• Ilia VISTA x64 Development Platform

  Hi there, I was hoping to start looking at doing some development on Vista x64. I cannot find the download on MSDN subscriber downloads anymore, I can only find the x86 version. Does anyone know what the situation is with the x64 version It thought I saw it there a week or so ago. Also, given that I do manage to get the x64 version installed, is there a x64 version of Visual Studio available yet For your reference I have a MSDN Professional subscription. Many thanks, Gareth. Thank you Kenny. MSDN removed the x64 download temporarily to take the strain off the servers from all the downloads. Visual Studio 2005 supports both x86 and x64 development. C ...Show All

• Brad Smith Custom sequence activity: Collapsed by default?

• davidg12 Custom Persistence and CompletedScope table

  I have just successfully completed a custom persistence service for MySQL. I have been digging into some of the other tables associated with the SQL persistence schema and stored procs. I came across the table CompletedScope. I did find a thread on it saying it is used to hold completed activites derived from ICompensatableActivity. My question is how do I add custom support for this table into my custom persistence I see no examples or discussion on this. Thanks Bill Have you tried going thru the stored procedures in the WF documentation I'd start there... Thanks for the clarification. One more question. What is the difference between the workflow instanceId () and the stateId I found ...Show All

• Chidu using correlation token to decide which activity to be executed

  Say you have a parallel activity, with two eventSink activities on either branch. Is it possible to have both eventSink activities “listening” to the same event, and use correlation token to decide which activity to be executed Mikael Yes - but you have to have both activities have their "events" fire in order to pass the parallel activity. The Listen Activity is what you want to use if you want one or the other to fire. ...Show All

• mengruts Getting the id of the hosting WPF/E control

  Hi, The new CTP contains the GetHost method but how can I get the id of the hosting control Lets say I have 2 WPF/E controls on the same HTML implementing the same click event. I need to identify which control was clicked. Thanks, Keren Thinking of workarounds here. It seems theoretically possible to have a unique element name in each XAML file for each plug-in in question. Say, the root element in each file has a unique name. Then in your event handler body you can do a if(sender.FindName(...)) { // do something }. Hello, I have posted an entry ( http://cornucopia30.blogspot.com/2007/03/wpfe-how-to-get-id-of-hosting-wpfe.html ) on my blog that provides an explanation as well as some source code for how ...Show All

• kschuler Vista Ultimate x64, Visual Studio 2005 and VerQueryValue API

  Hi The following code runs fine on XP Pro 32, XP Pro 64, Windows Server 2003 32 and Windows Server 2003 64; it faults on Vista Ultimate x64   if (!VerQueryValue(buffer, spv, out versionInfo, out len)) The failure manifests itself as a dialog saying: vshost.exe has stopped working (and then Vista goes off to collect more info). It does not return from the function call, but enters it and freezes (other tha displaying the dialog).
