• Visual Studio Tools for Office VSTO 2007 Data Architecture Question

  from an architectural point of view, is it possible for me to develop an application using Outlook 2007 as the UI, but to store all the data from my custom form regions inside a third party database. in this scenario, i would not be creating any Outlook message items and would not be saving them to the default data store. I would create a dummy MAPIFolder to allow me to insert a custom NavigationItem. But when users searched on this folder or requested a View from it, I would be searching directly on the database. is this feasible, and is this an approved way to do things thanks. hi - please let me rephrase this post in case it was confusing. my aim was to use Outlook 2007 purely as a UI. i wa ...Show All

• .NET Development Calling C# webservice from Visual C++ 6 using SOAP

  Iam trying to call a C# DotNet 2003 webservice from Visual C++ 6 app (used win32 console, mfc, atl_mfc dll) using Soap toolkit 3. The webservice takes a String input parameter and returns a String.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office MS Office add-in with licensed components

  Hi I wonder if I can write a MS Office add-in with VSTO that uses some third part licensed components. How the licenses will be "transfered" to the executing process (e.g. Outlook.exe) Can I use licensed components in my add-in or I have to use only the components that are shipped with Visual Studio (For example I've tried it with TxTextControl and is not working). First of all I'd like to thank you for your answer. I know that if the licenses are only in the licenses.licx of a dll that uses the third-party component and not in the licenses.licx of exe (that calls this dll) then third-party component is not working. I think that this is fair enough because third-party vendors do not want someone ...Show All

• Windows Forms .net 2.0 programmatically add a row in datagridview

  Hello, I display all the data in a datagridview programmatically. The grid is non editable. When I click on a ADD button, it will dynamically add a ROW.

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Cannot publish even the simplest Word solution

  Hello all, I have a problem publishing in VSTO 2005. No matter what I do, I keep getting the same error message when I open up the published Word doc. The error message is: "The current .NET security policy does not permit the customization to run. Do not change the security policy in your computer. The .NET security policy is controlled by your administrator or the developer who wrote the customization. You can still edit and save the document. Contact your administrator or the author of this document for further assistance."

• SQL Server loop to run 'Create Trigger' script?

  I need to run a script to create a trigger on 18 tables on 3 databases. The code is identical with the exception of the table and trigger names at the beginning.

• Visual Basic Coding Listbox Puzzle

  I want to display a list of employees (by employee number) that have performance results >90 in certain jobs. some employees may appear more than once on the list. I need a good solution that will indicate who is the top performer - who appears most. I'm thinking about using a list box and add emp# to the list - how do I figure out which emp # appears most on the list I didn't want to use a database.... any ideas, codes on using a listbox There are over 30,000 emp #. Job transactions may be in the millions. Thanks. There's always a hashtable.

• Visual C++ breakpoints and watches in un/managed c++/cli mixed code

  I'm adding managed c++ (c++/cli) code to a mostly unmanaged project and I'm finding that I cannot put any breakpoints in the managed portions and that watches don't return any useful information. Is this a feature, or is there a workround TIA Nope, has no effect. It doesn't seem to matter whether I set the debugger type to mixed, managed only, native only or auto; it only and always breaks in native code. The project has no clr support, while the managed cpp module has /clr set. By the same token I only get intellisense in native code, it's like the olden days of coding with a separate text editor and compiling at the command line, but not in a good way. ...Show All
