      • 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.

      • 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

  • IMAPI v1 Shim source code

      • Why not make the IMAPI v1 Shim source code available to developers (I may not be using the right name for this - I mean the IMAPI v1 implementation using IMAPI v2.) My understanding is that it's based on IMAPI2 which is already public, so I don't imagine it exposes any industry secrets that Microsoft doesn't want exposed. It would make a very nice body of sample code for IMAPI2. Regards, Brooks
