• Visual Studio Tools for Office Changing ReplyTO field automatically

  I'm currently developing an internal web app that uses a mail-to tag to send an email.  But I have to be able to change the reply-to field, or from address in the email automatically.  I'm pretty sure there is no way to do that through a mailto tag, but could somebody please let me know one way or the other if they know. Also since the mailto probably won't be sufficient to do what we need it to do. . . could somebody give me a recommendation as to how I could make this happen ie:  Bill clicks "Send EMAIL" but when he sends the email, it needs to be from support@acompany.com , not bill@aCompany.com . . . and it must be sent through outlook. could I use vsto to do this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Clipboard Help

  Hello all, good morning :) need some help with this one please: I have 6 textboxes on my form. I need to assign each textbox with a shorcut key (eg. alt + 1, atl+2 etc..) and then copy the contents to the clipboard. I take it that I would have to put the code in a timer event & would the shorcut keys still work even if the form is not displayed on the screen Thanks, Stuart Hi there. I've been thinking and thinking about what you are proposing about taking in input when the form has no focus and I think it's an awful idea. I'm not really huge on standardization but the potential problems go beyond simply standards but cross proper system functioning. The api routine you ...Show All

• SQL Server Stored Proc. With Multiple Database Reads

  I am trying to write stored procedures that deny table-level read/write to the sproc_user login. Here is what I want to do: Make a sproc_user login and allow public access to a database called KM. Within KM database, write stored procedures that query and update tables that may exist on either of three databases: KM, QM, or REP. However, I can get the stored procedure to read/write to tables on KM database, where sproc exists, as long as I grant execute rights to the login. However, how do I allow my stored procedures to SELECT, INSERT, and UPDATE to tables within QM and REP You can provide your sproc_user login permissions to execute the appropriate stored procedures and functions, as well as NO ...Show All

• Visual Studio Breakpoint will not currently be hit. No symbols loaded for this document.

  I have been 'developing' with Visual Studio 2005 for about 3 weeks now - primarily .NET class libraries developed with VB. I am coming from VB6, although I did a lot of development with Visual C++ several years ago, so I am still trying to come to terms with the debugger. I have read many threads posted by people who are having a problem with breakpoints, specifically with the message in the subject line above. There have been many suggestions on how to fix this problem. Sometimes these suggestions work, sometimes they do not. Most of the suggestions involve deleting DLL and PDB files and rebuilding, or restarting Visual Studio. None of them suggest any problem with something the developer has done or any problem with the configuration of ...Show All

• .NET Development How do you get the number of CPUs?

  How do you get the number of CPUs or CPU cores present on the system your .NET application is running on I guess it's either in the System.Diagnostics or System.Threading namespaces. I'm interested in dividing a task (consisting of several unconnected problems) between multiple threads so that the CPU or core count can be exploited for better performance. The FxCop code analysis tool's number of threads defaults to the number of CPUs (or cores). ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System VS2003 against TFS

  Hi, I have migrated VS2003 project from VSS to TFS. I have installed MSSCCI Provider for connection with TFS from IDE VS2003. In IDE VS2003, I have connected to TFS. When I checked out some file under Source Control, then I changed it and Checked in, this file, project and solution kept in check out state. And I might to do undo check out. Sometime, this action made the problem, by rolling back the actions, which I did. I have also noticed that, TFS made double folder structure to local folders (It was copying parent folder to new folder which had the same name as parent folder), because TFS added new mappings to current workspace. It's expected behavior And what can I do instead of undo check out Thanks Janko Hi, ...Show All
