• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem Using ifElseactivity in an Embedded workflow designer

  I'm trying to use a ifElse activity in an embedded workflow designer ( Workflow Designer Control Example   downloaded from here: http://www.windowsworkflow.net/Downloads/Examples/Workflow%20Designer%20Control%20-%202005-09-24.exe ) I added a IfElse activity and then select one of the branches.

• Visual C++ Running an .exe file compiled in VC++ 2005 on a different computer

  Hello, I've got a question regarding how to run a program compiled using VC++ 2005 on a different computer.

• SQL Server ClickOnce path names are too long for SQL Server Express identifiers

  I'm posting this in the ClickOnce forums as well... My application doesn't include the .mdf and .ldf files, rather it creates the database the first time the application is run using a script that is included in the build. I want to create the database in the ClickOnce data directory.

• SQL Server Remove "top of report" when published via ASP call

  Sorry the subject is a little vague! I am issuing reports via ASP pages. I inherited this setup from my predecessor, who has a cycling "Sales Board" that calls reporting services pages from a script. All other pages do not have the light colored band across the top in which you can add parameters, click the "View Report" button etc. I have now created a new report and this band is there - can anyone please tell me how I can get rid of it for the purposes of display The parameters are fed into the report from the ASP page.

• .NET Development How to access objects from another thread...

  I modified this example to output to a textbox on a windows form. So instead of Console.WriteLine I used Textbox1.AppendText. Unfortuantely this won't work being that async sockets work in a seperate thread and I get an exception stating the control "textbox1" cannot be accessed from a thread other than the one it was created on. How do I take the data from the receive event and move it to another object created on another thread Look up delegates and .invoke in the MSDN.
