• Software Development for Windows Vista Wasting GUIDs?

  Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I've been having a look at MSDN and I couldn't really find out an answer to this question, and as I use GUID's following the examples of WF, I decided to ask here. My question is: I create a new guid for every workflow I run (every purchase order). Now, for testing purposes, I create a limited amount of orders, say 20 - 30. But in the future maybe it would have to run 300 orders, and I don't understand exactly how it deals with GUID's. If a GUID is unique, as its name sais, then this means that once you use it once you can't use it again I know that being a 128 bit string this gives a LOT of GUIDs, but isn't it a waste of resources to use a guid for every insta ...Show All

• Visual C# using nested namespaces in application

  Hi, hopefully this is an easy one: I have mutiple namespaces contained within my main assembly for grouping similar classes. For example, let's just say my assembly name is "MainAssembly", and in MainAssembly, I have the following namespaces: MainAssembly.FirstLayer MainAssembly.FirstLayer.a MainAssembly.FirstLayer.SecondLayer MainAssembly.FirstLayer.SecondLayer.a MainAssembly.OutsideLayer Ok, now in my Application that has a reference to this project. My application has it's own namespace, so I need to include the assembly namespace: using MainAssembly; However, when I add this namespace, I cannot see any of the nested namespaces! The only way for my Application to see these, is by inclu ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to set the install path for application

  I noticed that my app doesn't install to the Program Files directory as VB6 does it. Instead, the wizard creates a jumbled multi level directory and sticks your app in there. How can we change that Thanks. I'm lost. I don't know exactly where to find the File System View in the setup project. Are you talking about the publish folder Because that's the only thing I know about. Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server I need to create maintenance plans on SQL 2005 without using the wizard

  I have several hundred SQl installations I need to change or create a maintenance plan and i don't want to touch every box. I need the step by step process to load the tables myself. If you want to run the maintenance from a single seat, you could create a set of maintenance tasks in Integration Services, and create multiple connections for them. If you want to have the same plan on multiple servers run from each server, I'd create an Integration Services package again and ship it to the other servers. Use (local) as the connection string, assuming the same account can access each server. Buck Woody http://www.buckwoody.com ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Closing of Applications by the shell

  I am developing an application using visual studio 2005 VB for smartphones. The application is a weekly alarm using a simple timer. The problem is that within a week, usually a few days, the application is closed due to garbage collection. I have tried 'on closing' event using e.cancel which does not work. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. First of all, I don't think your application is closed by a GC. Most probably it's closed by the OS's memory manager, when it detects that there's not enough memory to run some other app. Second of all, setting the e.Cancel parameter in your closing event is not going to stop from your application being closed by the memory manager. Take a look at this blog post for more details; http:/ ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Disabling Windows Mobile security Warning through RAPI

  Hi I've been trying to disable the Security Message that pops up when an unknown app trys to run. I was told that these values are the ones related to that message: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies] "0000101a" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies] "00001006" However when I use CeRegSetValueEx, I got an access denied error message. Anyone know of a way to disable the security message That's because RAPI does not allow this by default. The only way to get this done is by provisioning a new security configuration to the device.
