• Software Development for Windows Vista Activity's Property Does Not Appear In The Properties Window

  Hi, I developed an activity in 2 phases. After 1st phase I used the activity in the Sequential Workflow and everything was OK: all the properties of the activity were exposed in the properties grid in studio. In phase 2, I added one more property to the activity class, compiled and expected to see it in the property grid, but it didn't appear. Any ideas If you mean the property is not showing up on the instance that was already added to the workflow, this can happen sometimes. Usually it will appear after switching to another activity and back or closing and reopening the workflow. If ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem registering COM objects

  These problems are unique to Vista. Problem 1: We are having an issue with recent Vista beta. Some of our existing applications are not installing properly. When COM objects are registered, the registry entry for 'InProcServer32' is left blank. Usually, this would have the path\filename of the COM object that was being registered. Any ideas why the registry is not getting properly set Problem 2: With regards to #1 above, our apps have a seperate manifest file, and one version works without COM objects properly registered, but the other does not. How can we diagnose problems with manifests Thanks, David ...Show All

Combined: ab or ba that are represented in a same way. Kind regards, Nele I'm not sure what you are asking. ab and ba would be new variables. You can do string ab = a + b; is that what you mean ...Show All

• Visual Basic Where are the Navigate Backward and Forward buttons in VS2005 VB Text Editor?

  Hi guys, Does anybody know the answer on this stupid question I get used to click on these buttons in VS2003. It was quite comfortable to get back when I 'Go to Definition'. Now, in VS2005, I have to remember from what place I jumped to Definition in order to get back. I've ticked off the Tools->Options->Text Editor->All languages->General->Navigation Bar checkbox but it didn't help.

  Hi Everyone, Why the application rasing error: "Dynamic SQL generation is not supported  against multiple base table." while executing SqlDataAdapter What mistake I am doing Can anybody help Thanks in Advance, Jose Jose, Rather than use the SqlCommandBuilder to generate your update logic at run-time, you can set the SqlDataAdapter's InsertCommand, UpdateCommand and DeleteCommand to call your stored procedures as David showed in his previous post.  This will allow you to submit the pending changes from your DataSet to your database by calling SqlDataAdapter.Update.
