• Software Development for Windows Vista Retrieving current state

  I am running an ASP.NET site using WWF, I've chosen to implement a StateMachineWorkflow. In several samples I've seen, navigation between pages is done by Repsonse.Redirect(). In stead of using this mechanism (which seems to me hard to maintain), I would like to ask my current workflow its current state and then navigate to the corresponding page. How can I get a reference to the instance of the workflow I started an is currently running I tried the following (which doesn't work, CurrentStateId remains null as mentioned earlier in this forum, however the solution doesn't seem to work for a web app, since the StateMachineTracking service h ...Show All

• .NET Development Porting C++ pointer code to C#

  Hi, I have a piece of C++ code that does a lot with pointer arithmetic in order to parse a char[] array into many different fields. The data is a block from a tape, so for example the first block of data contains such information as tape id, number of files on the tape etc. Most, but not all, of the individual fields in the data are null terminated. I'm looking for the best way to accomplish the same thing in C#. I'm used to pointer arithmetic in C++, but I'm not that familiar with C#. The C# code that I have (in an unsafe method) looks like: char[] tapeHeader = new char[1024 * 256]; UInt32 count = (uint) tapeHeader.L ...Show All

• .NET Development Client information available to server

  Hi, I have an remoted object served by IIS.  I'm looking to find out what information I can get about the client that has connected or is making a particular method call. I saw an MSDN article saying that I could use System.Web.HttpContext.* to get some information about the client, but I'm unable to use .HttpContext for some reason.  All I get available to me under the System.Web namespace is ASPNetHostingPermission, ASPNetHostingPermissionAttribute, and ASPNetHostingPermissionLevel. Can anyone steer me in the direction of being able to find out information about the client making the connection to my remote object Thanks, M ...Show All

Thanks. Hi David, There were some problems having files or folders with '$' character part of the name. The decision was that $ will not be allowed anymore as part of a filename. Same thing applies for '%' as part of ...Show All
