• Software Development for Windows Vista CallExternalMethod to Terminate a Persisted Workflow

  I have a sequential WF with a CallExternalMethod Activity attached. I am wanting to tell the host to terminate another persisted workflow. I have a method in the workflow codebehind that uses the SqlTrackingWorkflowInstance class along with SqlTrackQuery to return a specific workflowInstanceId from the tracking/persistence store. I am attempting to terminate that specific workflow from my current workflow. I know in beta2 it is not possible to directly cancel another workflow. I must create an interface to talk back to the host. I've done this, added the dataExchangeService to my host and added the new service to it. My ...Show All

• Visual Basic Just wondering is it possible to change the default title of MsgBox?

  Is there a way to change the default *ugly* title of MsgBox Please don't take it wrong. I know that I can provide the 3rd parameter - but I have to do it on every call.

  I was trying to set up a replication process to move data from SQL 2005 to DB2/AS400. To get it started, I have create a simplest table (say, PERSON) on SQL 2005 server, and the same table (PERSON) on DB2/AS400. I have only one column SSN (of type int). I have journaled the table on DB2 end. I was able to have successfully configured publisher (on SQL 2005) and subscriber (i.e. a pushed subscription). I used transactional replication. And I also installed HIS 2004 to have DB2OLEDB ready. I was able to use query/insert/delete against table on DB2 based the linked server (that I created for testing purpose).

• Windows Forms Setup Project - Install Even If Existing Install of the same version exists.

  Well yet again I get myself too deep into a project to tell my boss "I dunno". Anyway I am trying to create a setup project that will run no matter if the current version is already installed or not. This is basically for my presetup and the error is kinda annoying and my boss really doesn't want it. The only thing the installer does is create some icons and registry entries. PLEASE HELP! You are not able to do this unless you change the version number. There is an option to RemovePreviousVersions on your setup project which will remove the earlier version on install. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why should I care about WS-ReliableMessaging?

  I've been trying to understand exactly why I should care about reliable service calls via MSMQ. Now I understand that TCP/IP and HTTP are not 100% reliable methods for transport but would it be safe to say that when considering an intranet solution that ReliableMessaging is almost never really worth the effort I will admit to being somewhat ignorant to the drop rates of typical web service / http calls so if someone could either quickly educate me or point me to some good reading materials I would be very appreciative. Another factor in this discussion is the idea that simply building in re-try logic for your web service call might handle ...Show All
