• Software Development for Windows Vista How to handle instance state of old version workflow?

  Hi, every one. We are trying to use state workflow to handle our sales order process. We create a new instance of the workflow for each new order as the new order is created.  As order is approved/shipping/closed, workflow instance handle it’s state. This works perfect. But when user changes the workflow definition, the old instance cannot load! Firstly we consider about keeping all version of workflow class in one assembly  But this will lead the workflow definition assembly growing large forever. Because usually a sales order need several month to be processed and user need change the workflow frequently. So there will be a lots of old version instance stay in our database. ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums How to re-connect an Excel.Application variable to a disconnected Excel instance?

  Hi, Automating Excel is wonderfull. I program it quite offen and I quite enjoy it. I have a question: When a program with new a Excel.Application is broken and stopped, the created Excel instance will be deattached to any VBA variable. In this case, I need to be "End Process" manually in the window task manager. I do this more than 50 times in one day of programming. Without doing this, I once had found more than 20 Excel instances in the task manager. It is terrible. I tried following, the program broken at J=27 in my 1Gbyte RAM notebook. Dim J As Byte, mExcel(1 To 50) As Excel.Application For J = 1 To 50 Debug.Print J; Set mExcel(J) = New Excel.Application Next Stop My question is how can I scan all curre ...Show All

• SharePoint Products and Technologies Language Pack installer issue

  I have Office SharePoint 2007 installed on Server 2003 and using SQL Server 2005. Also installed is Designer 2007 and all available SDK's. When trying to install InfoPath 2007 and Forms Server 2007 I am getting a error: "The Lanuage Pack of this system is not supported by your system". Although it would seem obvious that I downloaded the incorrent installers, I do not believe this to be the case since I have tried each of them a couple times in addition to having someone else download the installer for me. Anyone heard of this before or have any ideas Thanks, Greg I meant to follow this up sooner but forgot. I found out what the issue was in case anyone else ever comes across it... "s ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions running functions

  Hi All, I am new to C#, so my question may seem a little weird: I have this code: private void PrintPages () { PrintFirstPage(); PrintInformation(); } What I want to do, is that the user loads a page in the browser and I print it right when it is displayed. It is working fine, no problem. I want to print an "information page" after it. My problem is that the document the user loads is 10-15 pages long, the information is 1. As I see everything is sent to the operating system ( ) after the last "}". I was trying to find a way to send the contents of PrintFirstPage BEFORE PrintInformation is processed. I don't seem to find a solution. I have tryed Application.DoEvents(); bet ...Show All

• Visual Basic need help with offsets for LayoutKind.Explicit - unravelling a returned struct from unmanaged into managed

  Mathew Gertz pointed me in the right direction I believe in an earlier post. My P/Invoke is returning valid values for 'name' below at field offset 0 and other values as I can see in QuickWatch. StructA below is passed and returned from the unmanaged C++ dll with valid values. An error is thrown however; System.ExecutionEngineException was unhandled   Message="Exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' was thrown." I would like to try Mathew's idea of using LayoutKind.Explicit rather than LayoutKind.Sequential which I am currently using. If I had <FieldOffset(0)> for the first member of StructA, can anyone help me with how the rest would look I would say Offsets would increase by     1. 4 after each Integ ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error calling events on a suspended workflow

• SQL Server windows server 2003 query

  I am following the MCTS Self-Paced Training Kit for Exam 70-431 (implementation and maintenance of sql server 2005) and one of the prerequisites is that I have Microsoft Windows Server 2003 running on my computer on an NTFS file system (NTFS) partition. Now am I right in thinking Windows Server 2003 is an operating system. If it is can I install it alongside XP Professional which I am currently running. I am currently afraid to go ahead with the installation as I am worried it will overwrite XP, which would be disastrous as I have a great deal of data on it.

• Commerce Server Extending catalog search, best practise?

  I'm currently working on a project in cs2007 starter site where I need to extend the catalog search. What I need to accomplish is that when a catalog search has been performed I would like to present a number of filter dropdown-controls based on the searchible properties of the products in the search result, to give the user the ability to filter the search.
