• qt1h00 Bound Dynamic properties not retained after save - Using Vihang Dalal's Designer Rehosting

  I am using Designer Rehosting code posted by Vihang Dalal. I am also using DynamicPropertiesActivity from Ghenadie's blog. I create a workflow with DynamicPropertyActivity as one of the activities. Added 'strTest' to DynamicProperties collection. In order to be able to use this attribute in the rest of the workflow to bing to other activities, I believe I have to bind 'strTest' to a new member. So created a new Property member say dynProp_strTest. I can now use dynProp_strTest to bind to other activities. So far so good. The issue comes up when I try to save this workflow and then reopen it again in Designer. I can no longer see the new member 'dynProp_strTest' that I created. I understand it is getting lost during Save, but do not exactly ...Show All

• Jurgen Willis Automatically Center TextBlocks

  Now that I'm playing around alot with WPF/E I seem to have a lot of questions. :-) Is there any nice/easy way to automatically center text in a TextBlock within a canvas (or even other objects) With different font family's and sizes and no way to calculate the actual size of the rendered string on the client-side (Graphics.MeasureString works...but not unless a call is made to a Web Service or something that calculates a SizeF) it's difficult to know where to set the Canvas.Top and Canvas.Left positions for text blocks. Is there an easy way I'm missing maybe Yep....there's definitely no easy way to do it right now on the client-side so it would have to be built-into the WPF/E component itself. Centering text was just one of the ...Show All

• hrubesh Anybody succeeded in GFX/LFX development?

  Hello, guys. I'm really wondering if there is anybody who succeeded in custom GFX/LFX development I'm doing my best to set up sample GFX/LFX, but it does not work. Specially the inf which Microsoft provided is almost useless if the destination sound card is different from that of inf (which is CMedia9880). (Of course, I changed device id and the name of topology(KSNAME_eTopo) and wave(KSNAME_eWave) in INF file, but it didn't work.) Can anybody tell me if you succeeded in installing GFX/LFX or developing custom GFX/LFX effects Thanks in advance. The [MfgModelSection.<arch>] line is typically what needs changing to match your hardware . Clearly you need to change the CLSIDs as well. This example is ...Show All

• Cyber Sinh Where is the definitive post-beta ASP.NET Workflow Sample or Walk-through?

  Hi All, Since the release of .NET 3.0 I have not been able to find an ASP.NET Workflow sample that was not actually written for one of the betas.  Many of the examples out there that come up in the search engines have implementations that seem inconsistent with the final release of WF. The SDK does not include anything close to a complete ASP.NET workflow sample. The free Microsoft Learning module did not cover it anywhere near complete. So, what I am looking for is a clean, complete, post-beta example of how to use workflow in an ASP.NET application, not a web service, just a plain old ASP.NET workflow example.  Any links to a good post-beta sample or walk-through Th ...Show All

• Saad Ahmed /analyze + Windows Vista SDK + VSTS2005 = crash :(

  First time poster long time reader... I have been using VSTS2005 for sometime, main reason for upgrade was to use the /analyze compiler option for unmanaged c and c++. Two days ago I downloaded the Windows Vista SDK, installed it and clicked on 'All Programs->Microsoft Windows SDK->Visual Studio Registration->Register Windows SDK Directories with Visual Studio 2005'. Since then compiling my project with /analyze causes VSTS2005 to crash. I would rather not uninstall the SDK as the compiler seems to be finding a lot more issues with my code, before it crashes! Any suggestions what I can do Thanks in advance. Moved to Vista Development Issues forum. ...Show All

• DM_Hawk Dual layer

  Does IMAPI support writing to DVD dual layer Are there any example clients for that for both files and ISO image burning (for ISO images there's a DVDburn tool at nt resource kit, but not sure if it supports vista) IMAPIv2 supports dual-layer DVD+R and DVD-R media types just like any other media type. There is no special work required to write to either of these media types. Note that these media are single-session (i.e. write to them once w/ IMAPIv2, then they're essentially ROM media). See the many sample code bits in the WDK and/or MSDN. hth, . You are able to use Live UDF on DVD+/-R disks as long as you leave the session open. To eject the disc and still be able to continue adding content on DL discs, you nee ...Show All

• JAul Accept() error when spawning a task

  I am trying to spawn a task to listen for socket connections which will then spawn a task to receive from the connection. The problem I am having is that when I spawn the task the accept() returns an error of ENETDOWN (50) saying that the network is down. However, if instead of spawning the listening task I simply call the function the accept() returns fine. Here is the code... //Spawning a task int main() { taskspawn("listenTask", ListenForConncetion, 100, 0); Time t = {9999, 0}; Sleep(&t); Exit(0); } void ListenForConnection(void) { bind(listenSocket, (sockaddr *)&listenSocketInfo, sizeof(listenSocketInfo)); ..... listenSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); ..... while(1) { acceptSocket = acce ...Show All

• Nick Gravelyn ManualWorkflowSchedulerService, Event and HttpContext in ASP .Net
