• Software Development for Windows Vista Beta2: String-Properties in Custom Activities; Custom themes

  Hi, in Beta 1 it was possible to define 'free text'-input string properties with custom activities which enabled the workflow creator to input any text in the corresponding prop of the activity in the workflow designer. Any DependencyProperty with type(string) enabled this. In Beta2 this definition enforces a total different behaviour in the Workflow Designer - it tries to map it to a Workflow member variable ...

  I have this program (actually 2) a tray app and the main app. There are settings the user can change to change the behavior of the tray. for example when the tray is running and a camera device is inserted, the user can have it auto launch the main app. (that is simple (Process.Start("PROGRAM.EXE") But there is another option (if auto launch main app if camera is inserted) that it will auto copy photos with no user interaction needed. So the tray looks for the camera every 3 seconds (will that slow the pc down ) and if they have the setting enabled it will auto copy. So if the setting is enabled i want the tray to open up the main ...Show All

• Windows Forms UserControl Design Support

• Smart Device Development Getting Contact information from Speed Dial database entries (WM5)?

  Hi, I am attempting to get information from the speed dial database in WM5. I have managed to access the "speed.db" database. I can get the DisplayName and Index for each speed dial entry (I'll post the code if anyone is interested). However I'm not sure how to get more information. I'm assuming there should be an OID in the speed dial entry that is associated with a valid Outlook Contact. However I'm not able to find this information. This webpage shows what speed.db "should" look like. There is an "object id of contacts entry", which I tried to use with "GetItemFromOid" to get the Contact, ...Show All
