• Visual Studio Team System MS Project versions?

  Does MS Project have some sort of versioning mechanism An .mpp was created by pulling work items for a query and then saved to a desktop. after modifying and saving the changes, upon reopening the start date and first item in the project plan have incorrect dates. Once the document was sent to me and everything connected to TFS, the dates were what they should have been. I'm just curious how I can access the same .mpp and see different dates than a coworker for the same work items. We are both running MS Office Project Pro with SP2 and are both connecting to the same TFS site. Yes, I sent the .mpp back to the person where the .mpp originated and he made the revisions and then published. Ever ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Get data from the workflow

  What's the recomended approach to get data from workflow I have handleExternalEventActivity to push data into the workflow I have call callExternalMethodActivity to push data into the host. What if I need from the host to get some data of the workflow I could use one handleExternal event and then call a method on the host through callExternalMethod. But I'm asking if there is a better, and if possible, synchronous approach to this problem Something like myDataService.GetMyDataFromWorkflow(instanceID) ... I'd use a custom tracking service to manage this. It makes it easy to do just what you want, which is ask a service for the properties on a given workflow instance ID.

• SQL Server Using CTE in data paging

  I explore a possibility of using Common Table Expression (CTE) instead of temporary table in data paging. But the problem is that it looks like I can reference CTE only once in my script. I need to return data for a current page as well as the row count for entire selection. Here is my script: with names(row_num, first_name, last_name) as ( select row_num = row_number() over(order by last_name, first_name), first_name, last_name from contacts where last_name like 's%' and first_name like 'm%' ) select row_num, first_name, last_name from names where row_num between 41 and 60 -- 3rd page order by row_num select count(*) from names go It selects 20 records, however it displays an error when it tries to execute select count(*): ...Show All
