• Software Development for Windows Vista Context in workflow?

  I was curious to know if there a way of sharing a "context" between all activities in a workflow instance. I am looking at something analogous to HttpContext in ASP.NET and LogicalCallContext in Remoting. Of course, I can resort to ThreadLocalStorage or AppDomain data myself, but I wondering whether there is a better way of handling this. Thanks, Manoj The ReadyForAppoval method takes a ExternalDataEventArgs as parameter. Create a class that inherits from ExternalDataEventArgs. Before you call the ReadyForAppoval from within your wf, add some activity/WF properties to the WorkflowEventArgs1.Properies.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Streaming wmv file using rstp:// protocol fails with MediaElement

  Hi, I'm trying to embed a MediaElement with the source from a bigpondsport video. The url for the video is 'rtsp://wm9.streaming.telstra.com/wh_cricket0/OnDemand/NWSTest02'.

• SQL Server Time dimension limits kills performance

  Hi, I have a cube with a fiscal time dimension like that: Year = 2005, 2006, 2007 Quarter = 20051, 20052, 20053 Then months and weeks using format like 200501, 200502 etc. Cube is partitioned by quarters, 12 partitions in total. Now what puzzles me is this: - When I query this from an Excel pivot and set no limit on the time dimension so I get something like total 2005, 2006 by quarters and 2007 by weeks, the query processes in a few miliseconds - When I query this from an Excel pivot and exclude something from the time dimension so I would get only 2006 and 2007, the query now takes up to 30 minutes. The code generated by Excel is much different between the 2 situations however, since the cube is partitioned by ...Show All

• SQL Server .Net DataProvider for SAP Timeout

  I am using the .Net DataProvider for SAP. When importing data I receive an error, when calling sap functions via exec. The errors vary (e.g. Error 0xc0047062: Data Flow Task: Microsoft.Adapter.SAP.SAPManagedProviderException: System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.) On the sap-side the function runs, but it takes a few minutes. I can ask the sap-bw team to speed up their performance, but this is political. The sql-timeout parameter is not working with this datareader. Have you any proposal that solves the problem.

• Visual Studio adding a where clause

  I have a crystal report that grabs all the data from the database, MS Access DB, but I need it to only grab the 1 record a user wants.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) confused of creating an instance c#/xaml

  Hi, I have a good grasp of OOP from my Actionscript 2.0 background although I am very new to c# and xaml. I am somewhat confused that I have to create an instance of an object in c# when it already exists in xaml. For example; I create a Storyboard in xaml and call it myStoryboard. If I want to access and manipulate myStoryboard in c# I have to create a new instance of Storyboard before I can set it = to myStoryboard. Why do I have to do this if the instance already exists as it seems to me that I now have an instance of an instance Sorry for the nub question but I just can't seem to fully appreciate the 'why' of this process thank you Thanks again for the help. hopefully one final question: why do I not have to ...Show All
