• MMCompton Workflow properties when debugging

  Hi, I am debugging a workflow winform application in Visual Studio, and was expecting to be able to monitor the values of workflow properties as I step through. This does not seem to be the case though. Does anyone know if this is by design or not Thanks and regards, /Valur If you workflows are in a workflow library you need to set it as the startup project in order to invoke the workflow debugger. On the project properties for your workflow project, set the startup to start the debug build of your winform exe. Matt I'm running the workflow debugger by setting the workflow library as startup project and pointing to my winform executable. I see the top call stack activity properties ...Show All

• ThunderRock Vista Certification Test Case 16 Issue

  Hi, I'm just going through the certification process and was advised that my .application manifest did not show up as signed when they looked at the Properties tab in WIndows Explorer. This is correct and I found it during my pre-testing as well but I actually thought it was OK as I have signed the manifests files (.application and .manifest) using mageui. I also tested using VS2005 Project Properties signing process and it did not produce the Property tab info in WE either. I know the manifests are properly signed (as ClickOnce doesn't allow them not to be I think) as when you install you get the appropriate security dialogs with links to our certificate information. My issue is that the certification testers obviously fo ...Show All

• Oh2BaLuddite! Can't stop or start service from client app ("access is denied")

  Hi, Quick question for all you Vista gurus out there. We have a service (running as SYSTEM) and we need to be able to stop and start it from our client application, which is running as a standard user. Is this possible Our app was designed originally to run as administrator, but in order to get Vista certification we can't have it demand administrator access ( ) so I'm trying to get it to run with the "asInvoker" access instead. But when I do that it can't access the service via the ServiceController. When we call serviceController.Stop() we get "InvalidOperationException: cannot open service on computer '.' --> Win32Exception: access is denied". The "Stop()" method is calling the "GetServiceHand ...Show All

• Jim Thompson Updates and "Works with Windows Vista"

  Hello. If I certified my Software to get the "Works with Vista" Logo and the Software needs a Update to fix some Stuff. Is it necessary to repeat the Steps for Using the Logo Kind regards jping How about the Certified Logo program Recently, I spoke with a gentleman from Microsoft's ISV support team and he told me that you only need to get an application certified once. Subsequent updates/fixes/new features etc won't require going through testing again and you can use the logo. Is that true If so, great - I'll continue getting my software certified. If not, I might as well stop since it will be too costly to keep getting re-certified. Thanks, John. ...Show All

• Kevinmac Problem with Rules and comparisons on nullable types

  I'm building an application (using .NET 3.0 RC1) where I want to allow my customers to create simple Rules to do a consistency check on amounts on an invoice. They might create a condition like this.totalAmount > 500 to flag invoices that total more than $500.00. This works OK. But they also need to be able to check whether the total amount is more than the total amount of the last invoice, which would be a condition like this.totalAmount > this.previous.totalAmount where I set previous to be a reference to the previous invoice. This also works OK, except for one case. At times there won't be a previous invoice (for example, the oldest invoice in the database won't have a previous invoice.) Of course, we could add a ...Show All

• Oren Solomon Is LVS_EX_COLUMNOVERFLOW implemented?

  I can't make this style work. The listview has 5 columns, but only 2 and a part of the 3rd column fit into the client width. The listview has the following styles: WS_CHILDWINDOW | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CLIPSIBLINGS | WS_VISIBLE WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE | WS_EX_LEFT | WS_EX_LTRREADING | WS_EX_RIGHTSCROLLBAR LVS_EX_DOUBLEBUFFER | LVS_EX_HEADERDRAGDROP | LVS_EX_FULLROWSELECT | LVS_EX_HEADERINALLVIEWS | LVS_EX_COLUMNOVERFLOW It contains 10 items and is in icon view. I would expect a chevron button being displayed in the header control, but there isn't one. If I explicitly set the HDS_OVERFLOW style on the header control, the button is displayed.
