• Visual Studio Support for generics in code model

  I have a problem with getting information about generics from code model, e.g. how can I obtain information about generic parameters from CodeClass2 Any ideas How are generics supported by code model (I have found only isGeneric method in CodeClass2/CodeInterface2/...) I think that ther should (an probably there is) better support. I have been looking for it in EnvDTE80 namespace, but I have not found any interesting classes/methods...

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dyanamic State Work flow

  Hello: Order processing state machine workflow sample given on www.windowsworkflow.net has fixed states that a PO can go through. My question is, if based on kind of PO/Products/Customer involved, we need to dynamically decide the states for a PO, can it be done If so, what should be the steps Thanks Jatin Jatin - I can think of two ways off the top of my head - but there may be other (and potentially better) ways. One would be to create a StateMachineWorkflow template, and for each PO/Products/Customer use WorkflowChanges and dynamic change to dynamically add States to your workflow. Anothe ...Show All

• Visual Studio Splash screen icon size problem

  I have a managed package that implements IVSInstalledProduct and sets UseManagedResourcesOnly = true in the registration with an icon having both 32x32 and 16x16 image types for the splash screen/about box logo. The 16 x 16 image is not used for the splash screen, instead the 32 x 32 image is resized for the tiny splashscreen icon space which doesn't look good. Before I switched to use managed resource only, the logo works fine with my satellite dll resource. I changed the C# sample comes with the October CTP and it also only uses the 32 x 32 icon for both splash screen and about box. Am I missing something Does anyone ha ...Show All

• SQL Server How can I turn off the encrypted login feature?

  Hi all. My question is, is there any option that turning of the login encrypt I've read many post that they said the login encryption is always on and can't turn that off. With MSSQL2K, I made some program that audit who try to login and when and access which db. But I can't check with MSSQL2K5 because the server and client always encrypt the login info (via TLS ) Someone said that profile the client but when the site is busy, that feature give heavy stress to server.. The port mirror server is another machine so I need 1. decrypt the login info or 2. turn off the login encryption feature. Is there any possible way to solve this ...Show All

• Visual C++ char array

  I am trying to create a 3-dimensional array that stores records in 38 rows, with 3 columns. This array has a mixture of letters and numbers, so I declared a char array, the problem is, the rows with more then one character get truncated (00, 10, 11 become 0, 0, 1). Is there a way I can declare this array properly in order for it to allow me to have 2 characters in certain sections Below is a sample of the array. char array[38][3] = {{'0', 'G', '1'}, //3 dimensional array; number, color, column {'00', 'G', '3'}, {'1', 'R', '1'}, {'2', 'B', '2'}, {'3', 'R', '3'}, {'4', 'B', '1'}, {'5', 'R', '2'}, {'6', 'B', '3'}, {'7', 'R', '1'}, {'8', 'B', ' ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to build the LAP sample code?

  Hi, I am trying to implement a custom password applet that displays instead of the standard builtin password screen. This was possible using pre-WM5 by creating an applet and setting (amoungst others) the Redirect registry setting for the password control panel applet. Using the letmein msdn example (which i have digitally signed to allow it to load at boot-time), this functionality no longer appears to work - the standard builtin password screen always displays. I have successfully managed to get other signed files to load at boot time. Is there any way to load a custom password applet, or has this functionality been removed in Windows Mobi ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to use Microsoft Office Document Imaging inside vb6 application

  I need to add a viewer in my vb6 application that opens a tiff file. I would like to use MODI and it's functionality (i.e. zoom, etc.).
