• MikeMinsk TreeView Sort

  Hello. Is there any way to sort the ItemsSource of a HierarchicalDataTemplate I tried with a CollectionViewSource, but it seams that the Binding doesn’t work. I tried to use a Converter method, but the value uses an internal class (MS.Internal.Data.XmlDataCollection) so I can’t sort it :( Any idea Thanks I've just struck this one as well. How do I go about specifying a CollectionViewSource with sorting logic as the ItemsSource of a HierarchicalDataTemplate How are you guys sorting your TreeViews Matt Hi Dave, I tried this and it works fine initially but I found that if I add another item to the ObservableCol ...Show All

• swan_sgp streaming image from webcam into a WPF App

  Hi, Is there a way to stream images transmitted from a webcam into a WPF App. Is it possible in WPF -Sai If it's a computer-connected webcam, a la USB, you'll probably want to use directShow and renter it into a HwndHost. If you want the content redirected to a wpf surface, your choices are very limited. Either writing a directshow renderer to wpf, and that's no small task (I believe WPF calls down to MIL to hook up directshow output), or blit from memory to a wpf surface, which could end up being very expensive (system to video memory) so unless it's a few frames here and there you're probably better off using an HwndHost.

• iq662000 VSTO - Word Execution

  Hello all... I have a question regarding the execution of a VSTO document I created. For ease of demonstration, I stripped everything but a MessageBox with " Hello World " in the ThisDocument_Startup event... Once deployed, if I manually open this document file, or if I open the document via a Process object within code, it works fine... All is well... However, if attempt to open the document using the Word.Application object, the event never fires. For example: Dim oWord as New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word Application Dim oFile as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document oFile = oWord.Documents.Open( "c:\DeployTest\Test.doc" ) oWord.ShowMe() .... Should this approa ...Show All

• lagu2653 How to add caspol security settings for referenced assemblies

  I'm building an Outlook add-in using VSTO 2005 targeted at Outlook 2003. I've successfully added the SetSecurity project (from the MSDN "Deploying VS2005 Tools for Office Solutions Using Windows Installer" 2 part series) to my solution, which appears to properly configure security for my primary dll when my add in is deployed to another machine using my setup project. However, the SetSecurity project sample doesn't appear to set up permissions for the com objects referenced in my add-in and my add-in throws an error when I run it. Specifically, my add-in uses the CDO and web browser com objects, so I'm guessing I also need to add Caspol calls for the Interop.MAPI.dll and the Interop.SHDocVw.dll to my setup project What's ...Show All

• Pavan Podila When is Binding.ElementName non-NULL?

• Magnus M&amp;#252;ller Cypress Outlook 2007 addin installation problems

  I have some addins for Outlook 2007 developed using Cypress and both VB.NET and C#. If I run the addins from the VS 2005 IDE they run with no problems. If I compile as release mode they run from the IDE, start Outlook and run with no problems.

• NomadaPT WCF X.509 CAs?

  Can anyone point me to CA's of certificates suitable for WCF encryption and what do I ask for I understand that the standard SSL certs do not work and the sales reps are not knowledgeable about WCF requirements. Thanks John I have talked to someone who says that the problem lies in Visual Studio 5. The wizard does not want to accept certificates that do not have the key usage "data encryption". In runtime, such a certificate is not needed and a certificate without key usage "data encryption" will work. A supposed workaround is to fool the wizard in Visual Studio that automatically creates WS-Security policies. Feed it with a test certificate that has "data encryption" ...Show All

• Frank Uray Replacing XLA with COM Automation Add-In

  Hello all, We've got a bit of a problem here that we hope you can help us with. We've just developed a COM automation add-in in Visual Studio 2005 (C#) to replace an XLA add in. To ease the conversion, we named most of the functions exported by the COM library to the same name as those in the XLA file. However, our problem is that on removing the XLA file and adding in the COM automation add-in to a workbook, the excel spreadsheets cannot reference the new method calls which have the same name as the old calls in the XLA. If we create a new worksheet and add in the automation item, then the calls work fine. For example, the UDF call CBSpot existed in the XLA. When we remove the XLA and add in the automation DLL CBSpot can't be resolve ...Show All
