• Visual C++ Intrinsic available for reading CPU flags

  Hi. I'm looking for intrinsics that allow me to read CPU flags, especially the carry flag would be important to me. I'm writng x64 application so I have no possibility to use the inline assembler therefor. I would need the flag register to check wheter a value assigned to an unsigned __int64 caused an overflow. Thanks in advance, Trenor If performance is not absolutely critical, I'd recommend not to use intrinsics and stay with portable C/C++. For example, after addition you easily can find out if there was overflow by comparing result with operands you just added. I.e. unsigned long long add (unsig ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista end-user workflow design & compilation

  In WWF, you compile a workflow, which I believe calls the workflow compiler wfc.exe, and then calls the C# compiler, which outputs a .NET assembly. What I'm wondering is how this will work for end-user workflow design, where I have re-hosted the designer in my own app. Will this require me to output the workflow definition to a file on disk, call the workflow compiler, then generate a .NET assembly from that for a specific workflow Do I end up with potentially hundreds of compiled workflow assemblies in that case, if I have many workflows  Or can I do all this compilation in memory The idea of compiling a workflow seems somewhat s ...Show All

• Windows Forms listviewitem backcolor problems

  I'm having a bit of a hard time with the framework listview right now, and I can't seem to find anyone else having the same problem, so here's  a thread to discuss it. In my application, I am setting the backcolor property of specific listviewitems in a listview to convey some state information. I'm not having problems changing the colours, (forecolor or backcolor), but for two circumstances where the listview doesn't seem to be behaving the way I would like. My listview has its view property set to "Details". 1 - This one is less serious, but if I have the backcolor and/or forecolor for a listviewitem changed, and the listview item is ...Show All

• Architecture Designing Databases for SOA

  My question relates to best practices in database design for SOA. Specifically I am looking for a guideline that will help me maximize performance and guarantee uniqueness in and SOA environment. Is it generally advisable to use surrogate keys in your tables if you are designing the data store for an entity service If so, what datatype should you use, integer, GUID I would expect that if I use surrogate keys, that they will then be used by consumers as reference data in other services. All ideas are welcome. Thanks, Jeremy Hi Jeremy, In the starting process of investigating SOA for our compa ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Outlook 2000 crashes on exit with WDS installed

  I ran into 2 problems with WDS version 2.06.0000.2083. I have just installed WDS for the first time on XP SP2. I don't have MSN Search Toolbar installed. My Outlook setup doesn't use Exchange and just connects to my ISP to retrieve email. The problem I have is that Outlook crashes on exit. I can post memory dump if necessary. Additionally, if I let WDS finish indexing while Outlook is up, WDS doesn't ever find anything in the email messages. Kind of defeats the purpose of Outlook integration. Are these known issues that I ran into If so, when should we expect to have a new version out that addresses Outlook 2000 integration Thanks. ...Show All
