• De_Vaddrr VSTO 2.0 Excel Project Recurring Compile Error

  I have three Excel VSTO 2.0 projects in a single solution. When I build, I keep getting the following error in one of them: C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft.VisualStudio.OfficeTools.targets(96,9): error : The build process failed because all the worksheets in the workbook you are using in this solution are protected. Turn off the protection of at least one worksheet and then build again. The message returned is: Failed to add the customization. The other projects are essentially identical and never have this problem. I have cleaned out the projects, compared the .csproj files in notepad, nothing is different or out of place. The other worksheets in the other projects are protected in exactly the same manner. Further, when I unprote ...Show All

• Jonathan MacCollum Importing a DirectX mesh (.x file) into a Xaml file

  Hello, I'm trying to import a .x DirectX mesh in a Xaml file, using the MeshPrimitive3D tag as explained on http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/3D_in_XAML.asp which gives the following example: <code> <MeshPrimitive3D> <MeshPrimitive3D.Mesh> <Mesh3D XFile3DSource="TorusKnot.x"/> </MeshPrimitive3D.Mesh> </MeshPrimitive3D> </code> However this page is old (2004) and it seems that this tag does not exist anymore (I'm using the may CTP). I did not find a new equivalent tag do to the job, so I was begining to wonder of it was still possible at all. That would be nice.

• srendoherty Accessing ThisDocument from outside using Word Object Model

  Hello, Is there a way to access ThisDocument's methods and props from outside, e.g. from a Word VBA macro. Thanks, Andrew Hi Andrew Your specific requirement is still unclear, except that you're not using VSTO and should be asking in the office.developer.automation newsgroup . If you mean, can you work directly with Word's object model, the answer is yes. In order to use early-binding, you have to set a Reference to the specific Word version object library; late-binding is also a possibility and would be required for C# or VB.NET with Option Explicit On. In any case, you will find code samples for working with document properties in Knowledge Base articles. Search the terms: .NET custom document ...Show All

• Cuinio VSS Strategy

  Hi, I would like to request for some advise. I need to maintain source code in the following environment: development testing production Is there any best practise/well defined strategy that I can learn from ie, should these 3 environments exist with 1 database within the VSS or as 3 separate databases Currently, I am using VSS 6.0 Thank you Danny. The 1st structure is not even possible. You can't branch to a child, otherwise you'd have an infinite loop... Putting them all as top-level projects looks fine to me. You should create them as branches from the start. That is, create just one project called $/Development. Branch it to $/Test ...Show All

• Pockey Expression Blend WPF WPF/E confusion

  I have downloaded and done the tutorials for expression blend. I have it integrated (lack of better terminology) with visual studio etc so I can create an EXE with a WPF UI. What got me excited though was a channel 9 interview which I cannot seem to find that spoke of WPF/E being a Flash type technology for the Web with a limited .net framework enabling you to code behing WPF/E in your .net language of choice. This was really exciting to me as I have been toying with Adobe Flex to create a web 2.0 UI and really did not want to have to learn action script. I therefore grabbed the WPF/E SDK to find that it's xaml tags seem different to what expression blend creates and uses and therefore xaml from expression blend will not run in the bro ...Show All

• Ion101 Input Java (Sun) on J#

  Can i input my Java code on J# and add java api on J# I'm afraid that may not work I had suggested to J# team in the past to be able to "Open As Link" a folder (import filenames into project) and also to be able to "Open a folder" (copy files into project) and get all the subfolders and files in a folder with any decent Java API there are lots of subfolders (for packages) and files and its very tiring to do it by hand. But I guess somebody could make an add-on for VS.net to do that Add VJSSupUILib.dll into reference.

• lordJapheth Com Add-in creating custom events for keyboard Shortcuts

  Hi, I have written a COM Add-in for Office 2003 using C#2005. I have sucessfully added custom events to most of the menu items and tool bar buttons, but, if the request is done via the short cut (F7-Spell check for example), then, my newly created event doesnt fire. I still want to access the shortcuts, but want my event to fire first. Is this possible Thanks in advance I understand your requirements but it is a bit overkill the approach that you are using.
