However, no templates are available except "Blank Solution" The case seems some Report Builder/Model Builder templates should exist What am I doing wrong What can I do to ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow published as a WebService + persistence required in Beta2

  Hi all, In moving over my workflows from beta1 to beta2, I did the publish as a webservice and all worked fine. If I have a very simple 'sample' wf as a webservice (i.e. 2 shapes, WS receive + WS Response) it works fine (without persistence) However when I start to build my more complex ones - the WebService complains that there's no persistence service added..... Question: What determines whether I need a persistence service or not ...Show All

• Visual Basic Using Namespace in vb.net is not as good as in c# why?

  I was wondering why ms decided to have the way they set up the namespaces differently between the language. c# when creating a new projects it adds the namespace to the code as well as the property. in vb it only adds to the property of the project and if you try to add it to the code it will create a double one. eg MyCompany.Application.Employee Namespace MyCompany.Application.Employee public class stuff end class end namespace calling the ab ...Show All

• Windows Forms Controls within a User Control not "stateful"

  Hello, First off, I hope that stateful is the correct word for what I'm trying to describe! I'm working on a user control (control A) that contains many controls within it (textboxes, a radio button, listboxes, comboboxes and a button - as well as a whack of labels). During a stage in the application, the form that contains the user control (form A, just say) is hidden when another form (form B) appears, and it can be re-dislayed by closing the ...Show All

I've set up a stored procedure to end the conversation on the initiator queue, but I'm guessing it's never being fired because I am not ending the conversation in the target activated stored proc, which is a CLR stored proc. Can you tell me how to ...Show All
