• Visual Studio Express Editions Cannot copy website with ftp

I have entered all the appropriate information in the conection screen and when it tries to connect the system hangs and the the program becomes non responsive.

• Software Development for Windows Vista State Machine Workflow with Parallel Workflows: How do I signal a particular state?

  Context I have a reasonably complex state machine workflow implemented (and it works).  Each of the 10 StateActivities in the root StateMachineWorkflowActivity has an EventDrivenActivity, HandleExternalEventActivity and SetStateActivity. In the client application, I've implemented an ExternalDataExchangeService local service and I can use it to signal the StateMachineWorkflowActivity to advance through each of the 10 states.  No problem. I now want to add a ParallelActivity to one StateActivity add parallel execution of some new StateActivities in the root StateMachineWorkflowActivity . Questions 1. What do I do in my ExternalDataExchangeService local service to signal a particular StateActivity/EventDri ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Existing .NET 1.1 framework applications crash on Vista RC2 not on RC1

  Our existing product will no longer start on Vista RC2. I've seen some posts outside of MSDN that other apps are having the same problem. Has anyone else had this issue or know of a solution The error is: "Unable to find aversion of the runtime to run this application." Of course as soon as I posted this I found the real problem. It turns out our obfuscator (xenocode) was causing RC2 to give the above error. Luckily they had a fix for the problem posted on 10/22. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How do I load a 3d mesh (.x file)?

  How do I load a .x mesh into my scene The space game seems to use its own format (which it names .swm), and there's nothing in the help. I've been scanning through through the classes in the Framework namespace, but I can't see anything obvious! Is .x the recommended format for objects like this (If not, I change my question to be about the recommended format :D) If anyone knows anywhere that has some nice .x meshes I can play with, that'd be cool too. The only one I have lying around is a chair, and that's going to look a bit funny running around my game :D Danny Tuppeny wrote: I don't mind using the meshes from the space game, but aren't they all flat/2D No they are all very ni ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) ASP.NET 2.0 Web Events and FaultExceptions

  I found that unhandled FaultExceptions are not recognized by the ASP.NET 2.0 Web Events health monitoring feature. I'm still on the last RC, so I'm wondering if this is corrected in the final release of .NET 3.0. As a workaround, I have found it necessary to catch FaultExceptions and wrap them in a new Exception using the overload that sets the FaultException as the inner exeption of the new error. This results in an error that is properly handled by Web Events. FaultException is intended to model application fault messages. Put another way, a FaultException is a 'normal' event, so this might explain the behavior you are seeing. That said, I honestly don't know much about how WCF interacts with health ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Problems with Private Subs

  I am lost (whats new)......Are not Private Subs within a single Public Class mutually exclusive from each other If they are not how then do you make them mutually exclusive Also, if you call a Provate Sub that you created ( i.e. Private Sub Clearand Off () .... which is used turn off and clear specific txtboxs, lbls, and checkboxes) in all the Private Subs that you have is the use of that Private Sub Mutually exclusive to the Private Sub you made the call from Please if I am not clear, let me know.

• SQL Server Mouse over on the Line Chart

  Dear All, Currently I am using Reporting services to display a line chart and it now works fine. However, there is a user requirement that would like to have which is to display the actual value when mouse over the line. But I cannot find any clue to do it. For tooltips property it only display a specific value and also not just apply to the displayed line only. Does anyone has experience on this Or it cannot be done in Reporting Services Thanks. Cheers, Keith N. I posted this same question about a month ago and did not get a response. Maybe you will, but is sounds like an enhancement request. It does make perfect sense when there are a lot of lines that you would like to see which belongs ...Show All

• Visual Basic Displaying hexadecimal data as float. What sort of result are you after?

  My setup is: SQL Server 2005, Visual Web Developer 2005 Express (VB) I have a SQL Server database that gets a large C++ data structure that contains longs and floats serialized as an ASCII string where all bytes were converted to hex. The bytes have to be reversed because of endieness. I have been tasked with creating a page to dispaly the parsed data. I know that I can extract the data in groups of 4 (for the longs) and 8 (for the floats). I can convert the hex to decimal, but it is converting to a very large integer type value instead of the expected decimal. I have tried to search the web, but have found very little to aid. The closest used a function similar to the C++ memcpy. This did not seem to be available in my case. A sample of t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System (sharepoint) accessing document library as regular folder win2k3 sp1

  Hi, I have a Sharepoint specific problem on my TFS server: When using windows xp as a client I can access all document libraries as regular folders in the windows explorer ie: \\myserver\sites\mysite\mydocumentlibrary While on Windows Server 2003 (standard sp1) I cannot. (Note: this is not the same as TFS, but used as a regular client.) Accessing the folders as web folders in my network places or from Word 2003 is not a problem. I have tried uninstalling IE enhanced security on the win2k3 server.
