• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflows on .Net Framework 2 vs .Net Framework 3

  We are looking into doing Workflows with a MOSS 2007 implementation. I have read a bit and downloaded the Beta 2.2 components and the VS 2005 Extensions for developing these. My question is how does this all fit in with the new Workflow stuff coming out in the .Net Framework 3 (aka WinFX) I read that this will run on Windows XP, Server 2003 along with it packaged with Windows Vista but I am very confused. Are these Beta 2.2 versions early versions of the new stuff coming out but built to run on the .Net 2 framework currently or will there be a real release for the 2 framework and the New Vista stuff come out later running on the .Net 3 framework What are the go live options for these (I think I saw something on this I will check) bu ...Show All

• SQL Server SQLDependency Disconnects for Web application

  Hi, On my ASP.NET 2.0 application and SQL 2005 database server, i am using SQLDependency API to recieve notifications on the dataset changes from SQL 2005 server. I get the notification sucessfully (irrelevant of number of attempts). So here's the problem, i wait for 3-4 mins and make sure that there is no activity on my web server. Now if the data changes the service broker fires the event (i validated through trace). But the notification is never received by my web application. It gets lost in between. I read about this 'Abrupt client disconnects' problem in the article http://blogs.msdn.com/remusrusanu/archive/2006/06/17/635608.aspx but this didn't help much. Also i sometimes see following messages in the profiler <qnev:QNEv ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Recommendations on approach with current 2003 VS Projects with Team System

  We are going to be moving to VS 2005 with Team System. My question is whether it is recommended to attempt to move current VS 2003 projects that are in various stages to Team System and try to modify them to use all the new features of Team System (e.g. templates, tasks, etc...) or only use the full functionality of Team System on new projects and just use the source repository features of Team System on current projects. I'm new to Team System so I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question. Any advice or considerations would be appreciated. Thanks. Team System comes with many tools to simplify development, testing and management of project in general (project lifecycle tools) and it is not directly r ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista COM Component Development with ATL

  In recent work, I found some COM components written in ATL cannot run correctly on Windows Vista. Some members of ATL classes which can be successfully called on Window XP return error code on Windows Vista platform. For example, the failure of calling CAtlServiceModuleT.ParseCommandLine() result in unable to register Windows system service. My platform is Windows Vista RC1 build 5483, Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition and Windows SDK Beta 2 build 5483.1.1 (achieved from http://blogs.msdn.com/tomarcher ). I wonder whether ATL is supported in the new platform. If so, what is needed library and how to configure the IDE. If not, is there any other technology to replace ATL I tried to implement an out of process server using ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions deleting a dataset

  I have a pretty simple question, but I CANNOT figure it out for the life of me. All I need to do is delete some of my datasets that I am not using but I cant. I can delete the table under the dataset, but not the dataset itself. Is it possible Please let me know. Thank you yah, I figured that that is what to do. But I didnt know if I needed to delete the xsd from the project explorer. I thought you could just delete the dataset in the datasources explorer. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Hang Up Loading Project

  I have a project containing about 3200 objects under TFS source control. When I load the project DataPro often (but not always) hangs. The message at the bottom left of the Status bar says "Validating Identified Objects". According to Task Manager, neither the 'devenv.exe' or sqlservr.exe' processes show any CPU activity. It was hung for at least 1/2 hour before I shut everything down. Amos. ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlAttributeOverrides and renaming elements

  Hi, I'm using xml serialization to create an xml file, however I need to change some of the names of the xml elements that will be generated (actually I only need to make them all uppercase, don't ask!). I can't change the class that is to be serialized as it has been autogenerated, using xsd.exe, from an xsd I also cannot change. XmlAttributeOverrides appears to be the answer and I have changed most of the elements, however, there are a few elements that I'm having trouble changing. I would love to post some of my own code here but I'm struggling to condense it into something manageable, so I'd like to use the example on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.serialization.xmlarrayattribute.aspx . In this example I c ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Camera turn / pitch

  I'm trying to move where my camera is pointing at. I read somewhere that you have to do: device.Transform.View *= Matrix .RotationY(angle); But, that only seems to orbit the camera target -- do I have to use LookAtLH or something to move the camera target around Ah, I figured it out... My projection matrix was all wrong; using the following code, the view rotation is now applied to the camera target. device.Transform.Projection = Matrix .PerspectiveFovLH(( float ) Math .PI / 4, this .Width / this .Height, 1f, 20000f); It's probably not neccecary to have such a massive farplane, but my meshes are quite large. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Does anyone know how to link bugs in VS2005 to MS Projects?

  It seems that "tasks" are linked to MS project but "bugs" are not. What the trick Thanks! You can customize work item type definition for bugs to include fields for remaining work, completed work, start date, and finish date that are referenced in the WIT Task. Once you do that you should be able to track time estimates for bugs in project assuming that you have these fields mapped in the project for tasks (otherwise you will have to update the field mapping). Hope it helps! -Mohammad ...Show All
