• Software Development for Windows Vista ASP.NET and WF viable?

  Hi, I am very much enjoying all the new technology coming out around the WF. Seen some interesting webcasts from MSDN and articles in MSDN mag. I've not seen anything about how to actually do PageFlow from the WF as described briefly in Israel's webcast on ASP.NET/WF. I've yet to see any examples here at the WF website. There are some good webcast examples using InfoPath and Sharepoint to demonstrate WF (not PageFlow). I'm wondering if anyone is even taking ASP.NET/WF as a viable option for really developing a real application. I know that there has been talk of further integration of WF with ASP.NET in VS but I seem only able to find tal ...Show All

• Visual Basic Question about Security Permission FileIOPermission

  I generated a program to read an xml file from a network drive, and display the information in a form. The program doesn't quite work until I change the security level in Visual studio (right click on the project name under solution explorer -> properties -> security -> This is a full trust program). So now, when I complie it, it runs, reads and displays data from share drive. Then I close visual studio, run the .exe program under bin\Debug, and I got an error. I don't understand why it reads the network drive file when I am in visual studio environment but not with the .exe file. Can anyone give me a hand on thi ...Show All

• SQL Server MDX problem in AS2005

  When executing the following MDX statements I get an error with AS2005 although the query seems to be valid, at least AS2000 has no problems with it.

• Visual Studio Team System How? Programmatically setting /analyze:WX-

  It's possible to set the /analyze option programmatically using something like this: Dim cfg As VCCongigurationTool Dim tool As VCCLCompilerTool ... tool = cfg.Tools("VCCLCompilerTool") tool.EnablePREfast = True However, I would like to enable the WX- option so that code analysis warnings aren't treated as erorrs (/WX is set on all our projects). How can I set the /analyze:WX- option programmatically Thanks. [Posting for Natalia Glagoleva] Yes, this is a bug. Thanks for your report. Btw, adding "/analyze:WX- /analyze" to additional options also worked. ...Show All
