• Visual C++ COM DLL, regsvr32 and manifest - blech!

  I have a COM DLL that relies on MSVCR80.dll and when I try to register it with regsvr32.exe I get a "loadlibrary failed -2147220473" error.  If I create a regsvr32.exe.manifest file and place it with regsvr32.exe, then it works.  There has to be a better solution though.  I can't count on target PCs having regsvr32.exe.manifest installed (and I'd rather not install it if possible). OK tjhat's a different manifest issue. Only the manifest for the EXE can set the requestedExecutionLevel. This can't be done at the DLL AFAIK. Here's a manifest for this: < xml version = " 1.0 " encoding = " UTF-8 " standalone = " yes " > < assembly xmlns = " ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System How to run MSTest from windows application?

  Hi, I am writing a automation tool to test installation and functions of both Server.DLL and Client.DLL. To verify installation test I developed a windows app that installs server, client and test project. Now over this, I loaded all the test methods from the test projects. I want to let the tester choose the test methods and run that through MSTest.EXE and send report in email. Now, problem i faced is when try to run MSTEST.EXE from System.Diagnostic.process, The system gives error saying MSTEST file is not found. obiviously because it resides in VS.NET folder which our project cannot locate. How can I make it independent of the MStest.exe's location thanks, kesh Hello, I think you can ...Show All

• Architecture Office Automation in .NET

  Hi, We have a Documentation system which generates some output documents based upon some pre-defined templates in MS Word. What we did in the past was, we designed these templates in Word. We had a Visual Basic dll which dynamically merge the data into these templates using Mail Merge feature. Now we are enhancing/upgrading this application. I was wondering if we can get rid of this Mail Merge some way because using MS Word on server with COM+ causes many unwanted scenarios, like Word instances remain open and eats memory, Some unwanted data appears in Mail Merge fields and Word opens a pop up etc. Can anyone suggest something more useful Thanks, Pranshu! Yes the documents need to be mainta ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Automatic conversion of workflow type to XAML

  Hi, Is there any tool available for converting a workflow type to XAML format Regards, Chakri. Daniel, I think this is not what the initial poster is asking, this is serializing a workflow instance, not the workflow definition. I posted a similar question a while back and got no answer. The problem I have is that we started developing a code based workflow and would now like to convert it to XAML with code behind but apparently we're stuck with our initial choice and it's now too much work manually convert the workflow to XAML. -- Nuno ...Show All

• .NET Development Excel and ODBC

  So I'm using ODBC to connect to an Excel spreadsheet. I use an Adapter with the simple SELECT * FROM [Sheetname$] to fill a DataTable. The problem is the DataTable doesn't fill correctly. I went ahead and just attached the DataTable to a DataGridView and noticed there were missing values. Specifically where values above them were different. Ex. Value in [4][4] = "1/1/2002". Therefore it expects every value in [x][4] to be a date. Entire columns of data are missing I'm guessing because they didn't match the first data type encountered in that column. Is there a work around for this No, I don't want to use COM. They do not want to have Microsoft Office installed simply to use this application. This is why I'm using OD ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Team Build & WAP - Only drops DLL-files, not any of the content - bug or by design?

  I finally got my WAP to be successfully built as a Team Build (which got references to files in another Team Project, so I had to mess around in TFSBuild.proj). But in the Drop folder I only got a Folder called Release with the binaries (the DLL files). What happened to all content files Aspx, ascx, jpg, gif, folders and so on A quote by ScottGu from 17 april 2006: "Yep -- we will support team build . There is an issue with the current RC with team build not copying content files." This sounds like WAP would support Team Build in version 1.0. If not.... how should I get the content files in the drop folder Okey! I will copy the files manually. But I would like to copy files that is marked as Content under Build Action. I ...Show All

• Visual Studio Newbie: Modify web page code-behind from DesignerActionList?

  I've created a custom DesignerActionList for a custom web control. For one of my DesignerActionMethodItems, I would like to generate code to be inserted/updated in the web page's code-behind file. How can I do this You can use VS Design Time Extensibility (DTE) to insert code into the project. The following code will get you to the project item that the designer is editing. From there you can use DTE to get the project item of the codebehind file. From there you can get the file code model. The file code model will allow you to parse the file and insert code where needed. EnvDTE.ProjectItem projectItem = (EnvDTE.ProjectItem)Site.GetService(typeof(EnvDTE.ProjectItem)); Here are some relavent pointers for accessing DTE. Not ...Show All
