• Visual Basic VB 2005 / VS 2005 Question

  Will the Visual Basic.net or Visual Studio.net 2005 versions require developers to have their application users download any framework versions in order to use the developers applications If I am not mistaken, VB.net and VS.net 2003 required application users to have the 1.1 framework installed on their local machine in order to use the application. This was a discouraging requirement as some users still have a dial-up connection and were faced ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Replicating State Machine Workflows

  I am wondering if it is possible to replicate n number of state machine workflows from within the state initialization activity.  Thanks I don't think that solution would work, as the activity would be an InvokeWorkflow, not the child state machine workflow.  From within the workflow, you can use 'this.WorkflowInstanceId' or from an InvokedWorkflow, you can use 'invokedWorkflowActivity.InstanceId'.

• Smart Device Development Project conversion: Smart device -> Windows XP

  Hi All. I've got an unusual problem, and I hope someone could suggest me a solution.

• Visual Studio Really Frustrated With VS 2005

  I posted earlier about the fact you cannot get a copy of VS 2005 Pro even though the "launch" was 11/7. I have a Windows app I built using the VS 2005 Beta 2 that I need to update but since I downloaded the new Express editions (thinking they would work - wrong!) all the Beta 2 stuff is gone. OK, I went to my other system (Win XP SP2) and figured I'd install the VS 2005 Beta 2 there and use that until someone decides to "really" relea ...Show All

• SQL Server Page Header on 1st Page ONLY

  In Report Properties there are 2 entries each related to page headers and footers: one is to print them on the 1st page, and the other on the last page.

Stopping DTC service has no affect. Even the simpliest package with only a script and msgbox hel ...Show All
