• Manuk Can't Remove VSTO project reference in VBA

  Hi, I have created a an Excel 2003 VSTO action pane project. The actionpane works internally and accesses webservices within the domain. The user can use the task pane to access secure data and manage non-excel calculations utilizing the networks resources.. Here is the problem. This works great internally, but if a user wants to email this spreadsheet to a client/customer that does not have VSTO installed VBA code does not work correctly. The intent will be to use VSTO to "prepare" the spreadsheet, then send the spreadsheet to the cutomer. VSTO itself will not work when the Excel document is received by the customer...which is fine, however the non-VSTO vba code will not work because of the missing VSTO reference. The use ...Show All

• trillian74 XAML Namespace Mapping

  Hello *, I already read the wpf sdk, but there are still a few questions left... I wondered what is behind the xml Namespace Mappings xmlns= http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation xmlns:x=” http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml in the root tag of a xaml page.

• Zath Breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols loaded for this document.

  I have been 'developing' with Visual Studio 2005 for about 3 weeks now - primarily .NET class libraries developed with VB. I am coming from VB6, although I did a lot of development with Visual C++ several years ago, so I am still trying to come to terms with the debugger. I have read many threads posted by people who are having a problem with breakpoints, specifically with the message in the subject line above. There have been many suggestions on how to fix this problem. Sometimes these suggestions work, sometimes they do not. Most of the suggestions involve deleting DLL and PDB files and rebuilding, or restarting Visual Studio. None of them suggest any problem with something the developer has done or any problem with the configuration of ...Show All

• Wally9633 Word's MACROBUTTON Field Invoking VSTO Code?

  Hi, Is there a way to attach a VSTO handler to a MACROBUTTON field in Word, so that when the user double-clicks the macro field, I'd have my code in the customization assembly executed I'd hate to provide VBA macros in the document, beside the customization, because it entails macro security issues (which are assumed to be already solved in the VSTO solution) and also I need a connection to data inside my VSTO solution. Thanks! Hi Cindy, You are as helpful as always. Indeed I have overlooked the possibility to insert Windows Forms controls into the document. Probably it's because I've thrown that idea away long ago when the controls were ActiveX and required VBA code to be connected to them. Do I unders ...Show All

• azzyford Generating shadows in WPF web-based apps

  Hi there, I've tried to use the DropShadowBitmapEffect to drop a shadow of UI element in my WPF web-based application. But I have the following error: ...

• Clayton DuVall Complaints about Visual Sourcesafe outdated?

  Recently, a friend referred me to the article: Visual SourceSafe, Unsafe at any speed So I tried out some of the things the author mentioned, but they appear to be fixed. Is the article outdated I was under the impression that existing problems with Visual sourcesafe were: 1. Data corruption. 2. Lack of decent branching. 3. Lack of atomic commits. What version of VSS are you using if you are using VSS 2005 then probably the article is outdated. All the references in the article refer back to 1999 and the article was last revised back in 2003. VSS 2005 is the newest version which is improved over the VSS 6 versions. VSS 2005 shipped last year, so the author probably hasn't used VSS 2005 ...Show All
