• Software Development for Windows Vista Filter the sqltrackingquery by ActivityName / ActivityType

  Hi, Is there any way to filter activitytrackingrecords by Activity Name or the type of Activity in sqltrackingquery e.g I want to get the list of activitytrackingrecords of all code actities of workflow Instance 'x' Thanks I am not sure you can write such a SQL Query but you can surely write your own custom tracking profile which can help you have more control f what is being tracked. THere you can specify what exactly you need to track. Take a look here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742042.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742184.aspx Thanks, Kushal. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Using Adobe ActiveX control

  I have placed an ActiveX PDF control (the Adobe Reader OCX) on a .Net Windows form and set the .src property to the location of a PDF file on the internet. The control displays this file just fine when the application is run. However, when I add a button to change the src file (to be displayed) with a single line of code in the button click event as shown below: AxPdf1.src = "http://www.somewebsite.com/somefile.pdf" ....I get the following error: AccessViolationException was unhandled: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is here Also, I want to be able to print the PDF file programatically without any user intervention ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) is SoapAction really used in WCF routing ???

  I'm confused. I just read the new whitepaper: "ASP.NET Web Services and the Windows Communication Foundation". In it the author says WCF uses soapaction to route messages, so advises not to use the attributes available today in ASMX to route by message body element. My question is, isn't SOAPACTION obsolete in soap 1.2 The SoapAction requirement makes it really hard to build something like a pub-sub system when you have to have SoapAction header matching the namespace of the subscribers service. Am I missing something Ah, that is a different question, and the answer is "no." That option was an idiosyncracy of ASP.NET Web Services, which is why it is not being carried forward to the Win ...Show All

• .NET Development How to check if an xml schema type is already present in an XmlSchemaSet?

  When building a schema (set) of a class hierarchy set, using the XmlSchemaProvider attribute, how do I check if a type is already present in the XmlSchemaSet Some classes will end up being shared by different parent classes, so then the schema would appear more than once in the XmlSchemaSet, which gives problems, because it can be defined only once. How do I check if the type is already in there Wout Hi Elena, Thanks for your answer, I think I'm starting to feel the pattern that should be used, I was on the wrong path, I was asking child classes to add their schema to the same schema set, and then I ran into those issues. So the pattern for referencing child schema's would be always using the XmlReflecti ...Show All
