• Visual Studio Express Editions How to run an embedded application

  I would like to build an application that installs other applications. I have figured the following out: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("temp") + "\theapp.exe /quiet") The problems I am having is actaully embeding theapp.exe into the setup.exe. It requires the folder WindowsApplication1_1_0_0_0 to be present, I want a single bundled application. I know there are packaging applications for doing that, but cannot find any that are free. Any help if you want to pass args to the process then you need to use the startinfoclass of the process: Dim p As New Process Dim si As New ProcessStartInfo si . File ...Show All

• Gadgets OT: Suggestions about gallery.live.com

  Several things stand out about this site, now that people are starting to use it. So, here's some suggestions: Implement some sort of language filtering. Although I have nothing against the use of non-English and think it's actually commendable than MS allowing it, I would rather filter out Gadgets that are of no use to me. Alternatively allow multiple languages in the Gadget description, or some form of language translation. Improve Gadget images. It would be great if you could attach screenshots, as well as the 100x100 icon. Do something about Gadget spam. "Vamos Strip Player" springs to mind, I'd hate to think how many times it's posted. Remove the 1000 character limit on the description field, and allow it to be rich text ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System switch between TFS and TFS proxy

  Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum. But i wonder if there is an easy way to switch between our configuration for TFS and that for TFS Proxy. We have 2 offices and I would like something that allows our developers to startup the vs.net using the correct settings taking into account the location they are. I was thinking of 2 shortcuts 1 which starts the vs.net without the proxy settings and than a second one that starts with the proxy settings. i really don't my developers to need to change the settings everytime they change office. Does any one have an idea on how to do this Dear Richard, thank you very much for this answer. as a result I've been able to develop my vs.net plugin that will a ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Can I dehydrate the Workflow object as well as the instance?

  Hiya All Can I dehydrate the workflow object (i.e. not an instanciation of it) into SQLServer I want to save all versions created of a workflow so that I can chose to instanciate the workflow from any of the previous versions if I need to. This is due to a compliancy issue - being able to reconstruct the data created by a previous version of a workflow to prove accuracy. Thanks Michelle x How do you instantiate and return an instance of the proper workflow if the _workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow is expecting a TestVersionWorkflowProxy type and the TestVersionWorkflowVersionX 's are only decorated with that Attribute with the TestVersionWorkflowProxy type. I figure reflection is used here somewhere to do this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Get Latest Version extremely slow

  Hello, When we do a "Get Latest Version" for a project containing about 450 subfolders this operation shows the "Contacting server to get list of items to update..." for a very long time. Eventually it will come up with an error "HTTP code 500: Internal Server Error". The event log indicates a time out. I have already increased the executionTimeout values for the various .config files used by the Web Services. This increases the time it takes for this error to appear (this can take up to 2 hours) but the error still appears. These subfolders each contain about 20 files with a total size in each folder of 180KB. While the "Get Latest Version" is active the server CPU is not busy at all, it stays ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista How to extend compiled workflow through XOML?

  Two questions if any body can help then thanks in advance. 1. I've seen many posts which says that it isn't possible to pass parameters to a xoml only workflow, why does the CreateWorkflow signature accept a dictionary object for parameters I'm guessing there has to be some way, that I have yet to be seen and might be answered in question 2. 2. I was wondering if possible and how to extend a compiled workflow engine that takes parameters by creating a new xoml only workflow. I need to pass parameters to a xoml only workflow that is of a compiled workflow engine type. <n:MySequential xmlns:x=" http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/xaml " xmlns= http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/xaml/workflow xmlns:n="clr-namespace: ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS - Several Bugs in creating a simple task

  I was creating an SSIS package, seemingly simple. One of the tasks I needed to do involved copying our production database to a seperate DB instance for staging. I wanted an SSIS package that would stage production so we could push and test changes. My first problem is that I tried to create a simple Transfer Database task. When I tried to run the task, I got an error stating that our Stored Procedure, DtsRun, could not be scripted. It's an encrypted stored procedure. A little annoyed, I decided that I'd do a transfer SQL objects instead. Now I don't want to hard-code my objects to xfer based on the current schema and edit this SSIS script every time we make a DB change; I just want it to copy ALL objects except for my encrypted proc ...Show All

• .NET Development Instrumentation problems using latest Jan 2006 version of Enterprise Library

  Has anyone ever tried instrumenting a component using InstrumentationListener and InstrumentationProvider from the latest Enterprise Library I am following a sample code from the documentation but it fails during run-time when I try to raise OnDbConnect event from the code below. The error that I get is "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". I am sure it is an easy fix but I cannot seem to find what is wrong. ObjectBuilder is supposed to link an OnDbConnect event from the InstrumentationProvider with the function ConnectObserved() from the InstrumentationListener, but that is clearly not happening :-( Here is the code: public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reflecting domain property value on shape colour, outline etc..

  Hello, I need connectors and shape to refect property values. Therefore, I registered connector and shape observers to reflect property changes on relationships and domain elements. I am using OnAssociatedPropertyChanged event handlers. This works fine when I change a property value. The problem is to present the right aspect of shapes and connectors when the model is re-loaded in memory. In that case, the events are fired for the connectors but not for the shape. So when the model is loaded, the connectors are presented correctly but the shapes are not. Any idea Thanks Alain Hello Steven, I already worked around the problem like this. Don't know if this is what the DS ...Show All
