• Windows Forms Binding text box fields to combo box selected value

  I have a small C# windows application with few text boxes and a combo box.

• Software Development for Windows Vista performance suddenly slowed!

  I am running WF under Vista. Everthing was fine until I reinstalled VS2005 to get access to SQL express.Now when I create a workflow (eg code below) the system pauses for about 1 minute workflowInstance = workflowRuntime.CreateWorkflow( GetType (Workflow1)) Then, everything starts back up again, running fine. Any ideas BTW I installed the SQL Server Management Studio express as well... Thanks Given what you have just installed plese share the WF Runtime Services that you are using in this program. It may be that you have a DB connection string which has issues or a poor use of the DTC. Try using SQL Profiler to identify where the delay is if it is occuring in a runtime service that uses SQL Server. Regar ...Show All

• Visual Studio IIS question.

  I got Visual Studion 2005 from MS last year but didn't have a computer to load it on till now. I installed it on the weekend. I was surprised there were no installation instructions, not even on the CD, except for a long list of things that could go wrong. I managed to install with no problems but when it was finished there was a cryptic message about registering ASP.Net with IIS if IIS wasn't already installed. I didn't have IIS installed. I seem to remember with 2002 and 2003 there were detailed installation instructions that included steps to install IIS and FPE. Can I find those instructions for 2005 Or are there separate instructions for installing IIS (and FPE) and then retrofitting this into my VS install I have XP Pro with SP ...Show All
