• Software Development for Windows Vista Correlation does not work if used with WorkflowChanges at runtime!

  To better describe the problem I created an example: http://download.adestis.de/wf/CorrelationTest.zip Here comes the description: Background ------------ I am currently developing a error handling activity. This activity should be used as a container activity like the SequenceActivity. If the the inserted child activities faulted this process (child activities) should be retried or the error should be ignored or the workflow should be aborted. This logic needs to use the CallExternalMethodActivity and the HandleExternalEventActivity with correlation. To archive this goal (the errorhandling) I tried different approaches. The only working approach seems to be to dynamically extend the child activities with the error handling log ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL server agent job

  Hi I have a SSIS package that uploads data into a table by reading from flat file. When I deployed it to SQL Server(different machine, not in dev machine) it fails to execute the SQL Agent Job. I have tried as many combinations of sa vs windows authentication. I am sure there is no problem in the package, as it runs fine manually. I also tried to look into the log file. please find below the lines which were extracted from log file. "The job failed. The Job was invoked by User CHNBSL\durairaj.g.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is this a breaking change or was it a prior bug?

  So I finally upgraded my machine to the June CTP of .NetFX3 and found my code was broken. Basically it was complaining that an ObservableCollection in my control was null during initialization. In Beta 2 it would just initialize my collection for me. Before this code would work: <tempNS:MyControl> <tempNS:MyControl.MyCollection> <tempNS:MyCollectionItem ..../> <tempNS:MyCollectionItem ..../> <tempNS:MyCollectionItem ..../> </tempNS:MyControl.MyCollection> </tempNS:MyControl> Now I have to explicitly declare the new collection like so: <tempNS:MyControl> <tempNS:MyControl.Collection> <tempNS:MyCollection> ...Show All

• Visual C# Custom Business Objects as Data Sources

  I've built a class library and it builds fine. I go into the Data Sources of my client windows application but it doesnt appear in the data sources object list even though I've referenced it. I've done a couple of tests with building dummy class libraries and I get this problem intermitantly. I'm new to C# and so I think it could be something I'm doing wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction. grnr_r wrote: On the classes I wanted to expose as custom business objects, I hadn't defined the class as Public and with the way the Data Sources window works if there are no public properties in the business classes then the project won't appear as a data source.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Once copied, can we export as a GIF file?

  How to convert MS Excel to jpg or gif and paste/insert to MS Word thank you very much     That seems like a straight-forward way to do it, and it seems like it should work fine. However, it's going to be awfully inefficient. Can't you just grab the bitmap data from the clipboard as a DIB and write it to a file, then run external conversion software for the BMP->GIF conversion I'll see if I can come up with a way to do this. ...Show All

• SQL Server Replicating Stored Procedure permissions issue

  I'm having a problem replicating stored procedure permssions accross two sql server 2005 servers, using transactional replication. When I replicate tables, it's easy enough to send the permissions over from the subscriber since there is an option under the articles properties for "Copy permissions." I can't seem to find any such option for SPs, UDFs or views. Am I missing something So the other idea I had was to create a script to grant the proper permissions, and run it using sp_addexecscript to my publication. Currently I have two one-way transactional publications. One publication for all my tables, and another for SPs, UDFs and views. I can run sp_addexecscript on the publication containing all my tables with out a problem, ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Wished functions (brainstorming)

  Hello everybody and specially MsVE programmers! In this thread I invite you to post your desired VE functions and talk about the future versions of VE API. All you want, or imagine for VE can be possible (if programmers do it). Please, you must write clearly and with some examples. Thus all we'll be able to understand you. If a function is very popular and demanded, we can open another thread to speak on its viability. I hope that this brainstorming be interesting, and with the collaboration of all we improve the features of Ms VE. Thanks in advance to everybody and specially to programmers team!

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. distance of two points in DirectX (and some 2D calculations - area etc.)

  Hello to all I have developed own application (C#, .NET 2.0) with huge ammount of calculation in 2D. I am thinking to delegate some counting to DirectX9 compatible GPU. Because I am not familiar in DirectX I would like to ask you. 1. is it possible to count distance between two points in 2D (or3D) with using of GPU (is it faster that counting by my own program ) 2. are there possibility to investigate intersections between base 2d/3d shapes (circle,box or cilinder/cube ) - is it faster than own calculations does it worth to do implementation of such function with using of graphics card Another question is: are there possible to count area of group of shapes (box,circle etc.) by using DirectX = GPU I don't know if it has worth to spend t ...Show All

• SQL Server Report Parameters and Jump To Report

  Greetings, I have two reports, Report A and Report B. Report A has two parameters defined as "Prompted", meaning the report input area is available for the user. Report A parameters ---> StartDate, EndDate When Report B invokes Report A using the Jump To Report Functionality and passing Report B's StartDate and EndDate parameters, Report A seems to think the parameters are implied and not needed and fails to drop down the parameter input area. This is not desired because the user should be able to change report A's parameters.  Anyone know a workaround     When I test the reports in Firefox the parameter input area is always expanded. This maybe due to rendering of c ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. UV Coordinates of a mouse click

  Is there any way to find out the UV coordinates of a ray's intersection with a model (i.e., to read the position of a mouse click on the "screen" of a model of a TV in a scene ) Yes, although you have to do the work yourself. Once you have the intersection coordinate between the mouse ray and a given model triangle, you can decompose that position to the barycentric coordinates between the vertices, and interpolate the vertex U/V values using that. So: 1) Implement mouseclick to ray. 2) Implement ray against mesh testing (which is a sequence of ray-against-triangle tests in the simple case) 3) Implement barycentric interpolation There's google pages on all of those steps. ...Show All
