• Visual Studio Reference Task success value

  With the ContinueOnError attribute, it is possible to let a build continue, even if a Task's Execute method fails (returns false). Is there any way to reference that result, so that other Tasks can act accordingly (via a Condition or otherwise) For example: <Target Name="DoStuff"> <MightFailTask ContinueOnError="true" /> <DependentTask Condition="'$(MSBuildLastTaskResult)' == 'true'" /> <DoRegar ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Added activities from the DesignerActions and refreshing the designer rendering

  I've created a custom designer to which I add a new DesignerAction "Insert Required Activities". I've handled the event OnExecuteDesignerAction and in there I add activities to the Activity I'm designing but I can't get them to showup in the designer unless I save and close the workflow then reopen it. I must be missing some method call or event... I'm just doing this: baseActivity.Activities.Add(new InputData()); baseActivity.Activit ...Show All

The HTML body element's onload event on the other hand is used to inform the library that the task pane's intialization ha ...Show All
