    - About IMAPI v2.0 in Vista Dear all, Thanks for your great efforts to make IMAPI v2.0 available on WinXP. This is a significant progress for the IMAPI users. From previous posts of people who interested in IMAPI 2.0, there are many requests for more features or improvements. Is it possible to reveal the ongoing working items or improvements to us (IMAPI users) May we know the rough update "plan" Would the update of IMAPI 2.0 be included in the coming Vista SP1 If Yes, then what are the most significant improvements of IMAPI 2.0 in the coming Vista SP1 Hope you guys could help this question. Thank you again. Tag: Optical Platform Discussion Launch the CD burning wizard from code, in Vista Software Development for Windows Vista

    - Workflow application working in one comp but not in another Hello, My problem is the following: I have an ASP.NET application with a validation workflow inside. It uses the membership and roles mechanisms provided by ASP. In my computer the application works perfect, the workflow starts, does all its job and completes successfully, but when I move the application to another computer the workflow aborts after saving some changes to the database. The workflow starts, gets 2 different events (start and save) and then calls an external method to save changes to database. It saves those changes (I checked the DB and it's OK), and then aborts. The problem is that when the workflow aborts it doesnt give any exception message, so I have no idea what the problem is, and as it works perfectly in my computer I suppose it must be something to do with the comp configuration. I checked the machine.config and removed the parts referring to membership, roles and profile providers, as I have them in my web.config, but still doesn't work. I don't know what else I can check... Please give me some advice! Thanks, Ruben Tag: Optical Platform Discussion Launch the CD burning wizard from code, in Vista Software Development for Windows Vista

    - Cd DVD drives disappear in Vista I have one Lightscribe DVD burner, and I use Alcohol %120 as a virtual drive (the latest version). Problem: when I reboot the PC, sometimes both drives disappear, and in device manager they are listed as having no drivers installed. I cannot uninstall Alcohol, as i get the message "adapter is locked". no restore procedures fix this.I can not use system restore, I cannot backup from an image file using windows backup. I can not do a clean install of vista, formatting the drive and then restoring a image backup, this too fails!(it installs but still no drives listed!) This is all new hardware. I am stumped, as this defies all logic. Please help! Tag: Optical Platform Discussion Launch the CD burning wizard from code, in Vista Software Development for Windows Vista

    - Graphics issues for DX7/8/9 code, application can't start due to missing d3drm.dll? After some testing with code based on versions of DirectX prior to 10, I continually run into this error message being displayed and haulting the application. Simple C++ (DX 7/8/9 SDK) stuff, so it's strange this occurs. I'm wondering if it might actually be driver related or something. Does anyone know what the d3drm.dll is and why Vista would report it's missing for legacy applications Thanks.

    - Windows Workflow Foundation Web Approvals Starter Kit Released Paul Andrew, our Product Manager, just announced the release of the first of a set of starter kits we have coming for WF and WCF on .NET Framework 3.0. These are planned to help developers new to these technologies to get started on their first project faster. The starter kits are not supported by Microsoft but include full source code to common scenarios examples. Windows Workflow Foundation Web Workflow Approvals Starter Kit This starter kit is a Visual Studio 2005 project that demonstrates using Windows Workflow Foundation for simple task oriented workflow in an ASP.NET web application in a minimal number of lines of code. A workflow model is used to automate work order requests at a small example company. It includes three pre-defined roles which each play a part in the work order creation, approval and monitoring. The starter kit may be modified for other workflow models to suit other small web based task management systems. This starter kit can be downloaded from MSDN here . Once installed you can create a new project from the template and press F5 to start the application. This is a great way to try out workflow enabled applications yourself.

    - Unpleasant surprise after installing Visual Studio SP1 Dear all, Beware of installing Visual Studio SP1 if you have Workflow Foundation Extensions for Visual Studio installed. Everything looks ok until you try to create a new workflow. At this point, the binding of activity properties to dependency properties refuses to work. None of the dependency properties appear as valid choices for binding to. Also, the workflow snippets no longer work. There is a simple solution to these woes: Run the Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation setup program and Repair your installation. This is not mentioned anywhere in the VS2005 SP1 release notes. Tag: Optical Platform Discussion Launch the CD burning wizard from code, in Vista Software Development for Windows Vista

    - Audio glitching, audioDG to hit 25% CPU Hi I've got this annoying problem since the release of Win Vista Ultimate RTM (32bit). When i play audio,games/movies the Audiodg.exe uses 25-30% of the cpu every 30th second or so. This have an BIG effect on the sound, wich crackles every time audiodg uses more than 0% of the cpu. i have noticed that when i play audio in media player 11, the crackling sound is gone, even when audiodg loads the cpu.. This is not heping for games, and movies. These problems did not occour in the beta or rc1-2 releases of Vista Ultimate.

