• Software Development for Windows Vista Missing Persistence Schema RC2

  I have installed the most recent release canidate for windows workflow. I went to add the default persistence service to my workflow and discovered that the schema files do not exist on my computer (in fact in the C:\WINDOWS\WinFX\v3.0 directory, there are only two folders WinFX Runtime Components 3.0 - Beta 2 and WPF and both are empty). I have installed the RC on 3 machines, and all three are the same, so I don't feel reinstalling will fix the problem. I have tried the installer that came with the labs (in C:\Windows Workflow Foundation\Labs\SQL_Scripts\Lab03 I ran CreateDatabaseObjects.cmd) and the installer did not work. I got "0sql is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." Does an ...Show All

• SQL Server Deploying to subfolders from VS

  I've got a report project with a few reports in I want in the root target directory. I also want to create several folders and put reports in those. The problem is I don't see any way to create a report folder in VS. I also don't see any way to pick the deployment path of a single reprot in VS. This makes me think I'll have to create a different Report Project in VS for each folder!! (this sucks). Does anyone have an idea or suggestion here Well, if you have any linked reports with landscape orientation, they will, more than likely, insist on printing portrait. Just something to consider.

  I have a good working dsl model with one minor problems. My swimlane is extending the whole window, where as i want to reduce its width.I changed default width, default height of swimlane shape, but that did not had any effect. Any ideas thanks You can override the BoundRules property and create your custom BoundRules class for that swimlane then, you should override the GetCompliantBounds method in the custom BoundRule class and return the Rectangle with the size that you need. like this... public partial class MySwimLane { public override BoundsRules BoundsRules { get { return new MySwimLaneBoundrules(); } } } public class MySwimLaneBoundRules { public override Rectangl ...Show All

• SQL Server Creating Simple Report using Reporting Services SP2 and SharePoint 2007 Integration

  I've been running around in circles all afternoon trying to create one simple report using Reporting Services (with latest SP2 installed) and SharePoint 2007. To the best of my knowledge, I have everything configured correctly: When I access http://<server>/ReportServer , I see the server name of my SharePoint site. When I click on the name of my SharePoint site, it shows me the directory structure I have created within my SharePoint Site When I drill down in the directory, I can ultimately see the forms I created in my forms library (created via InfoPath 2007). The next step is to create one simple report from the data in one of these forms libraries and a report on all the items within a form library. I'm stuck at th ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Multi threading in a game (using XNA)

  Hello. I am able to create thread and make them exchange information through common objects they know (server / each other reference) Now I would like 2 threads to update a server. Each of those threads takes for inputs a keyboard for one, a mouse for the other one. However, it seems that the thread that listens on the keyboard do not detect events from it. Seems like it is the parent thread that is able to listen to a keyboard event and only that parent thread. How would you do so that a children thread is master over a device even if it does not have the focus Regards, Chryso Maybe not the most helpful response but why dont you just ignore all the hassle of multi threading and not use it I mean multithr ...Show All
