• Software Development for Windows Vista Exception handling in ExternalDataExchange services

  What is the recommended way of dealing with exceptions that occur during the handling of ExternalDataExchange events As the events are processed asynchronously by the runtime, there seems to be no way of the calling application (the host) being informed that the event has not been succesfully processed. For example: I have a custom HandleExternalEventActivity that continually listens for activity updates within an EventHandlingScopeActivity (see this post http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=807117&SiteID=1 for more info). This custom "HandleActivityUpdateEventActivity" will throw an exception if the ExecutionStatus of the named activity has a value of ActivityExecutionStatus.Closed (completed activities are n ...Show All

• .NET Development find .net version

  hello, Is there some way to find out what version of .NET is installed I've seen spots where people just cycle thru the three versions (1.0, 1.1, 2.0) to check, but I would like something where you don't know the number, so that it could work just as well for 4.0 as it does for 2.0. I'd like to be able to do this in Visual Basic. Thanks for any help. VBS in Windows (like WSH scripts) or VBS in an ASP application Depending on which we're talking about, you might have to tap the registry at the key I pointed to earlier. But be aware that multiple versions of the runtime can be installed on a single machine. Perhaps it would be more helpful if we knew more details about what you were trying to do. ...Show All
