• Visual Studio Tools for Office Demand Loading of my Add-In

  Hi all, Is there any option to load an add-in to excel on demand. I do not want the add-in to be made visible always or only for specific document. I want this add-in to run only on one instance. Excel allows multiple instance to be open and as well open multiple instance of a document (in read only mode). Is there any way, I could call my addin as a command line parameter while opening Excel.EXE Hi I am sorry, in the previous message, i had mentioned using Excel.Exe /a. (to be corrected to Excel.Exe /automation) This is what I tried - Excel.Exe /automation C:\MyAddIn\MyAddIn\Bin\Debug\MyAddIn.dll. What happens now is as follows: Excel starts with the splash screen "Microsoft ...Show All

• Visual Basic Setting autopostback on dynamic control RadioButtonList

  I am creating a series of radiobuttonlists to display on a web page. I have created a handler for the SelectedIndexChanged event, but it does not fire when I change the selection--perhaps because autopostback is defaulting to false ( ). How can I set the autopostback to true on a dynamically created radiobuttonlist Lapin_agile P.S. If this is not the best forum for this question, ,please let me know where to post this.

• Smart Device Development Compact Framework 2.0 sp1 and Visual Studio 2005

  On the compact framework blog it says that Visual Studio 2005 Patch is "in progress" . Is this still in progress or can I download it somewhere Do I need this patch in order to develop apps on CF2sp1 At this point I've uninstalled cf2 and then installed cf2sp1 but all my windows mobile 5 project types are gone. I'm redownloading the sdks so that I can reinstall them but I'm guessing this will wipe out cf2sp1 or will cause some other issues. Let me know how to get cf2sp1 working in vs2005. Thanks! -- Bryant It still in progress… For now uninstalling RTM/installing SP1 should work.

• Visual Studio Team System Doubt with my class library projects in SDM files

  Hi, I was designing my app, but I don't know how modeling in my sdm file a class library project should I I mean, I have a DB, a WebService and a Win App, but between the DB and WebService I have a class library project for example dataAccess.

Thanks an advance, Roy I would recommend that you keep your existing solutions and project structure for general development work and then create a new solution that encompasses all of the projects that you can use for modeli ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Different between Workflows

  whats the different between creating workflows for windows sharepoint services workflow and creating workflows for windows without sharepoint . thanks alot. Hi Omar_Jordan, Windows Workflow foundation provides various levels of extensibility; among which are a rehostable runtime engine and an activitiy component by which you can describe your business logic in the semantics you desire. Several Microsoft products have used this engine and written custom activities for their specific end users. SharePoint happens to be one of those Microsoft products. Specifically, Sharepoint is hosting the WF runtime engine in process and has written a variety of activites to help people perform document lifecycle related workflows. Hope ...Show All

• .NET Development Sharing a common data set schema for multiple web services

  Hi, I have a solution with multiple web services that share the same typed dataset. Each time I add a reference to a web service to a client application it creates a new web refrence class that includes an imported version of the XSD for the typed dataset. Each web service reference then has its own typed data set class . Even though the dataset is the same each web service reference refers to it via a different namespace. How do I get the web service refrences to share a common reference to the data set schema so that they all use the same type -- David Worthington .Net Framework V2.0 added a functionality to solve this problem. wsdl.exe tool has new switch (/shareTypes) allowing for type sharing betwee ...Show All

• SQL Server Performance of a Queue vs Table

  I know we are not allowed to benchmark SQL Server but..... It would be nice to have material to present which demonstrates the performance gains using a queue compared to insert/delete in a SQL table. Logically it seems faster to use a queue due to the conversation grouping locking and the service broker itself. But there seems to be some overhead involved just to manage these queues that the service broker has to perform. I am sure we are not unique with the choice to figure out if we will get a boost in performance using SQL a queue between services rather than a table to queue data. What is available to help understand the performance gains of using a queue I have been doing some testing wit ...Show All
