• Software Development for Windows Vista Using InvokeWorkFlow Activity

  Hello - We have a program hosted by the Console that consists of two workflows. The first waits in a while loop for text files to appear in a folder; when one does, this workflow uses InvokeWorkFlow to kick off the second workflow which will write the file name into another file. The problem is that when the second workflow is finished, the first workflow gets terminated. Why is that I've understood from the documentation that this should not happen. Thanks, Mike Michael - Does the first workflow get 'terminated' or 'completed'. If it gets terminated, can you find out the reason for termination by subscribing to the workflowtermi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System HTTP Status Code: Unathorized - Unathorized

• Visual Studio Team System How does code coverage works ?

  Hello, I have a web site that uses a DLL. I have also written some unit tests. Part of them are calling directly the DLLs (and I have set up my run config so VS calculates the code coverage) and part of them are launching HTTP Web Request on the web site (and so of course using behind the same DLL). With my second kind of test, even if the samee DLL is used, no code coverage is calculated. So my questions: Is this normal The same code is executed so I was thinking code coverage would be calculated How can I set up my run config to ask VS to calculate also code coverage for that kind of tests As I have read on some ot ...Show All

• SQL Server Souce and Dest auto-mapping

  Hi, in my package there are several Connection Managers linking DB2 databases and there is one "fake" CM which copies the connection string of one of the other "real" CM depending of the need. Then I've made a Data Flow containing an OLE DB Source and a Destination Adapter. The Destination has a "table name from variable" access through a fixed Connection Manager, and the Source has "sql command from variable" access and uses the "fake" Connection Manager, which has "inherited" the connection string from one of the "real" CMs. The point is: When I drag the arrow from the OLE DB Source to the Destination, some mapping metadata are set, and th ...Show All

• Visual Studio Copy/Paste

  Is it normal that when I selected a shape, the copy/paste operations are disabled I suppose copy and pasting of shape is not supported Is there an easy way to make it work Thanks! Mike Hi Mike, Yes, that's the expected behavior.  We're not planning to enable Copy/Paste by default for V1, although it's not too hard to implement yourself.  Hopefully we'll have a V1 code sample that shows this.  If you're interested in trying this in the meantime, here are a few pointers: Copy: 1.  Add a handler for StandardCommands.Copy to your command set.  2.  Create an ...Show All
