Some time later, the workflow is subject to change (added state, and so on). The assembly is generated, and then used with existing (running) workflows. My question: What happens if I have to change an assembly where contained workflow types are running at the time I have to change ...Show All

• Visual Studio Where's the MSBuild Project Type?

  There's a Makefile project in the VC project system which is handy for integrating old (non-VC) stuff into Visual Studio.  I would like to the MSBuild equivalent.  That way, I could move the old stuff over the MSBuild files.  I would then expect the integration with VS to be at least as good as it is with makefiles (if not somewhat better - files in item groups would just show up in the project). ...Show All

• Windows Forms resize a richtextbox

  How do I resize a RichTextBox control to be as high as its content There appears to be no way to do this . I've seen several "solutions" which all basically revolve around this code: RichTextBox1.Height = RichTextBox1.Font.GetHeight * RichTextBox1.Lines.Length   that is; count the number of lines and times it by the height of the font. Unfortunately, this counts the height of the first font on the rich text control that it enco ...Show All
