• Software Development for Windows Vista WS-Addressing and Workflows

  Hello, I'm testing a few workflow engines and one of the requirements is support for WS-Addressing. (The workflows call Web Services running on Java applications servers.) I've read that Windows Workflow Foundation does support WS-Addressing but I haven't been able to find any examples or tutorials for it. Could anyone tell me if Windows Workflow Foundation supports WS-Addressing and if there is a good example or tutorial for it I'm trying to find a solution and to write an activity for it myself so I can add it to a workflow but I don't know where to look to tell the Web Service what it's new EndpointAddress will be. I've also read about Windows Communication Foundation and WS-Addressing but I'm not sure if I need WCF.   ...Show All

• Visual C++ Unexpected operator function call.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Tracking Query returns null

  I have update the Workflow Foundation from the Beta 2.2 to the RC1. In the RC1 there is no "SharedConnectionWorkflowService" anymore. It is called "SharedConnectionWorkflowCommitBatchService" now. So I changed that. Since that I get an error in following code statements: SqlTrackingQuery sqlTrackingQuery = new SqlTrackingQuery (ConnectionStringWorkflowService); SqlTrackingWorkflowInstance sqlTrackingInstance; sqlTrackingQuery.TryGetWorkflow(e.WorkflowInstance.InstanceId, out sqlTrackingInstance); The method "TryGetWorkflow" doesnt populate the SqlTrackingInstance. It is being null. Before changing the Shared Connection Service it worked. Any suggestions, where the problem may be Thanks ...Show All

• Windows Forms Boundfields in GridView are empty during RowUpdating, except read-only field, why?

  I am binding several boundfields to GridView at run time, one of them is readonly field. I set AutoGenerateColumn to false, AutoGenerateEditButton to true. foreach ( DataColumn dataColumn in (( DataTable )Session[ "dataTable" ]).Columns) { BoundField boundField = new BoundField (); boundField.DataField = dataColumn.ToString(); boundField.HeaderText = dataColumn.ToString(); if (boundField.DataField == "ID" ){boundField.ReadOnly = true ; } GridView1.Columns.Add(boundField);} GridView1.DataBind(); During RowEditing, I can see all cell values (GridView1.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[columnIndex+1 ].Text), but during RowUpdating, I can only see value for the readonly field (If I set all columns ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Tiling a texture?

  Hey, I have a 3d terrain system. The terrain is built using a heightmap image. Then I have a large texture that I paste over the top, this covers the complete terrain. I'd like to be able to dispose of the one large terrain texture image and use tiling and different layers for different tiles. (Texture splattering, I think this is called). However, for now I'll be happy with just tiling my grass texture over the top of my terrain instead of it automatically scaling. Can anyone point me in the right direction to repeat and tile my texture rather than stretch to fit Thanks Ah, ok, thats very strange its as if your AddressU and AddressV states are set to Clamp, but I can clearly see you have ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XBox 360: Detect widescreen vs 4:3?

  Right now it looks like our games pretty much dictate their size and whether they're windows or full-screen. But, obviously, once we get to the 360 the choice of windows vs full-screen will be gone. And I get the impression that if we code for 720p that the 360 will automatically downscale if needed. But I still don't know how we're going to detect whether the output is headed for widescreen or 4:3. If we make the choice to program for widescreen only will the 360 letterbox for us, or will it just get squished or truncated   Matt Stum wrote: While it might downscale to 480 or upscale to 1080, I don't think it'll do any auto magic to translate aspect ratio.

• .NET Development Accented Characters

  Hi, I have a question for accented characters. For example, when I am doing regular expression match, how can I match "A" against all accented characters "AAAAaaaaaaa" I have tried all possible options in RegexOption enum, but nothing works so far. I know in SQL Server full-text search you can setup accent insensitive, so I guess I can do the same thing .NET. Could someone please tell me how. Thanks, Ning Hello Ning, unfortunately, there is no support for canonical equivalence in .NET (yet).
