• Software Development for Windows Vista Using a Workflow by a Windows and a Web Application at the same time

  Hi Everybody, I just saw many Web Casts about WWF and I'm wondering is it possible to start the first activity of a Workflow by a Windows Application then doing the second Activity by a Web Application. I think it is not possible in the case where both Windows and Web applications must share the Same Workflow instance. Mybe there is a possibility to do that by using a Web Service by instantiating the Workflow on it then pass the reference of the Workfow by a Web Method. Thanks For Help. Hi, it's me again !! As I said, I want to rewrite the Expense Workflow but I'm blocked here ([System.IO.FileNotFoundException] = {"Could not load file or assembly 'ExpenseWorkflow' or one of its ...Show All

• SQL Server Filtering KPI if already included dimension in calculation

  Re: SQL 2005 AS. Is there a way to filter a KPI if already included a dimension in the MDX calculation For example have created a calculation called "Profit" which is made up of [Account, Product subset, $] .  When try to filter by Product in the KPI browser, does not work. Another example is say have a set of data which only includes apples, oranges, & apricots in the calculated member.  Can I apply a filter to the resulting KPI to just show oranges   Is there a way around this, without creating separate calculations/KPI's for each product (e.g. Profit apples, Profit oranges, Profit apricots) DataSet GL Account Set {...} Product Set {PA010,PA020,...

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Get Current Slide Number And Insert a New Slide

  I've recorded a macro to perform certain formating to slides in a ppt 2003 show. I would like to enhance it by having it insert a new slide after the current slide (as the standard action with CTRL+M) When I record the macro, however, the slide number being inserted is hardcoded - I want the macro to insert after the now current slide. When I record inserting after slide #2, the applicable macro line reads: ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=3, Layout:=ppLayoutText).Select How can I get the macro to determine the "current" slide # and change that index:=3 to the apprpriate numebr (or variable containing that number TIA ...Show All

• SQL Server Using detached database...

  Hello, I currently have an application that uses a Access/JET database for a desktop application. The application is single-user and outside of a few corrupt MDBs occasionally, the setup is working fine. I am thinking about switching out from using the Access database to using a SQL Server Express detached database. I'm not sure if this is a "proper" usage of a detached database, but I've verified that I can access and query a detached one... Is this something that is recommended Are there any performance issues associated with it (I believe the detached would be faster than the JET database.) What kind of maintainence would be needed for the SQL Server file (I currently have a "Repair and Compact" option for the Acce ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Error with using window.open() to access web URLs

  Has anyone run into the issue in IE7 on Vista that an error is thrown in the window.open method when you are referencing an external URL function WWW(url) { var urlWindow; urlWindow = window.open(url, "New", "directories=yes,location=yes,menubar=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=yes"); } If the value of url above is http://www.msdn.com and you insert alert(urlWindow) after the window.open above, you see that an object is not returned. However, if you assign url the value of a local document, like c:\My Documents\index.html, an object is returned. In either case, the new window is opened, but if you have a window.focus() method after the window.open () method, the user will see ...Show All

• Visual Studio Lost icons in toolbox.

  My insallation of vs2005 standard is acting funny. Some time ago, some of the icons in the toolbox got lost. In the tab "common controls" the controls from "button" to "numericupdown" had no more icon in front of it. A couple of weeks later the icons "repaired" themselve, but they were al numericupdown-icons... I tried the repair-feature of the installation-discs, but the icons remained unchanged. They are still all numericupdown icons Is there anyone who had this same problem Is there a fix Let me know please.

• SQL Server Trapping validation errors and sending email

  I have a DTS package that I'm moving over to SSIS. In place of migrating this package, I've choosen to recreate it. This package moves data from an Informix database to a SQL database. In the old package the first task was to make a simple connection to the Informix database and if the task failed, it would send an email and stop the package. The biggest reason for this is because the Unix server that I'm getting the Informix data from forces the user passwords to be reset ever 90 days. So in my old package, if I forgot to change the password and the connection started to fail it would send me an email. In my new package, SSIS performs a validation before starting. There are a number of task that uses the connection to the Informi ...Show All

  When running in windowed mode, this doesn't seem to do anything. When set to true, the mouse state coords do not update when the mouse is outside the window. Am I misinterpreting what it's supposed to do It seems like to do scrolling where your mouse is outside the window bounds, you'd need to know that fact. There is another big problem, for example: device.GraphicsDevice.SetCursorPosition(1,1,false) does not work, so i cant create normal camera model :((( or may be i do something wrong.... ...Show All

  Hi The rules I've made seem to work just fine as I get the warnings from Visual Studio when I build, however when I look for the rules in the Properties window I see only the name of the dll and no rules below it. When I compile against the 1.35 versions of the dlls the rules shows up nicely in the stand-alone FxCop.

• Visual Studio Team System Ordered Tests sometimes loses one of the manual tests

  I have 1 solution with 3 projects I have several manual tests. I have created several ordered tests which contain a combination of my manual tests. Here is the problem: Hours after I have created an ordered test I find that it has a red line thru it. When I open up the ordered test, I see that one or more of my manual tests are ghosted. I also notice that they seem not to know what project they live in. So, I fix my ordered test my removing the orphaned manual tests and finding it in the left side and adding it to the existing ordered tests. Also you should know that on the left side that my tests seem strange. While I am able to find the manual tests to move over to my ordered tests....I see the same test name but it thinks it is ...Show All
