• Visual Basic Are you running MSDN Library

  Hi, we are currently migrating our VB.NET VS 2003 projects to VS 2005. Some of our developers are experiencing performance problems with their VS 2005 IDE. These problems are becoming a blocking issue since it slows down their development time... The performance problems are multiple: slow builds, slow Intellisense, ... but when opening a designer screen with a PropertyGrid (eg. the "Properties" - "Compile" window of a VB.NET project's properties, the "embedded resource editor", ...) is really slow. The PropertyGrid draws itself one 'cell' every second, and in the case of a resource file with 100+ lines this takes a very long time to render. When we place another window over this property grid, or if we 'hide' ...Show All

• Windows Forms Create toolstrip with default buttons

  Hi, I want to create a new toolstrip with some default buttons (something like the bindingnavigator). I create a new class exToolstrip Public Class exToolstrip Inherits ToolStrip I add the toolstripbuttons in the InitializeComponent Public Sub New() MyBase.New() InitializeComponent() End Sub Ho wever, in my testproject i can't change the inserted toolstripbuttons or reorder them. this is normal, but i want something else: in the bindingnavigator, for example, you can change the buttons because the buttons are not in the bindingnavigator itself, but are added in the form in the InitializeComponent class. I want to make a control to do the same. Any idea thx in advance, Stijn W ...Show All

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums Can you use VBA to access a spread sheet embedded in a word doc?

  I am trying to use VBA code written in MSWord to access an embedded spread sheet. I can't find any documentation on how this is suppose to work. Does word access the sheet through an instance of excel Is the sheet part of the document so I can find it in the "ThisDocument " I have tried everything I can think of, so any help would be appreciated. The primary verb is to activate, same as clicking the object. You can use that but there is no code to deactivate the object when completed.

• SQL Server OpenRowSet fails in SQL 2005 even when Ad Hoc allowed

  I have a Windows 2003 64-bit server running SQL 2005. I am trying to run an OpenRowSet query, but I am getting " "cannot create instance of linked server" (null)" The OpenRowSet I am trying to run was running perfectly fine on the same machine before we moved to SQL 2005 and runs fine on many other machines - so I do not think it is an issue with the openrowset itself. When I've had his issue on other machines, I have run the following: sp_configure 'show advanced options', 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO sp_configure ‘Ad Hoc Distributed Queries’, 1; GO RECONFIGURE; GO And I could then run the Ad Hoc queries fine. But, when I try ...Show All

• Visual C++ 'Use Managed Extensions' woes

  I have a native C++ DLL that stands in-between a high level C# application and a low level proprietary driver (all built under Visual Studio 2003) and was recently found to be not working properly when managed extensions were enabled but is fine when they are not, and of course we need em. The problem seems to lie in a rather ugly data structure that is defined like so: struct CalData_T { short LinCountsNb[64]; short LinCountsWb[64]; short MaxAgcErr[76]; short AttenOnErr[76]; struct Tuner_T { short AgcCounts[32]; short TunerGain[32]; }Tuner[76]; short Temp; }CalData; When populating this structure with data we can access ...Show All

• Visual C++ Linker Error LNK2001 When Calling a Function from a DLL

  Hi, I am using VC++ 6.0 Standard Edition, trying to call a function from a DLL using the Load Time method. The .exe compiles fine, but it seems that the linker does not see the .lib and gives me the 2001 error. I'm guessing it could be an IDE parameter that I have missed.

• Windows Forms non-bound grid control in .NET? (like MSHFlexGrid)

  I'm halfway through writing a mini spreadsheet-like application in VB6 where the user can freely enter text into a table of cells, format them, get results from simple maths, etc. I would now like to rewrite in VB 2005 Express but can't find a suitable unbound grid control to replace MSHFlexGrid in .NET. I would prefer not to use a COM component if possible (and have seen quite a few worrying notes in the forums on MSHFlexGrid behaving badly in .NET). Is there a .NET based control I could use DataGridView seems to insist on being bound to data so isn't suitable (unless there's a property I can set to unbind it ). My application won't be bound to data, but lets the user type whatever data they want into the cells. ...Show All
