• Software Development for Windows Vista workflow and web apps

  How do you go about utilizing WWF in a web application I'm currently looking into building a workflow system for publishing web pages in a cms. I've got a basic workflow built and have been testing it using a console application. I need to port this workflow to the web application where users would interact with it using webforms instead of a console app. I'm a little confused on how this would be done in a stateless environment. The workflow is the usual review process... a reviewer receives a notification via email that a page needs to be approved. They log into the web app and do their review and either approve or reject the page. If a ...Show All

• .NET Development A Question on GC

  I have a MDI program in which user can open different document and edit it. After several user use it, they report that it becomes more and more slow. So I watch the memory usage of it carefully and found a problem : it seems the memory is never released after a document is closed. I watch the memory cost in Tesk Manager, and found that whenever a document is opened, the memory cost increases. However, after the document is closed, the memory cost does not drop. When another document is opened, it cost more memory. I later realize that since the document is opened for a while, the objects it allocated have been moved to Generation 2. So ...Show All

• .NET Development Concating Returned Values from a SqlDataReader using Column indexes

  Hi all, I am using a objSqlCeDataReader to populate a ListView and am using column indexes to cycle through the objSqlCeDataReader when assigning them to sub items of the ListView. But, what I want to do is to truncate (concat) on of the columns data (the DataTime column) but am not sure how I catch this column in my code (to check what column I am at) so that I can truncate its returned data. The code I have so far is below... public static int PopulateListView(ListView grdGrid, string strQuery, int nColumns) { SqlCeCommand objSqlCeCommand = m_objSqlCeConnection.CreateCommand(); objSqlCeCommand.CommandText = strQuery; ...Show All

• SQL Server The SQL Network Interface library was unable to register SPN. Error: 0x490

  I recently installed SQLExpress Beta 2 on WinXP. After power up and logon there is a substantial delay - minutes - sometimes maybe forever. In the event viewer I see: "The SQL Network Interface library was unable to register SPN. Error: 0x490" This is on my home network with two computers one using WinXP the other Win2000 configured as a workgroup. I say maybe forever because if I tire of the wait and hit system reset - after the reboot this delay does not occur. What can I do (beyond uninstalling SQLExpress - which does work to eliminate the delay) to stop this probem Hello, The "connection tim ...Show All

• SQL Server The 'A request to send data to the computer running IIS has failed' Exception

  Hi guys, When I do the RDA process, this weird problem comes out. I don't think there is any problem with the connction between the SQLce Server Agent and SQL Server agent. Everytime I run the RDA process, it looks like it is waiting for the time out of the connection. And If I cancel this process and rerun it, it works out and seems there is no problem at all. The conclusion is that, if i start the RDA, 20 or 30 minutes after a previous RDA process, this exception is definitely coming out. BTW, the HResult in the exception is -2147012867. Help...... Cheers, Justin Did you try the higher timeout on the IIS Also try increa ...Show All

• Windows Forms Error icon tooltip not visible when editing a cell

  Hi, I copy/paste the code from the DatagridView FAQ "How do I show the error icon when the user is editing the cell " but the errorTooltip isn't diplayed when the user move the cursor over the error icon (but the CPU is 100% !!!!) I'm using a datagridview bounded to a dataview Any idea Thanks for your help That is correct. To correctly show the error icon and have the tooltip correctly show when its over the icon you'll need to create a custom DataGridViewCell that overrides GetErrorIconBounds. Without doing this, the grid still thinks the error icon is under the editing control. -mark ...Show All

• SQL Server Import from RDL file fails to update report spec

  Hello, list!  I'm new to this forum and new to Reporting Services.  Our third-party provider updates reports and sends them to us to apply on our web server.  We use the ReportManager interface to upload the RDL file and, if necessary, change the datasource.  We have been trying to update several reports for about two weeks -- one time we even deleted the report from the interface and uploaded it as if new.  Still, the changes are not reflected when we run the report via the web site. Any ideas on how to get this working   We are running SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services, service pack 2 applied two ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System A Minor fxCop Bug??

  One of the dependencies in my application is on: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook when fxCop can't find it and prompts me to browse for it it, the file dialog box prompts me to look for Office.exe or Office.dll and won't let me change it to the correct name in order to find this dependency. Is this a bug It's not a big issue - I've been able to ignore it, but it would be nice if there were a fix because I get it everytime I run fxCop. Thanks, Chuck Chuck, I can't repro this. I just tested this and FxCop asked me for either Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.dll or Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.exe. What versi ...Show All
