• .NET Development .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2

  Tried Installing .Net Framework 2.0 Beta 2 on Win 2003 ( no service pack 1) , and the installation crashes so can't actually install it. I think I use to have .NET Framework 2.0 either Beta 1 or Beta 2 not to sure, installed prior, I did completely remove it , before installing again. OK after much swearing I think I found the problem. I uinstalled Windows Installer 3.1 (KBxxx), becuase when I ran netfx.msi it told me there could be something wrong with the Windows Installer and the service didn't start. I believe that the GUI from .netframework just gave up. Any I removed the installer then restart ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with SQLStatePersistence

  I added the sqlpersistence service to my Workflowruntime (with a valid connection string). I have two events that i will trigger: SubmitEvent, and ScanEvent..

• SQL Server Creating a Job

  I am new to SQL Server and have a few questions: 1) We have given our clients the option to create a scheduled job for a future date. When this occurs, the jobID, the new action for the job, and the future date is inserted into a table aptly called 'Scheduling'. What we are hoping SQL Server can do is the following: Query the 'Scheduling' table based on the current date to see if there are any jobs that need their actions updated. If ( 1 ) returns a recordset, update the job's action in the 'Jobs' table with the new action Delete the rows that were queried and updated from the 'Scheduling' table I am assuming I can do this ...Show All
