• Software Development for Windows Vista Using a Create Task Activity inside a While loop

  Hi I have developed a sharepoint sequential workflow. It consists of a while loop, inside which there are 2 activities (in a sequence)- 1. Create task activity 2. Code activity Code activity is used to set the test condition of the while loop. The loop executes successfully on the first iteration. But on the subsequent iterations, an error occurs in the workflow. My requirement is to create the task repeatedly as long as while loop doesnt exit. Is this possible Any suggestions would be valuable. Can you post the error you get so that we might be better able to help you debug it ...Show All

• .NET Development SSLStream data out of order

  I am upgrading my FTP server to use SSL. I can successfully negotiate an SSL command channel in response to AUTH. I do synchronous I/O here, and all is fine. When the data channel is protected it immediately begins life as SSL. I use the same asynchronous I/O model for both SSL and non SSL modes, casting either SSLStream to a Stream, or casting the NetworkStream to a Stream to do the I/O. But when the data channel is SSL the data is arriving out of order. All bytes are always received, and the byte content is correct (just out of order). My question is, are there special restrictions, or setup required on SSLStream to do asynchronous re ...Show All

• Windows Forms MDI Parent and panels

  I have created an MDI Parent. It contains 2 panels. One panel is used for navigation and the other to display child forms. In some cases i need to pop-up the child forms instead of viewing them in the panel. But then when the panel is visible i find that the poped up child form hides behind the panel. This problem got solved if i made the panel invisible. But then i want the panel to be visible and the pop-up child form need to be shown. How can this be achieved   Thanks and regards Madhu Srinivasan It sounds like you are mixing two different form architectures. Why are you using the second pan ...Show All

• .NET Development Entering Table data error

  I'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Beta 2. I'm having a problem with the table showing up columns that I defined.  For example, in the pictures below, I've set up 3 columns:  Title, Rating, and Genre.  You can see the data type is fine, and i've set to no null entries.  When I go to enter data in the table, all that shows up is the first column, Title.  No matter how many columns I define, only one shows up in the table data.  I've included the error message too to see if anyone can figure out what it's trying to tell me.  Is there something I'm doing wrong   I watched the .NET Learning ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) XAML Geometry - How can I do a reverse clip?

  Clip enables me draw only the area within a specified region. I want to draw everything BUT a specified region. Basically, I want to define a transparent ellipse, such that I can see whatever is underneath. Thanks NIK - I don't understand how Opacity would provide an inverted a clip. Here is a simplified version. The XAML below produces a red circle (the area clipped to display) on a white square.

• Visual Studio Team System Personas vs Actors

  Before nothing, I have to say that I'm new to this Personas approach, but I've read some stuff about that and what I understood was that the main point is to focus in particular users instead of a common profile. Well, I live in Brazil, here people don't use to be in the same company for too long (I always heard that in USA people use to work in a same company for a whole life), that creates a particular condition: if we focus in specific person, big are the chances that it would change soon, even during the development phase. With this in mind, would still be a good idea think about use of personas, or should we keep with the actors approa ...Show All
