• Software Development for Windows Vista Need more information on exception occurred while loading a workflow into a designer

  I've got a couple of custom activities and everything worked like a charm for a week. But right now when I'm loading a workflow in VS2005 designer, I've got an error message saying "Error loading workflow" "An error occurred while loading the workflow.

• Visual Studio Team System .trx insert to DB, Distributed web testing across networks?

  Hi All, I'm trying to accomplish having agents across multiple networks without a VPN.  Right now I'm using windows scheduler to launch the mstests on the agents, and then the agents push the .trx file back to the test controller.  Is there a better way of going about this   From my understanding, all the agents and the test controller have to be on the same network . . . can someone verify that for me If it is the case, is there a tool which will convert that TRX to the default LoadTest DB   I'm using the Team Suite trial version . . . no foundation server though.  I'm trying to put the information from the ...Show All

• Visual C++ Singular preprocessor definition needed

  This is my first post, I hope to be clear enough (sorry for my eglish) and I hope to be lucky and find the answer to a very big problem. I have a VC++ project and I need to create, during the compilation, a define that has the same name of the file that I am currently compiling. For example, if when I am compiling a file called Main.c I need to create runtime a define #define main 1 I do this by specifying the in Preprocessor Definitions section $(InputName)=1 The problem is that the command above create a define #define Main 1 instead I need the name of the file in lower case . I thought in the beginning to create a custom task in M ...Show All

• Windows Forms Moving controls doesn't work after migrating to VS2005

  Hello, I am experiencing strange problem with move controls in VS 2005 Designer. I have a 2003 project which uses .NET 1.1 designer functionality: DocumentDesigner derived form designer, ControlDesigner derived control designers and custom implemented services. The solution worked perfectly when compiled in VS 2003. As I converted it to VS 2005 I had no problems compiling, and dialog editor works in most parts (including some more esoteric features, such as custom drawn connectors between controls on a surface). However, a couple of standard features don’t function anymore, most notably drag and drop moving of controls ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Performance of Platform invoke

  Hi I have a general question regarding p/invoke.....When i try to invoke an unmanaged function from a managed code , how much of a performance degradation (if any ) does it make Thanks Somesh That would be in range from nothing to significant depending on platform, P/Invoke complexity and time spent in native code. The only way to know for sure is to run some benchmarks relevant for you. For generic information please see this: http://blogs.msdn.com/mikezintel/archive/2005/03/30/403941.aspx ...Show All

• Smart Device Development auto-ftp ...

  I'm working on an app based off of the CPP CE CameraCapture app, and I'd like to regularly FTP the captured media to a web server. I wrote the FTP library in C# (back when I was hoping to do the whole job in C#, before realizing how little DirectShow is exposed to managed code) and honestly currently lack the skills to crank it out in CPP. I'm wondering what is the method to carry out the process, end to end. The platform is currently a Treo700w - a WM5.0 Smartphone -- and will eventually be a Cingular 2125 -- also a WM5.0 Smartphone. Can I crank up my C# FTP app, have it poll the capture directory for new material every so often, and lau ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Multithreading, Callback & VBA in PowerPoint 2003

  Hi, I'm currently trying to get to work a VBA application which uses an external DLL (which I program parallely). The DLL starts a separate worker thread which calls a previously registered VBA callback function. This works perfectly (e.g. I can do a MsgBox "I was called with argument " + str(arg)) but if I try to change a slide in my slide show, PowerPoint says that "Hyperlink ^0" doesn't exist and crashes. At the end of this post I put a little bit of code in order to explain what I'm trying to do. If I call the VBA procedure *not* inside the thread (e.g. in a method of MyObject), it works, so I think it has somethin ...Show All
