• Software Development for Windows Vista Question about ConditionedActivityGroup

  I tried the Handson lab 7 Exercise 1 of Beta 2 and intentionally change both the evaluation conditions function to args.Result = true; // hard code to true I would expect both code activities be executed since both conditions are true. The result shows otherwise. The handlers are executed alternatively. Is that by design, each loop (of CAG until loop) only evaluate one condition And what's the order How can I achieve parallel executions Thanks. You should read Nate's blog on parallelism in workflow , it is written about the parallel activity but pertains to the conditioned activity grou ...Show All

• Visual Studio Changes to the ProjectName from a Wizard is ignored

  Hey GAT team! I have a fairly simple project template that is running a recipe that helps the developer build the ProjectName for the new project. (among other things of course ;-) The recipe contains the ProjectName argument, ie: < Argument Name = " ProjectName " > < ValueProvider Type = " Evaluator " Expression = " $(AppNamePrefix).Entities " > < MonitorArgument Name = " AppNamePrefix " /> </ ValueProvider > </ Argument > And allows the user to view / change it within the Wizard, ie: < Fields > < Field Label = " Project Name " ValueName = " ProjectName " /> &l ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Showing a form over the PPC Password screen

  I'm developing a Pocket PC app that runs at defined times, the device I'm testing on (SPVM500 or HTC Magician) has the Password configured to 'lock' the device after a number of minutes. I'd like my app to be able to display its main form over the Password screen, without the user unlocking the device first. Currently if the device is locked the app runs fine but the form is not shown untill the password (pin) is entered. Is this possible If so how I'm using VS.net 2003 with PPC2003 SDK.  If this isn't possible can it be done using bubble notifications, again I've tried this but the notification is not shown when the pass ...Show All

• SQL Server View properties of a measure group

  I want to write an XML/A Process command for a Measure Group. Yeah, I know I can script the Process command myself but I like writing these things myself - helps me learn things y'know! Anyway...in order to write the Process command I need to know the ID of the Measure Group but other than scripting the Measure Group to a new query window there is no way to get that ID. Why is there no UI interface in SSMS to see the ID property of a Measure Group It seems to me that the "Summary" tab (press F7 to view) would be a good place to put this information seeing as it is used for virtually nothing currently. Any comments Agre ...Show All

• Visual Studio Check In Error through Web to VSS 2005

  I am getting the following error on SOME files only when trying to check them in. "There was a failure uploding the url etc......" The paths are all correct and permissions and all. I can do all the files individually except for one. The file reference.cs inside of one of my web references. I think it has to do with the size of file. It is 264 kB in size, I see it on the server with its GUID name, but its only about 130 kb when it dies.... I have since verified that it is NOT a size issue, I added a 1.8Mb BMP file to the project and check it in and it worked great. So the problem is specifically the reference.cs file. Any ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista So can I call into Indigo Service ?

  So I have been playing with Indigo (WCF) in the last few months and now I come across this cool WWF technology. I guess I should be able to call into Indigo Services, within a Code Activity block. But I have seen advice that a code block should not depend on external services.  So I am not sure that my return values will become visible. Of course in true message based SOA, I should also really be able to set up Channel.Send(message) Send and and Receive. So I guess I wait for a proper RPC and Message orientated Indigo Invocation Activities to appear. Any other opinions/expectations Jules James C ...Show All
