Cameron D Build/Rebuild
How can I pass a value to my custom task to let it know whether a Build vs a Rebuild was performed I'm passing it values now, so I know how to pass values, I'm just not sure how to tell if it's a build or rebuild. Thanks, Mike Basically, you shouldn't have any need for knowing. Looking at Microsoft.Common.targets reveals that Rebuild is just a dummy target that's depending on BeforeRebuild;Clean;$(MSBuildProjectDefaultTargets);AfterBuild or BeforeRebuild;Clean;Build;AfterBuild if $(MSBuildProjectDefaultTargets) happened to be set to 'Rebuild'. So basically, you should be able to do whatever is required in your Build target and perform necessary cleanup in the Clean target. (That said, by ove ...Show All
Robert S P Dynamically loading image in Crystal Report (NOT CR XI) which comes in with VS 2003
Hi All. I am currently using bundled in Crystal Reports that comes with Visual Studio 2003. We have a requirement by which we need to dynamically change the image (LOGO) of each reports generated. Right now I have to embed the logo in header subreport and then include them individually in each main report(s) ... Now I have a requirement to brand each main report based on vendor. So I want to dynamically load image in the header sub report.

Charlie Audritsh problem with .config file for XBAP on Server 2003

how do I compile/debug and run an application in visual J# 2005 Express edition note that directly running or debugging (both options are on the menu and can also customize the toolbar to add them by rightclicking on it) without first building the solution should compile any changed stuff automatically, so for big projects you can avoid rebuilding everything cause it might take some time Thanks Hi, 1.

prashantsable Fetching contacts from Global Address List via Outlook using CDO
Hello. I am using CDO in order to get the list of contacts (from a session, getting the default contacts folder, getting the messages of the folder, parsing the list) and I am querying the fields of a contact. The problem is that I get an exception when I am requesting the field "CdoPR_EMAIL_ADDRESS". The description of the exception is: [Collaboration Data Objects - [MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND(8004010F)]], source: Collaboration Data Objects, HRESULT: -2147219721.

And I found something else: there is no id with the value 805503006 (the constant "CdoPR_EMAIL_ADDRESS"), however I find the e-mail address at different ids like -2142568418, -214 ...Show All

durnurd Migrating an VBA Excel solution to VSTO Solution
Hi All, I have an Excel file (coded in VBA, Office 2000, all blank sheets, only VBA code)which we call report engine. This report engine creates copy of existing templates(100 in number), fetch data from database and populates the copy of template to generate very large number of reports. Before coding this solution in Excel, we had same thing coded using VB6. But since VB6 application was an out-process application creating Excel files, we moved to an Excel report engine generating Excel files and this improved performance dramatically. This whole solution now we want to move to .net(VSTO) solution. We will be using the existing Excel templates. Only the report engine needs to be migrated. We have already taken following ap ...Show All
crazy_boss How to grant trust to more than one assembly using Custom Actions for Outlook Add-in?
Hello again, I am trying to deploy an add-in that relies on a third-party assembly. I created a setup project with VSTO and it deployed fine (created the code group for the add-in's assembly etc) . I can manually grant trust to the third-party assembly by creating a code group with the .NET Framework 2.0 Configuration tool and I can use the Caspol.exe to do it via the command line. But what I really want to do is grant the trust using Custom Actions like I did for the add-in. I've read the various whitepapers and other MSDN articles but I'm struggling with the steps to do this for more than one assembly. Can someone please point me to an online article or provide some instructions in this regard. Many thanks, Tad ...Show All

kcornwell Smart & Lazy Scrollable List ;-)
Hello, I'm using a gridview/listview in order to display a grid of data to the user. However the potential # of rows can be very very large. So: 1. I don't want to get the entire list. 2. If I can, I would like to avoid (first, prev, next, last) paging scheme. So I was thinking maybe I could break the list into pages and employ lazy loading. In other words, have a slot of pages (lets say 5 pages), and as the user scrolls, I move the slot of pages and proactively gather rows from the db, keeping a few steps ahead of the user. I realize that the user may scroll faster than the lazy-loader or may just jump to the end of the list (I'm not sure how to solve those problems yet: one step at a time I guess). I got 2 of questio ...Show All
