• Carl Daniel Two IEs from VS2005 on Vista

  Hello All, I have installed the following: 1) Vista Beta 2 (Ultimate and Business versions) 2) VS2005 IDE 3) IIS7 When I create a default Web Site from VS, and run it under the Debug / Start Without Debugging menu option, two instances of IE come up. One has the correct URL and the other is set to about:blank. If I run the Web Site from the Debug / Start Debugging menu option, only one instance of IE comes up, and it has the correct url. I am running VS with elevated administrator privileges. Has anyone else seen this behavior, and if so, is there a fix for it I have tried turning off / on, security / other settings from IIS and IE to no avail. Thanks for any help you can give, Scot ...Show All

• sreejith s Vihang's Designer Re-Hosting usage problem

  Hi, I am trying to construct a workflow consisting of a whileActivity using Re-hosting code. I have provided an interface for adding variables/funcs to the workflow. I first used 'Declarative Rule condition' for the conditionexpression. Added a condition STOP == true where STOP is my added variable. When i run the workflow it throws me an exception with inner exception message 'Could not load file or assembly 'test, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified' inside the workflow terminated event handler. This occurs evenwhen i don't use variable and put a conditionlike true == true. Any Pointers...

• Jonathan Stanton SUA does not create log file - only error is: log file does not appear to be well formed - No (valid) log file is found

  Hello everybody, Please excuse me, if this is not the correct place to post, then please direct me. I also had a search in MSDN Forums with these searches, which did not help me much: well formed standard user well formed SUA (no results) well formed (just too many results to scan through :-( ) So, I post it here.   I did test with SUA other applications, which worked fine, but this one makes probs.

• dsl_beginner MP3 in memorystream

  Hi all, is any possibility how to play mp3 from memorystream or o ther forms of streams Or how decode mp3 file to wav with any external dll (no *.exe!) with api wraps.

• Terry B How to use IMAPIv2 in Windows XP, and how to burn DVD in Windows XP?

  I have created a demo which can burn CDs using IMAPIv1. But it can burn only CD-R or CD-RW, not DVD-r or DVD-RW. My environment: Windows XP professional; VC6; Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2. My questions: Is there a IMAPIv2 package for Windows XP Does vs2003 or vs2005 support IMAPIv2 Does only Vista support IMAPIv2 now If I have the SDK for Vista installed, do you know if I can leverage IMAPIv2 in my application to target WinXPSP2 clients, provided they have the NET 3.0 framework installed Or would my application only work on Vista clients Thanks, Karen Glad to hear you had success with the v1 APIs.

• Kamii47 how to retrieve custom exception messages in faulthandlers in the RTM version

  Hi, I am using RTM version of Windows Workflow. I have created simple sequential workflow where I have code activity which throws exception explicitly. I have added faulthandler activity to catch this exception which again contains another code activity. All I want to do is retrieve my custom exception message thrown from first code activity in my code activity2. In the June CTP version, we could create a property of type Exception and assign that to "Fault" property of faulthandler at design time and retrieve this message. In RTM version, I can't assign this as "Fault has become read-only. Same is through code. Can somebody help to achieve this in RTM version Thanks, Manoj ...Show All

• djchapin Resuming Host-Runtime and Checking for Needed Services

  We are building a workflow "host" which will load and run various workflows for the organization. Most workflows will require the Persistence and Tracking services, while some will need the ExternalDataExchange Service and other custom services we design. What happens if we've loaded several services and have workflows running, persisted, etc. and the host is taken offline/crashes. When the host restarts and resumes any persisted/queued workflows will the host automatically invoke the required services for each workflow I know that we can check (from within the runtime host) to see if a specific service is running, and if it is not we can add it to the runtime. But what happens when the host comes back after a crash. Is the ...Show All

• JoeSmith Loading custom activities in toolbox

  I have created a custom activity (deriving from System.Workflow.ComponentModel.Activity) using CodeDom and I am able add this custom activity in to the workflow toolbox, if i add the .cs file in to my project.  Now, I am trying host the workflow designer in a windows application (similar to WFPad).  When I load my custom activity in to WFPad (Beta 2) toolbox and all I am seeing in the toolbox is a new item with "Unknown Item" name. I am not able to add this activity to my workflow.  Is there any pre-requisite to add custom activities to the toolbox   I mean, do i need to move my assembly (for the custom activity) to GAC before loading it the toolbox Here is the code I use to load my activity in t ...Show All

• Morn Rasing integrity level from a low level integrity process

  From IE7 (Protected mode) on Vista, i am launching a process (A) which has low level integrity since IE7 runs as low level. Can i launch a process(B) from A with high or medium integrity level That's precisely the syntax to request that notepad.exe run elevated. As such it makes sense that admin credentials are required, since Guest is not an administrator. Thanks.. BTW: How can i run Notepad as a medium integrity level instead of High integrity level.Basically i am trying to run a process which can run fine on Guest and Admin Accounts on Vista without needing for admin credentials. The low integrity process A will have to ask a higher integrity process to sta ...Show All

• Sarath. A question about State workflow

  Hi, I have a state workflow and it initializes in state A after receiving an external event. In this initialize state, it receives an object as event argument. Now in state A, i wanted to see if value of one of the property (DateTime) of this object is matching with today. If not i want it to wait until the today is equal to the value of the property, else if date is >= today, I want to set the state to State B The date value of the property could be any future day of the year, and my question is... how to implement this and if the duration is too long e.g. date is Dec31st2006 and today is July 5th2006. In this case what would happen to workflow instance will it be loaded in runtime untill the date is Dec312006 or it will be persi ...Show All

• danielanvar IApplicationAssociationRegistration and shobjidl.h for Vista

  Where can I obtain a copy of the latest SHOBIDL.H, which contains the declarations for IApplicationAssociationRegistration In particular, I need the IID and CLSID for the thing. Thanks! Are you saying that IApplicationAssociationRegistration, ASSOCIATIONTYPE and ASSOCIATIONLEVEL are not defined in your copy of shobjidl.h In the shobjidl.h file that ships with the Windows SDK for Windows Vista, there are defined on line 21173, 21154 and 21146 respectively. I recommend rolling your own. I haven't upgraded to the vista toolkit, and found that shobjidl.h had all sorts of dependencies that made it impossible to compile with when used in an older sdk. It only took a few minutes to copy the enum and clas ...Show All

• Akuyume Outlook 2007 - ISA 2000 - Windows Vista: How???

  Hi! The items above describe my current computer configuration. I've read many times that the Microsoft Firewall Client for ISA 2000 (or 2004) does not work in Windows Vista. I can accept that. For web browsing, I established IE's proxy parameters manually, and they work fine. And so with some other applications I have installed in my computer. My current problem is with Outlook (or Windows Mail, for that effect). I've read also many times that Outlook (or Windows Mail) does not use IE's proxy configuration, trying to access POP3 servers directly. But, since Firewall Client won't run in my computer, that means basically I cannot read my e-mail using Outlook (or Windows Mail ). Is there any chance for this situation to be solved anytime ...Show All
