• Joe Dawson add-in doesn't load when launching using new excel.application

  When launching excel via interop, I've noted that the addins don't appear to load. Dim xlsApp As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application xlsApp = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application xlsApp.Visible = True Does anyone have any idea why and how to solve it Otherwise, I need to figure out how to load excel via System.Diagnositics.Process.Start() where I can pass it the location of the excel exec, which I am uncertain how to determine Good to know, thanks guys, appreciate the feedback Hi Denis, As Dennis pointed out, this behavior is by design in Excel. It is not an interop or VSTO issue. Whenever you create an instance of Excel as an automation object, add-ins will not load unless you ex ...Show All

• pblecha Macros not working in Vista

  Macros do not work in Vista. I'm using Vista Ultimate rtm. I can not find any threads here discussing this issue but found this link thru google: http://connectbeta.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx FeedbackID=225977   Macro debugging does not work either. Is there any workaround of fix other than ditching Vista and going back to XP No, I was suggesting that perhaps you didn't have SP1 installed and that was why the macros were not working. I guess that is not the case however. You'll also want to run DevEnv "as administrator". I don't have a lot of suggestions here as I don't seem to be having any problems with macros running in my environment anymore. I'm run ...Show All

• Jimmy Koo "Deep" Debugging

  I have the following error message (from native C++): http://ariasamp.net/hold2/DAgent_bomb2.bmp Since I am unable to use a debug executable (and unable to attach the remote debugger), I need to use a more advanced debugging technique.  But I don't know what my options are.  Is there a way to make/capture a "core dump "  If yes, what is the name of the tool Or perhaps there is an article someone has that teaches how to correlate the registers and stack dump (seen in the prior link) into a location within my code. To address this problem, I'd like to know my options for both deprecated systems (98, XP) and current systems (W2K, 64 bit XP, etc) - both managed and unmanaged code.  Thanks! EIP ( ...Show All

• David Hanzelka VB.NET XML Comments File Name

  Using VS2005, for C# projects you can specify the file name for XML comments in the project properties.  For a VB project you can only turn on the generation of XML comments, but not specify the file name.  This would be fine if VB would use the /doc compiler switch, but it uses the /doc:filename switch and specifies a truncated form of the the assembly name.  For example, my assembly name is MyCompany.MyBusinessUnit.Assembly1.dll and the file name that ends up being used for the XML comments file is MyCompany.MyBusinessUnit.xml. This causes a problem when trying to build the help using SandCastle for a multiple assembly solution where there are assemby names like MyCompany.MyBusinessUnit.Assembly1.dll, MyCompany.MyBusine ...Show All

• Jon Stroh Unable to draw a connector when toolbox is floating

  When a user uses a floating toolbox instead of a docked toolbox, the connectors won't work properly. The user is unable to draw a line between two shapes. Instead the first selected shape is dragged. When the toolbox is docked again, the connectors work just fine. We have created several designers and the all have the same issue.

• MarijnStevens Manual Page breaks vs automatic page breaks in WordML

  Hi, I have a scenario where I'm programmatically generating WordML documents based on data from a database table. Sometimes, because of the source data in the database table, the output WordML a <wx:sect> tag spans more than one page in Word. Is there a way to insert a manual page break in the WordML for this section whenever this happens This way, I can make sure that for every row in the database table, the output will start on a fresh page in Word. At the same time, I want to avoid having consecutive page breaks which seem possible if I get this working. Thanks, JGP Glad things are moving along for you :-) You can control the row-breaking in Word without resorting to manual ...Show All

• Brad Smith Localization Support

  Are there any plans to have better localization support in the Orcas CTP's The current method of localizing XAML using LOCBAML and manually editing csprog files is not very developer friendly. The Winform designer has a property (Localizable) that when set will automatically move all strings to resources. Steve Thanks! mark Mark, We used VS 2005 to do the actual localization. Steve Mark, Possibly something like the Winforms designer. When you set the Localizable property on a form to true, it moves string resources (for example button text) to a resource file (Form1.Resx) Another approach would be to be able to right click on a XAML file ...Show All

• Steven Galione RichTextBox font change without selection in VB

  Using Visual Basic Express, I'm trying to change font at an insertion point in a RichTextBox in an XAML flow document so that any characters typed after the font change are in the new font. When text is selected, the change is easy, using something like: s.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.FontFamilyProperty, FontFamilyListBox.SelectedItem) etc... If I do it when the selected text is empty, the word at the insertion point is changed. I've tried just keeping track of the desired font and applying it to the first new character typed (as long as the insertion point has not changed), but I either end up getting the formatting to apply only to that new character and nothing following it, or I end up with the new character selected and then b ...Show All

• Simmy7 VS 2005 stalls/freezes when adding multiple DataGrids bound to a DataSet

  Hello, I have a form that has a main DataGrid bound to the parent side of the DataSet. There are 15 child tables to that DataSet, and for each child table I have a DataGrid on that form (most are really small, but do show related records when I scroll through the main DataGrid). When assigning the datasource for each DataGrid (in the designer) to its appropriate child table (and modifying each DataGrid) everything goes ok until I get to about the eighth one, then VS starts to slow down like it is running out of ram. I very seldom get to assign the datasource for the eleventh DataGrid. I thought it was a RAM issue, and bought a new computer (2.66 Core 2 Duo - 2 gigs of RAM) and it still does the same thing. Reboot and it comes right back to ...Show All

• e. ogas Impossible to uninstall GAT

  Hello, I have an exception when I try to repair or to remove the GAT, because there is problems with registered guidance packages which don't exist yet. So I tried to manually unregister all the guidance package, following the instructions on the Clarius's Blog. I unregistered all the guidance packages found in the manifest file (RecipeFramework.xml). But if there is other registered guidance packages unknown (because I have no more the files), it is impossible to unregister them because I don't know their name and GUID. So it is always impossible to repair or remove GAT ! The exception said "The manifest file doesn't contain an entry for the guidance package Guidance Package Development". Usually, in this case, you instal ...Show All

• CsNetworks A4 paper size with winforms reportviewer

  Hi, Ive searced the web and found only a few dead ends, so i thought i'd ask in here, hope its the correct place! i have created a report that will use a localreport on a winforms app, the report works fine, however when i try to print it, it is always set to letter size paper, how do i change the print preview to be A4, and set the margins i have set the report size in the report, but it seems to make no difference.
