• cgirolami Help With Installing Visual Studio 2005 Professional

  Could someone please tell me step by step what I need to do in order to install Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I have downloaded the En_vs_2005_Pro_90_Trial.img file but from here I am completely lost. I am looking for some way to install this program into my computer without having to purchase the ISOBuster software or possibly any other software for that matter. I am a total newbie to any sort of file like this (.img) and just about everything I have read concerning it confuses me. I do have a CD burner but I don't even know how to use it, so when I read about burning the VS2005 file to a CD I am lost here also. If someone could explain in laymen's terms how I can install this file into my machine I would greatly appreciate it ...Show All

• Darcelle Reflection Vs. Schema Metadata

  Hey there, I'm currently writing a small utility for the Entity Framework, and I was just curious... what is more performant, accessing properties via reflection (of the entity) or using the metadata found in the ObjectContext.Metadata I am using AugustCTP. Any answers/foresight you can give me towards the Febuary CTP would be much appreciated as well! :) Thanks! Mike Well, there's no guarantees about performance unless you test it yourself, but it's my suspicion that if you just need to get the data once then using our metadata system might not be that much faster than reflection (if we haven't loaded the data yet, you'll have to make sure we load it which will be at least as slow as reflection, if we have already load ...Show All

• stupots Problem with 1:1 Association in EDM Designer

  In developing a test harness to validate name changes I made to entities, entity sets, and association sets for a EDM based on the Northwind database (Access version), I wrote some code to retrieve and display foreign key values and related entity counts for entity sets loaded in a DataGridView. I'm seeing a problem of consistency in foreign key values returned from the 1:1 Employees.ReportsTo:Employees.EmployeeID association. The initial values when loading the related entities are correct for the nine Employee instances. However, data returned from the cache is missing six of the nine values. Screen captures of the initial and final diagram, as well as test harness results, plus code snippets are in today's post on the OakLeaf blog ...Show All

• Grumpy McNasty VSTO Outlook add-in install on terminal server

  We have created an Outlook 2003 add-in using VSTO along with all the security requirements using the instructions on this site: http://weblogs.asp.net/mnissen/articles/427504.aspx We have tested the install on seperate XP Pro machines with no problems at all. We also tried a Windows 2003 server not running WTS. We are now trying to install it on a Windows 2003 terminal server and have had little success. Most of the registry entries are insterted along with the program and the pre-reqs (i.e. .NET 2.0, IAP, VSTO Runtime) . However the add-in does not get added to the list of COM-Addins and it is not in the disabled list under help and about. We have even set the project setup to install for all users.

• allken "Office document customization not available" - Details are blank

  Hello We have written a project in VSTO 2005 and have been using it for several months. We have started seeing instances where people are opening up documents they have already created and are getting the error message "Office document customization not available". If you click on view details this is blank. It does not occur for all documents. Any ideas suggestions would be helpful. Regards Joanne I wonder if the runtime storage control gets corrupted somehow. Do you know whether the "damage" to the document is permanent or if you close Word and then open the document it will start working again I've had this problem, but only in virtual pc and when opening the spr ...Show All

• Jeffn .NET 3.0 / Orcas / C# 3.0 / LINQ - I'm Confused

  Hi, I'm wondering if someone could clarify for me the relationship between .NET 3.0 (which is currently RC1) and all of this LINQ stuff we're seeing in the May CTP. I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere but I haven't been able to find it. As I understand it, .NET 3.0 is supposed to be released with Vista. C# 3.0 and LINQ will be released together as the next version of Visual Studio (AKA Orcas ), but separately from .NET 3.0 and probably well after Vista. This situation confuses me a little bit because the .NET Framework has a C# compiler built into it, right So I'm guessing that the C# compiler included in the .NET Framework 3.0 will not be able to compile C# 3.0 code (LINQ, etc.) Does that mean there will be another framew ...Show All

• montaquehou Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions and Visual Studio 2005

  It's truly unbelievable that there appears to be no solution to this issue. After searching countless hours and getting caught in endless iterations following MSDN links, I still have no answer to the question that really shouldn't be that difficult. Microsoft advertises that the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions are part of Visual Studio 2005. I talked with a Microsoft representative who confirmed this before making the purchase of their product. I received the product and installed it, but there is nothing in the documentation that talks about the extensions. I simply need to deploy an application developed using Microsoft Office Access 2003 to a computer that doesn't have Microsoft Office Access 2003 installed on i ...Show All

• Runespy Bind the existing listobject without hard coding the Sheet name

  My VSTO application contains more than 100 sheets. In all the sheets there is one list object and a chart bind to it. I can access the list object SetDataBinding as follows. Globals .Sheet2.list1.SetDataBinding(); Is there any way to bind the existing listobject without hard coding the Sheet name. For example: Excel. Worksheet activeSheet = (Excel. Worksheet ) Globals .ThisWorkbook.Sheets[1]; activeSheet.ListObjects[0]. ( here SetDataBinding() is not available! ) It is possible to add listobject dynamically using Control.AddListObject() and that method is returning ListObject instance, for that SetDataBinding() is available. But I need to bind the existing list object. Is ther ...Show All
