• Software Development for Windows Vista Getting information about a workflow instance

  I am building an Workflow-based application that will contain a "Task List" to inform users when a workflow instance is waiting for their input. I would like to populate this Task List by examining the loaded workflows and determining which are waiting for input from the current user (based upon Role membership). In the WinSDK Samples, the OrderingStateMachine demonstrates how to use WorkflowInstance.GetWorkflowQueueData() to get the list of event messages that the current workflow state can handle. How would I add the following functionality When the workflow is in the "OrderProcessed" state, the order will be assigned to a specific shipping group based on the order's destination, and only the members of that ...Show All

• SQL Server Reporting Services and Excel interoperability

  Dear friends I am using SQL Server 2000 reporting services. But my customer does not like the output reports He just want to his reports look like Excel 2007 output format or a third party tool Crystal Xcelsius Designer output format. I am deploying the reports to a Share Point Server. How can make dynamic reports that he like to see with/without using Excel 2007 or a third party tool. Thanks OZ Reporting Services strives to mimic the layout of the report in the Excel export. This means that it tries to attach report items to cells on the Excel sheet, and to do this accurately with the positions of objects appropriate to each other it has to create merge cells, which can cause problems when trying to manipulate the output from Excel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Book for MSF For CMMI? Templates / Process Guidance / AdventureWorks templates

  Hi it seams that a book for MSF for Agile Software development is underway (looking forward to it - Randy couldn't you put the sample chapters online somewhere ) Is anyone writing a book for MSF for CMMI Our company would like to use it since we are working with a CMMI Level 5 certified company.

• Visual C# How to get mem-size of a structure?

  Is there a way to get the memory size used by a structure (say a 2-dimensional array of type String) I need to compare implementations mem-wise, but I can't find what I need to know. I hope this isn't a too dumb question :x I am representing a polygonal 2D structure (mapped onto a grid) into memory. I have 2 ways of doing it: 1) represent all grid points in a 2-dimensional matrix and if there is a line from point grid point 1 to grid point 2; make the value of the matrix > 0 (this is indicating a line-type) 2) represent the structure as an array of lines (so an array of {x,y}-{x,y}) I am facing the problem that I am working on a massive computer with lots of mem (and a very large windows swap file), but ...Show All

• SQL Server HELP!!! Can not restore database from only back up I have

  I had to transfer my database from one server to another. Both are running SQL 2000. I backed the database up and moved it to the new server however when I try to do a restore I get the following message: The media set for database "xxx' has 2 family members but only 1 are provided. RESTORE DATABASE is terminating abnormally. I did some searching and found a couple of posts that mentioned something about the back up including 2 files. My problem is that the machine I backed this up from crashed when it was shut down and would not reboot so all of the data and the original database do not exist. Is there any hope of restoring this database. It is pretty critical. Thanks, Melissa :-) I a ...Show All
