• Software Development for Windows Vista Parameters

  Is it just me or do you find the "parameters" dictionary loathesome What's the point of having Intellisense and type-safe checking in the VS2005 environment if you're just going to pass a dictionary of Objects to workflow for setup It seems to me that if I had a regular class, and I need to pass some required values to it at construction time, I'd create a constructor to do that - is there some reason WF can't do this For example.. Dictionary<string, object> parameters = new Dictionary<string, object>(); parameters.Add("Message", "Test Message"); WorkflowInstance inst ...Show All

• SQL Server Calculations tab - MSAS 2005

  Hi Pretty new to this so bear with me:) I have created a cube which has atm a single value measure and 5 dimensions which enable me to look at totals of the value measure in various ways - quite pleased I've managed to get this far without too many headaches.

• Windows Search Technologies Configure search locations programmatically

  In our application, we want to exclude some by-default-checked locations (i.e., some special PST files listed in the profile), we also want to include some folders on the hard disk. This can be done through the WDS options dialog. But we need to do it at background, a.k.a., programmatically. Is this possible So far we found that following registries may be related: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\RSSearch\Gather\RSApp\MyIndex\Sites\LocalHost\Paths HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Desktop Search\DS\Index\Rules But we are afraid that directly deal with registry may require restart WDS, and it may also mess up WD ...Show All
