• Software Development for Windows Vista Does anyone know how to get WF working with WSS Event Handlers?

  I am trying to get a workflow instance to run from a Windows Sharepoint Services document library event handler. The problem I am encountering is that you can only run one instance of the WorkflowRuntime per appdomain - WSS events all seem to run in a single appdomain, so if I call the WSS event handler more than once, it crashes out with an error. I haven't been able to figure out a way to locate and re-use the exising instance. Ideally I'd like to use the instance of WorkflowRunTime loaded into IIS (in the same way that you would for an ASP app), but WorkflowRequestContext .Current.WorkflowRuntime doesn't work from ...Show All

• SQL Server How would you archive a subset of your db if you had to?

  I have a database with 6 tables that are all joined together in one way or another. At certain points in time I want to take a subset of the records in one table(based on a criteria in that table) and 'catalog' them somehow along with the related records in the other tables. It's somewhat hard to explain. I want to preserve a point in time in the db so that at a later point in time I can reinstate the records as they were in the past. Is this even possible I thought one way to do it would be to create a view(with all 6 tables) that accepts a parameter and then exports all of the records that are returned into another table. Not sure how I wo ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ElementName does not work on derived UserControls?

  I used the sample http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=96651&SiteID=1 of Beatriz, where a slider changes the LayoutTransform of a TreeView. The only thing i changed was that i use "UserTreeView" instead of TreeView. Whereas UserTreeView ist derived from TreeView. Here is the exception: Cannot find source for binding with reference 'ElementName=slider'. BindingExpression:Path='Value'; DataItem=''null''; target element is 'UserTreeView (Name='tree')'; target property is 'LayoutTransform' (type 'Transform'); Is this a bug Or is anything wrong.

• Visual Studio Team System TFS Security

  If I add "Domain\Domain Users" group to "Project\Contributors" then domain users ("Domain\User1") cannot access TFS. If I add "Domain\User1" to "Project\Contributors" group then everything works. Is this by design or a bug The Beta 3 refresh code has a problem detecting group membership if the group is set as the user's primary group.  By default, all users have the Domain Users group set as their primary group, so the Beta 3 refresh code thinks that the Domain Users group has no members.  The workaround is to create another group in Active Directory, and add the users to it.  This problem is ...Show All
