• Tryin2Bgood Name property empty???

  Hi guys, The last CTP i was using, was the may CTP. With this version I had the problem that the name property was not filled in for any controls. It was always empty. Now I installed the july CTP and the problem still exists... Does anyone else have this problem Is this a know issue Note: When using the textvaluepattern, you get the text so that works... Best Regards, Nick Not all elements have Names, although UI Automation does its best to get one (for instance, using label text for a control that has a label). You can use UI Spy to determine whether or not a control has a Name. it is recommended to use AutomationId to identify elements ...Show All

• GrayMatter Software Where are the user interface controls? ie: Menu, TreeView, ListView, TextBox, ...

  I cannot see any user interface controls in the WPF/E reference. When I try to instantiate something as simple as a button, it throws an exception when loading the XAML. What is the status of the support of TabPanel, TreeView, Menu, Button, ListView, TextBox, RadioButton, ... Without these, I cannot see how it would be possible to build an application user interface with WPF/E. Thank you for using WPF/E. I am sorry to say that in Current CTP release we don’t explicitly have control support. But we do have primitives which can very well be used to create your desired controls. Our samples have lot of such examples. If you are looking for some specific control which you think cannot be created with primit ...Show All

  What would the 'workflow dependency property event handler' be used for Or rather a scenario Thanks! protected override ActivityExecutionStatus Execute( ActivityExecutionContext executionContext) { RaiseEvent(BeforeEvent, this , EventArgs .Empty); // Do stuff here RaiseEvent(AfterEvent, this , EventArgs .Empty); return ActivityExecutionStatus .Closed; } Maybe you want a before and / or after event handler like with the InvokeWebServiceActivity and Replicator to allow the user do some preconfiguration before the operation / child is executed and retrieve some result after. Ok. So, how would I make it so that one event would be called before and the oth ...Show All

• teplitsa Subscription service and persistence service

  I've implemented a custom subscription service that inherits from WorkflowSubscriptionService. I have a state machine workflow that's been published as a web service. In my workflow I have a CallExternalMethod activity that sends an e-mail message, and a HandleExternalMethod activity that listens for incoming e-mail. I'm using my subscription service to get the WorkflowInstanceId based on a message ID that I embed in the e-mail message. I've tested this and traced my workflow and everything works. When my workflow sends out the e-mail, it calls CreateSubscription on the subscription service. When the event is received, it calls DeleteSubscription. This would seem to be the correct behaviour. Then I added the SQL persistence service a ...Show All

• Animatrix Active Directory User ?

  Hi I need to check if user account is locked. I've no idea how to do this ;) It will be done in WindowsApp [Windows Service but for now just windows app]. Jarod If you're writing your application in managed code, a good place to start are the MSDN docs on System.DirectoryServices. If you're writing it in native code, then check MSDN for documentation on ADSI (Active Directory Services Interfaces). In either case, the ADSI newsgroup ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/managed/default.aspx dg=microsoft.public.adsi.general ) should be able to point you in the right direction on questions specific to Active Directory.

• Duncan Woods Using MXDW

  I would like to use MXDW to create XPS documents from any application. But I would like to automate the creation by automating the printing process. But when I try to do this it always comes up with the "save as" dialog box. I had the same problem using the MODI driver as well. Does anyone know how to get rid of that Any samples will be helpful. Hi, Why not writing your own XPSDrv filter driver connected to NULL port, and in your filter(Stream-In and Stream-out) you take over the job and write it into where ever you want to be. In that way, you are not changing the existing printer driver port monitor that assigned to. It is almost like other approach, so it is clear that your dri ...Show All

• flyingchen Assign a different Item for each task in a task replicator

  Hi, i made a task replicator in my workflow and i'd like to know if it's possible to assign different item (document) to each task. In the object SPWorkflowActivationProperties i saw the Property item, itemId and itemUrl. So it's easy to change the item of the workflow. But in the object SPWorkflowTaskProperties there is only the Property TaskItemId. During the execution TaskItemId Property is set by default to -1 and when i change it, it doesn't change anything. The task item is still the Workflow Item. asked me if you need more explanations. Thanks Sam I don't manage to find the answer. Do you think I have to do a workflow for each item(document) Is it possible to start a ...Show All

• Adam Plocher How to host data access objects for high volume, distributed systems given current state of .NET?

  I’ve created a set of data access (DA) objects that connect to a dbms, do O-R mapping, return custom business objects, etc. Following advice I’ve read here and elsewhere, I’ve kept them separate from any hosting environment, e.g. Enterprise Services. Now I need to figure out how to host them in a high-volume, distributed system, but I have questions as to the best way to go about hosting these babies for remote access, given that a new generation of .NET is imminent, but is not yet all the way here. A brief system description is below, as well as my questions. Can anyone help me out I think the discussion is a worthy one; there must be other folks asking similar questions right about now. Thanks in advance, ...Show All

• Ananda Ganesh How can a Vista user(non-administrator) work with app that uses ports

  Hi All, I have an application in WinFX which when run on Vista fails for the below two reasons: 1. The application writes to the local disk 2. The application uses callbacks to the WCF service(uses ports) and the user is a non-administrator. Is there a way out to solve this, since the users of my application are not given administrator rights to the system. Thanks, Mahalax. Standard users have write access to quite a few locations on the local machine (their profile, new folders off the root of the OS drive for example).
