• Smart Device Development Problem launching a debugging session on VS.NET 2005 Standard

  I'm trying to create a simple test app to begin development on a SmartDevice app in VS.NET 2005 Standard. I have WinXP SP2. I chose a "Device Application (1.0)" project from the C# projects (I wanted .NET CF 1.0 rather than requiring 2.0). Did nothing else, just decided to launch it in the emulator to make sure everything worked - and it didn't. When I try to deploy to any of the emulators, I get a dialog box which says: "Fai ...Show All

  Hi, I have several workflows that need to make simultaneous exchanges with external methods and events through a DataExchangeService. To make sure each event is caught by the correct handler I’ve implemented the correlation attributes to the exchange interface. It all works fine, but I find it tedious to set up the parameters and properties related to correlation on the different activities in the workflow. I do not understand why this has to b ...Show All

It seems like this should be the most common thing in the world, but I'm at a loss to get it to work. I type in the SQL statement ...Show All

  I am designing a .Net component that relies some on a quite elaborate cache system. The cache can be regenerated at any time but at great CPU/IO expense. The WeakReference is not enough my own needs because (for example) it cannot take into account the regeneration costs that may vary from a WeakReference to an other. I would like to know how the memory pressure that applies on the current process can be measured in .Net I have seen the method ...Show All
