• Software Development for Windows Vista Oracle persistence service ?

  I believe a SQL Server persistence service is being supplied out of the box. Are there any plans to provide an Oracle persistence service, or will this be left as "an excercise for the reader" (or 3rd party vendors...). We're not planning to provide an Oracle persistence service with the Windows Workflow Foundation runtime at this time.  So I guess you could say that it's an "excercise left for the reader".  There is a sample persistence service for the file system in the SDK.  You could certainly use it as a starting point for an Oracle persistence service: http://winfx.msdn.microsoft.c ...Show All

• Visual C# Is it possible to show FileProperties Dialog in C# without P/Invoke?

  Hi all, In Win32, I use SHELLEXECUTEINFO structure, and invoke ShellExecuteEx to display the FileProperties dialog: SHELLEXECUTEINFO proc = {0}; proc->hwnd = NULL; proc->lpVerb = "properties"; proc->lpFile = "c:\\layout.txt"; proc->nShow = SW_SHOW; proc->cbSize = sizeof (SHELLEXECUTEINFO); ShellExecuteEx(&proc);   Or simply invoking ShellExecute like this: ShellExecute(NULL,"properties","c:\\layout.txt","","", SW_SHOW );   Any of the two methods above will show me the FileProperties dialog for the file "c:\layout.txt". However, if I did the same in C# like this: System.Diagnostics. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture not available

  Hi I'm developing an application in VS2005 to run on Pocket PC 2003 with .NET Compact Framework 2.0. I want to localize the application for multiple language support. I can enable the localizable property and set different resources for the different languages. The only trouble is that I am unable to set the current UI culture.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Enable/disable popups in main menu

  Hi; We have an Add-In where we need to enable/disable a couple of menu items based on the location of the caret in the document. As an example, think of the Cut menu item in Edit - it is only enabled if text is selected in the document. Is there any event or any other method where we can enable/disable the menu items just before the menu is displayed. Possibly an event that occurs when the user clicks on the main level menu that will cause it's menu to drop down At present we use the select change event. But this is a bad solution both because it is fired all the time so we are using a lot of CPU cycles and because it does not fire when the ...Show All
