    - Pass data from a "Window Application" project to Workflow project I use Sequential WF & I've many "Code Activites" in the WF . Problem: I need a particular "Code Activity " to be processed when a specified event fired in the "Window Application" project . Details : I pass data btw 2 projects""Window Application project" & "Workflow Project". When an event fired,in "Window Application project" , I send data to Workflow using parameters using: Code Snippet WorkflowRuntime wr = new WorkflowRuntime (); wr.StartRuntime(); In that way the whole Workflow will be executed from beginning to end w/o stopping . BUT I don't need the whole Workflow to be executed ,just a specific activity. I've read that I can overcome that problem by sending the event & the arguments to the Workflow,But I couldn't understand it well.

    - Vista ultimate features list Unfortunately, this doesn't answer my question.

    - Vista task scheduler and console-application: How to start it visible? Hi. I made a C#-console-application. I want to start the application by the windows task scheduler. The application should be visible while it's executed to show debug- and progress-information. This works fine when starting the app from console or explorer. It works as well when starting the app from the taskplaner of WinXP. But under Vista, the app runs, but no console-window shows up. What could be the problem I couldn't find any switch in the task scheduler to tell Vista to run the application visible. Do I have to do something in my application Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL? Software Development for Windows Vista

    - Extract values from persisted workflow without instanciate it Yes. Passing a Dictionary to the workflow like the example you wrote was exactly what I meant. I had already seen the sample you point me, but I didn't paid much attention to it... Yesterday I looked at it carefully and I was able to query the Track DB and return the Args parameters I inserted in the HandleExternalEvent. But what I really wanted was to query the Track DB to get the initial values inserted in the workflow that wasn't passed through a HandleExternalEvent event. My workflow was like this: CodeActivity HandleExternalActivity CodeActivity HandleExternalActivity CodeActivity HandleExternalActivity CodeActivity I used to start it this way: // Create WFRuntime of type Distribution BaseClass baseClass = new BaseClass(); this.workflowRuntime = baseClass.createWFRuntime(this); // Instanciate events on Runtime this.InstanciateEvents(workflowRuntime); // Create Values Dictionary Dictionary<string, object> properties = new Dictionary<string, object>(); properties.Add("FromProviderID", fromProviderID); properties.Add("ToProviderID", toProviderID); properties.Add("ItemsList", itemsList); // Define type of workflow Type type = typeof(Distribution); //Create WFInstance from WFRuntime, WFGuid, WFType, WFDictionary this.workflowInstance = this.createWFInstance(workflowRuntime, guid, type, properties); if (wfGuid.Equals(Guid.Empty) || wfGuid.Equals(null)) { workflowInstance = wfRuntime.CreateWorkflow(type, properties); } else { wfRuntime.StartRuntime(); wfRuntime.GetWorkflow(wfGuid); workflowInstance = wfRuntime.GetWorkflow(wfGuid); } if (guid.Equals(Guid.Empty)) this.workflowInstance.Start(); else this.workflowInstance.Resume(); (Some of this code was in separated classes and I put it all together just to give an idea of what I'm trying to do...) Now I added a HandleExternalActivity at the beginning and started the workflow without sending any parameters when creating and starting the workflow. In the method I start the workflow I raise the first event that is handled by the HandleExternalEvent and pass the properties Dictionary I used to pass at the beginning in the event. Like this I'm able to track the information I need only by querying the DB. The first approach I used seems simpler to me. But it was unable to fulfil my needs. Was it a wrong approach or it can be done in any other way Thanks for your help Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL? Software Development for Windows Vista

    - About IMAPI v2.0 in Vista Hi David, Thanks for your update. I would ask the above question because there is no page like "Change Log" in interface documentation. When I find the build date is updated, I could not be sure which/where the pages in documentation were changed... Is it possible to create a page for change log tracking for easier understanding of documentation Many thanks. Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL?

    - Workflow application working in one comp but not in another Hello, Thanks Angel for your reply. I've tried subscribing to that event, but the workflow still aborts and the ServicesExceptionNotHandled event never comes up, so still have no clue. What you said about the persistence, the thing is that in my computer it works and persists perfectly, problems only occur when I try the program in another computer. But I've tried it in a 3rd computer and it works perfectly too, so I suppose it might be something about the configuration of the comp where it fails... Any ideas Thanks again, Ruben Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL? Software Development for Windows Vista

    - Graphics issues for DX7/8/9 code, application can't start due to missing d3drm.dll? Ok, after further investigation, it turns out this is related to Windows Vista dropping support for ALL retained mode applications. Why this was done, who knows. But if you get this error message, you can restore compatibility for most retained mode applications by simply placing the D3DRM.DLL file (available on any modern Windows XP setup in the \system32 directory) in the Windows\system32 directory. This allowed the retained mode applications I had to work again with Beta 2. If Microsoft wants to avoid users reporting this problem, they can simply include that DLL with the operating system like they did with previous versions of Windows.

    - GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXPADDEDBORDER ); Hey! I'm upgrading a Win2K/XP MFC/Win32 (no .NET) application to give it a more modern look and feel when running in Vista. I use Visual Studio 2005 C++ and have the February 2003 Platform SDK loaded. The application uses a CDialogBar derived class with an override added for CalcDynamicLayout() so that the dialog bar will always take up all available vertical or horizontal space in the main frame depending on its orientation. The calculation to figure out how much space is available is off by the new border padding used by the Aero theme so the dialog bar is getting cut off on the right side. If I could just get my hands on the size of that border padding, I could subtract it out and get the correct available size. After digging on MSDN, I found that the GetSystemMetrics() call was updated for Vista, providing a new index, SM_CXPADDEDBORDER, to get that size. Since I have the Feb 2003 SDK loaded, SM_CXPADDEDBORDER isn't defined so I added my own #define to set it to 92, which is the number shown in the documentation on http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724385.aspx . The DLL involved is user32.dll. The documentation also states that if the function fails, the return value is 0. My problem is that I'm ALWAYS getting 0, even when running on Vista. I would have thought that the user32.dll supplied with Vista should support this call. Has anyone else run into this Anyone have any clues or suggestions Thanks!

    - Custom activities and tracking OK, I see. I'm not really handling versioning correctly at the moment, and I'm getting quite good at rebuilding my database! So the tracking service should handle versioning issues for me, so long as I actually do the right thing at my end Does that mean I can actually use the tracking service without having my workflow assemblies available Is this also true of the persistence service Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL?

    - Com+ ServicedComponent : Service always running When you configure the class to run in a server process, the COM+ runtime will create your component inside a dllhost.exe process. Server applications in COM+ have a property that defines how long they should remain running while idle, where idle is defined as "there are no component objects currently instantiated". By default, I believe server applications will remain running for 3 minutes while idle before they are shutdown by the COM+ runtime. This can be modified by going into Component Services, navigating to the application under Computers->My Computer->COM+ Applications->the application name. Right click on the application name and select "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, there is a section titled "Server Process Shutdown", with two radio buttons. One says "Leave running when idle" and the other says "Enable idle shutdown" with a text box containing the number of minutes the process should remain idle before being shutdown. You can modify the number of minutes to a smaller number. I honestly don't know if a value of 0 is allowed. You can manually shutdown the server application by right-clicking on the application name and selecting "Shutdown". But you should be sure the components aren't being used by any application or the application(s) will encounter an error. The reason COM+ leaves an idle server application running for some period is because process startup is expensive. The theory is that these server applications will be used over and over again. To avoid having to restart the process after short idle periods, there is this idle shutdown timeout value. Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL?

    - IMAPI v1 Shim source code Hi Henry, Thanks for your response. I can understand that the shim source may be, in some cases, an example of how _not_ to use IMAPIv2. A couple things got me thinking about this: 1. The shim code appeared to be failing when writing DVDs on Vista. This is why we started looking at IMAPIv2, however, IMAPIv2 seems to have some problems as well such as not being available for XP without a separate install, and the issue in my post "imapi2sample with multisession UDF...". It would be nice to have some insight into why the IMAPIv1 implementation wasn't working for DVDs on Vista. Perhaps I'll post a question about this. 2. The shim code appears to detect when a disc has been formatted as "Live File System" (in IDiscMaster: etActiveDiscRecorder), but I can't find a way of doing this in IMAPIv2. If I could detect "Live File System" formatted discs and avoid trying to burn them, this would help me to make my IMAPIv2 code shippable, although, ideally, we'd like to be able to write to "Live File System" formatted discs. By the way, I really appreciate this forum and your and your colleagues' willingness to respond to posts. Regards, Brooks Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL?

    - managed cards Well, problem was wrong PPID, I forgot to rewrite it from my other experimets. However, after clicking on retrieve or send cardspace ui screen appears with this message : Your data could not be retrieved from the managed card provider. Check your connection, and verify that you have supplied the correct authentication credentials. I'm not sure if I prepare my provider in right way. Could you post here some links to documents where can I found samples and tutorials to managed cards. I query google but no useful answer in short time and I'm too bussy to read all related pages. I can describe my scenario what I want from managed cards. User is asked for login to service. User uses managed card with his(her) name and group membership (my own claim). Cardpace UI appears and user click on proper card. Card goes to managed card provider where are stored values for requested claims. If user have " suitable " personal card, managed card is filled with values and send back to user where is resend to webservice. User is now logged in.

The constant FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL is referenced in various places like the on-line MSDN documentation for WIN32_FIND_DATA. However, it is not defined in any include files (should be in WinBase.h). This is with VS2005 with sp1 and sp1 vista update installed.

I have a problem with FindFirstFile() that might be resolved if I could check that attribute. Can anyone provide the numeric value of it
