  I log in using my e-mail address, however when I enter the e-mail address to be notified on it tells me I am using an invalid one.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Dynamic update within running TransactionScopeActivity

  1) It seems that Dynamic Update within running TransactionScopeActivity is not allowed! Is this any alternative/solution to this limitation (I know that Dynamic Update comes with its performance costs but in my scenarios flexibility is the primary requirement) 2) Is there any way to execute extra code after an Activity Completes (without using Dynamic Update) I have tried using AddHandler but it does not work! What is missing // Add EventHandler does not work DependencyProperty dpEvent = DependencyProperty .FromName( "ExecuteCode" , currentActivity.GetType()) as DependencyProperty ; currentActivity.AddHandler(dpEvent, new System.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Text Wrapping in Custom Activity

Here's my code: private Rectangle CalcImageRectangle() { Rectangle bounds = Bounds; Size sz = new Size(32, 32); Rectangle rcImg = new Rectangle(); rcImg.X = bounds.Left + 4; // ((bounds.Width - sz.Width) / 2); rcImg.Y = bounds.Top + ((bounds.Height - sz.Height) / 2); rcImg.Size = sz; return rcImg; } private Rectangle CalcTextRectangle() { Rectangle bounds = Bounds; Rectangle imgRect = ImageRectangle; Size sz = Image.Size; int room4Image = bounds.Left + 20 + sz.Width; return new Rectangle(room4Image, bounds.Top, bounds.Width - 4 - room4Image, bounds.Height); } My base size is 175 x 60, so the height is ...Show All

• SQL Server Unable to Edit Windows Password in Connect to Server dialog

  Hi, I think my description says it all. I have just installed Studio Express for the first time. I want to attach a database. When the connect to server dialog is displayed the user name and password text box is greyed out. The Password box is blank and I need to edit this. I switch to SQL authentication they are enabled but if I switch back to Windows authentication they are both greyed out. I have uninstalled and reinstalled but still no luck, Any help would be great. Hi, I resolved this myself. The answer was that the SQL Express service was run as NTAuthority which did not have permission to access the folder where my mdf file was. I ran the account using the my own which works fine ...Show All

• Commerce Server Credit Card sorting

  Hi Can anybody help with customising the sort order of credit card profiles please I've tried using SQL Server Profiler to work out which stored procedures are being executed, but it isn't obvious how they are being retrieved. Any help would be much appreciated. Regards Paul Tew If you are talking about the Starter Site and/or the Credit Cards that are listed in the user's profile, they are shown in the order that they are stored inthe multi-value property. The multi-value property (credit_card_list) is a delimited string of profile IDs (<guid>;<guid>) and each profile is retrieved individually. You will most likely need to do the sorting in the application. There is no join be ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem with report viewer

  Hi, I recently upgraded by ASP.Net 1.1 application to 2.0. 1.1 application was using awReportViewer to view the reports. But, when upgraded, awreportViewer doesnt display the RS2005 enhancements like sorting, etc...so I decided to replace it with Report Viewer control in VS2005. Now the problem starts, Whenever I try accesing the reports through application, it gives me error " Client found response content type of '', but expected 'text/xml'. The request failed with an empty response." This is how I have coded, ReportViewer1.ProcessingMode = ProcessingMode.Remote ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerUrl = New Uri( http://localhost/ReportServer/reportservice.asmx ) ReportViewer1.S ...Show All

• SQL Server Is it possible to create a cover page in SSRS 2005?

  Very simply, I need to add a cover page to my SSRS 2005 report. I've tried this using the Page Header region, but the cover page will not show up on Preview or Export. How and where do I create a cover page Hi, Bibble, Whatever you place first on the Report Design surface (the dotted white area), renders first. So try adding a rectangle which will act as a container, put whatever you want in the rectangle, and set a page break at the end of the rectangle. ========================================================== This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. ...Show All

• Visual C# Checklistbox problem in new domain...

  Hello, I have a window app written in c# that contains checklistbox. I had the statement clearselected() to clear out the checked checkboxes when the user loads the new case... Everything worked perfectly until my users got converted to new domain. Since they got converted to the new domain, the checkbox is no longer cleared out on pageload. Whatever the user selected in the previous case remained checked for the new case. The problem is: the application will not do anything because there are nothing actually checked (the checkedindices collection is actually cleared)! The user either has to shutdown the app or manually uncheck/recheck the items in order to add them to the checkeditem collection. The situati ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Duplex bindings vs Async

  Please excuse my ignorance. I would like to understand what the difference between these two patterns is: 1. use a Duplex contract to do callbacks to the Client 2. Client hosts a service endpoint for callbacks and passes the endpoint address as a parameter to the Server so that it can callback using a service proxy. (2) is possible with none duplex bindings so... What does (1) provide that you don't get from (2) Does the duplex contract do both the service request and the callback in one session context I'm sure there are some subtleties here that I don't see. Thanks, Ting I've never actually done 2 personally but I can see how it would definitely be more work. Using the duplex binding gives the server a ...Show All
