• Arkcann Printing From PDF vs Print Dialog

  I have a report in VS2005 WinForms with borders around the page header, body, and page footer. In the Print Preview Dialog, these borders appear as if they are going to print however the right and bottom borders do not actually print. However, if I save to .PDF then these borders save and print as expected. Is there a workaround for this Thanks, cj If you set the report format to PDF, the PDF viewer should automatically launch, and display the report. The users can then use the PDF viewer to print or save the report. Side Note: I submitted this issue to MSFT and they have acknowledged the issue. My understanding is that the margin issue should be fixed in the next SQL Server release. Until t ...Show All

• xlordt How can I determine is VS is in Debug or Release mode from the BuildTask

  How can my buildtask determine what mode/configuration the instance of Visual Studio calling it in, Debug or Release The reason I require this is because I need to know the paths to the references in the current project i.e. <currentprojectcallingbuildtask>/bin/<mode> Thanks. LP. Thanks Jay, That's what i thought, I had hoped there would be another way. Cheers, LP. You will need to pass in the property Configuration to your task so that your task can determine the value or conditionally pass debug = true or false depending on the Configuration property when calling your task. Within a task you cannot determine if the configuration is debug or release. Thanks, Jay ( jaysh@microsoft.com ) ...Show All

• Vegar Imsland Remote Factory Class

  Hi For a better understanding about what my problem is, assume that i have the following: Assembly1 { IMyInterfaceA { string MyMethod(); } Take a look at this article and that might help. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/NETremoteWCF.asp The article you mentioned helped me a lot - thx for that. It took a while to get it to work... Now I have the remote factory class - everything works fine. I can use the factory to return reference to other services to the client. But it is still possible for the client to access all services directly. Is there a way that calling clients only can access the factory service directly and only the factory service can return references (via t ...Show All

• magcianaux Bug or Feature : Behavior of OneWay bindings (July CTP)

  Hi, I'm using the July CTP and have run into a situation where Binding doesn't behave as I expected it to. I've isolated this behavior below and I'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's by design. If it is by design, I think the documentation should highlight this 'feature': I've created a Source object and a Target object: public class Source : INotifyPropertyChanged { double _floatingPointValue = 0.0; public double FloatingPointValue { get { return _floatingPointValue; } set { if (value != _floatingPointValue) { _floatingPointValue = value; _OnPropertyChanged("FloatingPointValue"); } } } public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged; private void _OnPropertyChanged(string proper ...Show All

• sirmmo LINQ and webservices

  Hello Today I have scenario where my web application don't have access to the sql db, but instead it sends its sql query as a string to a webservice which have access to the sql db. The webserivce then performs then sql query and return the result as xml. So will LINQ be able to handle cases like this Since i cant drag and drop the tables from the db, maybe there is some way it could instead ask the webservice that then returns all tables and there rows, and that way I would be able to use the LINQ syntax, which i really love. Best Regards Mads Baed upon what has been said I am assuming that I could not simply hook into DLINQ's DB calls and re-direct the SQL via a web service (IE I don't want it to s ...Show All

• sgGeordie Customizing the Ribbon: TabOutlineMode

  Hello helpful people, I am attempting to add a button to the Outline Mode tab in Word (using <tab idMso="TabOutlineMode">), but Word complains that this idMso does not exist (I looked it up - it seems to be the correct id) I speculate that this is happening because the outline mode tab does not exist when Word launches - it only shows up when outline mode is enabled. I have tried automatically switching over to outline mode: private void ThisApplication_Startup(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Globals.ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow.View.Type = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdViewType.wdOutlineView; } But I get the same error. I suspect that the ribbon is loading before ThisApplication_Startup i ...Show All

• Andreas_ Using SymSrv Wrongly Downloads Files Locally

  We were using the following _NT_SYMBOL_PATH to download symbols from Microsoft's Symbol Server: srv*\\ourNetworkMachine\debug_symbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols This seemed to work great, until one day I discovered that any compressed symbols we received from the Microsoft site were being stored compressed on our downstream server (ourNetworkMachine in the above example), and decompressed locally onto whatever machine was being used for debugging, in what seemed like a random directory (our best guess is that it was whatever was some form of "current directory" when starting debugging; at different times I got it in directories that held devenv.exe, firefox.exe, and trillian.exe). I have a hunch that this coincided with a c ...Show All

• garyvdailyware store ServiceSecurityContext.Current info

  This may sound strange but is it possible to save the ServiceSecurityContext.Current info so that I can retrieve it and use it later I have a scenario where the client subscribes itself via a subscription service in the host. The host resides in another machine. Later, another service from the same host tries to invoke a method from the subscriber's service. The trouble I'm having is with SSPI negotiation. When I try to invoke the client's method, I get a "SSPI negotiation failed" error. I think if I can tell the Host the client's ServiceSecurityContext.Current info, I won't be running into this problem. Thanks. yes. For the bindings, I'm using W ...Show All

• Lucas Pasquali After programming with VSTO, Excel double-click/shortcuts/"open with" no longer work

  Hi, I'm developing a complex Excel 2003 app using VSTO 2005. Now when I try (with VS2005 and my application closed) to open an Excel file by double-clicking on it in explorer, Excel 2003 opens but the file itself does not. I have to go to the menu item File->Open and select the file. In the course of developing and debugging this app, Excel has crashed numerous times on my machine. I suspect that VSTO or my code changed some setting somewhere and I need to programatically change it back, but I have no idea where that would be. I suspect that because I have also encountered this bug/problem. Anybody have any insight/suggestions Thank you so much Devin! The answer was in the first knowledg ...Show All

• 48050 "Error receiving HTTP response" in WCF client application

  I've build a very simple service in WCF.  I've run the svcutil against the svc and generated the proxy and config.  I've incorporated the config as the App.config in my windows client.  When I attempt to make a call to the service using the proxy I receive this error message: "An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://localhost:1671/Services/. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details." Has anyone seen this before I have the same problem but I am not using .svc file. Apparently, the problem occurs when I incr ...Show All

• DiasVFX VSTO on server

  Is it possible to deploy VSTO on a webserver, or server farm, in order to import uploaded Excel spreadsheets in a richer manner than allowed by OLE DB or ODBC I ask this in the context of working for a major corporation with a strong MS relationship and just about unlimited quantities of all, or nearly all, MS licensed products under the sun. Hi Andrew It's still not clear exactly what you need to do and what these sheets actually contain, but... Have you considered using XML (list objects linked to XML data files), if you need dynamic data updating while the user is working Or - as long as the workbooks don't contain any objects - using the XML file format, which would allow you to create/proces ...Show All

• Rtalan Help with Object Data Provider.

  I really don't have code to post because I am not sure the correct way to do this, or even if using a ObjectDataProvider is what I want. What I would like to do is take the UI interface from the example here: http://blogs.msdn.com/atc_avalon_team/archive/2006/03/15/551721.aspx And morph it to use a database. I've established the connection to the database and verified its working, my problem is I don't know how to properly establish the binding, or if I should just do it 100% from VB code behind. However, if I do it that way, I think I will lose the ability to group in my list view. I've been banging at the objectdataprovider for a couple of hours with no luck. As an example the field names are: name, billdate, billhours, client, ...Show All
