• Senthil Kanna animate listbox items to scroll

  how to animate listbox items to scroll and fade out Can you give some more details ScrollIntoView will provide some functionality, but if you want better control over how the text animates, its speed, direction, etc you might consider creating a small animation framework for your elements. It's fairly simple to create some animated scrolling control containers that will scroll any elements inside of it. I created one called ScrollingCanvas Container which you can find an example and source code for over at xamlXaml.com: http://xamlxaml.com/2006/09/27/scroll-text-and-almost-anything-else-with-the-scrollingcanvas-container/ Michael G.

• RNG VBA or .NET?

  Hi, I'm planning on creating a customized toolbar for Powerpoint 2003 which would have a custom color palette, custom icons, create new slides based on a table of contents, etc. I'm weighing my options trying to decide between VBA and .NET with VSTO 2005. I talked to Microsoft MVP Jonathan West concerning this choice, and his gave me some pretty compelling reasons for choosing VBA, namely: VSTO 2005 has no special tools for Powerpoint VSTO 2005 SE only works for Office 2007 (not Office 2003) COM add-ins are a pain with .NET Accessing the Powerpoint object model with VBA would be easier than with .NET for this specific project What does the forum say about this Is VBA the clear choice Thanks, Pete Pet ...Show All

• Fusion54 How to get a List of available Classes with VSPackages?

  Hi, I need to enumerate all the available classes which are derived from DataSet with VSPackages (not using DTE). Is there anyway to get a reference to one of the enumerated class Thanks in advance, Denniz AFAIK, you need to use DTE. See my article: HOWTO: Navigate the code elements of a file from a Visual Studio .NET macro or add-in. at: http://www.mztools.com/resources_vsnet_addins.htm From within a package, you can get the DTE object using GetService(typeof EnvDTE.DTE). There is something confusing in your question: if you have an add-in or VS package hosted in the IDE instance A, how do you expect that is going to list the classes on a different instance B that ...Show All

• Socrates Kapetaneas csproj Documentation

  Hi, I'm looking for a documentation for .csproj which describes all valid settings for a Visual Studio 2005 C# project file. I know the MSBuild Project File Schema Reference but this just describes the general schema but not the settings themselves. regards, Alex I have done this now, Neil. Thank you. Alex Dan, thanks for your reply, I have already seen this file but due to missing descriptions it was not that useful. Alex Alexander, there is microsoft.build.commontypes.xsd in your v2.0.50727 folder. That's a list of valid properties/items that are often seen in projects written by Visual Studio, but it does not have d ...Show All

• darknessangel Excel precision issues with float/single

  If I have a float variable with a value of 9.9 (as seen in the debugger), and I set it to an Excel cell, the cell value is 9.89999961853027. However, if I have a double variable with the same value of 9.9, setting that to an Excel cell gives me the correct value. (Note that the cell, in it's default size, looks correct, but if you expand the cell, or click on the value and look on the editor area, the value is incorrect.) Am I doing something wrong How do I fix this Thanks much!

• pinoyz Invalid DOS Path Error - Unable to Open VSS database

  Hi our network has recently changed the network mapping of a shared drive where our VSS database is located. This has caused the VSS program to complain a dos path error. I tried remapping the database to the new path where the srcsafe.ini is located but I had no luck. The new path is somewhat similar to the one below \\hr.serv.acme.com\hr-shared-drv\application\vss\srcsafe.ini previously it was: \\hrserv34-v3\application\vss\srcsafe.ini Previously we had no problems. I've checked the permissions and no problems there. What could have been made wrong I'm running VSS v 6.0d on Windows NT.

Dan "This posting provided ASIS with no warranties" The quick anser is "You can't." The copy task always fails when it tries to overwrite a read-only file. You will have to retrieve the list of files being copied and delete them from the target folder prior to calling the Copy task.

• Sam Jost Storyboards and Threads Question

  Hi all, I'm new to WPF and I need some help regarding an Animation I have running in a User Control I have created (it s a little progress indicator animation). In my Main XAML page I make my user control invisible to begin with. Then when I want to perform a task which is going to take a few seconds the idea is that I will make the user control visible and hence the users will see the little animation to give them a visual clue that something is taking a few seconds to run. Then when the task is complete I will make the user control invisible again. Everything seems to work fine except that just after running the c# code to making my user control visible, if I then simulate a delay of a few seconds using System.Threading.Thread. ...Show All
