• Software Development for Windows Vista hi

  Hi all, Several samples show how to exchange data between host and workflow: define an interface with DataExhangeService attribute on it, implement the service and add the service to the workflowruntime (of configure in web.config). In my state machine I would like to be able to read and write a dataobject in every state. The object I would like to be able to read and write is passed at startup of the workflow instance as a parameter. Do I have to add eventdriven activities to every state to: A) listen to a 'WriteDataToWorkflow'-event to update the dataobject contained by the workflow B) listen to a 'ReadDataFromWorkflow'-even ...Show All

• .NET Development XML deserialization problems with invalid hex characters

  Hello, In the document at [1], I am experiencing the problem described under the heading "Deserializing Invalid XML". I am receiving XML documents that contain escaped characters that are technically invalid in the XML spec. I am using WSE 2.0 Service Pack 3, so I have no control over deserialization myself (or at least not without writing a input filter of some kind). I do have control over which strings are serialized (I also write the client). Does anyone know of a solution to this problem Thanks. Mark, Thanks for your answer. Number 1 would indeed be the solution to go with. However, it's *my* WSE 2.0 cl ...Show All

• .NET Development Custom Configuration Settings - version upgrade

  I just wrote my own custom configuration section that takes advantage of saving its values to isolated storage to save off user settings. As I understand it these values get saved into a version specific folder and I am now concerned with the fact that when I upgrade the version of my application the user settings are going to get lost. I see that there is an upgrade method off of the LocalFileSettingsProvider but I don't know how to get to that from my custom configuration section. How would I go about upgrading the configuration settings when the version of my app changes Thanks Kevin PS. i have read the FAQ at http://blogs.msd ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating a Data-Flow Component

  I try to create a new Data-Flow Component. In Books-Online I found this link: ms-help://MS.SQLCC.v9/MS.SQLSVR.v9.de/dtsref9/html/9d96bcf5-eba8-44bd-b113-ed51ad0d0521.htm and the following pages. But I have not realized, how I have to create the new Data-Flow Component. What I to do for my first "Hello World"-Component    Since you will be using the same series of steps to deploy and test your own data flow components, best to resign oneself! Note that Visual Studio 2005 supports post-build event scripts that you can use to copy your updated assembly to the PipelineComponents folder, r ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) binding combobox selectedindex/item in a listbox itemtemplate

  I am having an issue with comboboxes contained in a listbox (using the itemtemplate). I want to be able to change the value of a property on the selected item, by choosing it from a combobox containing a collection of the properties type. Is this possible Currently I've tried binding the combobox itemsource to an objectdatasource, which works fine (apart from the fact that when I change the selecteditem, it changes in EVERY listbox item), and binding the combobox.selecteditem to the corresponding property on the listbox datasource. But this doesn't work. I hope that makes sense. Simon < DataTemplate x:Key = " ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Dump data into 2 databases automatically

  Is there a way to dump data into 2 databases automatically So when I enter in data through an MS Access Form, it loads the data into a Table in that database, and then also loads the data into another Table in another database (or Excel file) Essentially, single entry to dual tables. Thanks, Mark Hi Mark, There a couple of ways you can do this. The simplist would be to create a linked table in the database with the form. You can link to tables in other Access databases or even to Excel spreadsheets. In the 'Save' button on the form you'd call two INSERT or UPDATE sql statements, one for each ta ...Show All

• Visual Basic Problems with EXE's and stuff

  Ok, simple problem but I'm just too stupid to get my head round this, I have created a project and created a manual updater for it so I can just create components and have them download as necessary, a live updater if you like: The problem is that all is good until you download a .exe from the server, it then will open a quick dos cmd window, kinda not what I expected, I was hoping to just replace the existing file and restart the program. Have I done something wrong or am I just missing something right under my nose. Kind regards, A confused and tired Rob. I would put the update in a zip file. When ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005 always deploys framework files

  I am developing an application for SmartPhone 2003 using VS2005. When deploying the application VS always copies the standard framework files (System.dll, etc) to the target application directory even though these are already in the GAC.  The app runs fine on the GAC files if the files in the app directory are deleted.  Any way to stop this download (to save time and space on the target machine, especially if multiple apps are under test) What do You hit build or deploy because if you hit deploy it should only copy the program files and send them to your mobile device but if you hit build it will s ...Show All

• Windows Forms ClickOnce deploy for Windows Me

  Hi all, I've developed an application that I've published on my website. So far all users have been able to install it. One of my users however is still running WinMe..... (I know, I know) and he's having problems installing the application. He did manage to get framework 2.0 installed, but when clicking "install" on the web page, it doesn't launch. He says there is also a "launch" button (which I don't see anywhere), which prompts him to download the myapp.application file, which he can't execute...
