• Software Development for Windows Vista Base Class and Inheritance

  Hi, I have an empty Workflow inherited from StateMachineWorkflowActivity (WFBase). I'm trying to define an inherited workflow to WFBase (WFChild) but can't find a way to do it ! - When i try to set "Base Class" to WFChild from the designer, WFBase doesn't show up in the list of available activities... Why - When i try to set the base class directly from the code and into the xoml file, the compiler complain about an invalid root activity... (It seems that it tries to find WFBase in the System.Workflow.Activities namespace ) Any ideas on how to do this PS : What is the correct path for the workflow xoml schemas definition, http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/workflow doesn't work ...Show All

• Visual Studio How to prevent SourceSafe login dialog from prompting up?

  I am using MS SourceSafe through MSSCCI to handle file version control and I am new to this area. Follow the document, I call the functions in this sequence : 1 SccInitialize 2 SccOpenProject 3 Other functions 4 SccUnintialize Everything works fine only the annoying VSS login dialog prompts up when I call SccOpenProject. I know I can use SCC_OP_SILENTOPEN but my call will fail with return code 2 ( operation cancelled ) if my user id has password. I can't find any SCC function that expects a userid/password, so really don't know how to let SourceSafe know my userid/password. Can anybody tell me how I can login to VSS silently without the need to input userid/password in a VSS login dialog Thanks, Zheng ...Show All

• SQL Server Syntax for WHERE clause for Access Database

  I have used this query statement with a SQL Server 2005 database and need to use something similar with an Access database: SELECT products.*, Category AS Expr1 FROM products WHERE (Category = @Category) When I test this in a table adapter there is no preview due to lack of parameter. I seem to recall that Access uses different syntax in the WHERE filter clause (i.e., not @). Can someone help me out with this As far as I can remeber from my access days, any name is treated like a parameter if access is not able to find it within the meta data fo the tables. If you want to refer to a Form value your will have to do something like = Forms!NameofTheForm!SomeControlValue But you might need to ask in ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Anti-aliasing and framerate

  Hi, i was wondering how the framerate and anti-aliasing work, the Spacewars starkit has a line: graphics.AllowMultiSampling = true; that the preceding comment claims enables anti-aliasing, but when i use it my code things still seem choppy. Also, i am having this problem where i have a projectile , and my framerate seems ot be locked at 60 fps for some reason (i don't think i had it synced witht he vertical retrace like in SpaceWars), and during the time between frames, a fast projectile moves a certain distance, distance, quite far aeway from where it was in the last frame, making things look a little discrete/choppy, its probably more of a game dev question than an XNA question, but are there any built in features in XNA to remedy that a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Page_Load called twice.

  Hi, Does anyone know why a Page_Load would be called twice on a page when requesting an aspx page I am using .Net 2.0 with the new .net 1.1 compilation model installed. Whenever I request a page, the Page_Load on the aspx page appears to be called twice, so does the Page_Load on and user controls added to that page. Without some source it is difficult to know exactly when and where your problem is occurring. It could be you having the Page_Load function wired up twice, or even you causing a postback without knowing it. That being said though you may have better luck in asking your question over on the ASP.NET forums where the folks there tend to think in a more ASP.NET centric sort of ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Optimistic Concurrency Issue

  I've been running into an issue lately where after an unknown set of circumstances, my access to the database becomes completely unreliable. For example, I fetch an item with an ID of 12, change its "Name" property to "Modified", and then SubmitChanges() on the database. The query submitted to SQL as shown by the profiler shows the system submitting a query for an entirely different item, with a different ID. When this symptom occurs, additional failures happen - such as error messages saying things like "1 of 3 updates failed" due to optimistic concurrency issues. When I reboot, this problem disappears and I can go about my business. What I'm looking for is whether someone here knows what event / code / error ...Show All

• .NET Development WSE XmlWriter and Server Side exceptions

  I'm getting an exception after I return from my service function because the dataset I am attempting to serialize has some strings with control characters in them. The WellFormedTextWriter does not like this and throws an exception. 1) I'd like to catch this exception in the server and do some handling there before passing it back to the client. Is there anyway to catch an exception in WSE after you have already returned from the web service function 2) Is there anyway to specify to WSE I want it to ignore control characters in string and just go ahead and escape them in the XML (maybe one way to do this might be to instruct WSE to use something besides XmlWellFormedWriter, any way to do this ) thx. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Explorer -> Sharepoint binding

  For some reason the link between Team Explorer and Sharepoint appears to have broken and I can't work out how to fix it. I can access my TFS project portal from http://tfsserver/sites/project/ but if I expand the project in Team Explorer the 'Documents' folder has a red x in it and is empty and the 'Show Project Portal' option is greyed out. Interestingly, if I open Visual Studio and do not expand the project in Team Explorer but just right-click on it then 'Show Project Portal' is enabled and links to the correct place. As soon as I expand it it gets greyed out. Any ideas You can see the URL's that are used by looking in the database. Take a look at the 'TFSIntegration' database, the dbo.tbl_servic ...Show All

• Visual C# Capturing Key Events

  Hi, I have a form that I want to respond to some key events. On the form is also a numericUpDown. It seems that the numeric is picking off the key events so that the code that I want to run for some specific events is not happening. Any know of how to deal with this Thanks Much. Jeff Hi, setting form's KeyPreview property to True should do the trick. Also, you can prevent up/down keys ever get to the NumericUpDown control...: private void form1_KeyDown( object sender, KeyEventArgs e) {     if (e.KeyCode == Keys .Up)     {         // Process a key here         e.Handle ...Show All
