• 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

• .NET Development Winsock

  i'm using vb.net but i cant seem to find winsock (i really dont no what it is only that its can use TCP and UDP ). I'm looking off this tutorial here: http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp txtCodeId=48418&lngWId=1 (sorry dont no if your alowed to post links) well VB.NET or .NET rather doesnt have the winsock component but rather the System.Net namespace having TCPClient/TCPListener/Socket classes to communicate - maybe the same as the WinSock control but better and for .NET http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.tcpclient.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.tcplistener.aspx http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sock ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) It is too difficult to start a new WCF service

  I am starting to get really frustrated. I have been using the an old CTP of .net 3.0 and been developing fine. It is nice and quick and simple 1. file->new web site 2. choose C# WCF website 3. hit compile. and all the WSDL etc. is auto generated 4. tell my client to add a new service reference Now that i've installed on the latest September CTP there are a thousand steps 1. file->new web site 2. choose C# WCF website 3. hit compile. and nothing is setup. 4. read a few websites about how to enable WSDL. 5. Realise that you then have to setup some endpoints 6. realise that none of it works 7. post on MSDN Any help would be great. I was half way through a project but can't continue any further until i can actually create a new serv ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Document Library WebPart and Folder Navigation

  Hi, I have created a Document Library and am using folders rather than columns for organization. This is largely because when users upload more than one document at a time they are not prompted to tag them with metatdata and then lose thier files amongst the existing documents. It is difficult for them to then find the documents and edit the properties after the fact. With this being said, it is more convenient for them to navigate to the appropriate folder and then upload the multiple documents. The one issue with navigating the folders is with the Document Library Web Part. I can't find a way for them to navigate up a directory. The "Up" button is no longer in the toolbar. The breadcrumbs don't work like they do if you ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Branching Model - Staircase vs. Mainline

  Is there a preferred branching model to use for VSTF We are currently using the mainline branching model (software configuration management pattern), but are running into a couple issues that we didn't anticipate. For example, we currently have the following source control structure: /main/foo /Rel1-maint/foo /Rel1.1-maint/foo Both Rel1-maint and Rel1.1-maint were branches off the main branch. The problem that we are having right now is when there is a bug fix in Rel1 we make the changes and then merge back to the main. Since there is no way to merge changes from Rel1 to Rel1.1 directly, I guess we need to merge from Rel1 to Main and then do a file-by-file branch back to Rel1.1. Is there any better way to do this Would you suggest t ...Show All

• Internet Explorer Development IE 7 - scrolling jumps

  Is there a default setting I can change in IE7 that will stop the jumping when I try to scroll using a mouse wheel It's almost as bad as what I see when I'm connected remotely to another machine. Thanks, R. Hill Same problem here and it is driving me looney too. I checked the control panel and set the scroll wheel to one line per click and this has had no change. Basically for me, one click equals 5 slow scrolls on the IE7 screen. I am not having this problem with any other application and did not see this in IE6. I am ready to go back to IE 6 just because of this problem. ...Show All

• SQL Server Flat file CSV problem

  Hi all, I hope someone can help with a problem i'm having. I want to process a large number of CSV files into various tables in an SQL database. The CSV file contains entries on a row by row basis relating to specific events (indicated by an eventID in column 0). Eventually i think i want to be using a conditional split to process each row seperately depending on the eventID but before i get this far i am having a problem with the source data. Each event can have varying amounts of columns filled in in the CSV file. And each CSV file can have multiple event types in it. The flat file manager seems to merge a number of different rows into one within the preview pane. It seems to ignore the end of row delimiter of CrLf. Can anyone please hel ...Show All

• Visual Studio Printing Multiple Reports

  I've produced a business plan application that has about 20 different forms, each a section of the business plan, and each can be printed independently. I need to have a Print All button that goes through and prints all the reports I list (all of them in this scenario) and ideally, put a sequential page number at the bottom of each. Is this possible It seems to me this would be a common scenario, where you could provide a control with a list of already-coded reports and just print them off. I don't want the print preview popping up for each report! All the data sources are already set in the winform for each of the reports. Any ideas Hi, I'm not sure what language you are using, but to get the reports to print directly to t ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Version Control: How to Compare Directory vs Project?

  Hi everybody, How can I compare the contents of my workspace against a project in Source Control The command line tf diff myProjectDir /recursive /noprompt just outputs the pending changes source control already knows about, which is just what tf status provides. The Source Control Explorer in Visual Studio doesn't compare directories at all - even so it is described in the help files. But I want to know Which files are in my local directory but not in source control. Which files are in source control but not in my local directory. Which files are in both places but differ in content. To put it short: I am missing the Visual SourceSafe "File/Project Differences" and the acompanying ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer as a Team Foundation client?

  Hello, I have installed the .NET Framework 3.0 June CTP technology stack I have have been playing around with various stuff. I created a XAML (Web Browser Application) project in Visual Studio 2005 and then opened the same project in "Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer". I feel this is a great piece of functionality as designers are potentially no longer "second class team" members and have a toolset that integrates with what the developers are using. However, the thought occurred to me that what happens if your source control is in a Team Project residing on a Team Foundation Server Will Microsoft Expression Interactive Designer be able to connect to Team Projects If not, I feel this defeats the point o ...Show All
