• Aaron Leiby How to create setup project that installs without user interaction?

  Hi all, Just developed my first shared add-in in Visual Studio 2005. This add-in is for Project 2003. I created a setup project just fine, and we are planning on deploying it with an installation of Project 2003. Problem is, the setup project that is created requires the user to answer a bunch of prompts during installation. I included the Shared Add-in Support Update for the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (KB908002) with my add-in - so when the user goes to install the add-in - it prompts the user if they want to install this update. I don't want any prompts to show during the install. Also, is there a way for the setup to detect if the user already has .NET framework 2.0 and not install it if it exists (as the update already includes . ...Show All

• jonez108 Outlook Add-In distribution

  Hi. I'm quite new to Outlook Add-In programming, and I have a question. We have an Outlook application written in VBScript, that comes with a mailbox that user adds to his/her Outlook 2003. With that mail box there comes also contacts, and when user double clicks a contact, a custom form appears where user can perform some actions. Now we like to re-write the VBScript application.

• Bartosz QueryTables Digital Certificate Verification

  I'm using visual basic in excel to pull in data from a web site using QueryTables. The data pull works but every time the macro runs, a dialog box pops up requesting that I choose a digital certificate to communicate with the external web site. This digital certificate (there is only one) has been created and installed on the PC I am running the macro on. When I manually click "OK" on the dialog box the macro and data pull run properly. My question is how do I get rid of the dialog box and manual intervention. I have tried adding "application.displayalerts=false" before the querytable but this doesn't help. Note I also tried "displayalerts=true". Can someone please point me in the right direction ...Show All

• PiGuy LINQ to SQL ( Everywhere ? )

  Hello guys, I am researching LINQ and I would like to know what is timeline for this project. when we could expect Beta, RC.. (I realize it is too early to ask this but still ) AFAIK LINQ for SQL works with SQL Server only. Any plans to include SQL Server Everywhere If yes when we could expect first release Before I forget - congrats for good job on LINQ project ;) Thanks in advance They are proposing a provider model in which third party vendors would be able to add support for other database systems. Your post does bring up another question. Will LINQ be supported by the compact framework If not, LINQ to SQL Everywhere may be somewhat of a moot concern.

• KVdS Custom issued security token

  Hello, I would like to create a federation scenario where the issued token is a custom token and not a SAML token. I’ve already studied the custom token sample posted by T. Janczuk at http://pluralsight.com/blogs/tjanczuk/archive/2006/06/16/28046.aspx and I’m rather familiar with the token infrastructure (managers, providers, authenticators, serializers, ...) However, I’ve a basic question: in the custom issued token scenario, do I have to implement the token provider from scratch or are there any extensibility points in the IssuedSecurityTokenProvider class that I can use In other words, is the IssuedSecurityTokenProvider hard-wired to SAML tokens, or is it possible to use it with another kind of token. ...Show All

• debuggger ComboBox, style on ToolBar

  When a ComboBox is placed on a ToolBar it gets a Blue hottrack/focus border style. How can I change that (as it doesn’t fit my design very well) Best regards, Thomas Andersen Actually the standard ComboBox doesn't fit my design either. Is it possible just to change the Blue highlight color in the ToolBar-ComboBox style Best regards, Thomas Andersen Hi Thomas, Setting the Style property on your ComboBox will override the one applied by the ToolBar. One solution is to set your ComboBox style to the default ComboBox style. The key for a default style is the type that the style is applied to, in this case: {x:Type ComboBox} <ToolBar> < ...Show All
