• Software Development for Windows Vista Replication and correlation

  Can anyone tell me whether or not, in Beta 1.2, it is possible to use the replication shape to invoke a method that initialises a correlation set and then waits for the correlated event. There are lots of business scenarios that call for functionality like this - i.e voting scenarios, approval scenarios etc. You can obivously do something like this using the parallel shape but you need to know at design time the number of participants in the scenario. Arjun, I'm very pleased to here that but I can't see how to make it work. The problem I'm having is with binding the correlation reference to the invoke ...Show All

• .NET Development Using IXmlLineInfo without XmlReader

  I have a recursive method that cycles through an XmlDocument.  The document is built using an XmlReader, but at the time I'm spinning through the document, I am not using the reader (it's used just for loading).  When I display line information (number and position) from any validation exceptions that occur, they all have the last line and position of the file (because I set LineInfoProvider property after the reader loaded the doc). So, is there a way to get line number and position without using an XmlReader to cycle through my document   Specifically, is there a way to keep the line information updated while processing a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Database Questions

  I'm fairly new to creating programs that utilize databases. I have just purchased a book about ADO.NET, but I wondering if anyone could offer some opinions on where to start. In particular, what database program should I begin learning Most of the applications that I want to develop will really only need a local unshared database to systematically store and recall information. I would really like to avoid spending a large amount of money on purchasing a database program, so would MSAccess or MySQL be a good place to start Also, where can I find a good tutorial on the basics of building database applications If anyone else has any point ...Show All

• Visual C++ Compiling of a header file.

  When I try to run my program I am getting no warnings and 1 error: "Cannot compile the file............ .h, no compile tool associated with the file extension." I am using M<icrosoft Visual C++ 6.0. I assumed that it should just read the header file and compile it. Am I missing something Like Nishant said, you’re supposed to compile c or cpp files not .h files. However, if for some reason you want to just compile a .h file, pass in the /TP (C++) or /TC (C) switch. ...Show All
