  Hello, I cannot find the way to implement certificate as security for my vsto word application. how can i do that references thanks Hilla i will make myself more clear - i need a security mothod that i can set once on installation - and then be able to use on vsto documents which are not present during this initial installation.

• .NET Development Regex problems

  Hi all, I'm having problems with Regex, or more accurately trying to find the right expression to use. Basically I've opened up a text file, and I'm reading in the lines, and at a certain point I need to get a certain part of the line. the line I'm trying to read is: Color [Lime] Reading the line is no problem, but what I want to do is extract the word between the brackets(there are two different lines in the file that I want to read) so that I can assign it to a textbox color. I've tried some different expressions like "Color [(.* )]" and "/\Color \[(.* )\]" which have failed miserably. Does anyone have any suggestions The code I have at the moment is Regex *regex = new Regex(S"Color [(.* )]"); St ...Show All

• .NET Development WebClient.UploadData: interpret the response

  I'm using the WebClient class to post a XMLDocument to an aspx page. I will encounter situations where this will be done for a great number of XMLDocuments... I loop a number of XMLDocuments and post each of them to the aspx page. What I need is to implement code to handle the possibility that the aspx page might not be able to handle all the data. For example, the web server might go down. Here's my code to post the xml: public static void PostXmlToUpdateService( XmlDocument d) { XmlDocument doc = d; XmlElement rot = doc.DocumentElement; rot.SetAttribute( "topicmap" , ConfigurationManager .AppSettings[ "topicmap" ]); Byte [] byteData = Encoding .UTF8.GetBytes(doc.OuterXml); WebClient wc = new W ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. kW X-porter is updated for 3ds Max 9

  I have finally had time to build and test the kW X-porter plug-in to export .X files from 3ds Max 9. This exporter does better than the DirectX SDK exporter (like, it actually does multiple animations), and has a few more bells and whistles than the PandaSoft exporter. Also, with 3ds max 9, the stock IGame.dll file is not overwritten, as the right version is included from Autodesk. http://www.mindcontrol.org/~hplus/graphics/kwxport.html Note: most users claim kW works fine for them, and some users get crashes. I can look at the crashes and fix them if I get a copy of the .max file. The e-mail for questions is found in the installed documentation. I updated the exporter for Max 8 and Max 9 to fix the problem where nothing was export ...Show All

• .NET Development VB.Net]How to draw an image with Graphics object on an MDI form

  I have a problem that when I draw an image, a string, a rectangle, etc. My form cannot be an MDI form. How can I draw on an MDI form directly. I tried somthing like: Dim g As Graphics g = Me .CreateGraphics g.DrawString("hello", Me .Font, Brushes.Blue, 100, 100) Please help me. I'm using VB.Net 2003, Framework 1.1 Eslam, At first glance I thought the problem you are experiencing had nothing to do with being or not being an MDI form, but rather when you are calling the graphics method, as it needs to be called in the context of a paint event (an event containing painteventargs) such as: Private Sub Form2_Paint( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System ...Show All

• SQL Server Deploy/edit reports in sharepoint integrated mode

  Hi, I'm working with the Dec CTP of SQL 2005 SP2 and the associated Sharepoint addin. I've been able to get a report created in VS2005 and manually uploaded to the Document Library holding reports, and the report works when I open it (using an internal datasource, not shared). My first problem is I can't get VS2005 to deploy datasources or reports to my doc library. I have configured TargetDataSourceFolder http://server/site/doclib TargetReportFolder http://server/site/doclib TargetServerURL http://server/ When I try to deploy my Shared Data Source, it asks me to login, and will not accept my credentials (I am farm administrator, and site collection administrator, and local administrator, and a site owner) Secondly, for ...Show All

• Windows Forms Help pls: DataSet...and TextBoxes, Navigator and BindingSource

  Hate to submit yet another qustion on this, but no matter what I do, nothing seems to work: This is VC++ 2005 Express with Net V2.0 on Windows2K SP4.

• SQL Server Problems with date formats

  The date fromat in my country (Australia) is DMY. It seems to be quite difficult to prevent the month and day being swapped around. I had a case recently where we generating a list of dates to be presented in the report server UI (User Interface) as a list box for a parameter selection. We fixed the problem in the data set (on the data tab) by using "SET DateFormat DMY" only to find that the month and day were still swapped around in the UI list box. If this was just a presentation issue we could live with it but it turned out that the value read into the parameter was incorrect (the day and month were actually swapped). To fix the problem, we had to chnage the data type to VarChar() in the data set query, using Convert() to force ...Show All
