• Software Development for Windows Vista WinWf, SharePoint and OnActivated

  We have an InfoPath form in SharePoint that is triggering a workflow. When referencing the InfoPath form as such: private void OnActivated(object sender, ExternalDataEventArgs e) { // Read the association and initiation data. XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(WorkflowStages)); StringReader initReader = new StringReader(this.workflowProperties.InitiationData); WorkflowStages initiationData = serializer.Deserialize(initReader) as WorkflowStages; } everything works fine if it is instead coded as public WorkflowStages initiationData; private void OnActivated(object sender, ExternalDataEventArgs e) { // Read the association and initiation data.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is it possible to do a MasterDetail Binding with a TreeView?

  I used a ListBox and did a test on MasterDetail Binding and that works find. But if I have a TreeView is there any way to do MasterDetail Binding Example a preview box in a file dialog window /godzilla9 It seem that this is working only for the first level of the tree.

• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with SqlWorkflowPersistenceService and Hibernation

  Hi This error happens when you bring a computer back from hibernation. Now you would not normaly hibernate a server machine but thinking of those using WF Runtime on a client computer (lets say with Office 12) this could pose a problem. This was caught using Beta 2 bits as we have no means atm to test it on June CTP. Message "A transport-level error has occurred when receiving results from the server.

• SQL Server Reporting Services - Analysis Services - Displaying Dimension Members as Columns

  I think I've seen a similar post on a blog or on the forums - but it seems like this should be possible - I have an MDX query - that works fine in SQL Enterprise Manager, and has my dimension members on columns, and my measures on the rows. When I try the same query in Reporting Services, I get the error: "The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. The first axis of the query should not have multiple hierarchies, nor should it reference any dimension other than the Measures dimension.. Parameter name: mdx (MDXQueryGenerator)" Although it works when you pivot the view, I really need my data presented with the members on the columns and the measures on the rows.

• Visual Basic Converting PDF to TIFF

  In my current project I have a requirement to convert pre-existing PDF documents to TIFF documents as part of a process in a Windows Service. I've seen and demo'ed a few third party tools such as EasyPDF and PDFRasterizer. I was wondering if anyone knew of any open source or other solutions I should consider. Any hints on how to user the Acrobat interapplication Communication library When I tried converting a PDF to tiff images in a background process using the Adobe Acrobat API they all came out as 96dpi, which is completely useless for printing as everything is fuzzy. There must be a way to programatically do this. Or maybe there isn't. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Problem with DatePicker (Kevin's Bag-O-Tricks - January 2007)

  Hi all, I'm having a problem with the DatePicker contained in Bag-O-Tricks. The situation is as follows: 1. I have a DatePicker in my XAML-file. 2. The Value of the DatePicker is bound to the StartDate (DateTime) of my class: Value="{Binding StartDate}" 3. Now, when I run my app, open the DatePicker and click on a date: nothing happens! I put an event handler on 'ValueChanged', and that event only gets called one, when the DatePicker is created and the value is set to the StartDate. It seems that the control doesn't like it when it's Value is set explicitly, because it won't budge from that value. Any ideas on how I can work around this I'm now working with the MonthCalendar, which does not have this problem, but I would like ...Show All

• SQL Server Subquery as an expression

  Hi All! I am having trouble using a subquery as an expression. For example: SELECT tblCustomers.Name, (SELECT tblOrder.ID, MAX(tblOrders.OrderDate) FROM tblOrders WHERE tblOrder.ID = tblCustomers.OrderID GROUPBY tblOrders.ID) AS LastOrderID FROM tblCustomers WHERE tblCustomers.CustomerID=1 Basically what I want to do is return a single row for each customer with the customer's name (from tblCustomers) and the most recent order ID from tbl Orders. I understand that I cant select more than one field in my subquery, but how can I return the most recent order id (per the order date) without joining a view Make sense Thanks for your advice in advance! In 2005, something like this will work, most likely (your correlation in yo ...Show All

• Windows Forms add image to listview subitem

  Hi, I am trying to add an image to a subitem of my listview , how can I do this if not possible, are there any other alternatives thanks in advance! You've got some links to look at apparently (haven't checked them myself), but here is a very simple example. Before this code will have effect, you'll need to set the OwnerDraw property of the ListView to True: p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:10.0pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:115%;font-size:11.0pt;font-family:'Calibri","sans-serif';} .MsoChpDefault {;} .MsoPapDefault {margin-bottom:10.0pt;line-height:115%;} @page Section1 {size:8.5in 11.0in;margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} ...Show All
