• Software Development for Windows Vista Context in workflow?

  I was curious to know if there a way of sharing a "context" between all activities in a workflow instance. I am looking at something analogous to HttpContext in ASP.NET and LogicalCallContext in Remoting.

Thanks, Manoj Paul, I am not clear how creating a custom activity would help me solve the problem. I have asked several times for simple code samples to get me started.

• Community Chat Symantec McAfee pooh pooh about accessing Vista kernel

  I have read with great interest the recent gaafs by Symantec and McAfee who are grumbling because they can no longer access the Windows kernel. They rant anti-competitiveness and such however, as a reseller, they have done a piss poor job of protecting the Windows systems. I know, I fix heavily infected systems everyday that have up-to-date desktop versions of their suites. Their desktop security suites are inferior and just plain don't work. As far as I am concerned Microsoft shouldn't let ANYONE access the kernel henceforth starting with the new Vista OS. Pound sand Symantec and McAfee. You've screwed consumers long enough with your inferior products and its time Microsoft put their foot down. mcaffee and symantec are overpriced, an ...Show All

• Visual C++ VS 2005 SP1/atlconv.h fix.

  Hi, I've just installed SP1 and notice that the bug involving the need to add an extra closing bracket to the atl W2A_CP macro (in atlconv.h) has been fixed. This now means that my workaround to add a closing ')' causes a compilation error. Is there any means of maintaining code compatibility with VS 2005 RTM via a #define It doesn't appear that MSC_VER or MSC_FULL_VER has changed. Is there anything I can do It's going to be a pain if I need to get all our devs and build systems to upgrade immediately.
