• Software Development for Windows Vista Can't query user events but they are in the Database

  Hello, I have a workflow with both tracking and persistence, using the shared connection service. Both work fine. I've created a tracking profile that only tracks some of the workflow states, and that also tracks user events. In one of the activities of the workflow, I call the method TrackData and pass some parameters (I've tried with a string and with a class). If I check the database I find the string in the UserEvents table, under UserData_str. If the paremeter was the class instead of the string, I find the name of the class under UserData_str. But when I try to query for that data in my application, most of the times I find that the sqlTrackingWorkflowInstance.UserEvents.count is 0. I queried for all the workflows and in few of th ...Show All

• Visual C# Variable scope ina foreach loop

  Hi, I get a compiler error when I declare a variable of the same name as the one declared in a foreach loop as the code snippet below shows: foreach ( FileInfo file in sourceDir.GetFiles()) { ...} FileInfo file = testDir.GetFiles()[0]; The error is: "A local variable named 'file' cannot be declared in this scope because it would give a different meaning to 'file', which is already used in a 'child' scope to denote something else" I dont see why this is a problem if the two fiel variables are in different scopes or am I wrong in that assumption If not, then why do I alse get a compiler error if I try to reuse the variable by changing the second line to: file = testDir.GetFiles()[0]; Thanks ...Show All

• Visual Studio Start Page not functioning

  I logged in as an admin and installed VS Pro 2005 on my machine. Everything looks good and seems to be working properly in the admin account. But when I log in as a standard user, the Start Page's Visual Studio Developer News area shows this message forever: "There is no content available yet. Content will be downloaded once a connection to the internet is established." Why is this I need to use my machine as a non-admin. Does anyone know how to correct this I downloaded, installed and tried Fiddler. It shows no HTTP activity for the Start Page (all other HTTP traffic on IE shows fine). When I log in as an admin and test it, the Start Page's HTTP traffic is all shown fine. Weird... So I guess my ...Show All

Basically, you can do something like this: Dim objFile As IO.FileStream Dim objRead As IO.StreamReader objFile = New IO.FileStream("your File path", IO.FileMode.Open) objRead = New IO.StreamReader(objFile) textbox1.text = objRead.ReadtoEnd objRead.Close() ...Show All

• Visual C# Using SerialPort with USB and removing USB cable while port is open

  If I open a com port and then remove the USB cable from PC before closing the com port then there is now way I can dispose the com port after that. Not even Environment.Exit(o) works, i.e. I can not exit my program properly. The following code describes the problem: SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM94"); port.Open(); int n=0; while (n < 10) { n++; Thread.Sleep(1000); } // (Remove USB cable before the while loop has finished) port.Close(); // <-- won't work port.Dispose(); // <-- neither will this Environment.Exit(0); // < ---and not even this one will work How can I work around this Btw the same scenario will appear if the USB device crash I hav ...Show All

• Visual Studio SandCastle, Msbuild, and H2Reg

  I have updated to the Oct 17 version of sandcastle and update msbuild scripts for the changes in this version. I am successfully building an hxs and can view it correctly with h2 viewer. However, when I register the collection to integrate it with Vs 2005 only the index items appear but nothing shows in the content window.

I am working on a fix and will come back with a response. Anand.. ...Show All
