• Software Development for Windows Vista How to debug a XOML-Only Workflow?

  Hi, is it possible to debug a dynamically loaded workflow (XOML-Only) Did somebody done it Thanks Thank you SonaliC for the advice. I tried it out and the problem I encounter is that the "wrong" .xoml window pop's up. I think the reason might be the way I implemented the dynamic loading: I didn't used compilation for this purpose but rather I "inherited" from an empty workflow and loaded at runtime my .xoml instance (mean no x:Class property). So the loaded .xoml window is the one of the "base" workflow and not of the instance. Does anybody know how to handle this case Thank you! ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Custom Pane-like UI in Excel 2000 onwards

  Hi, We've a very specific requirement in our project to implement the Custom Pane like interface using Excel AddIn from Excel 2000 onwards. Basically, the pane should be part of overall Excel window and the pane will invoke context-sensitive HTML pages in Browser control based on user actions in Excel Workbook. User should be able to expand or contract the pane sideways. Does anybody have any ideas as to how to implement such interface The VBA Forms or VB/COM AddIn Forms are of no use, as they don't provide the same look and feel as a custom pane does. Also docking is not possible for VBA forms. Any help on this issue is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Vsakhal. Such a discussio ...Show All

  Hello Forum, Here is something I have been struggling for very long now. I have got a Windows Application which talks to a HTTPS web service. When I run my Windows application in Debug mode, it gives me an error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Authorization Required."

• SQL Server RAISERROR in CLR Routines

  When I use the following code to execute a RAISERROR from within a CLR Routine (Stored Procedure), and I call this CLR stored procedure from T-SQL within a TRY/CATCH block, the error is not caught in the CATCH block. Why is this happening try { SqlContext .Pipe.ExecuteAndSend(cmd); } catch { } I have noticed that if I throw the exception out of the CLR routine, then the T-SQL stored procedure begin catch .. end catch does catch it. But of course, there is a lot of .NET information sent back with it, so the error message is quite messy. ...Show All
