• Software Development for Windows Vista How one can create workflow project?

  I've yet installed .Net 3.0. When building a workflow project, a message appears that says: 'Type or namespace name does not exist in the namespace System '. Sure it doesn't. Though Workflow samples in Windows SDK use namespace 'System' like this: 'System.Workflow'. So, why does the error happen Yes, the Visual studio 2005 Extensions hadn't been installed. After it was been installed the workflow project created succesfully. ...Show All

• SQL Server data from one table into another

• Windows Forms Modal Dialog Box focus problems and Painting Problems

  I have written a Windows Forms application using C++ (.NET 2.0). I have encountered two problems I believe are related. The first occurs sometimes when I open a modal "dialog box", in the form of a MessageBox.Show, FileDialog or custom form using ShowDialog. The dialog box does not appear on top of my application, it is hidden and thus gives the illusion that my application has frozen (The Z-Order is not first). The second is that after displaying these dialog boxes (When they do show up on top), the controls under them do not repaint themselves, leaving "ghost" images of the dialog box that was just closed. I have found several threads on this forums posted by others who have encountered the same, or similar, problems, ...Show All

• .NET Development Some useful classes in .NET

  I have ideas about some useful classes to be created in future versions of .NET. I don't know where to post it so I post it here. Here they are: 1) Generic hashtable (it's useful when you have objects of one type in it, it helps to avoid many typecasts) 2) Array with arbitary intexes(including negative) 3) Math.Max(params ...) - Max function for many variables (int. arrays of variables) 1) already exists. It's the Dictionary<K,V> class from the System.Collections.Generic namespace: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xfhwa508.aspx 2) this is somehow supported by using Array.CreateInstance method but since it's not supported by C# it's not very useful. However I doubt that C# will ever add support ...Show All

• Visual Studio VS 2002 w/ .NET 2.0

  is it possible to use .NET 2.0 with my exisitng Visual Studio 2002 installation i installed the redistributable package and the sdk for 2.0 for x86 and Visual Studio still uses the 1.0 version. can i change this no you cannot. VS2002 has .NET 1.0, VS2003 has .NET 1.1 and VS2005 has .NET 2.0 I believe you cannot change the framework to use with VS as they are designed specifically for a particular version of framework "side by side" sort of idea.   I believe that with VS2005, you can use the standard .NET 2.0 as well as .NET 3.0 CTP ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Run Time Error 1004 On Long Running Stored Procedure

  I am encountering a "Run Time Error 1004" when I attempt to execute a stored procedure from within Excel VBA. The stored procedure takes about a minute to return results. I have tested with shorter running procedures successfully, so it must have something to do with the amount of time it takes to return results. The For loop is never executed because no results return. The error occurs on the last command where I attempt to set the column names in the spreadsheet equal to the column names from the recordset. Obviously errors because no recordset exists. As you can see I have set the timeout for the command to indefinite. I have also unsuccessfully tried a DoEvents after the command has been executed.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) How do I set ReceiveTimeout for a callback channel?

  The title pretty much says it all. I've noticed that even though I can set the timeout on my duplex named pipe service (which prevents my session from ending), the callback channel doesn't use the same value and times out after the default of 2 minutes. Is this something I have to set on the client, and if so, how Thanks, Aaron I'm using a similar configuration (netNamedPipeBinding + callback channel), and getting a similar timeout problem on the callback channel, except the timeout seems to be 10 minutes instead of 2. At first I thought I would just have to change the receiveTimeout value (since, as far as I know, this appears to be the only timeout value that is set to 10 minutes by default). I tried ...Show All
