• Software Development for Windows Vista CallExternalMethod in Code-Only and Code-Beside Workflows

  I have created two identical workflows that use a CallExternalMethod activity. I'm using .NET 3.0. One workflow is code-only and the other is code-beside. When I configure the CallExternalMethod activity, I see that the Data field in the Properties pane works differently for the two workflows. On the code-only workflow I can specify a member of my workflow class as the data to be passed. I see "Name" and "Path" sub-fields in the Properties pane. On the code-beside workflow I cannot seem to specify a member of my workflow class as the Data to be sent. Also, I do not see the Name and Path sub-fields in the Properties pane. I have checked the help and searched the forums and I can't find any documentation fo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Visual Studio Deployment Question

  Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place but there is no separate "Visual Studio Deployment" forum. Anyway, I was wondering if the "standard" edition of Visual Studio comes with full MSI deployment capabilities. The Visual Studio 2005 Product Line Overview says "yes" next to deployment tools, but when reading reviews of the differences between standard and pro everyone says standard only comes with ClickOnce. Can anyone confirm that the standard Visual Studio comes will the full deployment tools and not just ClickOnce Thanks a bunch, Daniel Yup, Setup projects for building .MSI's are in the Standard SKU. I think marketing got some wires crossed, but I just checked our build s ...Show All

• .NET Development Getting a clicked button to be 'clicked' in all opened windows

  Hello, I work now on a program and I just can't find anywhere how I can make it work. What I'm trying to do is: When I strike a button on the keyboard, in one focused window, it should be applied also to all the other opened windows as well. What can I do, do you know someone that did it already (a freeware/shareware) or maybe you know how to do that (even if it doesnt works perfectly, I'd like to see your way of thinking) Please send your solution to arcadyt@hotmail.com or write it here. Thank you very much, Arcady I don't know if I understood you correct: You want, if you press a key, notify all windows that the key was pressed If this is your question I can possibly help you. I have wanted that feature too. M ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Looking for suggestions on protecting game assets

  In my development I typically purchase royalty free content for meshes, music, etc. Although the content is royalty free I am bound by the terms of use to protect the content from re-use by others through reasonable means. In developing C++ based games for Windows I typically encrypt the data on the CD or in the distro and decrypt at load-time. My question here is, do you have any suggestions on how to protect content and still use the content pipeline and the XNA C# based game studio You can derive your own content manager from ContentManager and override the OpenStream method. This would allow you to provide a decrypting stream as the input source. You would also need a custom content processor on the build side to do the encryptio ...Show All

• Smart Device Development SIP icon location

  Hello, on new WM5 devices, the SIP icon appears to be a bit more clever than before. If an old application is executed, it will appear in the bottom right corner of the screen. On other occasions it will appear in the bottom centre of the menu. This behaviour might produce decent results for most cases, but causes troubles in an application that i am assigned to. Does anybody know if there is a way to configures the SIP icon to show up in the bottom right corner of the screen I do not want to move the MS_SIPBUTTON window by force, but a more decent API that configures the SIP control to show up the old way. Thanks in advance, Peter Vrenken If you add at least three menuitems when you design the form, the SIP is positioned at the bot ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Information card "reset"

  I'm preparing to enable pluralsight.com to accept InfoCards, and as I do, some practical issues are coming to the surface. Here's the first :) For the multitude of websites who will accept self-issued cards, we need to consider up front what's going to happen when one of our users' machines gets trashed and they lose those their self-issued card. Even if you're a website whose security bar is so low that you can simply email the user her password, that's not going to work with an information card! Regardless of the secondary authn mechanism you're considering (if any), I'm curious to know how you're thinking of exposing this "information card reset" feature to the user. It might be a good idea to have a relatively standard way of ...Show All
