• Visual C++ Debugging applications problems

  Hi. If I debug a very basic application compiled with .NET 2003 and I stop debugging instead of letting the program finish normally, I can't debug again. I can't start a dos prompt, calculator, etc. I have to manually reboot my PC, since the shutdown option doesn't work either. I tried to compile the same app under .NET 2003 and with .NET 2005 Beta 2 and the problem is the same. I have Windows XP with all the latest service packs and updates installed. Everything is legal (.NET, Windows). Any clues Thanks! Jean-Francois Dube If this still repros with Beta 2, please open a bug report on lab.msdn.microsoft.com ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Designer and the Toolbox

  We are working on integrating the workflow desinger into our suite of tools. Our shell currently has a toolbox that implements the IToolboxService interface. When we create the DesignSurface for the Workflow designer, we pass in our root service provider (which contains our toolbox service). However, the Workflow designer never asks our service provider for the IToolboxService (though it does ask for many other services). How does the list of available activities, etc, get populated in the Visual Studio toolbox Thanks! I asked one of the developers on the Windows Workflow Foundation team about this and he i ...Show All
