• Visual C# ExtractAssociatedIcon not working well for some extensions (ex: .XML)

  Hi, I am using the Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon to retreive the icon associated with some file extensions. While the code works generally fine, it does not return the expected Icon for some extensions, say .XML for example. I have also tried the Interop route (using the WIN32 API SHGetFileInfo, etc...), and it does the same thing, which I find quite logical. I suppose this is an issue with Windows more than .NET. Has any one fixed this Thanks Do you have a specific case that is causing you problems I am having no problem. Any icon displayed by Windows Explorer is working using Icon.ExtractIconAssociation . Here is the code I'm using for a simple WinForms app containing a text box, button to browse and a picture box. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Guidance Package Visual Studio 2005 Project Template not installed on Win XP Service Pack 2

  Hi After installing the GAX and GAT, I don't see any of Guidance Packages in my New Project dialog box. I've tried the installation process as stated in software factory documentation of Enterprise Library Dec 2006 CTP. Can anyone help me Thanks Ethan Hunt Hi Ethan, Sorry it took me a couple of days to get back to you. I'm afraid I've virtually ran out of ideas... :-( I've checked with other teams that are developing guidance packages and have installed .Net 3.0 and they're not having any issues. It's very weird that your installation finishes ok without any errors at all but there is not a single trace of GAX being installed on your machine... no files... no reg entries... Btw, have you had success installing it on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office ThisApplication_Startup not being called - ie. plugin not loading

    I have written an outlook plugin using VSTO. The plugin loads fine and works great if the user clicks on the outlook icon. On the other hand, if outlook is started via automation and then outlook is opened, the plugin does not load. These cases are described below. When the user signs on to windows xp with activesync set to run on startup. ActiveSync syncs with outlook by starting it through, AFAIK, automation. Now when the user opens Outlook by clicking on the outlook icon,  the plugin is not loaded. Another example is when the user has Outlook closed and they click on an oft file on their desktop, and then open Outlook, the plugin is not loaded. Please advise. Thanks. ...Show All

• SQL Server How do I use sq_addmessage?

  I have samples of the format for adding the message, but how do I actually get it into the database I tried adding it through Add Stored Procedure, but that didn't work. Do I save it into a text file If so, then what Using the stored procedure should be enough, did you try to call the messages you created using the RAISERROR with the appropiate number you created make sure, as this is a recommendation of Microsoft, that Message number should be above 50000 to make sure they don’t and won’t interfer with any predefined numbers.

• Visual Studio Team System Using VSS Converter for individual file(s)

  I had a quick question about vssconverter. My conversion stalled due to some network issue and vssconverter kept giving network or TFS errors (I forget the error number) when I tried to continue and do an incremental conversion. I then hacked the Conversion database to drop info. about the file it was choking on and viola! it continued somoothly. Now I'm left with that one file I need to check in. I created a temp folder in VSS and linked that file and then changed my settings file to use this folder with the target of the original location. Now, when I run vssconverter it keeps giving a TF60099 error (which basically states that mappings do not match) because it tries to do an incremental conversion. How can I reset the conver ...Show All
