• Visual C++ GetActivePane no longer works in VC++ 2005

  I used the CSplitterWnd::GetActivePane(int&, int&) function and it worked fine with VC++ 6.0. Recently I started the process of moving the code to the new VC++ 2005. Under VC++ 2005, the code compiled OK but it does not run because the GetActivePane function is somehow made obsolete (see afxext.inl). Any idea why So how do I get this function back or any ways to get around of this problem Thanks Ted I think new function requires pointers instead of references: GetActivePane( & x, & y) . So it seems you have to add " & ". ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Setting the CorrelationToken

  My ExternalDataExchange service has "instanceId" as the CorrelationParameter, "Start(instanceId)" method as the CorrelationInitializer, and a ResponseReceived event with event args including InstanceId as the CorrelationAlias. (A very common scenario). If I am using a CallExternalMethod activity to initialize the correlation and the correlation parameter is passed in on the method call, why does the designer/compiler insist that I supply a value for CorrelationToken on the activity Am I correct in assuming that the CorrelationToken and CorrelationParameter are synonymous Or do they have different purposes The reason I ask is that the event delivery is failing and I cannot figure out why. I have verified that the ...Show All

• Windows Forms GAC, Registering .NET DLL's using REGASM

  Hi, Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum, as I don't have a much experience in this area. I have a question regarding a possible product we may carry, and was wondering if anyone could shed some light on something. Is it standard to create a .NET DLL that requires registration via regasm.exe I was under the impression that regasm.exe was intended for unmanaged COM dll's, and that if I would like to create a .NET DLL, then the only way to do so, is to create an assembly key file and associate it with my assembly and recompile the DLL. I guess my next confusion is how does the msi installer, which installs the DLL, know to register the DLL in the GAC You are possible confusing Regasm.exe with Gacutil.exe. Regasm.exe is only ...Show All

• Visual Basic WebBrowser Refreshing Problem

  I've got a WebBrowser control in my current program that, every minute and a half, loads a web page and parses some string information out of it. The problem is, after running for a while, it stops reloading the page; everytime it 'loads' the page, it loads the exact same contact the page had the last time it was loaded, although the actual page content has changed. Viewing the page in IE outside the program, I can see visually that the site really has changed; but the program continues only to see an older version of the page. Why is this happening, and how can it be fixed Note: the problem persists when I log on/off the computer, and when I restart the computer entirely. It doesn't happen for all pages being dealt with in thi ...Show All

  Hi, I am trying to convert from VB6 to VB.Net. I have hit a problem with a grid; I used MSFlexgrid and MSHFlexgrid in conjunction with a textbox in VB6 but cannot find a replacement in VB.Net.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Activity binding to a dynamic property.

  I have seen custom activity examples where dynamic properties can bind to dependancy properties on other activities. Is there any way to create dynamic properties of potentially different types which will show up in the activity reference dialog and can be bound to from other activities If not what alternative might be available The dialog that allows you to bind dependency properties to other properties requires the target to be assignable from the source. If you have a custom activity that has property Foo that is typeof(Bar) when you launch the dialog to set the property you will only be able to select a variable of the workflow or property on another activity that IsAssignableFrom(Bar).
