• Software Development for Windows Vista Durable and non-Durable Workflows in same Workflow Runtime

  Hi, I've got a question about supporting workflow instances that are both durable and non-durable within the same runtime. As I understand it if a workflow persistence service exists in the service container then the engine will call it for every workflow instance. If it doesn't exist, then obviously workflow instances are not persisted. If I want to have a mixed model where I could somehow 'mark' a particular workflow as durable, in other ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System using a derived object in a project

  I have a file in a project which is built as an embedded resource. This file is the output of a different dependent project which copies the file into the first project's directory. This all works fine except that source code control wants to add the file to source code control and inevitably someone occasionally checks it in. Is there a recommended way of addressing this scenario. I suppose I could build a custom tool but is there something mor ...Show All

  Well, I've been searching the web and I cannot find a single example of someone scrolling a 2D background using Managed DirectX WITHOUT using the deprecated DirectDraw. I can already scroll a background using DirectDraw, but I'm trying to be a good boy and stop using the deprecated code.
