one another. Where ...Show All
