• Jakein2006 VSTO Addin unload?

  Hi, I have developed vsto addin that has a button on toolbar and custom menu options at context menu. The problem I have is periodically main button stops working (when you click on it nothing happens) custom menu options doesn't show at all (I'm using CommandBars_OnUpdate event to insert my menu options) it looks like Outlook unload my addin or addin does not receive any events from Outlook. When you close/open Outlook addin starts working again. Has anyone noticed same behavior with Outlook especially when you run Outlook for a long time 2-3 days Thanks Initially i was declaring buttons inside method and found out they stops working after couple of minutes, then i declared them as cl ...Show All

• Geokri Group by 2 Columns

  Is there a short way to group a queryable by 2 Columns For example : var Arsiv = from ec in lbDB.Entries , group ec by ec.EntryDate.Year, ec.EntryDate.Month select new {Month=g.Month,EntryCount=g.Count}; This is not a valid query i think. How should i write this query I want to Select months and entryCounts by months. (think of a blog archive menu) I found the answer in previous posts Like this : -------------- Yes, you can use an anonymous object initializer to create a multi-field key:     from c in db.Customers     group c by new { c.Country, c.City } into g     select new { g.Key.Country, g.Key.City, Count = g.Count() }; ...Show All

• Donaghy XBAP and browser cookies (not working)

  When an XBAP application calls Application.GetCookies(), it throws an exception (due to no cookies). The browser window hosting the XBAP application does have cookies for the site. This is CRITICAL in developing an XBAP application that interacts with a web server - the forms authentication and session cookies need to be maintained between the initial browser request and the XBAP application that it is hosting. How can I get the XBAP and browser to use the same cookies Is your XBAP deployed as a top-level app or within an IFRAME Currently there is no support for (even first-party) XBAPs within IFRAME accessing or persisting cookies. However, if your XBAP is accessed as top-level content in the browser (i ...Show All

• Davids Learning Adding Web Reference in VS 2005 to WCF Service

  Hello, As I’ve found out yesterday, it’s important to create a proxy class for ‘WCF web service’ using svcutil.exe even though it uses 'basicHttpBinding'. If one does it through VS2005's 'add web service' routine, the created proxy allows passing string fields only. All value types doesn't go through. I mean the proxy class looks correct with all fields having correct types. But when I attach the debugger to the WS I see default values only for types like int, short, DateTime etc. Am I doing something wrong nefis Please see my blog post at http://blogs.msdn.com/eugeneos/archive/2007/02/05/solving-the-disappearing-data-issue-when-using-add-web-reference-or-wsdl-exe-with-wcf-services. ...Show All

• Maartin Setting Window.Icon to Vista 256x256 PNG icon causes a FileFormatException

  If I set the Icon property to a Vista icon, I get a FileFormatException stating that the image format is unrecognized. If I try the same thing with an old Windows XP icon (without PNG compressed images) it works correctly. I simply cannot believe that WPF doesn't support Vista icons. Asbjorn Can you email me the PNG file When you save the icon file with a 256x256x32 size picture without PNG-compressing the picture, WPF seems to be able to cope with it. For example in Axialis Icon Studio you can rightclick the icon and disable the PNG-compression. I reckon there are other tools to do the same thing out there somewhere. Any ideas ...Show All

• Derek Dowle VSTO v3 CTP

  Hi I'm Mr Grumpy this morning especially since I just started upgrading my dev environment to look at the latest WinFX CTP. Looking at the latest VSTO v3 download page it seems that all is in vain since one has to install the Feb version of WinFX which I had to uninstall to use the July WinFX CTP (you see where this is going right ) So... down to the question and don't worry, I suffer from chronic bouts of foot-in-mouth, is there ANY way that between your teams you can co-ordinate a little better. Perhaps delegating a liason guy that sits with someone briefing from the WinFX and/or other guys on a Friday exchanging issues - yes the old fashioned way - for feedback to the VSTO guys on a Monday, perhaps in report / memo / advisory / ...Show All

• Duke of URL Not sure why this does not work

  I am somewhat new to WCF so please bear with me. Using the July CTP (i have downloaded the RC but not installed it yet), I built a service but did not get it to work the way i would have expected. I am sure i am missing something so any insight as to the "proper" way to do it would be greatly appreciated. I started by creating a ASP.NET Web service project and deleting the unnecessary files. I then added a class, added the appropriate references and added the necessary code to teh class and web.config. I then manually created a IIS Virtual directory and published the WCF service to that directory. Using IE, i hit the service which gave me the "you have created a service" page in order to test my service. I then us ...Show All

• PabloWablo Readonly compartment

  Hi, Did anyone already find how to make a compartment in a compartment shape readonly (The compartment contains items added by an addrule when the compartment shape is added to the designer). What I mean is to hide the 'Add new xxx' menu command. I found overrides for the delete command but not for the add command. Regards, W. Hi Edward, Many thanks for your feedback. Before I start removing things I'd like to know what their purpose is. Element merge directives still represent a black spot in my knowledge. I have no clue what they are used for. So if you have more info on this (help file is a bit vague ;)) or can provide me with a pointer I would appreciate it. Kind regards, W. Jansoone Hi, You can remo ...Show All

• Mehmet Metin Altuntas Can I edit localy and upload changed version when doing check in

  I don't know if SourceSafe can do this, but how can I create a SourceSafe project that targets a project (web or win forms) stored on a server, so when the developer will be working on this project, he will get the latest version (download files to his computer), check out some files to block update on the server files that he is making changes, compile and run locally, and after testing he will check in and automatically upload files back to the server. Can SourceSafe or any source control software do this If no, what is the best way to work on a team environment where a project is stored on a server and everybody needs to have the working builds and debug from its own machine without compiling code that is still in development by othe ...Show All

• Ronghwa How to transfer a string to double such as "12.6533" to 12.6533 in javascript?

  How to transfer a string to double such as "12.6533" to 12.6533 in javascript Try parseFloat(" 12.6533 "); it even works on obscure strings like: parseFloat("12.4 px") -> 12.4 Javascript is not Java, it's a different thing.
