• Software Development for Windows Vista problem with workflow properties

  Hi, I'm working on designer re-hosted sample to let end-users to design their own business process. I want to let the user define workflow properties at the beginning and then use these properties in the activity bind or rule set dialogs. The user will set the workflow properties through dialog as in beta1, or by clicking on ellipsis … in the workflow properties grid like dynamic properties custom activity but in my case the properties will be at workflow level. To achieve the functionality, temporary I add a button to the re-hosted sample. The button will be showed up a form to collect data from the user then these properties will be added to the workflow by using this code: public void AssignProp( ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) MarhalByRefObject

  Two questions: 1.) I'd like to create a proxy for automatically generated entity framework classes. The problem is that the generated classes do not extend MarshalByRefObject. Is there any workaround 2.) Is it possible to define that the properties of the generated classes are private instead of public Thanks! Marcel Hi Marcel; To understand the answer to both your questions, it's important to distinguish between the code generator and the runtime Entity Framework (and Object Services, in particular). The code generator that is part of the current build is not very extensible, and does not provide support for specifying an alternate base class nor that members be generated private instead of pu ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Problem with compilation order

  Am getting an error when I try to deploy: Cannot find either column "shared" or the user-defined function or aggregate "shared.dbo.f_get_vat_rate", or the name is ambiguous The problem is that I have a view which references a function in the same database. The view is getting compiled before the function. Looks like a bug to me. Please confirm and let me know whether a fix will be possible. Thanks. I don't believe the error is due to referencing a function from a view (I just tried the scenario on CTP5 and it works). I believe the error you're getting is due to specifying the name of the database in "shared.dbo.f_get_vat_rate". If you change the reference to "d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Could C# be the future of gaming?

  Since XNA is using C#, and is is a more intuitive language than C++, is it possible that in the future that C# will dominate, espessially in AAA titles. Could XNA be ushering a new way of programming in the main stream From my experience (and that is having developed several shareware games) C# is no different than Managed C++. The same performance. Native C++ only has a small (within 1%) performace increase over C#. I have been successful in porting one of my games from CLI C# to MONO C# for linux/Mac OS X and it was flawless. C# IS the future, it's easier to read, easier to program, opens up the doors to RAD C++ because that's what C# is. What Roger said about the algorithms is true, after all the language comparisons, if its ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Blocking users from CDROMDrive

  I want to block the users to prevent read and/or write access to the CDROM or CDROMDrive in VB.NET. Can the same be happen for Floppy Drive also it would be tricky to do and would recommend applying group policy security on the system than creating this application. It will be easier and why re-invent the wheel when it can already been done in a few minutes :-) you would have to have some low level hooks - not even sure if there is an API that would expose access rights to the CD drive ...Show All

• .NET Development StDev returns NaN

  Hi Everyone: When using the code to calculate the StDev of a data column, it returns NaN. But all other aggregate functions, like Sum, Count, Min or Max return a number on the same data column. It seems this function has a limit on the maximum number of rows it can hundle. The number of rows in the column is 46712; if I reduce the row number to 46064, it works. DataTable.Compute("StDev(DataColumnName)", "") Does anyone has this problem before Does anyone know under what condition, this function returns a NaN Thanks. Hi, By the following code, I verify that the limit of the StDev function is 46340 line of rows. Dim dt As DataTable = New DataTable() Dim a ...Show All
