• Software Development for Windows Vista Bug? InvokeWorkFlow activity used with Sequential Workflow hosted in Console App

  I've been experimenting with InvokeWorkFlow activity and found what I think might be a bug with the logic in hosting code for the console app.  In the Main method, the WF runtime is instantiated and the started passing in the type for WorkFlow1.  Before it starts the workflow however it wires up a handler for the WorkflowCompleted event that when called sets a AutoResetEvent which the main thread uses to terminate the WF runtime and end the app.  So here's the problem.  I have a workflow that uses InvokeWorkflow activities to invoke 3 separate workflows that I want to run asynchronously.  However, after calling the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Blue Screen when installing VS.NET 2005 Pro

  Hi all, I downloaded the VS.NET2005 Pro and SQL 2005 Dev Editions from the MSDN site and have been trying to install it on my IBM Think Pad for the last week. When installing at the point when the install says "Installing .Net Framework 2.0" I get a blue screen of death. This happens both for SQL 2005 and VS2005. I then tried to install just the .net 2.0 framework and get the BSOD. below are the dumps in my Event log (I have the actual .dmp files to) I have tried switching off my Windows Firewall etc as I found ONE post about someone having a similar problem but the issue was Zone alarm.

• Visual C++ ddraw.h and wtsapi32.h not found

  Hi: I tried converting a C++ unmanaged project from VS2003 (professional edition) to VS2005 (standard edition) and get errors indicating that the files ddraw.h and wtsapi32.h are not found.  I noticed that these files are in the Platform SDK that came with VS2003 but not the Platform SDK that came with VS2005. Does this mean that these files are no longer included in the most recent Platform SDK, or is the Platform SDK that came with VS2005 incomplete   Can I fix this problem by installing the latest full Platform SDK or do I need to install an older Platform SDK These files do still exis ...Show All

• Visual Studio set credentials for ReportViewer?

  This can't be rocket science. In RS 2000, I could set a credential like this: rs.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential(repSvcUserID, repSvcPwd, repSvcDomain) What is the equivalent to this in RS 2005, when calling a report via a webform reportViewer control I've found some very complicated examples of creating your own class with IReportServerCredentials, but I can't seem to get it to work. Is there some simple example available Marie Specifying credentials to the server in the webform control is a little more complicated. The problem is that the webforms control will make ser ...Show All

• Visual Basic Monitoring system messages?

  Is there a way in vbExpress to monitor the system messages going between the tcpip input from the net to the displayed windows form I get the data I need now by reading the screen, but it would be much easier and faster if I could instead capture the input to the form before it went to the display. I would very much appreciate any suggestions. Thanks Dick R. Hi ReneeC, The form contains about 36 areas which are updated regularly (once or twice a minute) with numerical text or graphics which change with each update. The graphics (gif's) are stored locally and referenced by a code which is suppli ...Show All

• SQL Server Model Information

  Is it possible to get hold of the fit parameters out of the prediction models in order to use them without going back to the database. E.g. With the linear fit model, y = ax + b, is it possible to get hold of a and b   This way I could use the fit equation and parameters directly within my C# code, rather than making many costly connections back to the database. You can get all of the parameters from the model's content rowset.  You can see the rowset by using the generic viewer (there's a viewer drop-down above the mining viewers) or by executing the query SELECT * FROM [My Model].CONTENT.

I'm doing a snapshot replication Is there a way to specify the order by which table must synchonize. lets say. article 1 synchonizes first, then article 3, then article 2 are you getting foreign-key constraint errors, is that why you ask if so, you can mark the foreign keys as "Not For Replication", this way they're not enforced when replication runs. You can also choose not to script foreign keys at the subscriber, if you wish. ...Show All
