• Architecture Skelta Vs WWF

  I need to design a workflow application. If we set aside the fact that the WWF is still in beta phase, what would you recommend ; skelta or WWF. I think that WWF misses some features like email etc but has a strong support. Skelta makes the work very tedious like mentioning the workflow variables in different xml's, using its own libraries to access database etc. Please give recommendations with reasons in support. Thanks in advance I am biased towards WF, if only for the ease of building custom activities. Skelta is planning to adopt WF for Aquilla (code name for the next version). ...Show All

• SQL Server Remote Connection

  Could someone tell me how to remote connect to other server . Everytime when I try to connect to other server, I get an error message . Eventhough I have opened the 1433 port, allow the remote connection using both TCP/IP and named pipes, and open the firewall for connection. "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connection to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

• Visual C# !!! IF MICROSOFT HEAR US!!!

  I just saw another thread with "Can i make a app that doesnt use the .NET.  The framework is too big 23 MB".. SO... Can Microsoft create a .Net Framework just for c# not for asp or j# or visual basic providing only the neccesary dlls Please!!!! This makes me laught! You are kidding, right All the .NET Languages just create MSIL code, so the .NET Framework is allready only for 1 language. But please tell me, what is wrong with a 30MB sized framework For example: Java needs the JVM and VB6 needs the VB-Runtime, it don't know what you point is. If people have an internet connection they can download the framework with your applic ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Indigo January CTP: Creating interface-compliant proxy on top of interface with overloaded methods

  Hi! I need to build a chain of calls to one method over several components within a communication infrastructure, in which Indigo is central part (client - server with several steps in between). All involved components are to obey the same interface, which includes several overloaded methods. This is ok because the server is a normal component, not a (web) service and should remain like this. Example: I have an interface with two methods defined in the central interfaces assembly: public interface IA { bool MyMethod (string theParam); bool MyMethod (int theParam); } To bridge the Indigo co ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to get list of SC files associated to Work Item

  Hello, We frequently update our web application. On each enhancement we might change some files. In VSFS I would create Work Items for any changes, associate a Work Item to the Checkin.

• Visual Basic reading bytes in reverse order

  I need to read three bytes at the following offsets: 13583, 13584, 13585. Except, I need to read them in reverse order (13585, 13584, 13583) Say the bytes in those offsets are so: 13583 = 0E 13584 = 45 13585 = 1F Now in normal reading order it would be 0E451F which would be 935199 in decimal. But, in reverse order (the order i need) it would be 1F450E or 2049294 decimal. I have no clue how I can do this. I spent about 45 minutes looking through the object editor and found nothing that would help me. Any ideas         Dim hi, mid, lo As Byte         Dim i As I ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) DataContracts do not transmit properly (Feb CTP)

  Hello, I am building a simple chat client to evaluate the applicability of WCF to our current project. However, I am having a problem where a custom class (Fig. 1) appears to send out the data stored in it just fine, as far as I can step through anyway. But on the receiving side, the class arrives with all data fields nulled. I am using the NetTcpBinding and synchronous messaging. I am also using the SvcUtil tool to generate the metadata and proxies. Figure 1.

• Visual Studio Team System Use remote counters for load test?

  Hello - I am performing a load test using a few recorded web test scripts. The built in counters are great - but I would like to also use custom counters that are on remote servers. When I add a new computer to the 'manage counter sets' screen, I only get the option to select the built in counters, ado.net, application, etc. Is it possible to access the list of custom counters that are on the remote machine as well Thanks!

• Visual Basic VB 2005 Window Stay On Top?

  I was trying to get my form (the main form Form1) to stay on top all other windows windows(such like the Windows Task Manager) but with no luck. I tried Google and came up with several approaches: One used the SetWindowPos API call but that generated some insanley cryptic message that the call '...unbalanced the stack...'. I also tried setting the form's TopMost property to true, but that only made the main form stay on top the other forms, in the the same project, not all other windows at runtime. So far I have nothing so if anyone had this problem before please say what I'm doing wrong (or not doing at all). Thanks in advanc ...Show All

• Visual C# List of Components

  I am trying to display a list of custom components in a n application I'm working on. At Present I do this by adding all of the components to a panel with autoscrolling turned on. Because there can be up to a few hundred comoponents in the list this allows me view them all as the user can scroll through the list. However, because I am loading all of these components (which display images) I can often crash a user's machine as it runs out of memory. Is there a better component to use for this other than a panel - perhaops something that will not try to "load" the copmponents before they are displayed I realise I could probably do this my ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Security Roles in WWF

  Hi I am investigating WWF for a system design. The topic of user roles came up in todays discussion. A quick look at my SAMS WWF yellow beta book reveals no reference to User access roles appart from tracking in the SqlTrackingService. Has any work been done regarding assigning user roles to the workflow designer, or is this the hard work that is left to the developers Is there a timeframe on the roadmap for when user roles would be incorporated Peter Hi Peter, There are currently no plans to include user roles in the designer. This could be done if you built a custom end user designer. There ...Show All
