• .NET Development Explanation of exitContext parameter of WaitAll() in layman's terms?

  Hi, I am rather new to threads, and I have recently made my threads working. But there are quite a few new concepts to learn, and I am struggling to understand the "exitContext" parameter of the System.Threading.WaitHandle.WaitAll() method. On http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/27y100eh(d=ide).aspx I have read "Notes on Exiting the Context", but there are a few new concepts to me here: What is a context-bound class What is a nondefault managed context What is a synchronization domain Could anybody help explaining the exitContext to a thread-rookie Thanks!

• SQL Server AdventureWorks db for 101 Samples

  I'm not sure if this should be asked here.  If it's the wrong place, let me know and I'll correct. I've just downloaded 101 Samples for Visual Studio 2005 .  But the data access samples require AdventureWorks database which is not included in the C# sample.  Who know where I can get this database   It is a SQL 2005 database, I think.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Mesh Intersect Confusion

  EDIT: Let me make my question simpler: How do I shoot a ray (using the Intersect function) from one mesh to another mesh Original Post: I recently found out that the Mesh.Intersect function requires you to transform the ray by the inverse of the Mesh's matrix.  I can kinda understand how this works with picking, but, I am trying to shoot a ray from one mesh to another with an arbitrary direction.  Now I'm dealing with TWO matrices, not just one. Right now I am taking a point from the "source" mesh, transforming it by the inverse of the "destination" mesh's matrix minus the "source" mesh, then calling the "destination" mesh ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Long running with dehydration/rehydration examples

  I've been looking for a good example of using long running workflows and rehydrating a workflow after some event occurs.  So, looking at the basic example of an order with a state machine workflow, how do I rehydrate the workflow after say a week or something when I want to flag the order system that the order has shipped   Is it the responsibility of the host to poll the order system and correlate / rehydrate the workflow when the status changes, or should a service be created   Would the service rehydrate the workflow The only examples I can find assume that the workflow will always be in-memory (aside from the Delay activi ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Manifest files for Vista

  Hi, For some of the exes of my product, I need administrative privilege. So I embed them in my application with "requireAdministrator". It works fine on Windows Vista and prompts for allow/deny or administrator uname/password as applicable. But the same program has non consistent performance on previous OS versions(XP, 2003 Small business etc). It shows blue screen sometimes for the applications where these manifest files are embedded. One can avoid these blue screens if the embedded manifest file is also present in the same directory as the exe for other OS. I do not want to make my application dependant on the presence o ...Show All
