• Software Development for Windows Vista Pseudo Code anyone?

  Ok Experts, I am looking for nothing more than pseudo code at this point - I've done little more than dabble around with the UI, created a simple activity, done some limited persistence etc.. Here's what I would like to do: Create a new WF instance Persist, and place the Instance GUID in a table, along with other attributes Present this list and allow selection Open the WF Instance again, and munge around with it - add properties etc.. Continue along the WF route and evaluate rules as necessary Persist again, etc.... Essentially I am not seeing the easy way to open a WF instance, work on something related to it, then update some properties and have it reume it's path ... Anyone care to point me in the right ...Show All

  Hi, How can one get rid off the  Security Warning dialog box which pops up when you try to access a property of ContactItem in Outlook 2003 I'm using Visual Studio Team Suite Beta 2, Microsoft Outlook 11.0 Object Library, Outlook 2003. I've written a webform to get the list of contacts and display it in a listbox.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Save project as

  Is there any way to save a whole project as a new name (new project) - not just Form1 I miss a file menu point like "Save project as". A VB project consist of an awful lot of files in nested libraries so if you want to test a modification it would be very nice to be able to save the entire project under a new name. That functionality does not exist in .NET Work around is to manually copy the entire directory to a new directory and rename the *.VBproj/*.sln/*.sou file(s) ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Visual Studio hangs when I try to "Check Out" a file from TFS Source Control

  Help! Starting 2 days ago I found that if I tried to right click on a file in TFS source control, VS would just hang. I could only close it by ending the task in task manager. I tried the repair option for Team Explorer and also tried the SP1 upgrade. It's still hanging anytime I try to manually check out a file via the source control explorer. NOTE: It seems as though I'm still able to check out files if I'm in a solution. But not directly from the Source Control explorer. And this issue is only affecting me. The rest of the team is fine. This is becoming more than annoying. Thanks for any help. Sincerely, Here's the log.... thanks again! 1/8/2007 3:35:15 PM (pid 2328, tid 348, 0 ms) ConnectionLimit = 32, Bypas ...Show All

• Visual C# Time Passed

  Is there any way to determine the amount of time that has passed from one specific point to another I.E. If the user logs in at 16:00 and logs out at 21:00 is there any way to tell that 5hours have passed Cheers Thomas ok so this is for your application. When user logs in, declare a global variable to hold the start time. private DateTime theStartTime = DateTime.Now;   now, when application is closing, on the Form_closing event (or perhaps implement the ApplicationExit event), simply do your calculation here. You take the current DateTime and find the difference between Now (exit time) and the start time. private void form_closing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) { &n ...Show All

• Visual C++ ReadProcessMemory crashes computer

  I am using CreateProcess, then using the process handle that returns and passing it to ReadProcessMemory. I have about 10 addresses I iterate through using ReadProcessMemory on each of them every 200 ms. Whenever there is a change detected in one of them, it will output the string ReadProcessMemory returns from the target process's memory. When I print this string to the console, my computer will emit an extremely loud system beep and crash, or it will just emit an extremely loud system beep. I haven't tested my program on any other computers yet, but if it is a computer specific-issue, but I'm running the program on a Dell Inspirion 9300 laptop.

• SQL Server Importing data using import service/DTS

  Hi, I'm using Sql server 2005 and I need to import about 15000 records from a txt file which is delimated using " | " character. Part of the problem is that the file has about 109 fields. The other part of the problem is that there aren't any headers defined. The field name and their respective data types are defined in a sepearte excel sheet. When I'm trying to import it using Sql Server 2005 import wizard, I would have to modify the names and the length manually and change the data types which is a time consuming job. My boss has claimed that he did it in Sql Server 2000 without using BCP utility and he got the table columns from the excel file (he didn't have to modify it manually somehow he import it) but he can't really remember !! ...Show All

• Silverlight (formerly WPF/E) "Loading" Support

  Does anyone know of a good location for an example of how to add a "Loading..." sort of support to WPF/E My assuption is that some small XAML is loaded to do the "Loading" screen, then another XAML object is loaded via AJAX or XmlRequest to do the loading of a larger amount of XAML or code. Ideas WPF/E Pad does this. It shows the main UI which is fairly small from a download perspective and then use XMLHTTP to download additional XAML. A textblock updates the user of which files is being downloaded and is hidden after the last file has been downloaded See it here . Source is here . ...Show All
