• Software Development for Windows Vista Clarification about Scheduler services and Workflow Hosts

  Hi there... I have some questions about the scheduler services and workflow hosts. I'm building a WF application using a State Machine workflow and ASP.NET. I' ve read few times that is better use the ManualWorkflowSchedulerService than the DefaultWorkflowScheduler service. I know the differences between them, the first one donate a thread where the workflows instance will be run, this means the workflow instance is synchronous with the Host. DefaultWorkflowScheduler service it's different, creates threads for the workflow instances, this means the workflow host is asynchronous with the host. If my host  ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System TFS thinks I am TFSETUP

  When I connect to our TFSServer for some reason it thinks I am TFSSetup.   I cannot find anything in the registry to tell it otherwise and it appears that it is only happening to me.  Any ideas Gary A. Bushey That's the first I've ever heard of that.  TFS picks up "who you are" by examining your Windows credentials (who the IIS server sees you as).  Here is some sample code that you can build into a tool to check who the server thinks you are. Create a C# console application, add a reference to Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll and put this code in the main file.  Then run it passing the server o ...Show All

• Windows Forms Using DirectX over GDI for complex windows forms

  When making large controls that can draw quite a lot of data at once (when scrolling up and down) is it best to move over to DirectX because come of my clients are getting out of memory errors when they do large searches (see the link for a screen shot of the control). I can’t see t being a problem with my code as i have gone through the entire thing tweaking it, as far as I can tell its when the users scroll up and down a lot. This causes the control to redraw what it needs and get rid of everything that no longer needs to be drawn, however when they scroll up and down the garbage collector cant free up the resources fast enough, I’m th ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Uninstall_Init() and Uninstall_Exit()

  can some one teach me how to use Uninstall_Init() and Uninstall_Exit() in .net compact framwork. My system will save some data into ppc registry, i want to delete those data when user uninstall my system. Can someone teach me how to do that You can not, setup DLL needs to be native. You can delete registry entries without setup DLL though. To do so add these registry entries to your CAB (e.g. with default values) and installer will delete them for you upon removal of your application. ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to Port MFC to .NET; from VC6 C++ to Managed C++ and/or C# .NET

  Can someone point me to information on how to port and/or reuse a portion of a huge MFC app to C# .NET managed and/or C++ .NET managed code. Willing to rewrite most of the user interface, but need to preserve/modify existing code that is based on 50+ classes derived from MFC's CObject.  I need the "Serialize" portions of CObject so that my existing data files can be read into the ported app, or so I can create a conversion app. I already have everything compiling and running in VS.NET C++ 2003 using MFC.  But this is not a Managed code app, and C# can't talk to it in an interop kind of way.  Further, it can't use 3rd ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista hi

  Hi all, Several samples show how to exchange data between host and workflow: define an interface with DataExhangeService attribute on it, implement the service and add the service to the workflowruntime (of configure in web.config). In my state machine I would like to be able to read and write a dataobject in every state. The object I would like to be able to read and write is passed at startup of the workflow instance as a parameter. Do I have to add eventdriven activities to every state to: A) listen to a 'WriteDataToWorkflow'-event to update the dataobject contained by the workflow B) listen to a 'ReadDataFromWorkflow'-even ...Show All
