• Visual Basic open a file with is default program

  Hello, When you open a .txt–file, Windows will use Notepad for viewing the file. I have created a program, such as Notepad and I have declared that the .txt–files must be opened with my program.

• SQL Server Running Cognos 7 series with SQL 2005 Enterprise

  I know this question is more suited for Cognos but the problem that I'm faced with is simply that I have a Microsoft SQL 2005 Enterprise server which has cubes written in Analysis Server 2005 (AS2005) and in the frontend, I have Cognos 7 series retreiving those cubes. Now here is the problem. Cognos series 7 does not support AS2005 and now I have to somehow figure out how I can get this working. Any suggestions I recently had some discussions with some Cognos employees around support for SQL Server 2005 cube support. They "supposedly" have a release of Cognos 8 BI coming out end of this year or early 2007 that will enable support for SQL 2k5 cubes. Thanks, Greg H ...Show All

  Dear all, I have a working StateMachineWorkflow hosted under asp.net 2.0. I have written a simple routine (shown below) to interrogate the current state of a workflowinstance: public string WfCurrentStateDescription(string WorkflowInstanceId) { // Get the workflowRuntime which was started in global.asax WorkflowRuntime wfRuntime = (WorkflowRuntime)Application[WorkflowRuntimeKey]; StateMachineWorkflowInstance wfInst = new StateMachineWorkflowInstance(wfRuntime, new Guid(WorkflowInstanceId)); return wfInst.CurrentState.Description; } I find that, once I have called this on a workflowinstance, that instance gets "stuck" in the current state and never transitions to the next state, even though code appears to get c ...Show All
