• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) "Exception of type 'System.Data.DLinq.CycleDetectionException' was thrown."

  hi all, i'm trying to persist a doubly linked list to my database, i have some test code that creates a list of 'timeslots' where each timeslot contains pointers to the previous and next in the sequence. the test code is effectively a for loop that creates 5 or so timeslots, with each successive one setting its 'previous' to the previously created timeslot and so on .... (I'm sure you get the idea). all looks fine in the debugger visualiser and integrity seems to be correct, when i call table.add(Timeslot) I get the following: "Exception of type 'System.Data.DLinq.CycleDetectionException' was thrown." can anyone confirm that the cycledetectionexception really is detecting a circular reference somewhere (I'm assumi ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA Supports Normal Xbox?

  I am semi-new to these forums, I have posted here before, but I was just wondering if the XNA Framework supports the Original Xbox. I mean, I probably will only use XNA to develop for Windows, but I was just wondering if it would work with a normal xbox and not just an Xbox 360. Thanks everyone! ...Show All

• Windows Forms Popup Panel on custom control does not appear

  I have a VB.Net 2.0 custom control which allows me to pick a date and a 24 hour time. The control consists of a standard DateTimePicker to select the date and for the 24 hour time a textbox (txtHours) to display the selected hour, a label (lblSelectHours) which consists of an image of the standard dropdown icon and a Panel object. When the user clicks on the dropdown label the Panel, containing one button for each of the 24 hours in a day, should pop up. However, the panel is nowhere to be seen even though I know the label's Click event is firing. I am pretty puzzled about this as the popup panel for the standard DateTimePicker in the control appears perfectly. The Panel object is defined in the control as being off the main area being dis ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro can't find object after compiling

  After I create an error free form and build an Application for testing, I find that I get an error - Object "appt" is not found- (error 1923). This occurs when calling ths form from a complied menu pull down, with the code "Do form c:\apptbook\forms\appt.scx in it. This occurs when I exercise some code in a combo box like " appt.combo4.value". I don't get it, because I can run the same form with a command - Do form C:/apptbook/forms/appt.scx in the command window and all works fine. Regards...Al That's because IDE is not one to one match with runtime. In IDE whenever you run a form a public variable with the same name of scx is created. So you can refer to it as appt. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista CorrelationManager.ActivityId changes when in a method under Workflow

  I am having an issue with the CorrelationManager.ActivityId changing on me when I am running inside of Workflow. I understand that the CorrelationManager utilizes the CallContext to store its state, but I can't figure out why the ActivityId is a different guid when running under Workflow. In fact, the ActivityID is set to the WorkflowInstanceId. Within my workflow method I can do a CallContext.LogicalGetData("System.Diagnostics.Trace.CorrelationManagerSlot").Peek and get out the stack in the same position I expect but if I do a CallContext.GetData("E2ETrace.ActivityID").ToString or (Trace.CorrelationManager.ActivityID same thing) I get the WorkflowInstanceId.

How can I make update version for application signed with old certificate I can verify that this is a problem with Verisign certificates too. I just renewed mine, updated my software, and found out it will no longer work unless I uninstall the old version first and then install my new version.
