• Software Development for Windows Vista How to extend compiled workflow through XOML?

  Two questions if any body can help then thanks in advance. 1. I've seen many posts which says that it isn't possible to pass parameters to a xoml only workflow, why does the CreateWorkflow signature accept a dictionary object for parameters I'm guessing there has to be some way, that I have yet to be seen and might be answered in question 2. 2. I was wondering if possible and how to extend a compiled workflow engine that takes parameters by creating a new xoml only workflow. I need to pass parameters to a xoml only workflow that is of a compiled workflow engine type. Can you let others participate in the solution How did you get it to work Thx Chris ...Show All

• Visual C++ Mixed Code Recomendation

  Hello experts! I have this silly question: I'm developing an asp.net application (C#) which depends on a C++/CLI dll (business layer). Mixing managed and unmanaged code is pretty simple in C++, but do you think there could be problems if a define a class like this: public ref class MyClass { private: int i; public: MyClass(int i) (i); } or should it be defined as follows: public ref class MyClass { private: int^ i; public: MyClass(int^ i) (i); } I've tried both versions from C# and they seem to work ok, but I'm not sure if this can become a problem later... I also tried removing the "ref" keyword to make it a native type but this way it seems like it's not possible to create an instance fro ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista elevate(UAC) activeX in vista?

  Hi, We have an activeX dll which does file/registry writing and spawns childs process which also seems to need elevated UAC access. I have searched net, and found you could elevate executables by embeding 'manifest' file into the executables. I've also found analyzing tool 'standard user analyzer' for exe files, but it won't help me with activeX What should I do for activeX to be able to perform restricted writing and such One solution I found is that I could run IE as 'Run as administrator', and the activeX control could perform all neccessary actions. However, I don't want the user of the activeX to do that. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks On Windows Vista, a process contains a single token an ...Show All

  i run a webtest for a homepage.it displays response time as 6sec,again i run the same test,it shows me 0.36,again i run the test,it shows 0.24sec. which values i hvae to consider for the webtest of homepage. Hi Nares - the first time response time of your homepage must be higher because of a first time compile if you haven't precompiled your web site. The response times thereafter are an accurate indication of your response time. Note that the response time of your website will vary slightly based on different factors. Your web test can measure the response time at various points in time and display interesting results about these variations. Check here for more info. - Anu ...Show All

• SQL Server Local cubes connection

  Hello, I have created 3 local cubes which resided in the same .cub file. The cubes created from AS 2005 cubes. How can I make ADOMD connection to all 3 cubes at the same time in my client application (C#) The problem is that Initial Catalog (database name) in connection string in case of local cubes is the same as the cube name. Thanks, GB In ADOMD you don't connect directly to any specific cube. Once you have connect to the database (catalog) you just specify which cube you want in the query. So you only need the one connection and you can use that to query any of the cubes in the catalog. eg SELECT measures.AllMembers ON COLUMNS FROM <CUBE_NAME> ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Always Showing Status Strip

  Hi! How can I make the status strip to always show at the bottom of the form even though the form is scrollable As for now, when I scrow, the status strip would be gone and it wouldn't stay at the bottom. Thanks Sam Did you put the form to AutoScroll to get the scroll bars What I think you might want to do instead is to put a panel on the form and put all the controls in that panel. The panel is a container control like the form is. Set the panel AutoScroll=True and Dock=Fill. This should allow the statusbar (that is added before the panel to the form) to remain visible all the time. I made a small test form like this New form Add StatusBar Add Panel, set AutoScroll=True ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Inherited Custom Image Control...

• Windows Forms IComponentChangeService.ComponentChanged doesn't fire

  Hey. We have a little problem regarding <subj>: we have a DesignerSurface and a propertyGrid to show the data on a selectedObject (IComponents, as the case may be). Upon changing a property value in the PropGrid - the IComponentChangeService.ComponentChanged event fires, but when changing a property normally in code (either from glyphs or from "external" code) - the event doesn't fire. Is this by design I saw in the reflector that normal (internal) glyphs do not change properties directly but call on a PropertyDescriptor.SetValue(). Is this the only way to get this to work (I should mention that I talk about properties of existing classes, and I cannot add the RefreshPropertiesAttribute hardcoded, or (as it ...Show All
