• Software Development for Windows Vista Scaling out Windows Workflow

  Looking for a point in the right direction for scaling out an windows service hosted workflow to multiple application machines. In the MSDN article "Performance Characteristics of Windows Workflow Foundation" http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/Aa973808.aspx they show workflows running on multiple machines. Are these machines sharing the durable queue thank you adam Tomas how does WF handle running the same workflow for the same instance (GUID) on multiple servers. Like in a multi level document approval workflow. Can two people using the same document approval instance approve and decline the workflow, or is the persistence locked so only one instance of the workflow is exe ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I re-enable available guidance in a Guidance Automation solution?

  Somehow, I've lost the "Set Content Files Build Properties" recipe in my solution. The other recipes, such "Register Guidance Package" still seem to be available. How do I get this back Thanks! Michael Weed Thanks Victor. I thought that might be the case. It seems I lost it when I refreshed my solution from source control (VSS) by doing a "Get Latest Version." I tried a few things on my own today, but to no avail I eventually created a whole new GAT solution and ported my code/objects over. I definitely would be interested, though, if you come up to a solution to this problem. Regards, Michael ...Show All

• Visual C++ MFC SendMessage and PostMessage

  Hi, Does anyone have an example of how to use those methods (oh... and not the MSDN reference ) tnx Ok, Maybe I was not clear in my question before, but the solution to what I was searching for is very simple and it looks like this: // get the wanted CWnd instance (could be a button, toolbar etc...) CWnd* pwnd = SomeWnd; // get the wanted commad id (like: ID_FILE_CLOSE etc...) UINT commandID = SomeID; // than just send it :) pwnd->SendMessage(WM_COMMAND,commandID); that's, it! ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Videostream

  Hi all. Been looking around with the aim of writing an app that can both preview and stream webcam video, but appear to have fallen at the first hurdle. All the information I can find seems to be older, using either native calls or DirectShow to perform this, but I've been told that the framework now supports using a WebCam. Anyone got any information on how to use a webcam preview, and maybe how to go about streaming it over a network Thanks! Further detail. The CBaseRenderer class helps in creating a streaming WMF Filter (and you can use the InputPin that it provides to retrieve the individual frames as they are passed to the Filter). The frame samples are pushed to the filter by the graph through the ...Show All

• Windows Forms Creating install packages for clients without .NET framework

  I have only ever done Web Application development, so with that being said: If I create a Windows Application and compile it into some installation package and give it to someone who does not have the .NET framework installed on their system, will it automatically install it for them, or simply error out and tell them they need the .NET framework Is there a way to wrap up the .NET installation with the installation of my Windows Application It can be done using installer projects in VS 2005.

• SQL Server Truncation warning, how to reset data flow columns

  I keep getting a waring: [Production IDW [1]] Warning: Truncation may occur due to retrieving data from database column "Industry" with a length of 16 to data flow column "Industry" with a length of 8. When I look at the industry lookup table the column size is 50. But the data flow metatdata is saying the oclumn is 8. How can I change the data flow column When I try to edit it and click on metadata it is uneditable. The field it is matching to is 50 and the field it is coming from is 16. I don't even have to close the window. I just click on another column properties, then go back to this one to see the value changed back. ixul. ...Show All

• .NET Development Download file with webclient through http

• SQL Server limit number of attributes in a model

  Processing Association Rules model on SQL 2005 Standard edition produced following error: "Error (Data mining): The 'WO_3' mining model has 6690 attributes. This number of attributes exceeds the attribute limit of 5000 allowed by the current version of the algorithm associated with the mining model." How can I limit number of attributes in a model Thank you You need to limit the attributes you feed to the model from the source data. In this case you are using a nested table, let's assume "Products". Each nested key e.g. "Product Name" becomes an attribute. You need to limit the product set you want to use to the 5000 attribute limit. There are a variety of ways yo ...Show All

• Gadgets Can someone test my gadget please?

  I posted my gadget a couple weeks ago and it has gotten a good number of downloads (~1500 atm) but mostly negative response. I suspect the problem is that I developed and tested this gadget on Vista RTM, but the Gallery only lets you choose "RC1" as the newest compatibility level (stupid ). I have not had any problems loading into the Sidebar on any RTM machine. What would really help me is to get a few people try to load it up and make sure it is working properly under a variety of environments (RC1, RC2, Beta, RTM, whatever), so I can figure out what the issue is that people are having. You won't be able to test the full functionality of the gadget because it requires you to have a particular type of webcam to stream video. ...Show All

• SQL Server Default values for datetime parameters

  Hi all, I have a report that needs a to-date and a from-date as input. I would like them to be set to today by default. I have set the data type for both parameters to DateTime and the default value as "Non-queried" = Today() This does fill in the dates with today, but I cannot change the value in the fields, until the report has been generated once. I just want the date to be equal to today since 90% of the time that is what my users wants to see - but I want to give the last 10% the chance to change the date without having to generate the report first. The date-fields are locked until some of the other parameters are filled in... It makes no sense really. Hope you can help me here :-D -- Heidi, Denmark ...Show All
