• Software Development for Windows Vista Workflow Monitor RTM Version

  I have installed the Release Version of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 and the WF Extensions for VS 2005. I also have the Windows SDK for a older version of the WinFX Framework. In this SDK the Workflow Monitor was included. This version although, does not work with the Release version. I always get the Error "Exception in GetWorkflows". Could anyone send my the newest version of the Workflow Monitor, or at least tell me where to download. And I dont want to download the whole Windows SDK just to get that darn Monitor. Thanks I'm having this error: "can't find the assembly WorkflowLibrary1, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null"... was this the error you where ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Compile Error: The name 'graphics' does not exist in the current context

  I created a new project using the XNA template and then started coding away using the 'Your first XNA Game' documentation. I created the moving sprite that the tutorial talks about but then I was going to add a second sprite, I thought it would be better to move all of my sprite code into a seperate class and just create two variables of that class instead of duplicating a bunch of code. When I move my sprite code into the class I get the following error. Error 1 The name 'graphics' does not exist in the current context 'XNAsteroids\Game\CShip.cs' 36 45 XNAsteroids I changed the Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Components.GraphicsComponent variable from private to public in an attempt to access it from a seperate class CShip.cs this is m ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Stateful Operation Selection (No OperationContext in IDispatchOperationSelector)

  Hi, You can implement the IDispatchOperationSelector interface to customize the way operations are selected to which incoming messages are dispatched. In my implementation, the selection of the operation depends on the session and is thus for each client different (depending on their respective session state). Unfortunately, the session does not yet seem to exist at the time the SelectOperation() method is called by WCF, i.e. OperationContext.Current is null. However, I need to access the OperationContext because I've stored my stateful information in there on which my operation selection depends. Anybody an idea, how I can access the session state anyway at this point Cheers, patric Hi David, No, there i ...Show All

• Visual Studio SandCastle See_Also Reference/Members Section

  I'm using SandCastle December 2006 CTP with the SandCastle GUI and am trying to determine how to automatically create a help file with the "reference" section under the "See Also" section. An example of what I'm looking for can be found at: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.compression.gzipstream.aspx Scroll to the bottom of the page, where the "See Also" section starts. Here, you can see the "Reference" section which contains a link to the class members. I'm trying to determine how to automatically create this section with Sandcastle. I don't want to add a "See Also" section for each C# class and link it to an external page -- I'd like Sandcastle to simply create t ...Show All

• .NET Development Web Service: What approach should be taken to return "UNRELATED EXTRA DATA" from web method as response

  Hello People, I am working in a web application where business operations are exposed as Web Services (internal at present) and the Web Client consumes the web service for ALL activities. Of course, there is a business layer that executes the functionality. All the web service does is to accept and validate the request, invoke the relevant business method(s) and return the operation response. One of the tricky situations I facing now is to return "Unrelated Extra Data" as response to an operation. I will explain this with an example... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Consider "Customers" and "Contacts" for each customer. A Customer has details such as address, web sit ...Show All

How can I achieve this Hi!

• Visual Studio Express Editions Question about converting data types

  Good day, I'm having a little problem in C# while reading from a binary file. What I am trying to do is get the decimal value of 2 bytes of hex data, i.e. "0008" in hex would become 8 in decimal data. Problem is, whenever I try to read it it outputs 2048 or something similar, at least not the number I am looking for, which means I should be doing something wrong... Do you have any idea to get a right number out of this My current reading code: -------------------------------- private int packageType; // Nothing interesting to see here either map = new FileStream (url, FileMode .Open, FileAccess .ReadWrite, FileShare .ReadWrite); BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader (map); map.Seek(0, SeekOri ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Method to change properties in several requests at once

  I'm recording some web tests that have as many as 62 top level requests in each test. Due to a web analytics tool failing each step of the test, I need to set the Parse Dependent Requests to false on each request. While I can go into each request and set the parsing, this seems a bit tedious. I don't see anything in this forum or in the library on how to grab multiple requests and then set the parsing in a single stroke. Can this be done Thanks. Rick, That worked. Nice quick way to do a global change. That said, it would be nice to have the feature in the tool to begin with. Perhaps the next service pack. Bruce ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Lost Ability to play wav file

It has worked for 8 years just fine, what setting did I change that I don't remember This code works from the command window, a prg, or the design mode.  It will even work with set step on, but the chr(7) is completely ignored during normal execution.
