• SQL Server Using a OCX created for use with Access

  Hello, I need some help getting an OCX to work in reporting services that works great in access. I have repeatedly asked the vendor of the software to get this working with no help. They say their customer base is not savvy enough to move to reporting services, but I love reporting services and have moved all but a few reports over which require this ocx. Is there a way to make this OCX work without the vendor having to rewrite It dra ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Correct approach to using Workflow - light or heavy?

  What is the "correct" way to use Workflow: Workflow should be as code-light as possible and only have the bare minimum of code, with the 'meat' in external modules, called from workflow if required. Workflow should contain the code as the process definition is then integrated in one place I like the idea of approach (2) but without experience it's difficult to guess. I am writing an app in which the same workflow process, e.g. Credi ...Show All

• Visual C# Aspect Oriented Programming frameworks for .NET

  Hi there, I'm currently investigating the use of AOP frameworks for our product. Specifically, we will only be using it for logging method calls during debugging sessions.
