• Software Development for Windows Vista How to optionally set an output parameter in xaml

This seems simple enough with a simple workflow: <DT:MySequentialWorkflowActivity Response="{ActivityBind Name=child, Path=Message}" ...> <MyChildActivity x:Name="child" Message="This was read from a child" /> </DT:MySequentialWorkflowActivity > But how do I optionally bind to different activities For example if I used an ifElse activity how can I push a property from an Activity within the branch that executed into the output parameter: <DT:MySequentialWorkflowActivity Response="{ }" ...> <IfElseActivity x:Name="ifElseActivity1"> <IfElseBranchActivity x:Name ...Show All

• Visual C++ This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect

  Re: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect I have built a small console application (the .exe is 17k) that I created in Visual C++ 2005 Express. I want to share it with 10-20 users working on XP platforms. It processes data using file i/o, thats all. However, I have found that on some machines it does not execute. I get the error message in the subject above. I figured out using Dependency Walker ( www.dependencywalker.com ) that my application requires the following: KERNEL32.DLL MSVCP80.DLL MSVCR80.DLL MSVCRT.DLL NTDLL.DLL The machine that my application did not execute on was missing MSVCP80.DLL and MSVCR ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ2SQL Cast Exception on Average Aggregate only after I add an OrderBy on a Joined table

  Hi, I am having an issue with the Avergage operator. I am joining two tables, and projecting some aggregates in the result. As soon as I join to another table, it fails. Average equates nicely in the un-joined example, but fails in the join. I thought I'd bring it up in case i'm doing something silly, but the query does seem reasonable. Let me know if you need more information. This works: var q = from call in db. CallLog where call.Incoming == true group call by call.Number into g select new { Avg = g.Average( c => c.Duration ) }; foreach ( var call in q) Console .WriteLine(call.Avg); SELECT [t1].[value] AS [Avg] FROM ( SELECT AVG([t0].[Duration]) AS [value] FROM [Call ...Show All

• SQL Server ReportViewer (WinFprms) View Reoprt button

  I'm using the ReportViewer winforms control. It works great except for one annoying issue. The "View report" button shown to the right of the parameters for the report is rendered too far to the right. So when my application is running in 1024*768, the button is rendered outside the visible area. It doesn't seem to make any difference if I have one or several parameters, the problem remains. Is there any way of controlling the renderingposition of that button Regards Andreas Thank you for your answer Teo (even though it wasn't the answer I wanted to hear) =/ Sounds like something to improve until the next release of the ReportViewer control, or ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. .X features supported in XNA?

  Hi, I'm currently working on a .x exporter for XSI with shader support. However I have some questions regarding exactly what features are supported in XNA. Setting the technique in the .x file does not seem to work: EffectParamDWord { "technique"; 3; } XNA always renders using the first technique in the shader, unless you manually set it with Effect.CurrentTechnique :( Also what part and version of DXSAS is supported It would be nice if semantics used in e.g. FxComposer just worked with XNA, e.g things like: float4x4 WorldIT : WorldInverseTranspose; float4x4 WorldViewProj : WorldViewProjection; float4x4 World : World ; float4x4 ViewI : ViewInverse ; Or do you have to manually parse all effect param ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro How to copy one column to another

  Hi all, I would like to copy a column that has prices (fprice) for parts in it to another column within the same table.  Then I am going to do a replace on the original column (fprice) to increase the price by a fixed amount (I know how to do that).  The table has a column that is not used for anything (by us) within the application.  It is a User Character 3 field (fcusrchr3).  I need to do this so our CFO can look back at the old pricing if need be.  Any help copying the column would be greatly appreciated.  FYI, this is in Visual Foxpro 6. Thanks, Erik FYI scope clause "ALL" that is found in many commands like replace,delete etc are an easy way ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions DVD player

  is it possiable to make DVD software to play movies , like the software you can buy...Like intervideo and programs like that . not exactly. in order to use your software created in .NET 2.0, the other computers also need to have .NET Framework 2.0 to run your software, without it it will not run you would need to create your own filters/parsers/codecs to play DVD files which may not be possible in .NET 2.0 (but dont quote me) to play the DVD. You can however embed a WMP Control in your application and use that to play your DVD/audio files but in terms of redistributing it you would need to contact Microsoft for the licensing portion about it. Another way would be to use perhaps some 3rd p ...Show All
