• .NET Development Can I use ZIP files in C#?

  Hi, I've been watching around for a while now but in the end came up with nothing. I want to write an application in C# .NET 2.0 that can handle ZIP files. It must read any files from archives into memory or disk files and create new archives from files on the disk and from memory. I have read and tested the J# article from supposedly 2 years ago but failed with the writing to memory part due to incompatibilities between C# and J#. (That CLR is not so common after all.) Also requiring another runtime for my little tool seems a bit too much. Then I took a brief look at #ziplib but it seems that code isn't even half finished. From th ...Show All

• Windows Forms Narrowing down the rtf code to its bare bones

  I am using a rich text box to populate sections of a document from a database.  I am also dynamically building tables with rows and cells with in the rich text box.  Everything seems to be working well except for sentences that are bigger than the cells.  Instead of the cells expanding to fit all of text, it allows the text to run out of the cell.  My question is, is there a way to have the rtf cell expand to fit all of the text   I opened the rtf code in WordPad and it worked fine, but it still doesn't work in my rich text box project.  Any ideas of what I need to do to make it work in ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Durable and non-Durable Workflows in same Workflow Runtime

  Hi, I've got a question about supporting workflow instances that are both durable and non-durable within the same runtime. As I understand it if a workflow persistence service exists in the service container then the engine will call it for every workflow instance. If it doesn't exist, then obviously workflow instances are not persisted. If I want to have a mixed model where I could somehow 'mark' a particular workflow as durable, in other words, use the persistence service whereas another workflow would be run in-memory without persistence, how would I go about it I thought about a combined database/in-memory persistence service, h ...Show All
