  I am trying to install sql server 2005 express on 64 bit windows but i get a error message saying SQLncli_x64.msi file is missing and asks me to download it.

• Software Development for Windows Vista ManualWorkflowSchedulerService and serialization

  I have ExternalEventHandlerActivity waiting for event with EventArgs that is not serializable. If I use DefaultWorkflowSchedulerService, I understand, why EventDeliveryFailedException is thrown, when I try send this event to WF. But the same exception is thrown when I use ManualWorkflowSchedulerService. What is the reason for serialization in this case I think, that everything is running in the same thread. Thanks for answer. The ExternalDataExchangeService does not hardcode for a specific type of scheduler. We clone (serialize/deserialize) the event args before delivering them to the workflow to ensure that the host does not hold a reference to the same object. The workflow may also persist while still h ...Show All

  This will hopefully be a very easy question... In the below example, the TextBox always displays the correct, bound, value from the dataprovider. But "MyControl" always displays the FallbackValue ("test") even though the binding expression is identical. I'm a bit confused as to why this should be <StackPanel DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource BTTC}}"> <TextBox Text="{Binding Mode=Default, XPath=/Root/Number, FallbackValue=test}"/> <local:MyControl x:Name="_myControl" Text="{Binding Mode=Default, XPath=/Root/Number, FallbackValue=test}"/> </StackPanel> public class MyControl : TextBox //FrameworkElement//, INotifyProperty ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Ending Application

  How do you end application properly when the user click on the X on the control box I have a program that does a loop, reading delimited file. What happens is that when user closes the program, it's still running in the background. I used "End" on form closed, and it works great; but I've read that you should never use it. So what is my alternative to stop it The simplest thing to do is to set the shutdown mode to "When Startup form Closes" ...this will force the application to end when the startup form is closed no matter if any other forms are open. Otherwise you can use: Application .Exit() ...Show All
