• Software Development for Windows Vista Non blocked worflows do not resume after web service restart

  Hi, I'm using the default sql persistence service and manual scheduler and the generated web services for the workflow. If I restart the web service, the workflows that were executing are not restarted from their last persistence point. I can see the entries in the InstanceState table and the runtime picks them up using RetrieveNonblockingInstanceStateIds but then when they are scheduled to run nothing happens. For each workflow instance that should resume, the last lines I can see in the log are System.Workflow.Runtime.Hosting Information: 0 : WorkflowRuntime:ScheduleLoaded event raised for instance Id 454c0cf7-2117-4f29-bd3f-2d867118923e System.Workflow.Runtime Transfer: 0 : , relatedActivityId=454c0cf7-2117-4f29-bd3f-2d867118923e Syste ...Show All

• Visual C# Setting supportedRuntime property for IE programmatically

  Does anyone know to set the supportedRuntime property of the internet explorer programmatically, from my window form application. I want to do it elegantly, not to change the supportedRuntime element in the "internet exploreriexplorer.config.exe" file, but to do it through the IE api.

• Visual Studio Team System ClickOnce Version Number as Team Build number

  I want to create a Team Build that does a ClickOnce publish for my testers that creates a build number that includes the ClickOnce version number. We are showing the ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.CurrentVersion to the testers as part of the test application. When they enter bugs into TFS, we want them to be able to easily pick a build (on the Details tab of the Bug work item) that correlates to that ClickOnce version. If have several of the pieces to do this figured out: 1) Change SolutionToBuild to SolutionToPublish in the build proj file. 2) Override the BuildNumberOverrideTarget to create my custom build number. I could use some pointers on these questions: 1) If I want to append to the standard Team Build bu ...Show All

• Visual C# Last chance exception handler

  Hi, Just in case anything goes horribly wrong in my app, I was wanting to trap any unhandled exception. So I did this in Program.cs: // Last chance exception handler. try { Application .Run( new MainForm ()); } catch ( Exception ex) { ExceptionLogger .LogException(ex); } That works fine when I'm debugging (F5) in VS, but doesn't work when I double-click the .exe file, either debug or release mode. What am I missing here Thanks, Mike In that thread, look way down - you actually need to do three things to catch almost all exceptions: 1) wrap in the try...catch (like you did 2) Attach a handler to Application.ThreadException 3) Attach a h ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista dsnetwork problem

  I am having problems programming the dsnetwork interface in my application. Strange errors show up and its help on msdn is totally messed up. Firstly, I wanna ask about the IID_IMulticastConfig. Where is it defined. I have added the dsnetifc.h as well but to no use, I cant find the CLSID for it. I hope someone here has worked on DsNetwork. I really need help on it! I think I have zeroed down on the problem I am getting. The thing is I am using the VC6.0 compiler to compile my application. It already defines an OLD strmif.h that has no entry for the IMpeg2Demultiplexer interface. However even when I try to add the path to the include for the Platform SDK strmif.h, it does not work.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Quaternion Tutorial

  Could someone school me in using Quaternions in XNA I'd love to have a tutorial specfically for XNA. I read a tutorial that helped me to understand them a bit better, but still not sure how to plug it into the game. If you can believe it, the documentation doesn't explain it to well. I guess that won't make much sense if you don't know what a quaternion is. The mathmatical explanation is complex and I've stopped caring about it. If you remember complex numbers from high school, then I'll warn you beforehand that quaternions are much much wierder. A quaternion is a 4 dimensional number. Mind you, I mean a 4 dimensional number, not a vector of 4 elements. For comparison, a complex number is two dimensional. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Changing Form size at run-timeI

  When i change the size of my form at programmatically according to a selectedItem in my combobox. There's a little flicker on the form ... the form contains lots of usercontrol. It isn't smooth... How can i fix this I agree with Andreas totally, the more controls you have the more time it will take to draw them to the screen. Sometimes it also depends on the graphics card (going down low level) on how fast it can draw to the screen - not saying that this is the only problem - not at all, there are many problems to consider and what Andreas said is totally correct. As they say, there can be many solutions to 1 problem.   you may wish to add Application.DoEvents after you resize your form progra ...Show All
