• SharePoint Products and Technologies Restart Central Administration Service

  Hi, a bad man has stopped "Central Administration Service" on Operations -> Services on Server. How can Central Administration Service be restarted Cannot go to Central Admin, when the service is not running :-) Best regards TST I see it now. You have to select the "Custom" role to see it. When I stop mine, it removes the "Central Administration v3 Site" from IIS. In order to get it back, I had to re-run "SharePoint Products and Technologies Configuration Wizard" (from the start menu). I told it to "Do not disconnect from this server farm" so I wouldn't lose all of my settings. (all of my web applications and settings were retained (por ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista transactions and ExternalDataExchangeService

  I have a state machine workflow that represents my process. At a pre defined time, a bunch of instances get kicked off. Then individual users interact with specific instances to move them through their states. Finally, at another pre defined time, I need to complete all the instances, followed by running a stored proc. To complete the instances I can just iterate through all the active ones and raise my ThingyCompleted event in my ExternalDataExchangeService. The trick is that I want all the event raising and the execution of a single stored proc to all happen in the same transaction. Since the stored proc is basically a rollup and needs to happen after all my workflow instances complete, it has to be run from the host (as opposed to ...Show All

• .NET Development Soap Extension and returning Nothing

  Hello. I am writing a web service and I need to use a Soap Extension to add a custom header that is expected at the destination. I can use the Soap Extension successfully for adding the header in the AfterSerialize section and the destination accepts my request and sends back the appropriate data, but my problem comes when I try to return the data. Depending on what I do I either get an exception that "the root element is missing" or being returned Nothing. The following is where the exception is being generated: Dim results() As Object = Me .Invoke( "ProcessMessage" , New Object () {payload}) payload = CType (results( 0 ), Payload) I have found some references that ChainStream in the soap extens ...Show All

• Windows Forms STA and threadpool problem

  Hello, I have a Windows Form project which i tried to merge with a console project that uses Thread pool. After i did that i got a messege saying: "WaitAll for multiple handles on a STA thread is not supported." OMG someone please help me! this is an emergency beucase i must use the ThreadPool. anyone has an idea There would be two reasons the thread that calls WaitHandle.WaitAll() would run in a STA apartment. One is that you're calling it on the GUI thread. That's a no-no, you *have* to pump messages to keep an STA apartment and the GUI alive. Another is that you've initialized a background thread with calling SetApartmentState. The only reason you would have to do that is t ...Show All

• Visual C# log file time stamp validation

  My program is reading large log files that contain lines with times stamps and also line with log data. The data information following a time stamp line is either on one line or many, so I cant anticipate weather it's reading a time stamp line and a data line. So I need an efficient way to tell whether a line is a valid time stamp or data. Anyone have a good idea of how to do this Here is an example of a log file: 07.07.2006 17:32:13 ERROR ******************** Database access failed.
