• Saroj K. Nanda t4 in a custom/stand alone tool

  Hi, I don't really know too much about the DSL tools but I was just wondering if the t4 template engine could be used and distributed with a custom/stand alone tool eg. Can this actually be done, are there any dependencies that would restrict this, what are the license terms If not, does anyone know of any similar template engines (open source or commercial) Thanks, Wade. Thanks for the info. Wade, In case you are interested, there is an implementation of a text templating host available at http://www.gotdotnet.com/Workspaces/Workspace.aspx id=dae43a90-7893-493c-804a-e1f7537732c0 .

• John.Doe Add Click event to New Mail button

  I'm using VSTO2005SE and would like to add my own event handler to the New Email button on the Standard toolbar. The button is of typ msoControlSplitButtonPopup, so it cant be casted to CommandBarButton. If I cast it to CommandBarControl I cant add my own event handler to the Click event. Reflection doesn't allow me to add event handlers either since it's a COM object. How can I add my own event handler to the New Mail button (id 1874) Please please help! // Johan Hi Johan. There is no way that I am aware of to add your own event handler to Outlook's New Email button. Instead, you should try using the NewInspector event. Thanks. -Brent Thanks for your reply.

• Micror How to convert an Icon object to ImageSource?

  How can I convert an Icon object to an ImageSource object. I want to set the Icon of a window, but the Window's Icon property needs an ImageSource object. Thanks! Hi, how about the reverse by this i mean converting an WPF ImageSource object to a System.Drawing.Icon object. A scenario where this is used is if i want to display a system tray icon using the WPF app icon with System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon object, without duplicating the resource. thanks, nick Did you declare the icon file in your project as a Resource The pack://application URIs can only reference files known at build time i.e. declared in the project as Resource or Content.

• Handerson Is it possible to specify Click events in generic.xaml resource file?

  Currently I get the error when specifying a click event in my generic.xaml Error 311 'ResourceDictionary' root element requires a x:Class attribute to support event handlers in the XAML file. Either remove the event handler for the Click event, or add a x:Class attribute to the root element. If I add the x:Class="X5Client.DynamicWindow1" attribute specifying the class that contains the event, I get a different error. Error 310 Partial declarations of 'X5Client.DynamicWindow1' must not specify different base classes. Rod, If you can live with having your event handling method in a code-behind file (not in the XAML), then try the technique shown here: http://www.infusionblogs.com/ ...Show All

• ti_m video example not working

  public Scene1() { this.InitializeComponent(); MediaPlayer player = new MediaPlayer(); player.Open(new Uri("pack://application:,,/rock.wmv")); VideoDrawing aVideoDrawing = new VideoDrawing(); aVideoDrawing.Rect = new Rect(100, 100, 100, 100); aVideoDrawing.Player = player; player.Play(); I took this from the msdn page but changed the Uri as I had added a .wmv to the project.

• White Hawk Creating a sideways tab control

  I want to create a tab control where the tabs go down the left side of the window and the text is sideways. To see an example, open a PDF file. Here's a link if you don't have one: http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/pdfs/phscs2it_bwconv.pdf Notice how the Pages and Bookmarks tabs go sidesays down the left side of the screen. What is the easiest way to do this I've tried using Expression Blend to change either the layout transformation or render transformation. With this approach, I can get the tabs growing up from the bottom, but I want them coming down from the top. Also, any content displayed inside of the tab panel are also sideways, so I'd have to move them all back. Is there an easier way to do this ...Show All

• MA2005 Can't get rid of toolbar

  I have been working on an add-in for Word 2003 using VSTO. For some reason when I open Word while I am not debugging my toolbar that is created in the startup of the add-in is still being created. I have tried to remove the toolbar and save the normal.dot and that has had no effect. I have checked the options and my add-in is not in the list of deployed add-ins.

• Dumondo Setup.exe Error in VS 2005

  I'm having problems installing Visual Studio 2005 on a system that already has VS .NET 2003 on it. I have read a number of posts here but nothing I've tried has resolved the problem.
