• Visual Studio SourceSave 2005 Install Problem

  I have Visual Studio 2005 Professional installed and it works just fine.  I have SqlServer 2005 Developer Version installed and it works just fine. Try to install VSS 2005 and I receive a dialog box saying that a trial version is already installed and it must be removed before installing another trial version. This is on a new machine with Server 2003 freshly installed.  No beta programs were installed.  Why can't I install VSS To try to get around the problem I did the following: Uninstalled SqlServer 2005.  VSS 2005 still won't install because of the "trial version" problem.

• Smart Device Development Forms closing despite OnClosing being overridden (usually on wake from sleep)

  I've got some forms that I want to keep loaded on the PPC, and as a result, I've cancelled the OnClosing event that is caused by the WM_CLOSE message as Windows CE attempts to free apps to free memory. This seems to work well when I switch apps etc. The WM_Close is sent to the app, and the WM_Close is cancelled. The problem I am having however is when I sleep the device and power it on at a later time, some of the forms I have loaded, unload. Is it possible that a more hostile message is sent to the app when resuming the device which causes some of these forms to unload (wm_destroy) Thanks again! Appreciate any help! Well t ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Saving data with SqlPersistance

  Is there a way to store extra data when doing SqlPersistance For example, I would like to store a cleaner name than the GUID and I would like to store who created the workflow or who has worked on the workflow. Are there any examples of this Thanks, Nichole You cannot store extra data using SqlWorkflowPersistenceService. You will need to create your own persistence service to do this. Take a look at the sample \Windows Workflow Foundation\Samples\Technologies\Hosting\CustomPersistenceService for creating custom persistence service. Another option is to create properties in the workflow which will ...Show All

  Had few queries in windows workflow foundation    1) how do I pend or suspend an activity inthe workflow 2) Is it possible to supend the activity in the workflow until an external data is recieved. If yes how can this be done 3) how do I set the data source for the activity in the workflow. thank you Basically you can use a listen activity with two branches.  One branch can contain an eventsink activity (as Paul mentioned) to receive an external event into the workflow and another can contain a delay activity that's initialized to your timeout interval.   The Expense Reporting Sample demonstrates how to do ...Show All

• Visual Basic Array Bounds

  Is there anyway to determine if an array has been dimensioned UBound(arrTest()) will give <Subscript out of range> error if the array is not dimensioned. I can always set a flag if the array is initialized but gets complicated in my application.  It is do-able but just curious if there is an easier way...

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to drive an OCX control in Visual C++?

  I'm trying to write a little program in Visual C++ (EE), or VB for that matter. I have an existing vendor (non-gui) OCX that I'm trying to drive. It seems like this ought to be easy, but I'm not getting anywhere. I add it to the "Toolbox" and it's present there (if I hover it gives a version #, etc), but it's grayed out (as are all of the other items listed in the Toolbox pane), and there doesn't seem to be any way to make use of the fact that it's listed there. I'm having the same problem attempting this in VB. Any ideas The control might have disabled itself because it couldn't find the license. ...Show All

• Visual Basic SQL problems

  I am having a problem with the table adapter updating. I followed the direction of the video series, by dragging the detailed view of the table from the Data Sources window, and dropping it onto the form. It fills it in, and displays the information from the database. When I fill in a new record, and try to save the new info, nothing translates to the database. Is this possibly a problem with the copy that is in the bin file I seen that the database hasn't been accessing the one in the bim but the one in the project folder. The db is supposed to be copied over when the project is run. This is getting frustrating... This topic expl ...Show All

• SQL Server Create File Option In File Connection Manager

  May be it's too late, but I think this requests could be scheduled at least for a SP1 if it's not possible for the RTM. 1) Execute Task without debugger: it would be very nice to be able to execute a single task without going in debugging mode. Just as you would ask "Start Without Debugging CTRL+F5" but for a single task 2) Customize default properties for task and component: when you drag a task on the package you get a default value for the properties that you could want to change; often I need to change the same property in the same way each time (for example I'd like to set the Batch Size for a OLE DB destination to 1000 instead than 0 ...Show All
