• Software Development for Windows Vista Problems with state persistence and timer services

  Hi, I've experimented with adding the SQL state, timer and tracking services to the Lab1 sample step 4 (the expense report approval workflow). The tracking service works fine, but it seems that the state and timer services get the engine stuck on the ListenForManagerApproval activity. If I disable the state and timer services the workflow unfolds as expected. I use the (really cool) Workflow Monitor sample to view the results, and the progress is evident every time: With the state and/or timer service enabled, the flow gets stuck on ListenForManagerApproval  and then after a while the workflow gets the status "aborted". Any ideas why ...Show All

• Visual C# Variable doesn't increment

  Hi, I'm creating a Tetris game in which I have an 'x' and a 'y' variable. At first they are set to 0. I use a timer to change the 'y' value to move the figure down. Here's the code: private void timer1_Tick( object sender, EventArgs e) { y++; Graphics grfx = this .CreateGraphics(); PaintEventArgs f = new PaintEventArgs (grfx, this .ClientRectangle); DrawFigure dr = new DrawFigure (f, x, y); grfx.Dispose(); if (y > 569) timer1.Stop(); } Yet, after each event, 'y' goes back down to 0, instead of incrementing. Why is this happening No, I put the volatil ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem recreating database

  Had a crash and am trying to recreate my database. I have large files (200mb each)created using sql 7, a mdf and ldf file. When restoring on sql 2000 I get an internal consistency error trying to attach the mdf and ldf files. It fails half way through. I desparetly need this database restored and would appreicate any help Hi, you could try to use the sp_attach_single_file_db and hope that this will be successfull. Seems that your database is inconsistent, do you have a valid backup That would be the best solution. Otherwise I hope for you that only attaching the MDF file with the above command works for you.

• .NET Development How to share an object between an aspx thread and a web service thread?

  I have a Web Service project "WS" that has in it: MyWebService - derived from System.Web.Services.WebService MyClass - base class. I have an ASP .NET project "Test" that has a Test.aspx that creates an instance of WS.MyClass and calls a method on it. In this method I create a System.Threading. ManualResetEvent object.

• Visual Studio Team System Static analysis question

  I want to help a coworker in tracking down a spurious crash by using the Statically Analyze commmand in Visual Studio 2005, but I decided to give it a test drive first.

I assume the "issuer" is my STS, but I don't know how to configure it to match the client app setting or if the client app setting should be changed.

• SQL Server Storing values from an array to a SQL database

  Im not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question for suggestions, but im gonna go ahead and ask anyways. I have an array that has the x, and y co-ordinates of a graphic that was moved around by the user on the screen. Each user will create a name for the different motion, say Motion1..2...3..etc. (so each motion is considered a different set of x and y co-ords). Im trying to figure out the best way to save this data. i thought of saving the data into either 1 table for each user or 1 database for each user with multiple tables for each motion. so the tables are going to store the x, y co-ord and any other relevant data. ...Show All
