• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Thread Safety on Windows Forms

  I would like to implement all my windows application logic based on workflows. This is, even the actions of showing forms and all possible pre and post actions. This way I could customize an application for a customer without needing to change code... The problem is that, as far as I know, the instance can only run on a different thread than the UI process... this way, for example, I can't open a MDIChild on a workflow... Can I run the workflow on the same thread of the UI process Thanks! Alex I never eard of that 'till now... I'll try it tonight and get back here to report the results :) Thanks! ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 SP1 issues

  I upgraded x64 bit server to SP1. Then processed my cube with the new release. I have stopped seeing some of the data for prior periods. I was partitioning the data by Fiscal Year (~50million rows per year) due to a problem earlier with backup/restore (see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=339278&SiteID=1 ). I also tried dropping the partitions and used table binding in the partition, to create one partition only. This gave the same results. I only see data for two years and only the current year was correct. The cube uses an Account dimension and that is used in the query to access the data. Is anyone seeing th ...Show All

• Visual C++ Can't run NMAKE from command line

  All: Very new to VC++. I just installed VC++ 2005 Expresss Edition Beta 2 on a Window 2000. It was activated as instructed. From the command line I entered: nmake and it gave back: 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. What should I do from here Should I set path to point the VC++ home Thanks PCZ The solution is just as you expect - the path needs to be set.  Ok, I am using VC6, and assuming the solution will be the similar, if not the same; if you have a look in the bin directory, you should find VCVARS32.BAT.  This batch file will set up the environment as you need to. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Setting focus to control in next/previous tabpage?

  Hi, I use a TabControl several places in my project, and this is what I want to do: When the user presses tab in the last control on a tabpage, I want to set focus to the first control in the next tabpage. When the user presses Shift+Tab in the first control on a tabpage, I want to set focus to the last control in the previous tabpage. If there's no next or previous tabpage, I want to follow the "normal" taborder. Is there a pretty way to do this that I have yet to discover Hi, There is no pretty way of doing this. You'll have to detect if its the last control and just sendkey a " ctrl+tab " to move to the other tabpage... &nbs ...Show All

The second will show a modal dialog ( one that takes full focu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Outlook: no Add-In does load anymore

  Hi, currently i'm developing with VSTO 2005 ans VS 2005 Team Suite for Office Outlook 2003. I wrote an Add-In with C# and it works well, creating a setup which grants the CAS too. But today i changed some code within, rebuild the solution and tried to start a debug session with a break point right in the ThisApplication.ThisApplication_Startup Method. And nothing happens!!

• System Center One Server 7 Sites!

  I keep getting a bridgehead error. How can you setup one exchange server at one site with all of the other sites connected over the wan I think this is the scenario you are asking about - please correct me if I am wrong. Using model wizard, you create a deployment with one central site hosting the Exchange servers and 7 branch sites, which just contain clients. You then delete the bridgehead server in the central site and do a simulation. At that point you get an error message that the mailstore is unable to connect to the bridgehead. This problem is not that you need a bridgehead to support the clien ...Show All
