  Hi - When I run my VBA code to output text against IDs into fields in my Access DB, I get into an infinite loop without results or errors. How would I teak my code, specifically the subrst.Fields.Count syntax in a Do While statement, to output text results in my DB. I have attached the code to see if someone can spot my problem.

• SQL Server Excel Worksheets Become Corrupt -- Bad Metadata?

  One of my main users has had a few Office 2003 SP2 worksheets go corrupt on him and I can't seem to figure out why. For performance reasons, I recommended that he use page filters whenever possible. As of late, he'll send a workbook along that has a few page filters (between 3 and 4) and one of the page filters gets mixed up somehow. For example, let's say he has a Product Line page filter and a Product Name page filter. The Product Line page filter has multiple selections enabled and he will go ahead and select a few product lines and save the file so he can simply refresh the data in the future. Eventually, the Product Name filter will actually contain the Product Lines and the Product Line filter becomes unusable, usually resulting in a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office How to get the Excel dialog that allows to select multiple cells?

  Hi team, I am working on a project, and am looking for a way to click a botton on the Actions pane that opens an Excel dialog like the one in the chart data area selection that allows me to select several cells by dragging the mouse over them; even using Ctrl- and Shift for multiple selections. The resulting cells should be shown on a textbox like "A2:A7" or "A2;A4:A7". I am programming the application in C#. Thanks for your help Doriak Misha, Thank yor for the answer. I have only one final question. I tested the method, and saw that the returning string (rng.get_address()) does not returns a sheet name in case that you select a cell range different from the current ...Show All

• Gadgets Help test the screensaver gadget

  Before releasing this to the masses, I was wondering if a few of you could go ahead and install my gadget and see if it works. It works on my machine but may not on someone else's if things don't register correctly. The gadget is a simple screensaver gadget that embeds a screensaver that you choose into its window (see http://blogs.msdn.com/photos/markhsch/picture1718045.aspx for a screenshot of it using the Ribbons screensaver). If you install it and it displays a white window with a red x, remove the gadget and re-add it to the sidebar to see if it goes. If you do test, please post on this thread with your results (either positive or negative). Thanks and here's the link: http://www.schmidt6.com/blogfiles/ScreenSaverGadget. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System how to retrieve source control structure

  A team project has already been created and i need to retrieve and display its source control structure (list of folders in source control) in my application programatically. How can i do it Manasi Call GetItems() with RecursionType.OneLevel on the folder you want to display. When the user drills into another folder, call GetItems() again. Cache the results of each call. This will be much faster than doing a full recursive query at the beginning.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Design Question - What is the best way to implement a human readable string mapping for enum values?

  We have various enumerated types in our system and we obviously want to present human readable values that can be easily configured by our UI folks rather than the cryptic identiofiers that we use in the code. Just wondering what facilities are available in .NET 3.0 to accomodate this kind of thing. In the old days, I would use some sort of string resource and a mapping table for the lookup. Anybody got any cool/slick ideas on this Thanks NIK This all great stuff guys, Thanks. Luckily 1) Localization is not an issue - probably the last English-only app. in the world, but I'm not complaining. 2) We own the code for all the enums. Seems like whether or not I use XAML resources or traditional string resources ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Is it possible to pre-fetch data from a relationship or make it fetch on-demand instead of requiring a call to .Load()?

  While on the subject of loading foreign key references... Is there some mnemonic I can throw into the LINQ query to tell LINQ to Entities that I want to pre-fetch all of the type data because I want to filter on it When I do: var filteredQuery = from game in gamesDb.VideoGames where game.Type.Name == "Nintendo Wii" select game; foreach (VideoGames g2 in filteredQuery) Console.WriteLine("{0} : {1}", g2.Title, g2.Type.Name); That thing works fine, and I don't have to loop through and call TypeRef.Load() Is there something I can stuff in the query when I'm not using a where clause that will force the TypeRef to pre-fetch Oh, something else occurred to me..

• Smart Device Development Serial Port problems

  Hi. Running Imate SP5m with .NET CF 2.0 SP1 I have contacted Imate (on the side: poor support) who confirm that Raw/Serial IR access is possible and is on COM3. In the registry it says COM4. Anyway... If I use the serial Port class to open COM4 and write to it, I have the issue where when we do a serialport.write("hi");, the application does nothing. it just hangs, no exceptions are thrown. It does not even get to serialPort.Close(); If I use the serial Port class to open COM3 and then write to it, I get an exception @ serialPort.Write("hi");: at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.WinIOError() at System.IO.Ports.SerialStream.Write() at System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.Write() at SerialIrTests.Form1.mnuStart_Click() at System.Windows.F ...Show All
