• Visual Studio Tools for Office Uninstalling or upgrading existing outlook add-in

  Every time we want to install a new version (with changes) of outlook add-in; if it is already installed we have to first uninstall the previous version by going to add/remove programs.

• Microsoft ISV Community Center Forums DLookup help?

  Hi there - im building a contact management system and require some help. I have previously had help with VBA in terms of defining what users can and cant do within the system when logging in via a username and password which was incredibly useful. Im now at further along the route and now want to incorporate an activity system that will record all hours that employees will have worked against clients. However we have a lot of clients! The users login name('login_name' which is held in 'tblusers') is also entered into a 'leadofficer' field in 'tblcompany' so that we know which user is responsible for managing that client - this is done through a combo box on the company entry form so it looks up the values from the table 'tblusers'.

• SQL Server "fractional truncation" trying to insert time value into smalldatetime via SQL Native Client ODBC

  The following represents a change in behavior between the SQL Server ODBC driver and the SQL Native Client ODBC driver. I noticed a similar post about this issue, but the scenario below is slightly different. I'm trying to insert a SQL_C_TIME value into a smalldatetime column (SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP) via a parameterized insert. With the SQL Server driver, I receive the "fractional truncation" warning with a SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO from the SQLExecute, but the value is still inserted into the table. With the SQL Native Client driver, I again get the "fractional truncation" and SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO, but the value is NOT inserted into table. Here's how to reproduce in ODBC Test.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Why can I not see the wsdl file?

  Hello friends. Well, when I self-host services and enable mex of course, I can see the wsdl file. However when I host it on IIS7, even the most basic sample, I can host it and I can use svcutil to download metadata and everything, but when I click on the URL for the wsdl file, the page gives me error and I can't get to wsdl file. Did anyone have the same problem as I do Is there any solution for this Thank you. Sorry guys, I got it working.

So the error I was getting was, it cannot look up the ipaddress of "computer name" and DNS server gave back the&nbs ...Show All

• .NET Development Serializing an object to send through remoting

  Hello, I'm currently working on a project for a school assignment: I need to be able to configure a self-made server that monitors OPC servers through remoting. At the moment I'm very stuck at this problem: I have IONode objects (IONode is a class from IDN IO-dll), and I need to send them from client to server. To do this they need to be serialized, but i cant place [Serializable] at the IONode class because I dont have the source files. Is there any way to send or serialize these objects without adjusting the source files Greetings, Jeroen Van Bastelaere Student multimedia & communication technology - option industrial data processing at PIH - Kortijk - Belgium I tried to make a wrapper clas ...Show All

• Windows Forms "Could not find File <path>\<filename>.InstallState" same symptom, but different cause (I think)

  Hi, I have created a Visual Studio 2003 setup project. It has two custom actions implemented as two separate C# library projects. Both of the custom actions are added to the install phase. Only the second one is added to the rollback phase. If the first custom action fails in the install phase the second one is not run. Which is what I want. But, the setup project then runs the the Rollback method of the second custom action and complains that "Could not find File <path>\<filename>.InstallState". I don't want the second custom action to rollback if the first custom action has failed on install. How can I prevent this from happening Thanks. McGeeky I have 3 custom actio ...Show All

• SQL Server SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver Output Parameter/Result Set issue

  I'm having an issue with the JDBC driver when I execute a stored procedure that both has a return value and also returns a result set. If I attempt to retrieve the return value (registered as an output parameter) after I execute the stored procedure, then any subsequent attempts to retrieve the result set always return null. Is this by design If I use the result set first and then later get the return value that works; however, in my situation I need to first check the return value before I work on the result set.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Installer that requieres WPF

  Hi! I want to user installer for my program deployment. And i want to be sure that user could run my program. I think that the better way will be to add some launch condition that requires .NET 3.0 on target machine. But when i try to set value "3.0.4121.6" to the .Net launch condition property i get error message that this version of rumtime is invalid. How can i get through that Do you have specific custom actions that you want your MSI to accomplish I'm curious why you aren't using ClickOnce as a deployment technology. Also, if bootstrapping the .NET Framework 3.0 is the reason for forgoing ClickOnce, you might want to consider using the setup bootstrapper that Visual Studio can create for yo ...Show All
