• Visual C++ slow linker time: Link.exe excessive PF delta

  Recently a dll that use to link in under 1 minute has started taking over 20 minutes to link. During that time, link.exe isn't using the processor at all and it is constantly page faulting. The mem usage on link.exe is around 60 MB. When my co-workers link the same project their link time is normal with link.exe fully using the processor and consuming around 250MB. Any ideas on how to force link.exe to use more memory so it isn't constantly page faulting No luck. I have even done complete clean source code builds. The problem is now chronic for all my projects. (The others are small so the delay is less.) I ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista HandleExternalEvent: event filter / correlation

  Hello folks, I am new to WF and I am completely baffled by correlation. What I am trying to do is very simple: I have a State workflow activated by a single event from my local service with a parameter in the event args to do the disambiguation. The HandleExternalEvent activities knows those values at design time, but not at compile time. What I wanted to do initially, and what is my preferred solution, is to derive a new class from HandleExternalEventActivity, add a design-time property that will match the eventarg and filter the events for events matching the property. The problem with this approach is that HandleExternalEventActivity's vi ...Show All

• SQL Server PIVOT statement whitout knowing values

  Just a small issue... I'm trying the new SQL 2005 (Express) because the PIVOT function was finally added. I've a table with three columns ID, Height and Width Now I'd like to have a table with for each height the number of ID for each Width The easiest way is to use the PIVOT statement.....but..... to use it in SQL2005 I should use:   SELECT Height, [100] AS Width01, [200] AS Width02 FROM ( SELECT ID, Height, Width FROM TestTable) p PIVOT ( COUNT (ID) FOR Width IN([100], [200]) ) AS pvt This kind of querry works perfectly in a static situation, but if I add new record in the table referencing the "300" Wi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Xaml-only workflows and customization

  I've got a question or two about the long-term plans for Xaml-only (markup-only, xoml) workflows. It seems that if you want to allow some level of end-user customization of workflows, you'll want to implement them in Xaml-only rather than using the code-only workflows. Then you can distribute a set of Xaml files with your app and load them at runtime to execute the workflows. You can even host the workflow designer and give your users a way to make changes to the Xaml in a controlled way. All of that sounds great. However, with the current way (January CTP) Xaml-only workflows are implemented, this doesn't really seem realistic. The main pro ...Show All

• .NET Development SqlDataSource/DataField Bug in 2.0 ?

  I've come across an odd situation. If someone has a table where a column name contains a space, and you generate a SqlDataSource on that column, some interesting things happen if you try to bind them. When I tried to bind, (in a GridView), the column name First Name via DataField="[First Name]", it gave a runtime error stating that [First Name] cannot be found in the sqlDataSource. Oddly enough, I took the brackets out and just sent it First Name, and got a Web Exception with only the following message: Incorrect syntax near nvarchar I've seen this posted a few times, but no real replies. I was wondering if anyone knew about t ...Show All
