• Software Development for Windows Vista Pageflow Engine

  I have looked at some of the available samples for using WWF in a ASP.NET application. I am looking for a page flow application sample where an aspx page will pass data to the workflow and based on the rules, workflow will pass back the next page to render. I am using beta 2.2 version. In one of the post, I saw that MS is working on an page flow engine. Is this true and can we look forward to this Thanks Anandan. The only sample I have seen can be found on Jon's blog . I believe it was written with Beta 2. If it does need to be upgraded there is an document here that should help with that. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Testing not working with MS Anti Spyware?

  Hi all, I was wondering if anybody was having trouble running tests with MS's Anti Spyware Beta installed I get a window alerting me that a script wants to run. I hit allow, but by then the script has already errored out. When I turn it off, my tests run fine... Thanks, J I've found that just disabling the script blocking application agent checkpoint in AntiSpyware is enough to allow tests to run. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Errors re-installing beta 3 refresh

  We installed Beta 3 refresh a few weeks ago, and all was working fine. However, we experienced some corruption outside of Team Foundation Server that caused us to have to reinstall Beta 3 Refresh - the reasons behind the need to reinstall are a bit shady at the moment - sorry! During the reinstall procedure, we keep receiving the following error: Error 32000: The CommandLine "F:\<path name>\createds.exe" /setup /install "http:\\FUCHSIA-SERVER\ReportServer\ReportService.asmx" TfsReportds "DATA SOURCE=FUCHSIA-SERVER initial catalog = TfsWarehouse" "<domain name>\tfsreports <long guid> ...Show All

• .NET Development .NET 1.1 & SQLEXPRESS

  I am trying to access a SQLEXPRESS database which is hosted on the same machine as the web application. When I try from within my web application to connect to the database I get SQL Server Access Denied. I am running Windows Server 2003, which I can't patch to Service pack 1, becuase it can't be done remotely our server is in a datacenter.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Passing two normals for a vertex to the vertex shader

  I am having absolutely no luck with constructing my own vertex format and use it to store two normals for use in my shader. There are a number of flags which I can set to indicate various items such as position, normal, texture etc, but there is only one normal. How do I define that I want to use both normal and normal1 and for that matter normal5 I need to have a vertex which has a position and two normals. I tried storing one normal in a color for a PositionNormalColored vertex type, but for some reason it fails. I store my normal as color by setting solor to ColorFormat(normal.x / 0.5 + 0.5, .... in order to keep the normals valu ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista About new WWF beta 1.2

  I just started playing with WWF 1.2, which I downloaded following a link provided on www.theserverside.net to msdn. After watching PDC 2005 Video "Developing Event Driven State Machine Workflows" by Pravin Indurkar using WWF Beta 1 and playing that version on MSDN virtual lab, I got an impression that WWF beta 1.2  State Machine Workflow designer behave dramatically different from that of WWF beta 1. For example, I cannot move state shape around freely and if I set TargetState of a SetState Shape to another state shape, I will not get a connecting line pointing to that state shape as WWF Beta 1 would. Is this an installation proble ...Show All

• .NET Development HttpWebRequest & CookieContainer broken design & implementation

  I've spend several months working with HttpWebRequest & CookieContainer, and simply had a miserable time making it work. My question is whether there's a better approach/workaround to it, and if not hopefully these bugs will be fixed by next 'patch'. Issue #1. HttpWebRequest does not setCookies for redirects until the end of redirect. Suppose you have a scenario where you log in, gets a 302 redirect with a SetCookie header. Now, the new redirected page verifies that the cookie is set before sending the correct response. Using HttpWebRequest & CookieContainer, the second redirect request does not have the cookie that response ...Show All
