• chunket Control+C (user break) handling disabled when program launched from Tools menu

  I have a C++ Win32 console program in which I trap Control+C (SIGINT) with my own handler. This works just fine when the program is started from within Visual Studio 2005 using the menu items Debug\Start Debugging or Debug\Start Without Debugging, or when the program is started outside of Visual Studio. However, if I use Tools\External Tools to create a tool that starts the program, and if I start it using that, my handler no longer gets called. This is a big problem because many users of my program use Visual Studio 2005 and start my program from the Tools menu. Does anyone know how to solve this problem Thanks, Jim OK - so the code looks like it changes a couple of parameters based ...Show All

• Bernardo Piano Developing for both 2003 & 2007 with VSTO 2005 SE

  Okay, maybe this is a stunned question, but I want to make sure I'm crystal clear before I head too far down the wrong path. I did a search, and I understand all but one thing... I want to make an add-in for both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. I *do* understand that the best (only ) approach is to make a "stub" add-in for 2003 and another "stub" for 2007, and have them each call into common assemblies. No problem there. On my development machine, I have Office 2007 installed. That means I don't have the Office 2003 PIAs (since you can't have both Outlooks installed at once). So if I make a new VSTO 2005SE project for an Outlook 2003 add-in, it obviously bitches that it can't find the Office 2003 PIAs. My question is: is ...Show All

• tinny4u Datasource List<String> problem

  I have a custom business object that returns a List<String>. In the Report designer, it allows me to use the following property values to bind a textbox to: Fields!Chars.Value Fields!Length.Value The Length works fine and returns the correct lengths for the strings, but the Chars never returns anything. Since Chars doesn't appear to be a property of the String class, I'm wondering if that is the problem. I've tried some other combinations "Fields", "Value", but I can't get anything to work. Does anyone have any ideas I know the actual text is in the object since the length works, and I also switched to a custom class that only contained a string and returned a List<customclass> and that worked fine.

• Sreedharan Can anyone help with video and clip path?

  I'm trying to display a video which is clipped by a text path. The effect I'm after is to display the moving video on the 'surface' of the text. Should be simple eh I see the text path but no sign of the video. The events attached to Window.Loaded and MediaElement.Loaded fire as expected, and the video is loaded.

• Dave111 Linq2Sql: Persisting new objects with relationships to existing objects

  I'm seeing some strange behavior when I try and persist a new object which has an existing object set to one of it's child properties. The scenario goes something like this: 1) create a new Book instance 2) assign an existing Subject to the book.Subject property 3) Save the book instance <<psuedocode>> MyDataContext ctx = new MyDataContext(); Book book = new Book(); //... do stuff book.Subject = ctx.Subjects.Where(s => s.Name == "My Subject").First(); ctx.Books.Add(book); ctx.SubmitChanges(); When saving the book instance Linq to Sql attempts to INSERT the Subject even though it already exists which obviously results in an exception being thrown (duplicate key violation). The book and subject classes are using GUID's for the ...Show All

• Rruna How to add SmartTags in Outlook

  Hi, I wrote a SmartTag assembly for Word that searches some article numbers and shows some details. Now I want that functionality in Outlook. For example when a customer sends me an email within some article numbers it should be found by Smarttags. How I can do that Outlook supports SmartTags only when Word is the email editor, and thus uses the same tags as Word. Note, though, that Word can be the editor for received items only when they are in rich-text format, which is unlikely for mail coming from outside. Thanks for your replies. Word 2003 is my standard email editor. How I can say to Outlook that it should use a certain WordTemplate(with SmartTags) for ...Show All

• PaulMendoza using Visual Studio to build C/C++ projects with dependencies

  Hello everyone, I am using Visual Studio to create a solution, and in this solution, there are several projects which have dependencies, for example, the output of one project is a DLL and another project will utilize it to build an executable application. My question is, whether Visual Studio could recognize the dependencies and build projects in correct sequence Means, building DLL project first, then build the executable application. If Visual Studio could not, I have to build them manually one-by-one in the correct sequence. thanks in advance, George Hi Adrigo, Adrigo Gallus wrote: Yes, for C# and VB projects.
