• MA2005 Looking for a property creater

  Hi, Just curious to wether there is a quicker way to create properties in 2005, I've seen the code snippet for properties but I'm wondering if there is anything that can do it quicker. An idea would be to only have to define the variables and then a macro of some sort would create the Properties. Any ideas Mat I think snippet is the fastest way. Macro is another good idea, but you have to write yourself to access VS accessibility layer (DTE stuff) which may not be very easy to code. . Thats quality, I'm well on the way now but you any ideas how i could start a macro of by selecting text and then running it and having access to that text in the macro Mat ...Show All

• daxu Problem saving graphics to a file

• Peto_SVK plugin made from VBA script

  Hello! I created a macro for Outlook 2003 which loads data from a txt file and create a new contact from that data. I can add a button to that macro to the outlook toolbar manually, but my question is how can i make a plugin for Outlook with setup or sth like that. I mean sth like SalesForce.

• debraj dhar IDE Broken -> Doesn't display error

  At some point something I installed (I suspect Resharper) broke the IDE. When I am running my code in the debugger if an error occurs the code stops, highlights the problem line but no text pops up to tell me what the error is. Without having to do a full reinstall does anyone know what may have been disabled or changed to cause this Thanks, Shane The problem is gone.

• SarasMax efficient storing and programming for data (moving from another forum)

  Rebuilding an application from DOS to Visual Basic, I have several questions, mainly concerning storing the (relational) data (SQL). If I want to reuse code, I could use classes. I.e.: there are employees, customers, company's. They all have names, adresses, phone numbers, etc. I could build a class with these fields and create other classes which reference to this one. But how do I save the data stored in the objects created from the classes to an SQL server By programming to populate each and every field of database with the data in the objects This doesn't seem very efficient. And if I add a field, I have to rewrite the code. Could you just store the entire object as a record in the database Databinding is another option, but then I al ...Show All

• Jolly Joker FTP Using IP Address Through VisualBasic 2005 Programming

  Hi , My requirement is to develop an application which could receive (get) file from Mainframe ( which supports FTP using it's IP address ) . Currently , I have designed the application in VisualBasic , such that it creates a batch (.bat) file dynamically ( based on the user inputs , i.e., user-id , password ... ) and the bat file will be invoked and executed in the background. In this methodology , I was not able to provide the progressbar showing the status of file transfer. But , instead of doing in the above manner , I think it could be more effectively done through VisualBasic 2005 Programming itself ( without the help of bat files ) , if so please kindly help me out , how to accomplish this in a better way .
