• ACCOUNTINGONLINE.US how can we save the conent of rich textbox to an xml file

  hi there, i am wondering how can we save the conent of rich textbox to an xml file. i have many richtextboxes but i need to save all those to one file. thanks prasanth there is no specific API to save to xml but since xaml is very similar to xml, it should be pretty easy to map it to xml.

• Ivan_Filho Workbook VBA project stays in memory after the workbook is closed

  A class in my VSTO solution hooks up to the Application's WorkbookActivate / WorkbookDeactivate events. When these events are fired, the class examines the properties of the workbook that is passed as the event's second argument. What I discovered is that even though I may close a workbook, its VBA project stays in memory. If I start the VBA editor, the Project Explorer shows a list of all the workbooks that have been opened in Excel's running instance. Moreover, if I opened a workbook twice, the Project Explorer lists two VBA projects for the same workbook. I have a little COM experience and I know that this happens because .NET increases the reference count of the workbook interface preventing it from being released even after the workbo ...Show All

• imj Loadbehaviour changes automatically from 3 to 2

  Hi, I have a weird problem when deploying my Office Addin developed in VS2003. When installed the values for word, excel and pp. are all set to LoadBehaviour 3 as it should be.

• Brad3000 Single installer for multiple Add-in projects

  Hi I have created three Add-in projects (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). There are three installer for each of the project. Can I have a single installer for 3 Add-in projects Regards, Ranjan Of course you can, if you wanted, you could write a primary installer, that calls each of the three individual ones you have now (instead of trying to combine all three into a single installer). Well, This discussion is outside the topic of VSTO development, but so I'm going to provide you a concept, and give you links to where you can learn about about Windows Installer development. Concept In your case, you could create a new "main" installer (Setup project), on that project, add your three existing setup projects you've mentioned. ...Show All

• GreatDane Sandcastle: Is it possible to get rid of fully qualified type names?

  When I generate html pages using the vs2005 styles, I've noticed that it seems that all links to types are named with a fully qualified name. It's one thing that the text talks about, say System.Random instead of just Random, but some of my types have 4 or even 6-part namespaces, and that's really destroying readability. Is there a switch where I can change this behavior, so that links will only display the type name, and no namespace information Interestingly, when methods are displayed, they are displayed using just the type name and no namespace, but here, the method name would have sufficed (created better readability). Then again,... what about inheriting a class that has the same name but is located in a different names ...Show All
