• SarathChandar Word 2003 Add-in using VSTO 2005 SE - Action Pane - Runtime error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

  This error is thrown when the ActionPane.Controls.Add(UserControl) method is called in the add-in startup subroutine. Both the ActionPane variable and the UserControl variable have been instantiated at the beginning of the class "ThisAddIn". The exception (System.NullReferenceException) goes on to give the following breakdown: at Microsoft.Office.Tools.ActionsPaneInternal.HookUpSmartPane() at Microsoft.Office.Tools.DockableControlCollection.Add(Control Value) ........ Any ideas You should not instantiate an ActionsPane yourself. Instead, you should use the ActionsPane object that VSTO instantiates for you.

• Chuck Cobb System.ServiceModel not showing up in the GAC

  Hi All! When I try to add the System.ServiceModel as a reference, it is not visible in the ".NET" tab of the "Add Reference" dialog.

• pc_bond WPF/.Net Framework 3.0 NavigationService and Proxy Authentication

  Hi there In WPF/.Net Framework 3.0, how do I get the NavigationService.Navigate( Uri ) method to use the client's web proxy settings The client is required to go through the proxy for the Uri in question and, in Internet Explorer, the settings are all configured correctly. Also, I have tried it, but, the following machine.config entry does not make a jot of difference. < system.net > < defaultProxy enabled = " true " useDefaultCredentials = " true " /> </ system.net > I cannot see any properties/methods on the NavigationService class that would allow the proxy settings to be programmatically set.

Is it working Setting the Z-Order by itself doesn't fix things. You have to re-order the NestedChildShapes of the diagram.

• Hi_i_am_Amit Transform a WCF contract to a xml message

  Hi, I have a entity which is decorated with WCF DataContractAttribute to make it serializable. By marking the class and methods with this attribute serialisation is done automatically.

• scharland Styling Brushes

  It appears that there is no way to apply a style to a Brush (such as SolidColorBrush) -- the style property is seemingly non-existant. Is there any reason/workaround for this Thanks! Styling is an element feature (Style is a property of FrameworkElement), so not available on brushes. But brushes to some extent do support some dynamic features, such as databinding and resource references. If you can give an example, there might be a workaround. The best solution is to style the element, and animate the brush's opacity from there. Then the issue you run into is that you can't specify a property path in a setter, e.g. you can't do "<Setter Property="Fi ...Show All

• Pon t3h pony Visual Studio Hangs - Need to restart IIS

  We have installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional on a development server. Occasionally VS hangs. The only quick fix we have found is to restart IIS. Obviously we do not want to have to do this each time it hangs. Any idea what is causing the problem IIS is locked up too when this occurs. So, not sure which is hanging up first. Either way, I need to do an iisreset/ through the command prompt. TRU VS hangs when I open an .aspx file. By default it opens in source mode. It always seems to hang when first opening the first file in VS. If it opens and does not hang, VS will run fine. TRU TRU927 wrote: VS hangs w ...Show All
