    - 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 Windows Vista - Generic Text Only Printer Software Development for Windows Vista

    - Extract values from persisted workflow without instanciate it Rather than trying to force the Tracking database to do something it wasn't really designed for, perhaps it would be better to create a separate database which holds the information you need (the contents of the Dictionary), using the workflow ID as a key. You can easily query this database to get lists of customers (workflows) that each of your users is responsible for, etc. When your workflow starts the first thing it would do would be to save the values of interest into this database. When the workflow ends you could delete them (or mark them in some way to indicate they are no longer active, or whatever is useful). If you find the need later to store more application specific information about each workflow you can just add more columns/tables to your own database. It seems better to treat the WF Tracking (and Persistence) databases as private storage used by the WF runtime, and handle any application-specific information in a separate database.

    - Workflow application working in one comp but not in another Try the following - 1. Look at the EventLogger to check for any errors since you strongly feel it has something to do with your machine. 2. Also subscribe to the WorkflowAborted eventhandlers and that might give you a better idea as to where the exception is happening. 3. Enable Tracking and Tracing and that should also help. Thanks, Kushal. Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues Windows Vista - Generic Text Only Printer Software Development for Windows Vista

    - Unpleasant surprise after installing Visual Studio SP1 Dear Kushal, I'm glad you can reproduce the issue with the workflow snippets. Having created a new Sequential Workflow, I set up some dependency properties by copying them from another workflow, then amending them to be correct for the new workflow. I then dragged a SqlDatabaseActivity out of the Toolbox, and tried to bind its properties to some of those dependency properties. However, none of the valid dependency properties were identified as being candidates to be bound, so this could not be done. The dependency properties that should have been candidates were of type string. After repairing the Workflow Extensions, everything worked as expected.

    - Audio glitching, audioDG to hit 25% CPU Absolutely wrong. This is NOT an issue with content protection. What audio and video hardware do you have Right now, we're tracking two main causes of glitching, the first is video drivers, the second is the Cool&Quite feature in some AMD processors. You might try disabling the Cool&Quite feature to see if it helps (it's just a guess). w.r.t. audiodg hitting 25% CPU, what kind of audio solution do you have If it's an HDAudio solution, you might consider trying disabling all the system effects and seeing if it helps your CPU consumption.

    - FILE_ATTRIBUTE_VIRTUAL? 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.

    - Launch the CD burning wizard from code, in Vista I need support for cd burning in my software, so I tried a couple of code samples using IMAPI, but It does not work on every Vista machine I tried. 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 Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues Windows Vista - Generic Text Only Printer Software Development for Windows Vista

    - 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!

    - IMAPI v1 Shim source code 1. IMAPIv1 does not support DVDs period. Whether it is using the original IMAPIv1 on XP or the shim on top of Vista's IMAPIv2. We assume IMAPIv1 applications were developped without DVD in mind thus introducing DVD underneath them with the shim would be risking regressions in these applications. 2. SetActiveDiscRecorder will validate it can write to the disc by testing if either it is blank or if an import file system succeeds. If both fail, it is not a disc that may be mastered. You should be able to easily do the same in your application. Then for writing using Live File System, you may simply use regular file access api from Win32 api.

    - Workflow Tracking performance issue Thanks for your reply. Actually, I've considered the option of adjusting the tracking profile so that I don't have that much data in the workflow events table. First, I'm not sure I won't need the persist and unloaded track points, they help in tracking what happened to the instance. Second, I have only two instances being tracked in the database, there's an indexed table with 25000 records, and a couple of joins performed over that data, does it have to be so slow What if I have dozens or hundreds of instances being tracked in the database I might change the tracking profile to minimize even more the quantity of data that gets into the database, but how do I track those instances then Tag: General Windows Vista Development Issues Windows Vista - Generic Text Only Printer Software Development for Windows Vista

I found Generic/Text Printer in Windows Vista. It does not appear when I click on Windows Update button and select Generic in list of Manufacturers.

While installing it ends up with "Printer not installed. unable to find a
core driver package that is required by the printer driver package" error message. I googled for this error and found similar error is resolved for some guys by deleting the INFCACHE.1 (corrupted) file in C:\Windows\INF folder.

I tried deleting this file but still the problem is not solved. Did any one find some another solution
