• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Express and Workflow Foundation

  Will Workflow Foundation work with VS Express 2005. Kitty Hi Kitty,    Unfortunately, no. The designer (the graphical representation of the workflow) that Windows Workflow Foundation provides will not work with Visual Studio Express. However, you can certainly use the underlying code and markup to author workflows.

• .NET Development Write Text File with the same Culture

  Hi, I developed a windows form application which writes a txt files with portuguese words with accents. The applications was developed in Windows XP in english and it writes the file correctly. But, when it runs in Windows 2000 Portuguese, the portuguese words have the accents changed to ascii simbols. How to fix it Regards, Marcelo. You need to install the font file in the machine under %System32%\fonts. You probably got the font installed in the first machine with the installation of some application or by enabling some language package but if you don't know you could copy the font file from one machine to the other. ...Show All

• .NET Development VS 2005 RC1 problem with BackgroundWorker or threads in general?

  Has anyone worked with RC1 and if so, have you encountered any problems with threading and BackgroundWorker specifically.  We are seeing about a 10 second delay before the DoWork gets called.  Also the painting of the forms is sluggish in general.  We have installed this on several machines and have had the same problems on each.

  Hi there. I have some questions about how to deal with parameters in a State Machine workflow. Parameters as far I know should be passed in the form of Event Arguments in a State Machine, that’s right The example is "inspirated" in the Expense Report sample application, except the workflow type (mostly because the WCF communication)...
