• Commerce Server Guidelines for Marketing Reports

• Visual Studio Team System is there any way to put source location infomation of types and interfaces into pdb file while building the debug version?

  i've read some previous posts that indicates source location information of some code elements are not stored in the pdf file, including (but not limited to) types, interfaces, abstract methods, assemblies. so, i am wondering, is there any way to put these infomation into pdf file a compile parameter or something thanks . felix ji Maybe you are looking for a perfect solution when a less than perfect but acceptable solution would work. For example, with a Type you might not know the first line but you can get line information from the members of the Type and therefore pop Visual Studio to the lowest line number you find. Of course, partial classes complicate this and it probably won't work with in ...Show All

• SQL Server How to create cumulative S-curve?

  Hi I need to make two reports: one containing the Raleigh chart, the other containing a cumulative curve. In the raleigh report I do this: Per project I can see the amount of mandays on a timebase(weeks). For the s-curve (cumulative curve) this needs to happen (and I dont know how): I need to see the sum of the amount of mandays on a timebase(weeks). An example: In raleigh curve: week1 has 20md(mandays), week2 has 30md, week3 has 15md, week4 has 5md In s-curve the same values should give: week1 has 20md, week2 has 50md(30+20), week3 has 65md(50+15), week4 has 70md (65 + 5) I tried a sum of a sum but thats not allowed in RS Anyone who knows how to generate an s-curve (cumulative curve) ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Can both side of menu bars popup menu items on smartphone?

  I am trying to make a menubar that can popup menu items of both side.But problem occurs:when I press the softkey separately I got the same menu item popuped! That's why Is there someone have experiences about this Please help me. Thank you! Hi, Yes, it is possible. In case you are using Smartphone style menus with RCDATA/SHMENUBAR resource in rc2 file, the image here may help you understand it better. http://avinashprasad.spaces.live.com/photos/ The basic idea shall be to not to use NOMENU options on any of the buttons. And putting the appropriate submenu index from the attached menu. For example in the image attached use 1 instead of NOMENU in the first menu to show up the "Hidden" submenu for the first button.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why does ClientBase Dispose need to throw on faulted state? (Or, what's the difference between close and abort?)

  Could someone enlighten me as to why calling Dispose on a faulted client proxy needs to throw an CommunicationObjectFaultedException instead of just aborting the client   Essentially we have to do this: Client c = new Client(); try {  c.Foo();  c.Close(); } catch (Exception) {  c.Abort();  throw; } Instead of: using(Client c = new Client()) {  c.Foo(); } Yes, I've read the justifications in the SDK and here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=627970&SiteID=1  but the "summary of internal discussion" seems to be "well, that's what we're doing, so deal with it."

• Software Development for Windows Vista Modifying custom composite activities at design/runtime time inside of a workflow.

  If I create a composite activity that inherits from SequentialActivity and has a number of other activities added to it and drop this new activity on a workflow is it possible to modify it at design time. So if one of the sub-activities I dropped on my composite activity was a sequential activity can it get modified after it is dropped on to the workflow. Basically what I want is to be able to create custom activities with certain common flows but at some point I want to be able to put a place holder in that flow to allow someone reusing my custom activity to do something custom. 2nd question related to the first. Same situation but instead of a placeholder (i.e. sequential activity) inside of this custom activity I want to use an ...Show All
