• Visual Studio Express Editions Deploying VB 2005 applications easily?

  Hello folks, I've written some VB Express 2005 applications and I'm looking for the best way/method of deploying them. Many of the machines I'm running these applications on do not have internet access and thus, do not have .net 2.0. Is there a way I can re-compile these programs in c++ express 2005 to relieve this requirement, or can I include ALL of the dependencies on a CD Thanks! I know this works in regular Visual Studio 2005, but I'm not completely sure about the Express version - I hear their Click-once deployment is basically identical. In the Solutions Properties page, click the Prerequisi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions I need to make a backup of my project - how?

  I will shortly be re-formatting my HDD and so I need to make a backup of my project and be able to re-install it later. I've looked through forums and help files but can't find any straightforward answers (I could do it easily in VB6). Any help appreciated. Thanks.

• Software Development for Windows Vista How do I get the context of the workflow instance?

  Hi, I have a client sending an xml message to a SequentialWorkflow through a remoted service. The service exposes some methods which each triggers an event. The workflow has several Eventsink activities each “listening” to a specific event.   When the event is triggered from the service, the xml message is sent to the workflow through the eventargs and is also stored in a local service variable (System.Collection.Generic.List). I can use this service variable to access every processed message.   1. Is there any way to invoke the workflow instance to get my xml message directly from the runtime instead of s ...Show All
