• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow runtime hosting questions

  We're interested hosting a single workflow runtime to manage all our workflow instances. These workflow instances are mostly human user approval processes that could span days. The primary method GUI for approving/rejecting will be through a web application. If I implement my workflow runtime in a Window Service how difficult would it be to access the runtime instance. Can the workflow runtime be remoted by a web app or web service I have looked at implementing a workflow as a web service but they seem better suited for short-lived sequential workflows. I'm curious how SharePoint v3 implements the workflow runtime. I read that they use a specially tailored web service to broker the workflow runtime calls but I am not sure where the runtim ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Using XNA for a University Project

  Hey all, great community here with loads of great information. I have been considering using XNA for a while, just saving the money to buy a new graphics card for the moment. I'm doing a Game Development degree and have to choose a development framework to use for my next project. The two main choices I narrowed it down to are Quake III and XNA. I guess you would gravitate toward XNA but I noticed there some really smart people here who like a good debate so could you help give me some great advice as to which to choose. I would pick Quake III because its more games industry oriented and would be great experience, also its a complete games engine, with graphics and map editor and AI all built in. For XNA, I would pick it because I'm pr ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Help with comma separated values in report

  Hi! A bit of a stuck-up. It’s no problem in creating a coma separated fields in .txt kind of file. But I have another problem which is probably simple to manage (not for me though - my brains work 24hrs/day and don’t come up with nothing). I want to show several different values from one field (in query) on the report - now check this - They have to be separated by a comma in one line. If anybody is familiar with the solution just show me the direction and I’ll try to solve it by myself. Thanks in advance Where do I put this code Is it behind the report In which textbox could I display the result of this code. I changed the code with the real names of fields. So I expect it would work. Thanks ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error while using Workflows within Sharepoint Site

  Hi, I tried using the sample workflows from the ECM release (ECM sample started kit). Now this is what happens: I can install the workflows and the forms correctly. Once I go into my Sharepoint site, I can connect it to the workflow that I want. But once say I add a new document, open it in thr word client, from there say I click on "Start Workflow" this seems to fail for EVERY WORKFLOW - even those built in default (Approve etc). The initialization and association forms come up and I fill these (workflow has not started yet), once I click on "submit" (or any other button which is supposed to start a workflow) on the document library, I can see "Failed to Start" under the name of the Workflow.

• .NET Development Connection Pooling not working

  I have a form that has a number of database calls. It does these sequentially. In some cases it's not possible (due to archetecture more than anything) to make these calls all on the same connection. However it does open then close the connection. (all connections created are in using statements) What I'm seeing is that we're getting a timeout when the 100 connection limit is hit. Looking at Activity Monitor I can see these connections growing and growing over time in the activity monitor the more windows you open and close even though these connections are closed. (and they all use exactly the same connection string) data source=(Local);initial catalog=Evolution;password=dyknalna;user id=EvolutionUser;Connection Timeout=20; I read ...Show All
