• Software Development for Windows Vista difference between state machine and sequential workflow

  hello every body can some one help me to know the difference between state machine workflow and sequential workflow. what's the advantages of every one thanks for help One of the best advantages to a state machine workflow is the ability to describe a process based on business events. Especially in document management types of workflows. Describing workflows based on state also enables users to see clearly what the status of a workflow is. Also, state machine workflows are easier to code based on events and the process of listening for them. Sequential workflows are more ideal for processing and linear stepping logic type of w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Form refreshing issue.

  I'm currently trying to learn Windows Forms by porting a game I made for Java to C#. The issue I have is that whenever I refresh the positions on my game board, either with Refresh() or Invalidate(), the form gets cleared, paints the plain grey window, and repaints the images on top of it. As such, it flickers between the game board images and the plain grey window behind them. Is there some sort of way that I can make it simply draw on top of what is already there One thing I have tried is repainting the images on top of one another without leaving OnPaint(). That does work, however, if I were to use this as a solution, I'd have to write ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Suggestion for WPF - Navigation Transform

  Hi All I've been checking out the January CTP, and the Sells/Griffiths book, and I'm really excited about WPF...I'm experimenting with translating a Windows Forms app and a different ASP.NET app into WPF, and it's looking good for both! As far as I can see from my explorations, the navigation stuff in WPF just does a straight replacement of the target page in the application. I would love to see transforms between the pages - eg pages displayed on the faces of a cube, and navigating rotates the cube, or pages are arranged in a z-order stack, and navigating zooms through one page to another, or gamma-fade and restore, or flipping around ...Show All

• Visual C++ Managed COM

  Hi, i wanted to expose some application COM classes written in C++ to other COM capable languages so i tried to write some test classes and exported a *.tlb with regasm.exe. But it doesn't work cause neither interfaces with id's nor class id's are defined in the *.tlb So there is some kind of a exporting problem. Heres the code: // Class interface AppInterface [Guid( "4F588E58-C85C-4b8c-A831-CDE454B5C218" ), InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType::InterfaceIsIUnknown)] interface class AppInterface {   String^ GetAppVersion();   void Initialize(); }; // Events interface AppInterfaceEvents [Guid( "57EA6615-5526-42d4-9039-2A0FC ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I capture the event of closing a form?

  I have applied Form1_Closing() event handler to capture the Form-Closing event, but failed many times. I attempted to use this .Closing += new System.EventHandler( this .Form1_Closing ); to add the event handler, always suffered from a syntax error. Who can give me some successful C# source codes to fulfill the purpose. You might want to consider overriding the OnClosing event in your form rather than hooking up an event to it.  To do this, add the following code to your form: protected override void OnClosing( CancelEventArgs e) {   MessageBox .Show( "Test" ); } ...Show All
