• Software Development for Windows Vista WWF Scenario using ASP.NET

  Hi, I want to implement a WorkFlow in ASP.NET using Windows Workflow Foundation. I have a Web Form where user 1 fills in the form and submits it. This form and the saved data is then sent to user 1's boss who reviews the data and submits the Web Form to his boss and so on and on until it goes to the top of the Organisation where it is finally approved or rejected.

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. XNA windows and game input devices

  Ok perhaps I am a moron but if XNA lets you create a windows game then why does it seem that only one kind of gamepad will work with it ok so msft would love to sell 360's and the pads that work with them but.... come on ! I have a microsoft joystick and a logitech game pad that work just fine.... why not support standard gamepads not everyone wants an xbox pad, some kinds of games are better with a stick - like a flight sim and some users prefer them. why such a limited input option when the game is on a pc with so many input devices I am sure that an "adpater" could be written to map a std' input to the gamepad but since MSFT wrote DX and DInput and WIndows and XNA seems like they should have inclu ...Show All

• SQL Server Moving a DB to a different domain and then connecting

  If a thief yanks (technical term) a hard-drive containing a SQL Server 05 database from a server and then installs it on a server in a different domain, is there any way he could connect to it This question assumes that a hacker didn't somehow transfer the domain logins. Could the local admin even add himself as a user to the database without having the admin login information from the previous domain Thanks, As the server is attached by a sysadmin (no matter if its a malicious domain :-) ) the sysadmin will have full access to the database. Thats why the access to the physical files also has to be secured rather than just the logical access through autorization. See this recently answered post: http://forums.microsoft.com ...Show All

• Windows Forms DataBound DateTimePicker/ComboBox Events

  Events on Databound controls that have their Visible Property set to false at DesignTime do not fire events. I was told this was part of their design. I accept that fact. But controls that have Visible set to true at design time and then Visible gets set to false at runtime, will fire events even though Visible is false. Question 1: Why does having Visible = false at Runtime and Design time behave differently Question 2: What internal happenings occur that make the control start firing events and can I trigger this internal change (i.e Can I force a Control with Visible = false at Design fire its events or visa versa can I make a control with Visible = false at runtime not fire events) How to Repeat: I attached a simple ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) CPU throttles when binding listener to MSMQ private queue

  Hi, I'm in the process of trying to get a test MSMQ listener setup to receive messages from a test client. If I create the queue manually through the MMC snap-in, the client is able to deliver messages to the queue successfully. However, whenever I attempt to start the queue listener console application [in debug mode or double-clicking the app], CPU usage spikes at 100% [evenly split when running in debug mode between the app and devenv.exe]. The console app appears to have the appropriate endpoints exposed, but it just sits there without actually processing any of the messages that are in the queue. If I remove the queue, and start the client, it cannot deliver messages to the queue, stating that the queue does not exist, and t ...Show All

• SQL Server How to create a connection to Access Database

  Hi guys, I want to create a report from Access Database. Can anybody tell me how to connect and create a data source from Access data source. A step by step guide is preferable. I am more concerned on the connection string. Thanks. There are two standard data providers that may be used to connect to Access databases:The JET 4.0 .NET OLE DB provider and Access ODBC driver. The former is newer and generally more efficient than the latter. In the "Connection Properties" dialog, 1) pick "OLE DB" under "Data Source" 2) pick "Microsoft JET 4.0 OLE DB Provider" 3) enter the full path of Access file under "Server or File Name" 4) the conne ...Show All
