• Visual Studio Tools for Office Could Not Load Assembly 'Office, Version=11.0.0.0,............

  Hi, I am performing Word 2003 automation using C#, VSTO 2005. When the application is deployed, it works fine on most of the machines, but in a few scenarios i get some errors like "System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could Not Load Assembly 'Office, Version=11.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, ........." The machines where the automation fails too have Office 2003 installed, but whenever some excel is opened, it proceeds to perform some installation. It could be because of Office not being fully installed. Is there any way to check the same using C# to whether the minimum Word requisites are met on the machine prior to performing the automation using C# That sounds like the Office PIAs (primary interop assemblies) are missing ...Show All

• Visual C# Raising events from one thread to other

  Hello, I am new in C# and would appreciate any information on standard ways to raise events from worker thread (System.Threading.Thread) to the main UI thread, where the main form is created and lives. Here I interested in the events only (as they usually used within the thread scope), not Control.Invoke()/BeginInvoke(), not BackgroundWorker class, as they are more or less learnt and OK. By default, raised events go to the same thread, is it the only behavior If not, how I should redirect them into UI thread's message loop Thank you in advance. Hi, I have developed different multi-threaded applications and whenever I had the same situation then I used Invoke(). It always worked fine for me. I don ...Show All

• .NET Development Why do GZipStream compression ratio so bad?

  I tested on multiple files and GZipStream can only reduce the file size to ~70% of the original files. I tried the same files with GZip.exe utility from http://www.gzip.org/ and it can compress the files down to 50% of the original files. Am I missing something here I don't see any options in the GZipStream that I can set to make the result better. Thanks, hdp. Afaik. The reason for the compression level not being as good as with some other applications is that the most efficient compression algorithms on the market are all patent-protected. .net on the other hand uses a non-patented one. So the answer to your question would be, no, you haven't missed anything. Unless I've missed something... ...Show All

  Appreciated if anyone could tell me how to configure a service which implements two or more contracts(interfaces) within WCF configuration editor. The service is expected to be hosted in IIS as well. You need two endpoints for two different contracts. After adding the first endpoint (with the "Create a New Service" option), you can click on the "Services" folder and select "Create a New Service Endpoint" for the first service, or you can expand the tree of the service up to the endpoints folder, then right-click it to add a new endpoint. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Free May 06 library and VS6

  I was greatly impressed with the free version of the MSDN library. One thing I noted in the download page was: By default, it does not integrate with Visual Studio 6 Which means it can. Ages ago I lost my MSDN Library for Visual Studio 6 Pro cd and now I have lost all access to help which is important because I quite frankly prefer COM to NET, I find it more lighter and faster. How do you integrate it Glenn is largely correct, though there is still a lot of archival content in MSDN. Irrespective of the content in the versions of MSDN that shipped with VS 6 and later products, the underlying help system and interfaces entirely changed between VS 6 (circa 1998) and VS 7.0/.NET (circa 2002).

• Visual Basic How to debug windows paint messages within and across applications

  Hello, I am using Windows XP and VS 2005 with VB.net and I am writing a solution consisting of a set of applications, all running at the same time, with other applications. I have 4 monitors, which means a lot of real estate for applications. I have observed that my applications cause other applications to redraw their screen. This is most frequently when I use the DataGridView control. Scrolling the DataGridView at one point causes a burst of redraws in those applications, and I have to wait until the storm is over. Question: how can I catch and eliminate the messages that are obviously sent from my application to Windows (and thus to the other applictaions). The other problem with paint messages: Within one application, I ...Show All
