• ccrockatt Page Limit?

  Does anyone know whether there is a page limit in an XPS document I have created a 10,000 page XPS document printed with the Microsoft XPS Document Writer from Crystal Reports XI. I can open this document in the XPS viewer with no problems. However, when I create a 100,000 page document using the same package, the XPS document does not open in the XPS viewer and the memory use on my computer jumps and keeps on rising. I am working on Windows XP. Any ideas, anyone Hi, Spec says max. number of fixed pages in a fixed document is 1,000,000. But if your xps document is created in interleaved (default, document writer creates in non-interleaved), zip32 has a limitation on item count. Try creating doc ...Show All

• Dylan Smith Cannot find the X.509 certificate using the following search criteria...

  Hello, I'm trying to implement Microsoft's CardSpace Lab on my machine. When I start the service, I get the following error. Cannot find the X.509 certificate using the following search criteria: StoreName 'My', StoreLocation 'LocalMachine', FindType 'FindBySubjectName', FindValue 'www.fabrikam.com'. However I installed the certificate in my "Personal" store. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong Thanks... So it appears you got past the FindCertificateBySubject() problem you were hitting earlier. You might want to consult with the folks who are more experienced with certificates with these issues. I wasn't able to find a certificate forum, but your best bet would be trying th ...Show All

• Jayx Text and Linking

  I'm looking to redevelop an SVG map based application to WFP/e. There are two SVG elements that are used extensively that I cant find any equivelent to: - <use> element for referencing existing objects. <textPath> for rendering text along a path. Could anyone tell me whether if there are alternatives or other mechanisms that can be used Thanks for the swift answer. I am using the <textPath> to run road names along the road paths. I have a couple of ideas about getting around this for proof of concept & proof of technology purposes. The <use> element is used in three ways: - 1. To reproduce shapes & paths in an overview window at a different scale to the main map (a bit lik ...Show All

• dj1smsu : warning C4996: '_vsnprintf' was declared deprecated

  what does this message mean .... Deprecated normaly means that it may be removed in the next version of the Visual Studio. For the unsafe string functions that is not the case. It is just a hint to show you all places where you use the unsafe functions. Many of the string runtime functions are considered unsafe as they do not know the size of the buffer they write to or they have unsafe behaviour regarding a trailing 0 character. You should find functions which end on _s, e.g. _vsprintf_s. You should use them instead. Mostly you need to specify the size of the buffer. Where possible template functions are used to get the size of the buffer automatically. So just look up the parameters from MSDN and switch to the safe ...Show All

• Duque Vieira Determine if WorkFlow is loaded.

  Hey All, I'm trying to persist a workflow when my application closes unexpectedly. I have the SqlWorkflowPersistenceService running just fine. The frmMain_FormClosing works if the workflow is running, but fails if it has already completed. What should I be testing to see if the workFlowInstance is competed, or still running Eric AutoResetEvent m_WaitHandle; WorkflowInstance m_WorkflowInstance; private void btnStartWorkFlow_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Thread tl = new Thread(StartWorkFlow); tl.Start(); } private void StartWorkFlow() { using (WorkflowRuntime workflowRuntime = new WorkflowRuntime()) { m_WaitHandle = new AutoResetEvent(false); workflowRuntime.AddServic ...Show All

• briendjf conime.exe procedure issue in console application

  Hi all, I am using a non-western language Vista, when I start my console application, the extra procedure conime.exe (as I know, it's shared to use for all console application) is launched automatically. But when my console application exits, the procedure conime.exe still has some relationship with my console application, I can't remove my console application folder (my console application is installed, I launch it, exit it, and remove all files and folder of my console application). But after terminating the conime.exe procedure, I can remove my console application folder. On Win2l/XP, I can remove the folder after exit my console application, without terminating the conime.exe procedure. Since conime.exe is used for all console ...Show All

• dragoncells FileNotFoundException in GetWorkflowDefinition

  When I used GetWorkflowDefinition, I got a FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///E:\MyWorkflow.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. MyWorkflow.dll is the DLL containing my workflow definition. If I copy this DLL file to the directory of my program, the problem will be solved. What I don't understand is that, why does GetWorkflowDefinition still need the DLL file now that it is a method of WorkflowInstance I create my workflow like this: Assembly workflow_assembly = Assembly.LoadFrom(my_workflow_path); Type workflow_type = workflow_assembly.GetType(workflow_type_fullname); if (workflow_type != null) { _wi = _ ...Show All

• Wellnow Programmatically logging off a certain user

  Hi, I would like to build a windows service that decide to log off a certain logged user. I've seen some samples to log off using the ExitWindowsEx function of user32.dll. That function will log off the current user (the user that is running the process) But, since I want to log off (from a windows service that is running with Local Service) a certain user session. Thanks, David Ok ... I think I am getting closer but still missing some parts. What I could do is to create a really simple exe program that does Force Log Off current user. And in the service I would need to call that exe through the call CreateProcessAsUser. The "thing" that I am missing is the user token that I need to pass to the CreateProcessAsU ...Show All

• Chabs Invoke another workflow

  Hi, I know it is possible to invoke a workflow from another workflow. But is it possible to invoke a custom Sharepoint Workflow from a "normal" workflow Thanks Thomas It is related to workflow, but it is SharePoint's implementation. This forum is for questions about the base foundation and using just what comes from WF you can easily invoke another workflow. What dependencies are required by SharePoint to invoke a workflow, whether from a normal workflow or host, is something specific to SharePoint and you are more likely to get an answer in one of their forums. Well without really giving it too much thought, you could host a Web Service on the SP server, that you called from your & ...Show All

• Jeff Weber Graph Works in GraphEdit but not in Code

  I wrote a DVD player application and built the graph manually (didn't use DVDGraphBuilder and its auto graph building feature, just a normal GraphBuilder with manually connected filters). I added the graph created at runtime to the ROT (Runtime Object Table) and then did "Connect to Remote Graph" in graph edit, thereby loading the graph from my code into graph edit. If I play this graph in graph edit, it works perfectly. But in my program the first screen shows up for about 1 second and then it goes white and then the dvd plays with no video, only audio (with the ActiveMovie window continually filled a white screen). I can't figure out why the graph will not keep on rendering the video when running the code, since the exact same graph (sam ...Show All

• paulixml Change Design Surface Background Color

  I'm embedding a workflow designer inside of my application. I based this off of the Designer ReHosting sample. It is working just fine. However, I absolutely despise the blue'ish designer surface that my workflow appears on top of by default. Is there a way to change this design surface color Sounds like a very trivial problem, but I've yet to figure out how... Thanks, Mark Mark, Sorry to hear about your frustrations. I *think* I know what you're trying to do, but I'm a bit confused between two colors you might be wanting to change. If you're trying to change the color that "appears on top of the workflow by default", I think you want to change the title color surrounding ...Show All
