• Software Development for Windows Vista Pattern for email approval?

  With a workflow hosted by a desktop application, we want to add an email-based approval to a workflow. It is clear how to send an email as part of a workflow, but what do you recommend for waiting for approval-via email Because the workflow is hosted by a desktop application, the workflow runtime might not be running when the approval email is returned. Michael your service (the workflow host) polls your mail server (if it's exchange your can use CDO or extendedMapi I think; maybe is there a class in .Net framework 2.0 for this) and sends an event to your workflow which is waiting for it. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Displaying HTML in Text Object?

  Has anyone out there had any success with using a text object to display HTML content in a report   We've tried changing the "text interpretation" to HMTL, but while it showed properly in the VS IDE, the rendered report just showed the actual HTML, not the proper output.  Any ideas The above post is not the answer, at least it wasn't for us.  What fixed it was editing the text interpretation format formula and adding "crHTMLText".  That fixed it right up.  Kind of odd, one would assume simply choosing HTML from the dropdown would be enough, but evidently not. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Urgent help required: Error 14001

  In Windows XP I ported a VC++ project previously built with ver 6.0 to 2005. I could run the application in my machine without any problems.

• SQL Server grouping and summing

  I need help in summing a column by dates in the format of "YYMMDD". We have multiple orders of the same product each day. I am importing this table to Excel and creating a dashboard.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Dream Build Play Contest Question - Using languages other than C#

  I've managed to use Chrome ( www.remobjects.com ) to create some small XNA demos that use the content from SpaceWars. The rules do not mention whether non C# langauges are allowed to enter the contest. Since there are several .NET 2.0 compatible compilers out there shouldn't this contest allow these entries as well as they can use both the Windows and XBox 360 XNA assemblies. Just to clarify, I have Visual C# Express and Game Studio Express installed on my machine, but am using Chrome via Visual Studion 2005 to write and compile my XNA demos and the plan is to use that combination to write future XNA games and contest entries. Could someone from the XNA contest team please clarify your position on the use of non C# languages for the Dream ...Show All
