• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What is the status of MC++ in Orcas?

  With the delay of mixed types and/or support of native PODs in managed classes under C++/CLI moved to the future, how long is MC++ going to hang around I heard rumors that it will be deprecated in Orcas, which would be fine as long as this means it is not being removed. What is the official stance on this …for Orcas and beyond Thanks much, James. If Visual Studio dropped support for C++, they would lose over 50% of their developers. It isn't going to happen. Although, Microsoft has tried to force dumber things..... ...Show All

• SQL Server Deployment to one Database 'Clearing' Another...

  Hi, We have a setup whereby our production server builds to a build cube overnight, and if and when this completes successfully, and passes sanity checks, it automatically backs up and restores the cube over the top of a 'live cube'. This seemed like a fair enough plan - it allows developers to deploy to the production server without breaking the production-live cube, however, we have noticed that deploying to the build cube database sometimes results in the clearing out of the production cube database (much to the users' dismay!). Anyone else seen anything similar, or have any ideas as to what the problem could be Thanks, Will. First time I hear about something like that. Try and see if ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Why WF?

  Hi, I spent the last few months playing around WF, finally have better understand on how to create workflows and design the host applications. Then the next question is where and how to make use of them. My job focus is on Web-based Document Management Solution, which might involved some document approval workflow. One of the basic requirements is we need to provide a way for the users to design / modify the workflow (like many other DMS solution in the market). If we go for WF as the Workflow engine, I've the following concerns: 1) the WF designer seems too complex for ordinary users to understand. Also doesn't work under Browser Environment (actually it can but not recommended because of security issues). 2) a workflow ...Show All
