• Software Development for Windows Vista XOML only State Workflows with output parameters from internal Activity

  Tom, I have created a custom activity that returns a dataset. My XOML only State Workflow uses this activity and needs to retrieve the dataset returned by this activity. How do you bind the output dataset parameter from the custom activity used inside the XOML only State workflow Can you modify your XOML only example to get an output parameter from a custom activity that returns a dataset I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, John Portnov Below is an example of binding to a DataSet property from a previous activity and to a DataTable within the DataSet from a previous activity: < Sequential ...Show All

• Windows Forms Thread communication

  I am trying to solve a minor curiousity and despite reading several threading sources i simply do not -understand- how to do it. I have a class A. Class A is created when the MainForm is created. Fine. Class A also contains a public event OnData delegate to pass data from class A to the mainform. This also works fine. I get thread synchronization problems when introducing a thread to do my data reading. I introduced into class A a void ReadMyData, a threaded function. This function, whenever it detects data, should call the OnData delegate event. I can perfectly understand why why calling OnData from the ReadMyData goes wrong: my created thr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions SQL Express Local and Remote database

  did anyone try... are there any samples.. for this.. i would create aplication with local database, but in code on runtime it should change connection string and connect to remote database.... is this possible The Data Sources generated by the wizard are hard-wired to the connection strings in config file. I don't know whether you can change this programmatically at run time. At least it isn't obvious. This is also why I hate using data sources generated through the designer. I think the way to go is to create a new data source for your BindingSource when your app is not running locally. I'll see if I can locate a code example. ...Show All

• Visual C# Nice Threads!

  I could really use some help here... I am using C# 2005 and have created a splash screen that runs on a seperate thread. I can invoke the splash screen in the Main() method, but then I can't get rid of it! I am attempting to put a line in the Form1_Load (or maybe Form1_Shown) that calls a static method in the splash screen to close that form. But, when I do so, it complains about an invalid cross-thread operation. How can I get this screen to close Here are the relevant parts to my splash screen: // Static Public Method to launch Splash Screen static public void ShowSplash() { if (ms_frmSplash != null) return; ms_Thread = new Thread ...Show All

• Windows Forms Problem with TreeView-Icons and EnableVisualStyles() (Beta2/Windows XP)

  Hi there, we recently found out that there still seems to be a bug with EnableVisualStyles() in Beta2. We want to show a Treeview with different icons and have VisualStyles enabled. However none of the icons are shown under WinXP whereas Win2000 shows them all. Calling Application.DoEvents() after EnableVisualStyles doesn't change this behaviour. We found out that adding a manifest to the executable like in http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_vstechart/html/vbtchusingwindowsxpvisualstyleswithcontrolsonwindowsforms.asp fixed the problem, but that's a little uncomfortable.

• SQL Server Reporting Services and Data Mining Reports

  Are there any plans to provide a Data Mining Viewer control like the Report Viewer control that is already included when you create a Report Server Project I have seen the Data Mining WinForm controls, but would find it a lot easy for work flow if such a control was provided with Report Server Projects. That way I could include the control on .rdl files and utilise the Reporting Infrustructure to deliver ALL reports. If there are plans, is there any time frame on release Also are you looking for any beta testers Regards, Glenn Vassallo   ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Feature request: Event handler names when changing control name

  Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta 2 When I change the name of a control, e.g. a button, I would like the option of changing the names of all the event handlers with names based on the control's name. It should be an option, since it can happen that I don't want that, but usually I do so the option should be there IMHO. Regards,   Guido Guido - We've heard this request a number of times, and we'll look at whether we can address this in the next version.  Please open a suggestion at http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/productfeedback so we can track the request.
