• Software Development for Windows Vista Migrating persisted workflows to a new assembly version

  There are numerous issues when a workflow with persisted instances changes (i.e. bug fixes, introducing new activities). Is there tool around or announced which will automate the process of migrating persisted instanced to a new version Or do you people think that there is no need for such a tool Urs I think there would be a use in this tool. Or at least a use in the answers provided for those questions (persisted instances change due to new or changed activities).

• Visual Studio Team System Problem checking solution into TFS - Unspec error in csolutionconnection.cpp

• Visual Studio Express Editions App to App communication. For CharlieRussell

  So as not to clutter up the old thread with this completely new and different code. It is posted separately. The following code will send text between VB apps. It does not need the 'sleep' timeout, nor does it need the clumsy clipboard stuff. It can easily be modified to send in both directions. For easy testing. I am including the Form1.Designer.vb (IDE generated stuff,) for both the SEND and RECEIVE program.

• Windows Forms ntdll.dll Issue

  Problem: IE crashes while surfing certain web sites, citing ntdll.dll as the problem child. Research indicates that it's due to stack overflow on ActiveX controls that some web sites use. Articles indicate the issue was fixed in previous patches but has rebroken in more recent upgrades. Article 836506 says there is a fix available, but you have to contact Microsoft at $99.00 per instance in order to find out what that fix actually is. Anyone have any solutions a guy could try Setup: Windows 2000, SP4 Troubleshooting steps to date: SP4 patch rollup & reapply SP4. Current version of ntdll.dll is more recent than the version indicated in the article referenced above. My research indicates turning ...Show All

• Visual C++ MFC set cursor question

  I am trying to set a cursor that I have created in my MFC application. I have managed to set the icon with this line: m_pMainWnd->SetIcon(::LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_QUESTION), true); However, mainWnd does not have a setCursor function. So I thought I'd have to go to my view class, but, that doesn't have a setCursor (or a load Cursor) function. I found this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=162844&SiteID=1 I tried to do what he said in the view class, but it didn't work. It would not load the cursor.

• Visual Studio How does msbuild determine whether a project should be built?

  I'm trying to figure out what msbuild does exactly to figure out whether a project should be built or not, because it seems that projects that haven't changed, are not built. Does it use the obj directory or the compiled assemblies in any way Do any of you know how to determine whether a given file needs to be built using the extensibility model (without compiling first). I've been searching high and low for this info and am starting to think it can't be done using conventional means. If anyone can shed some light on the situation it would be greately appreciated. Thanks very much. ...Show All

• SQL Server SSIS Randomly Empties Out Column Data While Using Flat File Source

  I'm having a problem using the Flat File Source while using the underlying .Net classes to execute SSIS Packages. The issue is that for some reason when I load a flat file it Empty's out columns randomly. Its happening in the Flat File Source Task. By random I mean that most of the times all the data gets loaded but sometimes it doesnt and it empty's out column data. Interestingly enough this is random and even the emptying out of columns isnt a complete empty, its more like a 90% emtpying. Now you'll ask that is the file different everytime and the answer is NO. Its the same file everytime. If I run the same file everytime for 10 times it would empty out various columns maybe 1 of those times. This doesnt seem to be a problem while workin ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Merge Conflicts for Identical Files ..

  When merging between two branches, TFVC displays merge conflicts ("The source and target both have changes") even when the file contents are identical. This probably results from the fact that the changeset numbers are different between the two files. Similar "false" warning show up in massive numbers (for large projects) during a baseless merge (probably due to changeset number difference as well). Is there a way from the IDE or command line to ignore these "false" warnings If not, is it possible to write a program using the object model to obtain a list of files which have "true" changes, and only manually merge those file The identical files could be merged with "AcceptTheirs" option, ...Show All
