• Software Development for Windows Vista HandleExternalEvent activity in Parallel

  I have a few activities in parallel that listen for the same event. With the event arguments I will see which one of the parallel activities to execute. It seems though that the event is only fired in the first activity and not in all the activities waiting for this event to fire. When you have another workflow loaded that does not have a parallel activity in the workflow the event now fire twice in the same event handler. I will not know before runtime what workflow I will be executing. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Blog post

  Hi, for those interested: http://ajdotnet.wordpress.com/2006/12/02/got-gat/ Regards, Hi Alexander, Mmm... I'm still not sure if I'm following you here. If you're referring to the built-in "Implement Interface" menu entry then I can't see what's the advantage of using this command when you're coding an addin than when you're coding a guidance package. You could easily add a menu entry to the menu that appears when right clicking on the code editor (this should take no code but only adding the proper GUID:ID pair to the <CommandBar> element in the <HostData> for your recipe). But again, maybe I'm not getting right the differences you're talking about. thanks, -Victor. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Possible that Update() is multi-threaded?

  I'm getting a REALLY strange exception. It only occurs when I run my game via Ctrl-F5 (rather than F5) and even then I can't always reproduce it. It's in a bit of code that is simply a foreach-loop on a List<> of Particles and calling Update(elapsed) on each of them. The error occurs on the first line of Particle.Update() which is "base.Update(elapsed)" which calls the Sprite class' Update()... which has no indexes in it. At the end of the loop I look for any particles that need to be removed from the list and do so. Based on what little debug information I can get, it looks like it's an internal error in System.Collections.ListDictionaryInternal... Count is zero, which pretty much should never be the case... there's alw ...Show All

• Visual C# Move to a next window after pressing a button

  Hi, Basically, the title says it all. How can i move to a next window after pressing a button. I'm trying to make a calculator. Thanks in advance! well, if I undrestand correctly, you wish to open another window in your application correct (another form) if so, simply create an instance of it and show it to the user. Example: Form2 theSecondForm = new Form2(); theSecondForm.Show(); //or: theSecondForm.ShowDialog(); the showdialog() puts the form in question into the model dialog meaning that the previous forms opened are not accessible until this form is closed and only then can you access the other forms as well as continuing execution of code. Is this what you are after ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Sample Templates

  I downloaded the MSF Sample Tempates v3 and tried to open the MS Project files. I can't see nothing in there, altough the files are prety big. Can someone tell me how can I see for example the Gant chart Oh... my bad.  I guess I looked at the CMMI ones (glad you found them and could open them).  You are right, the Agile Zip does not have those files.  It makes sense however, since the Agile process does not usually have collateral like that. Maybe Randy can chime in with a better answer. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory does not contain a definition for CreateChannel

  I am experiencing some trouble using the latest .NET 3.0 release in a web application. I've created a WCF service and have been able to successfully communicate with that service in a winforms test client using the below code, but when I try to implement this in a web application it fails. A possibly related error is that I can't use the IDE to add a reference to System.ServiceModel but I can manually add a System.ServiceModel assembly node to the web config. However, when I do this, the reference must be different than the one used in the winforms client because I get the build error defined in this post's subject: System.ServiceModel.ChannelFactory does not contain a definition for CreateChannel. The client code I have written to use ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Need Help With Word Randomization

  I am writing a hangman project for school, and I need help with the word randomization part of it. I don't understand where the coding would go and what it would be. Babafaguchi, The random number generation starts from a seed value. If the same seed is used repeatedly, the same series of numbers is generated. One way to produce different sequences is to make the seed value time-dependent, thereby producing a different series with each new instance of Random. To improve performance, create one Random to generate many random numbers over time, instead of repeatedly creating a new Random to generate one random number. The following code example creates Random objects with different overloads of the ...Show All
