• Software Development for Windows Vista Deploying WWF Beta 2...

  Hi, I've got a problem - my workflows work on the development pc but not on the production server. I'm using WWF Beta 2, both machines are in a very similar hardware configuration. The error message that i'm getting is: "Cannot create more than one WorkflowRuntime per AppDomain". The way that i'm creating WorkflowRuntime object is as follows: public WorkflowRuntime WFRuntime { get { if (_runtime == null ) { try { _runtime = WorkflowWebRequestContext .Current.WorkflowRuntime; } catch ( Exception ) { _runtime = new WorkflowRuntime (); } } return _runtime; ...Show All

• SQL Server Import from Interbase

  Hi all... How do I import data from a Borland Interbase 6 database to a SQL Server 2005 Standard database When I try do an import from within Management Studio, I can connect to the ODBC datasource, but I have to write a manual query for each individual table to get the data across. I am using the OpenSource Firebird ODBC driver. The funny thing here, is that I tried to import into a SQL Server 2000 database and it worked 100%. I could connect to the interbase DB, all tables were pulled, I ticked each on and completed the import wizard. It worked 100%. SQL Server 2005 will not work though. And using exactly the same methods and prop ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VS2005 Unittest and build actions

  I'm trying to migrate my NUnit tests to VS2005 unit test. My project uses build actions to copy configuration files into the output directories (e.g. by Spring xml files goes into a spring subdirectory) I have read the suggestions in http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx PostID=7510 but the result is the files are copied into the out directory and not into the out/Spring directory as I would like. I find it rather odd, that the unitest does not run the post build actions, and that the test directory copy does not create the directory. Any clues, I'll really like to migrate my team from NUnit to VS2005, but maintaining separate conf ...Show All

• Visual C++ convert from char a[MAX_PATH] to LPCWSTR

  hi, i have 2 variables like char * username char sysname[MAX_PATH] i need to use "NetUserGetInfo" windows API method, which takes two LPCWSTR strings, how can i convert the above sysname,username to pass them to NetUserGetInfo. thanks If you put the USES_CONVERSION macro in your code, then A2W will convert to a wide string for you. There's an include, it's AtlConv.h . Or you can include commutil.h and use the _bstr_t class, which will convert between them on your behalf ( it uses A2W behind the scenes ) LPCWSTR means a long pointer to a const wide string. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. texture translation not working when using d3dxmatrixtranslation

  Man I got a big problem that is drinving me crazy!! I have to apply some texture coordinate transformations at render time for some effects (not using shaders!!) using the d3dDevice->SetTransform( D3DTS_TEXTURE0, &matTrans ); Rotations and Scaling are working perfectly using the d3dx functions to get the matrix. But, when I try to apply translations to the texture coordinates, the funtion D3DXMatrixTranslation is not working: the matrix generated by it does nothing with the texture!!!

• Visual C++ ComboBox Help

  Hi. I am making a program that has a combo box in it. It is a static drop-down list. I want to be able to open a certain window when "Test window" is selected in the box. How do I do this. I am programming this using Visual C++ 6.0. It is a MFC so if I could get any help that would be wonderful. Thanks. There is a selected index changed event on the combo box. Handle this event, and then check the text being displayed with GetWindowText(), if it's Test window', then act accordingly. You could also do it by index, if the index won't change, but if it does for some reason, your code will break later. ...Show All
