However, if i change the membership condition of its code group from 'site' to 'strong name', the component fails to load. I've followed the instructions for using sn.exe&nbs ...Show All
Software Development for Windows Vista (State Machine || Sequential Workflow) || (State Machine + Sequential WorkFlow) ??
There has been a lot of talk about State Machines are good for human workflow and the sequential workflows are good for system workflow. I would like to present some issues about the state machine for human workflow and get opinions. First, I agree that human workflows are good for the state machine. First they are easy to understand because there are single state. So “Awaiting Approval”, and ”Completed PO” are easy to understand. However using this approach the workflow can only be in one state at anytime. In human workflow a big advantage is to allow a task of items to be handled by more than one resource.&n ...Show All

Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What causes CommandBinding.CanExecute delegate to be invoked ?
I have a button that executes a command when it's clicked. I have a CommandBinding instance associated to that command, and also methods to: * Allow/disallow execution * Preview execution * Handle execution All 3 are being called. It's obvious when the last 2 will be called but not the first one. Depending on a specific application state, my CanExecute method will return true or false. When the application starts it returns false which makes the button is disabled, as I expected. As the application runs, its state is changed, but the button is still disabled because it didn't call CanExecute to get the new value. What's strange is that when ...Show All
Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Most efficient way to draw a colored square (no, really!)
Yeah I know, this sounds really lame... I've actually got textures, input, sound, physics and a bunch of other stuff working, but I have to conclude that the method I'm using to draw a starkly colored square is murderously inefficient. I can add 50 textured squares to my scene and lose maybe 40 frames per second... but adding 20 colored squares to my scene kills about 600 frames per second... from a human standpoint, this makes no sense, since a textured object is much more intricate than a red square, so I'm obviously doing something really bad somewhere. The lowdown on how I'm drawing these "squares" is that I create a D3D ...Show All
SQL Server can't modify stored proc which is in a publication
Hi SQL 2005 sp1 - merge replication - HTTPS. We have 2 publications for the database - one which has subscription.SyncType = SubscriptionSyncType.Automatic and another with SyncType = SubscriptionSyncType.None. The first publication is there so we can add new stored procs etc, the second contains the initial schema and the data. When we try to modify a proc which is in the publication with SyncType = Automatic, the query never returns. This is most urgent - thanks for your help. Bruce There are 2 subscriptions - one for each publication - but the proc is only in one publication ...Show All

Visual C# TextBox Right-click problem
Hi, I've got a problem with right-clicking a ListBox which doesn't seem to get triggered. I have a ListBox with a vertical scroll-bar (my list has over 2,700 entries). What I want to do is be able to right-click to select a row (as I already do with a left-click), but my context menu will pop up also (just like what happens when you right-click any file in Windows Explorer). At the moment, my context menu pops open, but the right-click doesn't highlight the row at the mouse pointer location. I have tried setting events on the TextBox for things like Click, MouseClick, MouseDown and they all work fine for the left mouse button, but w ...Show All
