• kkennedy1008 "bindingRedirect" does not work, same error occurs

  Hello, I'm using the "bindingRedirect" element in my web.config to allow updates of my workflow DLL without recompiling the website. But I still receive the same error: Could not load file or assembly 'TestWorkflowLibrary, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=c417d4d39ba0d6b2' or one of its dependencies.

After that I created a version 1.1.0.0 of "TestWorkflowLibrary" which I placed in the "bin" folder of my website. When accessing the website, the above error is shown.

• Dmitry Pavlov Unexpected behavior in CAG - is this a bug or a misunderstood feature?

  Hello, I have some strange behavior with a CAG shape that I would appreciate an expert's opinion on. It is not working the way I expected, but I need to understand why. Ok, to start at the beginning, I am using the June CTP release of WF and VS.NET 2005. I have a sequential workflow that consists of a CAG shape. The CAG contains 4 child shapes: - delay1 - code1 - delay2 - code2 On the CAG I have an UntilCondition that is a CodeCondition and it points to the following method: void untilCondition(object sender, ConditionalEventArgs e) { if (counter == maxNumber) { e.Result = true; } else { counter++; e.Result = false; } } The logic is not meant to make sense, its just a loop tha ...Show All

• sam-pan Windows Mobile 5 and DirectShow StillImage Capture. Any Advice/Tips?

  Hi All, Unfortuantely I'm not a C++ developer but I dable with it when the need arises and a need has certainly arisen. I have a .NETCF2.0 application targeting a WM5.0 PPC device. I want this application to control and use the devices built in camera. Now this has been a hardware specific thing and difficult to code, until now. I have looked at using the .NETCF2.0 Managed Camera API that wraps up the native SHCameraCapture() call in WM5. The managed code fails dismally but I managed to write an embedded C++ DLL that wraps up the SHCameraCapture() call and this works for me. Two problems with this 1) Its horribly slow loading, kind of unacceptable, the built in HP software loads a lot quicker. 2) The complete lack of control over ...Show All

• Sam Jost Windows Service Running Word via DCOM

  Hi everyone, I developed a Windows service which uses MS Word to generate documents. I call Word using DCOM / OLE. Up to now it worked pretty well. I tested the service on Windows Vista (Beta2, RC1, RC2) and it doesn't work anymore. Opening a Document in Word crashes with varying error messages. Office 2003 sais somthing like "Not enough memory". Office 2007 sais something like "type mismatch". I guess it might have to do something with the Session 0 isolation in Windows Vista. As services in Vista now have an own session. But I guess Word has problems with it's screen. In older Windows versions, Word worked "in the dark". When I run the service as console everything works fine. Anyone an idea w ...Show All

• Ashish Vyas taskbar tooltips - please fix!

  In Windows XP, if you put the taskbar at the top of your screen, as I do, the taskbar button tooltips appear on the taskbar and obscure the buttons - very annoying! Of course, if the taskbar is at the bottom of the screen you don't have this problem, the tooltips appear above the bar, no matter where the exact position of the pointer is. The fix is to always display the tooltip below the taskbar if the bar is at the top of the screen. I like the feel of Windows XP, and I'll probably like Windows Vista too, but this minor point about taskbar tooltips is actually quite important because it affects my experience constantly. Thank you! I don't think this should be offered as a true remedy.  T ...Show All

• hooman.tadbiri Using the rules engine on its own

  Hi, I am attempting to utilize the WF rules engine on its own to validate and manipulate my application's interface. I have it working at a basic level but came up against some problems when trying to go deeper. Firstly, it appears as though the rules designer (as implemented by the RuleSetDialog class) does not allow multiple assemblies to be referenced. If my rules need access to types defined in more than one of my assemblies, this designer won't work. Only the types contained in the same assembly as the activity type can be accessed. Secondly, the designer does not work with generic types. If my rules are operating against a generic type (which I would like to do), the designer doesn't work. Does anyone know of an alternati ...Show All

• Beast Forever Self-updating application

  I'm hoping someone here can give me ideas, or at least point me in the right direction. Our application (under XP) is capable of downloading and installing updates to itself. An XML manifest is stored on the server, which outlines all the updated files. However, since the format of this file might need to change over time, the application itself isn't qualified to read this file. Instead, it uses a DLL. The DLL is always up to date (i.e. able to read the file manifest) because the application first downloads the latest version of the DLL from the server. It then invokes code in the DLL, which processes the manifest, creates a list of files that need to actually be downloaded, and returns control to the application. Next, ...Show All

• ReLoad Manifest affect BAT file?

• Phonics3k Seeking backwards with IMediaSeeking::SetPositions and AM_SEEKING_RelativePositioning

  We have some code which seeks the graph backwards by getting the current frame, subtracting 1 and calling SetPositions with AM_SEEKING_AbsolutePositioning. I wondered why we were doing that instead of using AM_SEEKING_RelativePositioning with a value of -1. For forward seeking we use that flag with a value of 1 and it works well. But using -1 gives E_INVALIDARG. Its not our custom source filter, because the call is not even making it through the graph manager code (verified by debugging with the symbol server) to the filters. Is that expected Note that this is Windows XP2 SP2. Is this a bug that is fixed in later versions of quartz.dll ...Show All

  Since Vista B2, I faced the same problem to install Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional:   The prerequisites CD fail to install .NET framework 1.1 and J# .Net framework 1.1, so I can’t continue the installation process since prerequisites aren’t guarantees.   I can figure how I can’t install .NET framework 1.1 since Vista come with its own 3.0 .NET framework. But why .NET 2003 install process still want to install an older .Net framework   Moreover, this issue could be bypassed by installing Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional on XP SP2, then by upgrading XP to Vista. Not so convenient…and it is no long working with Vista RC2 upgrade.   Is their any plan to correct this issue ...Show All
