• Software Development for Windows Vista Beta2: SequentialWorkflowActivity not found

  I seem to have fallen at the first hurdle with Beta2. I uninstalled WWF VS extensions for Beta1.2 and the Beta1.2 of WWF. I then installed the Beta2 of WinFX and the Beta2 of WWF VS extensions. If I create a sequential workflow then it says it can't find the SequentialWorkflowActivity type. This suggests to me that its still picking up the Beta1.2 versions of the runtime. Can anybody suggest what I should do to clean down and reinstall Much obliged, David It seems the answer is to miss out the WinFX beta2. I've uninstalled Beta2 of WinFX and the Beta2 of WWF VS extensions and reinst ...Show All

• Visual Studio Copy an embedded image from one report to another

  Hello! I am writing a wizard in MFC which automatically creates reports from a database. One required feature of this wizard is that it should be possible to give the path of a template report from which I copy the Report/Page Header/Footer to the newly created report. This works quite fine, with one exception: I cannot copy embedded images. When queried for their type, they say "OleObject", so I thought, I get the IPictureDisp object by calling "GetFormattedPicture", save the image to a temporary file and insert a new OleObject into the new report by giving the file location in the method call "AddPictureObject" of the respective secti ...Show All

• SQL Server Communicating between 3 Service Broker instances

  I have a problem. I am trying to set up Service Broker communication between 3 machines, all running the September CTP release. I have included the scrip (edited) that I used to setup the 3 machines. This scrip refers mainly to what was done to server1, with comments to indicate which parts were done on the other servers (commented out the connectionstring property to indicate a change of server) I also added comments to indicate the copying/deleting of certificates; this script is intended to recreate the three setups if necessary so there is script that checks for the existence of objects before trying to create said objects.

  Hi I have created a database application in C# compact framework and have rows adding to my database. Now I have problems getting the data back out of the database.

• Visual C++ Calling C++ dll from C#

  I am trying to use a C++ dll in my C# application but unsuccessul. Here is what I have done: 1. The C++ code was developed using open BSD. 2. I made a C++ CLR dll using visual studio 2005 - "tc.dll" 3. In my C# application, I add the "tc.dll" as a reference from the solution explorer 4. I tried to instantiate the class of tc.dll using myClass mc = new myClass(); The C# program can not find the class at all. I assumed that since it is built as a assembly dll, all the class and their member functions in there should be visible if referenced.
