• Visual Studio Tools for Office Bug Caching Non-DataSet objects in ServerDocument???

  Is there a bug with caching objects that are not DataSets in Office 2k3 docs Although the examples state that anything xml-serializable can be cached using the "Cached()" attribute, I have had no luck trying to cache a simple string in a Word doc. My code in ThisDocument.cs is something like: public partial class ThisDocument {     string id = string .Empty;     [Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Runtime.Cached()]     public string ID     {         get { return id; }         set { id = value; }     }   I used to just have a public string that I left null but when I did that the cach ...Show All

• Smart Device Development exception thrown from InitializeComponent

  Hi All, I would like to ask if anyone has ever come across the same things. There is a file that is being deployed (VS properties: content) with the system. I would expect the system MAY fail after InitializeComponent given if there are anything wrong with the file. Or at least, when we start doing something with the file. However, this time, my system fail and throw System.ArgumentException from InitializeComponent() everytime if the file is not being deployed (VS properties: none). Strangely enough, it run successfully if I put System.Threading.Thread.Sleep (500) just before InitializeComponent. I make sure it is failed from InitializeComponent by putting a breakline in before and after the function and also use try ..catch. ...Show All

• Windows Forms How can i get and set the value of a column from a TableAdapter, BindingSource, BindingNavigator

  How can i get and set the value of a column from a TableAdapter, BindingSource, BindingNavigator Alex Hi Alex, If you are using TableAdapters then you also have a backing DataSet. The easiest way to get or set a particular column value is through the DataSet. The following example changes a column on the Customers table in a Northwind database: Dim customersTableAdapter As New NorthwindDataSetTableAdapters.CustomersTableAdapter() Dim myDataSet As New NorthwindDataSet() customersTableAdapter.Fill(myDataSet.Customers) myDataSet.Customers(0).City = "New York" customersTableAdapter.Update(myDataSet) ' Have to call update to send the column change back to the da ...Show All

• Visual Basic Correct way to deploy Assemblies?

  Hope I am posting in the correct spot. I have built 2 DLL's in VB.NET2K5. I have multiple projects that refer to these assemblies (Specific Version & NOT local). I built a setup project to install my assemblies -> GAC After I deploy my Assemblies, I deploy one of my projects. Both install no problem. When I try to run my EXE that was installed, I get a runtime exception of "InvalidOperationException". My question is, what is the correct way to deploy an assembly(s) to another machine, so that the assembly does not have to be a local copy/specific version Kevin My deployed application doesn't give me that option. This is what I get; ".....application has encountered a problem an ...Show All

• SQL Server Distributed Transaction

  Hi again, I do not know when to use Distributed Transaction. Would you please give an example about its usage or give a tutorials about this Thanks joeydj , Indeed thanks very much for your really explanatory reply. And yes, I finally kept the idea about distibuted transactions however I have still some questions to you. The advantages of using distibuted transactions is that it provide programmers to utilize from the ACID properties even if programmers use datas from different Servers. So, my question is that what happen if we do this operation(using data from different servers) with local transactions (with only one transactions ) Does this create any error In my opinion; if we attempt to use l ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista using components and library inside a driver

  Hi guys, just another question: I read it is not possible to create a driver in C# (for example) because it is necessary to work with unmanaged code. Fair enough.
