• Software Development for Windows Vista 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

• SQL Server Cube deployment issue SSAS 2005

  Hello all, I got an issue with deploying my cube. I am new to SSAS 2005, and I cannot find the option to define which account to use with deploying. I managed to choose the server for deployment, but strangely enough, no user can be selected, so when it deploys, it throws an error stating the standard windows login isn't valid (wich is correct, but I do not want to use standard windows login). Thanks, that answers my question about how these cubes are being stored. :-) Is it suffice when I get those rights only on that particular directory where the cube is stored ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Release Images from process

  I have an ASP.NET application to generate pages for a magazine. To generate this pages I use WPF, I call a new Thread with a STA Appartment. Thread call = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Generate)); call.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA); call.Start(); In the magazine I'm generating I use some images that I can download from the web, after downloaded these images are stored in a server folder to be used later by WPF to generate the pages. The problem is that after generating the pages I want to delete the images, after the process is complete and the application process keeps locking the images. I've tried to terminate the process using the images, but it seems that it is the webserver using the images and the only way I f ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to compile windows app without VS?

  Hello, I have a windows application which has multiple forms and classes files and icons made by visual studio 2003 Now i don't have visual studio, but only i have the compiler csc.exe , so how to comile the project ps: can the 2003 project be compiled so that it works with .net framework version 1.0 Regards My experience with it is limited, but as far as I can tell MSBuild is only available with VS2005. You should still be able to do everything using csc compiler though. You can incorporate the icons and such into resource files, then use the /linkresource switch for the compiler to compile it into the assembly. You can find a resource editor at http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/. Hopefully this will help get you thr ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Access "Start Date" and "Finish Date" via TFS API

  Hi, I'm integrating access to TFS in one of our internal development tools. So far I have successfully connected to the TFS, retrieved a WorkItem etc. I was also able to modify the "Completed Work" field programmatically. How could I access "Start Date" and "Finish Date" Those fields seem not to be part of the Fields collection. I haven't found any samples. Any help would be appreciated. Regards Uwe Thanks for your reply, but the problem lies in another area: I have found out that it is no problem to access (and modify) those fields. But those fields are initially not present in the fields collection. They are added somehow by Excel or Project when first ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) Any one have samples of 3D text (the code), like the ones in Joe Stegman video?

• Visual C++ Libraries linkage errors make me CRAYZEEE

  Hey all, I"m frustrated from working with Visual C++ and libraries :/ I am developing my MFC based project, for which I wanted to add a log system to track my bugs and error msg and etc., I have created a static library project and created my Log class: Make sure that your .exe project and all static libraries link the same runtime library.

• SQL Server how can I get vb6 to update offline recordset when view has defined an attribute as adFldUnknownUpdatable?

  hopefully, someone has already solved this problem I have been assigned an application that maps data from access databases into a view in Sql Server 2005. A vb6 application does a select on the view. The recordset is then modified by the application, and eventually, the original tables will be updated with the new data. Some of the fields in the view are the result of calculations ( i.e. adding multiple varchar fields together to produce one complex varchar result ). Any of the fields that are calculated in the manner previously described have the adFldUnknownUpdatable bit set in the attributes of the recordset, and consequently, you get a -2147217887 error ( multiple-step operation .... ) when you try to change the value of the field ...Show All
