• Windows Forms need to display multiplelines using messagebox

  hi, i need to diplay the text in multiplelines in messagebox.Help me with this. thanks venp even though both solutions are valid (as always, replies are welcomed!) it is best to use the language's syntax instead of importing another language into the language you are using for many reasons, including this. So which ever language you are using, use its functions/syntax than trying to import from another one.... ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Runing workflow on WCF

  Hello, I have a long running workflow that I want to host on a WCF service. I have created a class that inherits from ServiceHost and that class initializes the WorkflowRuntime, but I can't find any way to get access to that runtime instance. I was expecting to have something like WorkflowRuntime.CurrentRuntime or a helper class that could retrieve the current instance, pretty much like WorkflowWebService.WorkflowRuntime. Is there something similar Am I missing something Thanks. Paulo, have a look at the following samples: SDK (RC1) CrossTechnologySamples http://wcf.netfx3.com/files/folders/other_snippets/entry4415.aspx http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CustomRemotingForWorkflow ...Show All

• SQL Server Is lineage more trouble than it's worth?

  Very often during dev. I add processes that don't change the metadata of a data item (for example a new sort) yet the linieage id is changed.  This causes lots of headaches down the pipe.  If metadata of a data item is not changed in the pipe, why is the lineage id changed If lineage is not smart enough to figure out when some metadata was actually changed, should it be made smart enough   Or optional Ken Fair enough, performance is certainly important. If lineage ids are a consequence of removing tons of error checking code and simplifying memory allocation in the integration engine, I can see how that would speed things up considerably at run-time. I do think SSIS is an excellent tool, amazing for a ...Show All

• Community Chat Using Vista?

  Good idea Joe! Okay, I'll go first.  I'm using Vista RC1 full time now.  The computer seems quieter--doesn't take so many trips to the hard disk for VM paging.  I find going back to XP an unpleasantry, so I think Microsoft is succeeding here. Glass is nice.  I think the performance is what I expected it to be on an Intel Advanced Graphics card (Dell Dimension 9100).  Office 2007 is also pleasant to use, but they stil have some cleanup work to do on their UI. Who else is using Vista   Brian I have a Celeron 1.2GHz if you want me to check it out on that :-) Automatically Vista will take out the whole graphics system because it doesnt meet the requirements.....

• SQL Server Insert Date/Time Question...

  Hello, I have an access database that contans a field called 'My_Date'. Since I want the column to store the date and time, I made the datatype of the the column 'Date/Time'.

So when i query the field I get the following output: 01/01/01 12:00:00AM How can i make it so when i insert a date and no time, there is no default value of 12:00:00AM So when i query i will just get: 01/01/01 Thanks, I just changed the Format to Short Date, but unfortunately it didn't help.

• SQL Server Is there support for xml path in SQL Server 2005 Express Ed?

  Hi. I tried a for xml query in SQL Server 2005 Express Ed. but it says that there is an error near path. I tried the rest of the statements in the query and they were fine. So this led me to ask if it there is for xml path support in SQL Server 20005 Express Edition Just in case this has anything to do with it, I have an installed version of SQL Server in my PC too. But I didnt find that in the requirements in installing the Express Edition. I really need to know this...It's kind of hard having to do the queries in for xml explicit, which works by the way. yes, thank you.. I was more careful this time.I still have to check it with the VPS though. Thanks a lot, its reassuring to know that at least that's d ...Show All
