• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) targetNamespace

  In my WSDL, I see <wsdl:definitions name="MyService" targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/">.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Threads in long running activities

  In my project we are going to provide quite a big library of custom activites. Most of them will take too long to be executed completely within Execute() method, so the idea is to spawn a new thread in Execute() and return immediately. It is really important to have these activities executed asynchronously from the main workflow thread because in a typical case there will be multiple such activities run in parallel. I've already seen others have similar problems ( see Alwo's post "Timeout Activity"). jxxxs, Unfortunately, there is currently no way to satisfy both your requirements (true asynchronous execution without any servic ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS.Net 2005 & VSS 6.0

  Sorry, I could not find an answer to this already... Will Visual Studio .NET 2005 (Professional ed.) work with Visual Source Safe 6.0   Has anyone attempted this with a beta version Actually, remote and delete propagation will work, but only from client -> database. Synchronizing deletes/renames using Get dialog will not work (propagation database -> client) as it requires new functionality in the provider. Another thing that will only work halfway is getting new files added in the database for web projects. VSS 6.0 has no capabilities of enumerating new folders in the database through MSSCCI functions used by VisualStu ...Show All

• Visual Basic VB Express: can I use VB 2005 .net books?

  Except for the features that are not supported by VB Express: Applications that connect to a networked database Interact with Microsoft Office Support mobile devices or 64-bit operating systems Remote debugging (any others I haven't listed ) Would books about Visual Basic 2005 still be highly relevant for Express users Also note that there are some differences in the user interface - for example, the Server Explorer in VB 2005 is replaced by the Database Explorer in Express. You will run into other situations where the description in the book is different than what you see in the IDE, b ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem creating a parallel version of the ForEach example activity

  I am trying to create a custom activity that is similar to the ForEach example posted in the custom activity gallery: http://www.windowsworkflow.net/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx Control=2222&tabindex=2   The code below is basically modifications to that sample (i.e. the activity inherits from CompositeActivity, etc.) The difference is that I want the set of activities executed to be done in parallel rather than serially. I’ve been trying to figure out how to accomplish it but have been running into some (perhaps naive) problems. The code looks like the following:   private void ExecuteChild( ActivityEx ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Installation hanging (Dec CTP 5270)

  I'm installing Vista Dec CTP (5270) on a HP Pavilion zd8000 (3.2 ghz, 2gb ram, 7200 rpm drive), and I get a screen that says "completing installation", but then that changes to a screen that says "Installation is taking longer than expected, but should be finishing soon." I left it on all last night (10 hours), and all day today (8 hours - after I started the installation over), and it stays on that screen. Any advice gibbensr@hotmail.com Many thanks to TPM01 for the suggestion that disabling the wireless hardware on a Dell laptop would allow one to get past the problem of the installation of build 5270 han ...Show All

• Visual C++ How to get rid of the funny scroll bar or expand it in a Dialog?

  I add items to the comboBox by _ASSERT( CB_ERR != SendDlgItemMessage(hwndDlg, IDC_LIST_CONTEXTS, CB_INSERTSTRING, 0, (LPARAM)_T( "None" )) ); In C#, the comboBox automatically drops down to a certain size before it has that scroll bar. Here in my C++ Dialog, the comboBox when you click on the down arrow, it drops down another row with a tinny up and down button(underneah the comboBox's big down arrow button) for me to scroll through my small list of just 3 items. Can any one tell me how to fix this problem Thanks. It's a weird quirk of the dialog resource editor. Sorry, this is going to be quite tough to explain w ...Show All

• Windows Forms Click-once application doesn't start

• Visual Studio VSS checkins take an hour over a domain

  Hi all, I have lately joined a domain at my work to program against Active Directory. Most of our machines are not on the domain yet, and our VSS machine isnt. Since I have had to access the VSS machine from within our domain, checkins have been taking up to an hour or thereabouts, and quite often I get a 'Invalid handle' error. The files do get checked in in the end, but it is causing me immense pain. I have tried checking in from both vs2005 beta 2, and vss 6 (I was using the new beta vss, but gave up on that quickly), both give me these errors. Does anyone perhaps know what the problem is, and what the solution may be Thanks in advance, ...Show All
