First step for windows development is like other type of developments i.e. Prepare your system for development First step is to install Visual Studio 2010.

There are ways to optimize your views i.e. by adding indexes on your views. In order to achieve this tunning you shoudl first create view with Schema binding. This is very Simple see SQL below. CREATE VIEW [dbo].[vw_sampleView] WITH SCHEMABINDING AS Select * from tbl_Sample i.e. You just need to add bold text while creating your views. This will allow you to define index on your views which will result as tunned queries to your databases.

If you go through demo Video of Bizagi you can easily get started with Bizagi in 50-10 minutes. As I was evaluating it in a way where I have to run processes on exisiting data already in another database. I was searching for functionality keeping in mind that this is a normal case for each and every one except most of information that will be available on forms will be coming for external databases and Bizagi was not an exception. There is a WIKI on their website that explains how to integrate Bizagi with external datasources which is very good and will help to understand this concept of Replication and Virtualization very well. have a look at this link and you will definately find it interesting :) All you need to do is to make sure that your data types are supported by Bizagi. BTW it support most of the commonly used data types you may see details here In case your table contain columns that are not supported by Bizagi you may use set of supported columns using Schema bind...

I was during a research and impress by a workflow engine implemented at manay places. Bizagi workflow also placed in Visionaries quarant by Gartner in 2010 Gartner report. Good thing about this BPM that an evaluation version is freely available. Do try I hope you will like it ;) http://www.bizagi.com

If you are using Window 7 Home Edition you may found on http://www.microsoft.com/virtualpc  site that you are not eligible for WindowsXP mode version which leaves a false impression that you are not eligible for installation of Virtual PC.

You may expect issue similar to error mentioned below while upgrading your crystal report project. CS0433: The type 'CrystalDecisions.Web.CrystalReportViewer' exists in both 'c:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.Web\ __692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.Web.dll' and 'c:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\CrystalDecisions.Web\ __692fbea5521e1304\CrystalDecisions.Web.dll' Above issues can be easily fix by updating web.config file. As above issues may come if assemblies section of web.config still contains entries with old crystal report version

While ajaxifying our asp.net page we face strange error. i.e. Page call work first time and second time ajax call fail with following javascript error. Microsoft JScript runtime error: Sys.InvalidOperationException: Could not find UpdatePanel with ID ' '. If it is being updated dynamically then it must be inside another UpdatePanel. This was very strange as we used similar approach in another application that was using old version of telerik controls. We decided to google it and check this in telerik knowledge base. All documentation was pointing toward single code error i.e. We are setting .Visible property of ajax update control to false in first call which cause this error in second ajax call. This was not the case with us. After investing a lot of time in this issues we found out the solution which is was fairly simple and logical :) The issue was that ajax control (control triggering ajax call ) was not added as ajax updat control. Adding ajax control in Ajax control...
