• Software Development for Windows Vista how to restart workflow runtime after IIS restart

  My question is for workflow exposed as web service through webserviceinputactivty/webserviceoutputactivity. My impression is that workflow runtime is only started after the first web service call. My test workflow has 3 activities: webserviceinput, webserviceoutput, delay. SqlPersistence service is enabled. The workflow is activitied through a web call. When executing the delay activity, it's persisted to the database. Then I shut down the web server (ASP .NET development server). When the web server restarted, the timer already expired but the workflow was not resumed. Only after I made another call to the web service, the timer fired. I did an experiment in a winform application. When the application starts next time, the timer fir ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Performance profiler and obfuscator

  I have two software questions. First of all does anyone know a good performance profiler package (besides CLR) Secondly, what is the best way to secure your intellectual property, by using an obfuscator or are there alternatives. What are the thoughts of Microsoft on this part. Cheers! On the flip side, what are some good ways to make sure someone DOES break into your car You leave the windows down, doors unlocked, and post a sign on the hood that says "I don't have a car alarm, take whatever you want". Of course, none of us do that, which is precisely the reason why we don't worry about our cars being broken into. If you're worried about people taking your work (which sounds like the case here), you owe i ...Show All
