• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Is it required only VS Express version?

  I use the VSTS. I can't install XNA Game Studio Express. As already stated you need to have C# Express to run the Framework. And you will find that all of the express products will run side by side with the team system (I have them running now). You will also find that you can install the vs 2002 and 2003 systems as well. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System CTP6 - Cannot create project

  I've just installed CTP6 and cannot create a 2005 project. I am getting the following error: "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Transactional persistence of multiple workflow instances: pooled connections maxed out

  I’m trying to poke WF in various ways to make sure we can use it in a large project. The system will largely create the workflows in batches. For example every night we may create 4000 or so workflows. If I’m dealing with a batch of 4000 I don’t think I’ll be creating the workflows and starting them right away like this: WorkflowInstance instance2 = workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow(typeof(Workflow1)); instance2.Start(); I’m more thinking I’ll be creating all the workflows, getting the WorkflowInstanceID, recording this against an item in the database which the workflow is tied to. This needs to be in a transaction as I need to ensure the workflow is persisted and the WorkflowInstanceID is also recorded against the relative item in the datab ...Show All

The suggestions I've seen are all based on custom dictionaries, but of course there must be a way to directly tap into whatever Windows itself is using. Any ideas Send Michael Kaplan an email, he's the MSFT localization expert. ...Show All
