• Software Development for Windows Vista DelayAvtivity in whileActivity

  I have a a voting application. The users have 24 hours to vote on a certain matter. I have the a listen activity inside a while loop that count all the votes. The whole voting process must stop after 24 hours. I can not place a the listen activity inside another listen activity and when i place the delay activity inside the while activity it is resetted every time that the loop goes through. Any ideas on how to do this workflow The two options I can think of are using a Replicator with a Listen child or using a StateMachine. For the replicator option you would initialize the InitialChildData with all the users that could vote and a separate instance of the Listen will be created for each user. W ...Show All

• SQL Server ODBC Error: SQLState 28000 & Server Error 18452

  We have an application that connects to SQL 2005 thru ODBC with the following string: driver=SQL Server;server=server1;database=db2005;uid=serveruser;pwd=pwd1; When our administrators login on the workstation the application works well. But when ordinary users login they get the following error. (We only have 1 domain) SQLState: 28000 SQL Server Error: 18452 Login failed for user ". The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. Then the standard SQL Server Login window pops up asking for the Login ID and Password. On the window the 'Use Trusted Connection' is checked and the name of the user on the workstation appears on the LoginID. What we do is uncheck the 'Use Trusted Connection' then login ...Show All

• .NET Development Why the change to Managed code and why not provide an Unmanaged (Native) option for VB.Net?

  While I know any program can be broken with enough effort. It seems to me that Microsoft's change to the .Net format has just made life much easier for code breakers while making it harder for Individuals writing code to sell small programs to protect their code. I used Obfucation of code with code I have written since the early versions of basic. But now it takes nothing to decompile the code and then work on figuring it out. While programs compiled in Native code it took much more to decompile and break the code where small specialized programs usually were not worth the effort to break. Why doesn't Microsoft continue to provide native code compilation for VB.Net programs to allow small business / Self Programers the same level of code ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing variables or objects?

  I am fairly new to programming in C# but I have been developing in T-SQL for some time. In SQL there is no such thing as objects so we pass everything with variables. I have seen sample C# code that passes data as a variable and other times as an object. My question is which one is better, for what reason and how would I know when to use one or the other. An example is below. Thanks for your help. Private void Sample1() { Int someInt; String someString; someInt = 1; someString = “test”; DoWork(someInt, someString); } Private void Sample2() { SomeObject someObject = new SomeObject(); someObject.someInt = 1; ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Reinstalling CF 2.0 SP1

  So, I tried to install the new .NET 3.0 SDK, which suggested that I delete CF 2.0 SP1 so that the installer could install an updated version. Thinking that there is a 3.0 tie-in to CF, I deleted the CF 2.0 SP1 from my PC (which of course warned me that this is areally stupid thing to do, but I did it anyway). Long story short, the SDK will not install on my PC, and now (at least for the short term) I need to reinstall the CF 2.0 SP1. How should I go about doing so Thanks, Joel Hi Joel I'd do the following: Do a 'repair' install of Visual Studio 2005. Then install the .NET CF 2.0 SP1 patch ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx familyid=7BEFD787-9B5E-40C6-8D10-D3A43E5856B2&displaylang=en ). Or: install the .NET ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Applying custom effects to an imported model

  Hi everybody! I'm playing around with my shiny new Beta2, and I'm loving it. :) I've hit a bit of a stumbling block, though: I have a .x model that I've imported, which was pretty elementary.... What I've not been able to do is find the proper methodology for associating a custom, imported effect with the meshes in my model. How exactly do I do that And what if I want different material effects applied to different meshes in the model Thanks, and I appreciate the help! hello I tried again and again and ..again.... and nothing seems to work, I tried different things, different models etc... In the kobalt example, is nice but you are using you own camera class, and I think my problem is in the wol ...Show All

• Smart Device Development VS2005 and WinCE4.2...?

  Hello, I get a device with WinCE 4.2 installed and I want to adapt my program written for WinCE5.0 for this WinCE4.2 installed device. When I click Change Target Platform in the Project menu, I can not see Windows CE 4.2 in the combobox. How can I do this Thanks in advance. VS 2005 has no support for CE 4.2. If you keep project type at CE 5.0 and deploy NETCF to device manually, it works most of the time with CE 4.2. If it does not, you'd need to debug on CE 5.0 device and test it on actual device to ensure compatibility. ...Show All

• SQL Server Will MS address SSIS?

• .NET Development Software Remote application launching help needed

  We are programming on an application. I have to create a remote launcher kind of thing. Any ideas how can I launch one application on differenct parts of the world I am not talking about spamming on someone's system. We will use dedicated machines worldwide to test the performance of the application. Any help would be greatly apriciated. As a rule of thumb, you will have to run some of your software (an agent) on a machine that you want some more of your software to run on. You could, for instance, build a WCF service that is run as a Windows service and use that to launch additional applications. If you don't have any code running on the box, you can't start anything on the box. The only exception from this would be COM, but that's ...Show All
