• Software Development for Windows Vista How to Obtain Fault from child activity in FaultHandler?

  How does a child activity obtain access to the Fault captured by a FaultHandler I have a code activity as a child of the FaultHandler. I simply want to spit out the message from the exception that was caught. I tried using the Parent property, expecting that to give me back a reference to the containing FaultHandler, but it was null. The only way I can figure is to add a property to the workflow to store the Fault in through a binding so that it is still accessible to the child code activity. This seems like a really kludgy/indirect way of handling things though. Is there some way more direct, for this specific situation, and hopefu ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Using CallExternalMethodActivity in a state WF machine

  Hello, I have a problem with raising an event driven who have a delay activity as a child activity(because I can not bind it with the communication service interface).. So I tried to use the CallExternalMethodActivity... but I think that in one state it's not possible to use a event driven and CallExternalMethodActivity at the same time because the designer bugs, so what the solution thanks Maaloul, It is possible to have within a state an event driven and within that event driven you can have a CallExternalMethodActivity. A state by itself can only have a StateInitialization, EventDriven and StateFinaliz ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Moving TFS databases to a different server

  My apology if this has been answered before. I need to move TFS databases (BidSB, BisDWDB, CurrituckDB, VSTEAMSCC, VSTEAMSCCAdmin, VSTEAMTeamBuild) to a different server. Is there a documented procedure to do this I guess I could copy the databases manually but how do I tell TFS to use the new databases Thanks in advance, Regards, Svega Thanks for the reply Bruce, I am very much in a situation where I have to do this: the machine on which I initially installed TFS (single server) can't handle it. I recently got a server but I can't do a single server install on it because it's running&nbs ...Show All

• SQL Server Changing Column size/type with Derived Column

  I have a number of date columns that are parsed as DT_WSTR (6) and I have written a Derived Column converting them into DT_DATE via this (found on the forums) type expression: (DT_DATE)(SUBSTRING(Date,6,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(Date,8,2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(Date,1,5)) But I really want to replace the current column, not create a new one. If I use "replace" the data is forced to be a DT_WSTR (6), and I get a truncation error at run-time. Simeon A column is identified by it's lineage Id. Deleteing a column and adding it back, even with the same name and same data type properties will cause it to change lin ...Show All

• .NET Development How to disable Events in .NET

  Hiii, I want to disable the button click event of the page if some condition goes false in the page_load event of the user control in that page. Simply if i have clicked on the button and i want if some condition goes wrong in Page_Laod event i should not fire the Button Click event.. Please help me out. Don't disable the event, just disable the button by setting it Enabled property to false. But when you want to unwire the event you can use: cmdMyButton.Click -= new EventHandler( this .cdmMyButton_Click);   This unwires the event. But again, disabling the button is friendlier for the user, because the button w ...Show All

• Visual Basic Getting data from a database using a primary key

  Hello. I am having trouble with a program. I want to be able to get some data from my database table, given the value of the primary key.

• .NET Development Timeouts

  A Treeview is used to select the record to be displayed. On clicking a node a record is displayed. It is possible to click 9 nodes & get the record displayed but the 10th bombs out with a TimeOut message. "Error. System.Data Timeout expired....." On restarting VB (2003) clicking the record causing the bomb is displayed correctly so it is not an issue with that record. I have VERY carefully checked that every "cnn.open" is correctly matched with a "cnn.close" I have also stepped through the code line by line in the debugger and the "Close"s are executed correctly. A record consists of ...Show All
