• soujanya Application.ExecutablePath and non-english characters doesn't works in Vista

  Hi experts. I have a Windows Forms application that makes an initial call to Application.ExecutablePath() . It is based in .NET Framework 1.1 and it works in Windows 2000, XP and 2003. It doesn't works in Windows Vista because this function returns strange characters with non-english characters in the path or EXE name (like "c:\Aplicaci o n\Aplicaci o n.exe"), and these characters are replaced by a square character. In the .NET Framework 2.0 I have the same problem. However, if I make a call to Application.StartupPath() , I get the path correctly, but I can't change this call and recompile it in all versions of the application. I think there is a problem with the .NET Framework and Vista itself, so I will appreciate ...Show All

• rocky050371 Hiding the error icon in Workflow Design Surface

  Hi! I would like to use the WorkflowDesigner Control (see Sample Hosting Workflow Designer) to show the user the workflow. Since workflows have sometimes errors in it, a red error icon appears in the right upper edge of a state activity for example. I would like to hide those icons generally. Does anybody know how to achieve this Thanks! Gerald Hi! Thanks for your reply. No matter where I try to put this in my code, I get the following InvalidOperationException: Theme properties can only be changed in the Theme Configuration Dialog.

• Alastair Q Uninstall Vista SDK RC1

  Hi To install the final Vista SDK (6.0.6000.0) I need to uninstall the Vista SDK RC1 (6.0.5536.0).. I have tried this through the add/remove programs, but something did go wrong and it was not uninstalled.

• Linusguy Workflow Foundation (.Net 3.0) official release - What's changed?

  Has anyone run across a document that details the changes in the workflow foundation from the September CTP to the official release Thanks, Don If you look in C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0, you will find the Workflow DLL's to have the same July date as the Sept CTP I think. So I don't think anything has changed, though of course I have no inside info. There is a document on the community site that outlines changes from the beta 2.2 version to the RC (and RTM) versions. You can find that here . Specifically, there are no changes between what was in the September CTP and the release version. Let me know if you have any other q ...Show All

• dobauer CreateInstance failed

  Here's the situation. I have a XAML only workflow in a C# project (A). The workflow references custom activities (derived from Activity etc) that are built in a separate project (B) in the same solution. The reference is via a namespace reference in the workflow XAML. (...... xmlns:ns0 = " http://ABC/ActivityLibrary ....) Project (A) has a reference to the dll generated by Project (B). It's a direct reference - the reference is created by pointing to ProjectB.dll in a common directory. One of the types in (B) contains the following directive to map the namespace identifier to the assembly [assembly: XmlnsDefinition ( "http://ABC/ActivityLibrary" , "ABC.UI.ActivityLibrary" )] I open Visual St ...Show All
