• Software Development for Windows Vista So where are we Indigo (WCF) and Workflow (WWF) integration ?

  Since we are at Beta 2 I was hoping for a tighter degree of integration between WWF and WCF by now, Indigo( WCF) has been out for more than a Year now, and yet we still seem to be stuck with ASMX based Activities. Maybe I come back in another 6 months to check if there has been any progress on WCF integration. Hi Jules, You can check out the Expense Reporting sample on the community site at http://www.windowsworkflow.net/default.aspx tabindex=4&tabid=49 There will be a session at TechEd USA 2006 in June that talks about Microsoft's plans in this area.

• SQL Server SQL DMO - Backward Compatibility Components Redistributable

  I need to update our applications install program so it installs the latest SQL DMO.  I've downloaded the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components" MSI from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=D09C1D60-A13C-4479-9B91-9E8B9D835CDC&displaylang=en . This MSI will not install on Windows 98.  This is surely a problem   Client machines running Windows 98 can still connect to SQL Server 2005 so surely I should be able to install SQL DMO on a Windows 98 machine as well Thanks I regret that this is causing you grief. However, Windows 98 was never o ...Show All

• SQL Server public server role

  In exploring permissions that users have, I find that they all have VIEW ANY DATABASE permission which they inherit from the public server role. You can see this by selecting the Permissions page on the Server Properties dialog and highlighting "public". The permission shows as having been granted by sa. This is listed as a server role. However, it does not show in the list of server roles and I can't find any documentation for it (RTM BOL). Interestingly, if I revoke this permission (which is the only permission this role has), the public server role disappears from view. But I can subsequently regrant the permission with Transact ...Show All

• .NET Development Query regarding uniqueidentifier

• Visual C++ How to test eof with FileStream

  Hi, This question might be very basic but I'm still in the learning curve with Visual C++. I try to read a binary file in order to extract specific class objects from it. Unfortunately, it seems that I don't test the eof() the right way. Here is a snippet of how I do it (wrong...): FileStream* Fich_Stream = File::OpenRead(Nom_Fich_Enreg); BinaryFormatter* Fich_bf = new BinaryFormatter(); while(Fich_Stream->CanRead) { CL_Modules* Sav_Module = dynamic_cast<CL_Modules*>(Fich_bf->Deserialize(Fich_Stream)); Sav_Module->Figure = new GraphicsPath(Sav_Module->Figure_PPoints,Sav_Module->Figure_PTypes); ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions how do i tell if a text box contains only spaces?

  I am just converting from VB 6 to Express, and alot of the coding is different, so I've been messing around with some basic programs to get the hang of it. I'm currently working on a Magic 8 Ball Program lol, but it is actually relatively in-depth (for a magic 8 ball program lol). but my question is, how can I tell if a text box contains only spaces, because if the user clicks the button, i don't want the button to function unless they have typed something into the text box. so i was going to use a simple if then else statement, but i still can't figure out how to figure out how to tell if the textbox contains just spaces for my if part. doe ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems with SendInput. It's not working?

  Hi guys, To use SendInput I need to use the INPUT structure. When I use the INPUT structure then compiler complains that INPUT is unknown. INPUT is also not displayed in the drop down Intellisense list box on pressing ctrl+spacebar. Can somebody help. keyb_event works fine. But why INPUT is not being identified. It happened on VS6. OS - Win2000. But the INPUT structure is working in WindowsXP! What is your compiler warning/error Show a piece of code! Is there a chance that INPUT is defined to something else.

• .NET Development System.Net.Mail: Method Clear() of MailAddressCollection leaves 1 element unremoved

  Visual Studio 2005 Version 8.0.50727.42 The task is to send an email to every recepient that is contained in a DataTable. After MailAddressCollection.Clear()   MailAddressCollection.Count changes to zero, but the next message sent still contains the first MailAddress added to the MailAddressCollection. This can be seen only if there will be no new MailAddress added to the MailAddressCollection - see below if column "EmailCC" is empty. Very strange. Any idea except from creating a new MailMessage for every recepient private System.Net.Mail. MailMessage  _Msg; foreach (System.Data. DataRow row in table.Rows) ...Show All
