• Visual Studio Tools for Office Drag and Drop Outlook Contacts with specific items (FullName, etc.)

  edit (11PST 1-5-07) : OK! I figured out how to access the type as an outlook object for the DragDrop but my problem now is that it's just seeing the NeameName.msg that is the dragged contact as Text rather than an actual object (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ContactItemClass). Anyone have any ideas how I can cast the data rather than just checking to see if it is that type for the DragEnter private void onDragEnter( object sender, DragEventArgs e) { if (e.Data is Outlook. ContactItem ) { e.Effect = DragDropEffects .Copy; } } original: I am trying to drag and drop an outlook contact onto a form so that the code grabs each object within the contact (FullName, BusinessAddress, BusinessAddressCity, BusinessPhon ...Show All

• SQL Server Package cancelled

  Hi, I'm trying to transfer data from a DB2 database to a MS SQL Server database (approx. 150 000 rows). When I execute the package, the process is always cancelled (In output window: SSIS package "DB2_test_TranAddl.dtsx" finished: Canceled.) I use a view on DB2 to provide the data and I can modify it to return only a few rows.  To achieve this, I use a WHERE clause: WHERE OUTLET_NO Between X And Y. When I try OUTLET_NO Between 1 And 5 (255 rows) the package executes successfully. When I try OUTLET_NO Between 5 And 10 (388 rows) it works. When I try OUTLET_NO Between 1 And 10 (643 rows) it fails!! Any idea   Fleo, ...Show All

• SQL Server Importing related data

  I need to recreate a SQL 2005 db in a SQL 2000 server. So far I was able to recreate database schema, but I don't know how to import the raw data. I tried copy-pasting table data to the new db using SQL Server Management Studio Express, but there's a problem - the identity columns do not retain the correct values. For example: Old db table ID Username ------------- 15 Peter 45 James When pasting the same data to teh new db, I would get this: ID Username ------------- 1 Peter 2 James You can see the ID field values become different (since the ID attribute is an identity and the table in the new db is empty, the db picks the values 1 and 2 for the two records) and now when pasting data into related tables, I get the error because table ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reflecting domain property value on shape colour, outline etc..

  Hello, I need connectors and shape to refect property values. Therefore, I registered connector and shape observers to reflect property changes on relationships and domain elements. I am using OnAssociatedPropertyChanged event handlers. This works fine when I change a property value. The problem is to present the right aspect of shapes and connectors when the model is re-loaded in memory. In that case, the events are fired for the connectors but not for the shape. So when the model is loaded, the connectors are presented correctly but the shapes are not. Any idea Thanks Alain Hello Steven, I already worked around the problem like this. Don't know if this is what the DS ...Show All

  Hi! While removing a user from the group of valid tfs users I get the Error: TF50632 : An error occurred removing the group member. There is no group member with the security identifier (SID) The problem is that the user is a regular domain user and should be fine. I can remove other users without problem.

• Visual C++ newbie help: importing functions from a dll in a C++.net project

  Hi, I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. I am trying to create a C++ application (Win32 project/application) that imports functions from a DLL. The DLL, which I did not create, is a Win32 DLL (that uses MFC in a static library). The DLL .h and .cpp files do not contain any classes. Just functions with __declspec (dllexport). I think that my problem is that I am very new to .NET (I am not sure I should post this question in a different form). Here is what I have done: I tried creating a new solution and adding the DLL project to it and then building the project (to generate the .dll file). Then I added a new project to the solution and tried to: 1-Add the dll to this project as a reference: using Project -> References -&g ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Change scrollbar style within a ListView/GridView

  I'm using a ListView that contains a GridView, with a number of columns defined. This serves my current needs, except for the vertical and horizontal scrollbars that are shown within the ListView. I can't find any way to style them. For starters, I need to remove the gray scale look and replace it with colors that work with the overall theme of the application. Is there any documentation on how to style, or otherwise access properties of the scrollbar within a ListView Thanks.
