• Software Development for Windows Vista Where do I find the build script for state persistence database

  OK, I hope that's the last beginner question for tonight. WWF didn't install any database so I figure somewhere there must be a build script for that one Thanks, Christoph The scripts to create the schema are usually either at: X:\WINDOWS\WinFX\v3.0\Windows Workflow Foundation\SQL\EN or X:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50215\Windows Workflow Foundation\SQL or if you have downloaded the Hands-On-Labs examples, they are in Example3 anyway, if you do not find them, search for: SqlPersistenceService_Schema.sql (one of the files) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Crystal adds .00 to SQL Server integers

  Hi all. I am new to CR and using CR for Visual Studio 2005. I have a report getting data from SQL Server. I am trying to concatinate 3 integer fields into a date using an unbound string field. Each date field has one part of the date, i.e. month, day and year(from an old Databus file). Crystal is adding .00 to the numbers when they print in the concatinated field so a month field containing 12 displays as 12.00. An entire date would look like 12.00/25.00/99.00. If I simply add the field to the report by drag and drop, it displays as 12. Any idea how I can get rid of the .00 You may be asking why I didn't convert the 3 date fields int ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How much of WWF designer support in VS is managed by the project system?

  Hello, In order to create a new workflow in VS, one normally selects a template from the Workflow node of a C# or VB.NET project type in the New Project dialog.  I tried creating an empty C# project (not of the workflow variety), copying the .cs and .Designer.cs files to this project, changing the namespace, and adding the same references to my empty project system that are present in the one created explicitly from the C# Workflow template.  Everything built fine, but when I tried to display the editor, it failed with an error message about ''System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Design.IMemberCreationService'&nbs ...Show All
