• Software Development for Windows Vista When does workflow instance released?

  Hi,   I wrote simple sequential workflow. The application sequence is very simple: 1. WebService gets a call and instantiates a processing object (that gathers parameters) 2. Processing object executes the workflow with parameters.   Now the problem: I noticed that corresponding process (w3wp.exe) memory grows and hardly goes down (if at all) till the application pool's "idle timeout" reached and the process is shut down. I assume that workflow instances stay in memory and that's a reason why process' memory doesn't go down. Here is a only configuration I have in web.config regarding the workflow:  <WorkflowRuntime Name="WorkflowServiceContainer">   <Services>   & ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista A Bug in SDK. Or not?

  All, I have a simple workflow which creates orders based on an order message from other system. Sometime, I also receive "Update" order message and this time instead of creating new instance I need to update the existing instance of the workflow. When I create new instance I put some data value like "OrderID" into tracking database using custom tracking profile. I can see record being inserted into "TrackingDataItems" but when i try to use "GetWorkFlows" call, in case of update to get the instanceID to update the value, I dont get any of the instances. I dug deep and found that GetWorkFlows stored proc is being called from SDK and in this stored procedure it is looking for EventTypeID = ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Alpha Blending (deferred)?

  Is there a way using the sprite batch object that you can render several rectangles, but when alpha blended, it looks like the entire object was rendered first as a single opaque image, and then that image was alpha blended, such that you would never have known it was several smaller pieces assembling the final object Instead of normally seeing each rectangle blended as it overlays another rectangle. That totally depends on how many such targets you are likely to have, and also how fast your graphics card is. For what it's worth, the composited translucency effects in Windows Vista seem to keep up quite nicely as long as you have a decent graphics card, but generally need to be turned off on older/ ...Show All

• Visual C# Create a library of Tools and standard forms like in Visual Foxpro

  Hi Y'all I came from Visual Foxpro 9.0, in it i can create standard forms. These forms already contains code for saving data, closing the window standard headings and pictures. since I am now developing for C# (Coolest, Sharpest PL i've handled) in visual foxpro you can save this forms in a library file and you can actually add it to your toolbox. So in design time all you have to do is to click and drag from the toolbox your form. Is there a similar functionality in C#. I tried once copying one form to another filename, guess what when I edited a form all of the references still points to the name of the old form. :-) By the way some tip on visual foxpro programmer, there is a way to call all of the functions of visual foxpro and als ...Show All