    - 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 Hi I've written a custom activity which I'm using in my workflow. This custom activity lives in it own assembly. I'm using the SQL persistence service and the SQL tracking service. The persistence service is working fine but the tracking service throws and exception when I try to access the ActivityEvents property of the SqlTrackingWorkFlowInstance. The exception is Type information for activity 'alertActivity1.GenerateToDoList' was not found in the database. The type may have been changed without versioning the assembly. Is this due to the tracking service not being able to find my assembly Do I need to tell it where to find it If so, how do I do this Or perhaps I need to do something with my custom activity so it gets persisted correctly It inherits from SequenceActivity Tag: Optical Platform Discussion Launch the CD burning wizard from code, in Vista Software Development for Windows Vista

    - managed cards Hi, i'm creating some test apps using cardspace. When I use personal cards i have no problem to manage what I need. My problems start when i try to work with managed cards. I prepare Webservice (using WCF) which need managed card to authenticate. When i call this service CARDSPACE UI appears and my managed card is only card which can be selected (this is what I suppose what it will do). However, when i choose this managed card i see preview of card with marked required claims. Claims resources are blank (of course, i don't enter any value). CardSpace UI dialog tells me to use Retrive button. When I do this error in form of dialog appears. In dialog there is something like this: The personal card that is used for authentication of the managed card cannot be found. If you have a backup file containing the missing personal card, restore the card. For additional information, contact the card provider.

    - Now available: Feed Viewer beta gadget for Windows SideShow The Windows SideShow team has just released the Feed Viewer beta gadget, which lets you view your favorite RSS feed content on your Windows SideShow devices. As with all other Windows SideShow gadgets, you can download this gadget from the Windows Live Gallery . Since this is a beta gadget, as you download, install and try it out, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the experience and your suggestions on what we can do to improve this gadget for its final release. Please post your feedback here. Note that there are a few known issues with the Feed Viewer beta gadget that you should be aware of as you try it out: 1. When you enable a new feed on your Windows SideShow device, it may take up to two minutes for the device to be populated with content from that feed. If you don��t see updated content for a new feed after two minutes, try viewing the feed in Internet Explorer on your PC and pressing the F5 key to refresh the feed. If that doesn��t work, try restarting your PC. 2. The most up-to-date content for your feeds may not always appear on your Windows SideShow device. This is because the Windows Vista RSS platform updates each feed��s content every 24 hours by default. If you��d like certain feeds to be refreshed on your device more often than that, you��ll need to change this setting for each such feed on your PC: In Internet Explorer, view the feed whose update frequency you want to increase Click ��View feed properties�� on the right side of the page Change the ��Update schedule�� setting to the update frequency you desire Additionally, if you are viewing feed content on a laptop that has a Windows SideShow in-lid display, you may need to increase the automatic wake frequency: Go to Windows SideShow in Control Panel Select ��Set my computer to wake automatically�� Enable the ��Automatically wake my computer�� checkbox and change the wake frequency 3. When many feeds are enabled on your Windows SideShow device, some content may be missing, even for feeds that are not new. This may happen if you have many feeds enabled on your device, and is symptomatic of your device not having enough cache space to store content from all your feeds. To remedy this, you��ll need to lower the number of feeds enabled on your device. 4. On Windows Sideshow basic devices, feeds may take a while to appear in the gadget home screen. Restarting your PC will usually resolve this issue. If that doesn��t work, try disabling and re-enabling the gadgets on your device.

It seems to be a solution to copy the files to burn to the staging area, and then launch the burning wizard. So my question is that how can I lunch the CD burning wizard from C# code in Vista

Hello Tamas,

There is currently no UI element in the IMAPI API. The burning wizard is part of the shell32.dll code for explorer.exe.

Your request for a generic UI/wizard to call is however interesting to us. Could you share with us further information regarding your project / company (Feel free to use optissue@microsoft.com to pursue this conversation.)

Best regards.

David Burg.
