  Hi! How to create an application template like the one presented here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/coding4fun/weekend/apptemplate/default.aspx , but for .NET 2.0 I'm new to the whole .NET thing and it's quite confusing for me. I tried to follow the steps in the tutorial mentioned above and just changed reference to Microsoft.DirectX (which should i use: "version 2.0.900.0 runtime 2.0" or "version 2.0.0.0 runtime 2.0.50727" ), but should i also use 2.0 versions of Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D and Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3DX I couldn't find them.

• SQL Server Windows Mobile 5 connecting to SQL Server 2005

  Can't get winmobile 5 to connect to my sql server 2005 (using vs2005). Here's the connect string: "Data Source=tcp:XXXXXX\default,1433;Database=YYYYYY;" _ & "Integrated Security=SSPI;" This very same string, and variations of it, work in a vs2005 winforms app, but not a windows mobile 5.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Duplicate activity name error when dynamically adding a custom composite activity

  I have a sequential document review workflow that when submitted dynamically creates multiple review tasks internally within the workflow. Each review task is an instance of the custom composite activity with a unique name. This all works fine. I also want to be able to add a review task dynamically at runtime from the host. However, when I attempt to apply the addition to the workflow I get a validation error that states I cannot add activities with duplicate names. This, I believe, is referring to the child activities of my composite activity. I thought I could just give the composite activity a unique name that would be used by child a ...Show All
