• SQL Server DTC problem

  I have a master package that executes a series of sub packages. The sub packages run in a series with OnSuccess precedence constraints between them. The master package is run from a SQL Agent job. When I run the master package without setting TransactionOption = Required at any level they all work fine. However when I set TransactionOption = Required at the master package level (and Supported from there downwards) the first package in the series of sub packages executes (as reported in the Event Log), but the next package does not seem to start . . . however the SQL Agent job keeps running indefinitely. If I disable the second package ...Show All

• Windows Forms Launching and Controlling Browser Window from Windows Form

  Hi all! This may be more of a JavaScript issue, but if so, maybe somebody out there has an existing example of what I'm looking for. I'm trying to launch a IE browser window from a windows form and have some control over the window that was launched. Specifically, I want the browser to present with everything stripped out except the chrome frame and to force the same browser window to reload on each windows event, rather than open a new one each time. I'm used to doing this in JavaScript from an .aspx form, using the window.open( ) method: window.open("./GraphViewer.aspx graphType=3","SameWindowName&qu ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Uninstalling DirectX

  I have version 9.0b and I was trying to upgrade to 9.0c, but got an error during installation saying a required cabinet file cannot be trusted. At first I just thought this meant the file to install 9.0c was damaged so I got a new installer from here, but got the same error. So I figured there was a problem with the DirectX already installed on my computer. I went into DXDIAG and after only about 30 seconds it crashed my computer while it was scanning my DirectX files. After all this I've found that my current DirectX version is corrupted, and I cn't fix it by installing another version. I believe this is also preventing me from installin Wi ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Useful information that isn't in the warehouse.

  I'm trying to create a graph for a report that shows the inventory of a type of work item over time, among other statistics.  The problem is that the TfsWarehouse database doesn't have System.DateCreated in it.  When I tried to change the template so that System.DateCreated had an attribute of reportable="dimension", uploading the template resulted in the following error: "Actual reporting settings for the field System.CreatedDate are different from those specified in the XML. Changing these settings it prohibited." Is there any way to get the TfsWarehouse database to include this and other system variables that it currently doesn' ...Show All

Upon hosting the WorkflowRuntime, and I fire up a sequential workflow, how do I know when it's finished (I'd like to be able to use the Async features in ASP.NET 2.0) The reason why I ask is most of the examples either wait on the current thread - waitHandle.join() etc., or workflowRuntime.WorkflowCompleted += new ......run my workflow completed routine. At any point in time there could be 200 workflows running and I dont want all the pages with registe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions include iostream error

What do i need to do From version 7 onwards I think, they removed iostream.h. But the iostream STL header is still there. So #include <iostream> is what you have to do, but there is something slightly more you need to do. It is in a different namespace from normal, so you also need using namespace std; in your c ...Show All
