• Visual Basic PDF Document Software

  Greetings to everyone. Apologies for perhaps posting this in the wrong place. I hoping that someone here can share some valuable experience and point me in the right direction. We currently have a customer VB.NET app that populates form fields in PDF documents from data in our SQL Server database. Currently the development teams gets the documents, adds the fields and produces some configuration (XML file) that defines the sprocs and parameters and which field from the resultset to put in which form field on the PDF. We would like to be able to supply a member of our admin team the ability to just choose the fields from a list and place them on the PDF and the configuration to be generated automatically. That way they could maintain them ...Show All

If you're not using VSTO technology, then you're asking in the wrong place, which is why the answers you're getting here may be confusing you. I recommend you pursue this question in the Outook programming newsgroup. You'll find people there who specialize in Outlook automation questions, also using VB.NET. Please compose a detailed problem description that outlines exactly what you need to do, your background in Office/COM automation (or that you have none) ...Show All

• .NET Development Can I delegate the responsibility of implementing an interface?

  Hello. I've got this idea, and I seem to recall having seen it possible in Delphi 7, and wondered whether it is possible: I want to have an application that implements an interface. The thing is, I do not want the application main class itself to implement the interface, I want its children to do so. For example if I have an interface ISomething, and an application SomeApp.exe, I want to be able to say, that if the SomeApp class inherits from ISomething, then obviously it implements it somehow: Perhaps SomeApp's mainform implements some of the properties, perhaps a subform implements others, and two controls implement three different methods each. The thing is, no single class implements the interface in its entirety, but on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Reports

  Hi! How can I made the query parameters of my dataset be set as report parameters I have a report (*.rdl) that calls a dataset that have a query parameter (@param1) And I have the report in the report server.

• Visual Studio MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENT FOR APPLICATION DEVELOPED WITH VS 2005

  Hi, I want to know what the absolute minimal system requirement to run an application developed with Visual Studio 2005 is. What should a potential developer keep in mind as he starts his design I created an application with Office XP Developer (2002) only to find (much later) that it would not run on systems below Windows 2000. I am sorry if this is not the right forum to post this question but I don't know the appropriate one. Glint. Thanks Paul, much appreciated. Minimum requirements would be Windows 98 however some functionality maybe disabled or not available in Windows 98. It all depends on the OS when you are running the application.

• Gadgets Rendering problems of the gadgets (mainly the height)

  About the ccs problems, the problems rendering the height of the gadgets in Live Spaces. Maybe is not just that the problem... I have noticed that if I right click the gadget and I refresh the start.com service which starts the gadget, the gadget is rendered always in the right way. This happens with any gadget... So probably it is a problem of the page loading event or of the start.com service processing all the requests. ciao Some of them are still cut off on my browser. I think it has to do with what's cashed on your PC and if the images load before the resize command is called in the gadgets.. This issue is probably the most frustrating thing with third party gadgets and should be the first thing in MS agenda ...Show All

• Windows Forms Datagridview ColumnCurrency cell

  Hey everyone, Being a relatively new person to C# and .Net Forms in particular, I'm probably about to ask a neophyte question, and therefore apologize in advance if this is the case. That being said, I'm seeing strange behavior in my DataGridView component. One of the cells is formatted as a CurrencyColumn. In this column, when a user input a value using the keypad, the cell doesn't recognize the period on the keypad. However, the cell DOES recognize the period on the main keyboard. Is this normal behavior I'm sure there's something simple I'm overlooking, but I can't seem to find it. Thank you for your advice, Fletch ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Connecting to Web Services from CF2.0 Device
