• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) I hate June CTP

  While getting new releases of any software you may expect better experience. After Beta2 version of Windows SDK for Vista, former WinFX and Orcas beta 2 - I can see the situation which is not what I expected... First of all a lot of troubles with Windows SDK setup (which are now resolved) made me download DVD Image 3 times and finally I managed to get June SDK installed only using web-installer... And after all this what I really have I see that more than 50% of my projects I made with Beta2 don't work for a number of reasons: I get an error about mismatching version of PresentationCore.dll , I see that many things in the code are changed and I really dont understand why - for example I found this limitations for <Image Source ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Application object in Office 2007

  I use C# in Visual Studio 2005 to create a very simple "Hello World"-like add-on in MS Excel 2007. The add-on loads into a new tab on the Excel ribbon and works fine. But when I debug and put a breakpoint in the IDTExtensibility2.OnConnection method which fires when Excel opens, I expect to get access to the Excel application object from the application argument. However, the application argument is a COM-object. Doing the samen in MS Word 2007, I get access to the application object of type Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Applicationclass without problems. Is there any way I can access the Excel application object from my ribbon code Vegar Imsland Could someone tell me how to set this locale to & ...Show All

• SQL Server Sending parameter to SQL script file

  To update customers’ databases I use the command “sqlcmd -S .\SQLEXPRESS -i DBUpdate.SQL” through an InstallShield Wizard. One of the SQL statements within the DBUpdate.SQL file is a BULK INSERT statement that loads data from a text file. The path for the text file is known only at the time of execution. Is it possible to send the path as a parameter to the script file (DBUpdate.SQL) If so, how I would appreciate any help.

• Visual FoxPro System resolution

  Hi. How can I find out what the system resolution is, and how can I change it via FoxPro Thanks The "correct" solution is NOT to change your users screen resolution but to re-size your form. (What is a "formular" anyway ) VFP can detect the screen resolution - see SYSMETRIC() function - and you can have your form check the current resolution in its INIT() method and adjust itself to suit the user's set-up. There are plenty of free resizer classes available - just do a search on the internet and you will find some. Try a few and choose the one that suits your style best... Trust me, this is a much better solution than messing with your user's machine settings ...Show All

• SQL Server Paging issue on conditionally set second table visibility

  Hi. I am having a problem with a 2005 report that has two tables and is designed thru visual studio. The second table is set to page break before printing and also to repeater headers on new pages. It works fine just like that. However, if I place a condition on the visibilty of the table based on an input report parameter it does not page break before rendering the table. In fact it does not page break at all leaving me with an extremely long last page. The visiblity parameter does properly toggle. This is all occurring when rendering the report to the screen using the windows reportviewer. When I export to PDF it looks fine. Any help would be great. Yeah, I would consider really hard changing that ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL 2005 server seems to get slower and slower each night it runs

  I think it seems to be centered around the tempDB. Last Friday (3/17/2006) I took everything off the G: drive which is the TempDB MDF and LDF and all DB LDF's. I then placed the TempDB LDF back first on the drive then the TempDB MDF file back on the drive and the larger LDF's and then the smaller ones. So the G: drive is nice and clean, no fragmentation...I still have no fragmentation today. The server ran great on Friday night, great on Saturday night but slower as can be on Sunday night through right now ...Tuesday morning. But, only on some operations where the tempdb is hammered...everything else is fine. I check select * from tempdb . dbo . sysobjects where name like '#%' order by crdate desc an ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office property bag limitations

  Hi, I'm using a regular expression in my Word project and I'm using named groups in the regex. I know that VSTO creates a property bag to hold the key/value info corresponding to the named group. However, one of the named groups in my test document contains 550 characters (with spaces). In my regex editor, the entire expression is recognized with no problem but in VSTO the expression fails. I couldn't understand it until I started deleting some text from the suspect named group. When the text is down to around 450 characters then the entire expression is recognized in VSTO. Is there a limit on the amount of characters a property bag can contain If so, is this something that can be controlled How should I resolve this problem Tha ...Show All
